New Manager

[SwanseaJack]

Some clubs have already sounded out a successor prior to sacking a manager and appoint within days.

Others have a succession plan in place and appoint their first or second choice within a week or two.

The Swansea City way though is seemingly have no prior plan, bumble through wasting a month and probably end up appointing the caretaker (who everyone realises isn't the answer), give out mixed messages throughout.

And yet we're told poster like mediocrity Andy Cole and Andy Coleman that we have these strategic masterminds at the club driving us forward.

Yet another shambles.

You're not wrong, but those clubs hardly every have a shake up in hierarchy like we have had......

We cant have our cake and eat it, Coleman is out (positive), new manager is pending (negative). Lets just get through the season and reassess.

I do agree, I was happy when Levein and Kaplan left and am prepared to give Cravatt / Cohen / Morse / whoever else a chance.

But even the most rose tinted swans must admit that their tenure is not going well.

They put or allowed Coleman to remain chairman when he was pretty poor under K&L and that lead to the shambles of a transfer window (yet another). Now they've all had to admit that Coleman and his crony Gude needed to step away but that was announced after they'd sacked the manager.

I'm glad they're restructuring, but yet again it seems such a mess (the club statement recently about who is doing what role now is mindboggling) and the timing was within their control.

Exactly, so if we can see that with our care for the club, imagine how obvious it must be for everyone else looking in.

The reality is its probably putting off decent candidate applying or showing interest. Need to survive this, wait for people to show interest when we are safe, and go from there. Lets not appoint some dross in desperation. Not defending the long game, just saying it may reap more rewards than rushing

Beyond farcical now, really

Surely any club that has anyone vaguely adult running things would provide an update to fans by the end of the week about the situation, right? Doesn't have to be much, just an update on where they're at.

I'm ok with him at the helm until the end of the season.

If he's in the dugout in August, I'm done.

 

[Swansea93]

To be fair a lot of people expected him in charge until the season ends.

 

[Cinio Dydd Sul]

I don't think there is much choice at this point but to appoint him until end of season unfortunately

This was always going to happen, just as well we have very winnable home games after Saturday...

One thought, he wants to bring in 2 coaches which is understandable.
As a club though, if, and it is if he is not long term would the club employ extra staff where a new coach might want his own people.
Again if he can bring in 2 are they available as the clock is ticking to the end of the season.

I'm wondering if that played part in their thinking?

He knows the players, players know him, no point upsetting the apple cart between now and the end of the season.

Next season is a completely different story.

They might be offered short term contracts between now and the end of the season is my thinking,

It will be interesting to see if he gets the coaches he wants or who they'll be. Surely as you say they'll have to be temporary appointments for now.

Maybe but what standard would they be?
Time ticking, in before Leeds or just for 7 games.
