New Manager

[bakajack]

The right manager in the right environment can thrive. Brendan is proof of that with us.
This decision is actually so vital, git's giving me anxiety!! lol.
We just can't afford to fuck this up

Its not just the decision of manager, Coleman and the club as a whole need to have an internal review and deal with the dysfunctional elements that serve to undermine everything that the manager that he employs needs to do his job successfully.

The odds are we’ll choose poorly. Sometimes you get lucky (Martinez, Rodgers - our 4th choice at the time- etc) but it is Russian Roulette whatever Gonzo may claim.

We need a foreign manager who moves to Swansea, embraces the culture and says- judge me by my actions.

.... I'll get my coat

Eric Ramsay??

 

[Bullworker]

Could I suggest Swans change their style of play?

Eric Ramsay??

Linked before, worked with us before doing a decent job in the MLS only 33 and just noticed he’s come into favourite with Sky Bet, which means nothing.

Can't see us paying compensation for anyone outside of a very low-cost league. MLS isn't as high ranking as it thinks, but imagine it would take a fair whack to pay off Minnesota for Ramsay; and that's before we consider the fact that we'd be battling relegation with a 33 y/o manager who has one season of US football on his CV.

Someone mentioned Ramsay yesterday.
We definitely looked at him before opting for the bald man.
Wasn't he a youth coach at Man Utd before going to MLS?
Again, is it the right time for another young, untested manager?

I believe he worked with us as a youth coach before having more senior coaching roles with Rob Page at Wales and Ole Gunnar at United, before getting the big first job in the MLS.

Would seem to have been one of the u21 and u18 coaches 2013-2017. Moved to Chelsea and the United as u23s coach and promoted to support the first team. Good reputation for player development. Looks to have done a sound job at Minnesota.

May even big Dennis Lawrence -one of his current assistants. An appointment not unlike Brendan in some ways. Or Paul Clement in others. Seems a bit of a gamble. Would not be against this.

Our potential new manager is barely a year older than me, Christ. I've well and truly reached Unc status as the kids would say.

 

[Magic_Michu]

I’m hearing Eric Ramsay too

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

He’d have to be insane to move from his current job in MLS to this situation if there is anything to this; maybe his family has not settled there and want to come back to the UK.

Still 2/1 on Sky Bet.
