Hearing, learning and been told it’s defo Sheeezy Out prompto, mate

You heard it here first, on the Swans premier football forum - the proper local forum with proper local contacts, for proper local fans
Let’s hope you are right then. Hellberg being earmarked?
 
When you lose the crowd to the extent he appears to have done then in most cases it's all over bar the shouting. The atmosphere at the final whistle yesterday was downright ugly.

I'd regret it but it's probably time to pull the plug. As much as I want him to do well the results simply haven't been there. Performances have been patchy (despite Saturday's game we're rarely outclassed) but you get the sense that his Plan A has failed and he's scratching around trying to find a Plan B instead of having one ready to go.

Based on his results during both previous caretaker spells you do have to wonder just how things have gone South so quickly now. At the very least then he looked like he could organise a side and pick players in roles that suit them. Now you can't even say that.
 
When’s the Sheehan sacking getting announced?
Well if it not announced tomorrow then I see him staying. Indy highlighted the possible rift between O Dea and Sheehan. So I wonder if this has caused a lot of issues?

It’s very very easy to understand why this has turned out to be the case.

When a manager vacates a position post Christmas then the chances are they’ve lost the dressing room.

In our case we had some players in shop window and loan players ready to impress.

When you add in that after the initial manager bounce the season is coming to a close which means games with mid table mediocrity, teams that are nervy be it in a position of strength or weakness. That means they’re more vulnerable where as we still had that breath of fresh air.

A summer with a raft of changes (losing the likes of O’Brien) was always going to be on the cards and obviously player recruitment high on the agenda.

The start of a season is far harder. Anyone who has played the game will understand that. It’s the time when the foundations are laid for the season ahead.

It would have been a much bigger shock to me if this had turned out well. Again people are swept away by a temporary manager who over achieved but was coming in with all the conditions rife for an end of season boost.

I’m finding this deeply frustrating because I could see it a mile off.
 
I honestly don’t get it either. Surely he can see that we shouldn’t be playing with wing backs ? In desperate need of Eom or Widell to play 10. Ridiculous the lack of service that Vip gets.

He wanted to play with three central midfielders and no #10. That was duller to watch than a Rugby game so he's had to change it.

Of the two I think Eom is perhaps better suited to playing as a #10, but I'd take Widell at a push. Widell to me seems like a Ntcham type player. A charging #8 capable of a slide pass or a shot from distance. The problem we have is to accommodate him as that and Eom at AM means losing one of Franco or Galbraith, and that's not even bringing Stamenic or Yalcouye into the equasion.

The midfield is unbalanced as a result of our recruitment for the managers requirements.

Your insistence that you somehow "could see it a mile off" would be a lot more believable if past experience hadn't tought me that you are precisely the kind of chap who insisted to the end that Russell Martin just hadn't been backed enough.
