So We're Stuck With Sheehan?

[WentToSchoolWith]

Michael Duff had more points on the board at this stage in his time here.

Something else I thought about last night was that Duff had a month or so where we looked genuinely good. Won four in a row I think, winning away at Plymouth and home to Norwich especially stood out as really good results. It dropped off from there, and Duff seems like a bit of a weirdo, but we've not had a spell even close to that since Sheehan took over full-time

I don't think either Carrick or Brendan will be looking for a club as small as us at this stage.

Would depend on how well the club could sell their project imo but yeah

 

[Smurph]

On topic though, the owners are almost certainly not going to be happy with the return on their investment so far. They didn't make the kind of financial commitment they did to be sat in 17th place in the league.

With the likes of Carrick and Rodgers out of a job now I would be very surprised if they didn't put out feelers for either and if they wanted to come then I could see them pulling the trigger especially if we get another shit performance on Saturday.

Personally, I think we have to back him.

Yes we can't get frustrated, disappointed, annoyed, lets just keep it constructive and civil

So what's gone wring this season? When Shezza took over last season he could barely lose a game now he can barely win one. Is it down to the fact O'Brian isn't here any more?

Only watched the second half last night.
I noticed that Idah twice put the ball into the danger area and we didn’t have a player within 20 yards. One was a clever back heel to the penalty spot which would have been a sitter for anyone willing to gamble.
No pace and no connections is what I saw, again.

We make stupid panicky decisions in goalscoring positions almost every time.

 

[Swansea93]

Rodgers would want full control of transfers and everything, can’t see them agreeing to anything like this if they did look for a new manager with our new recruitment team in place, it’ll have to be someone who’s happy not having the full say on transfers imo.

I noticed this yesterday. Cullen was know where to be seen. One flick on was really good.

The flick is only good when it comes off. He needs to be aware of where his teammates are.

Swansea City : Alan Sheehan is going nowhere, so get used to it EXCLUSIVE - Swansea City News

The pattern of results cannot go on as the Swans sit in seventeenth in the Championship this morning on seventeen points after two away games that should have been so different. The gap between the Swans and the play offs is six points. Not an unassailable position in a extremely tight league.

He may well have done, he was still shît though

"With twenty nine ins and outs in the summer"

I am getting tired of seeing this line parroted over and over now as a catch all excuse.

"What they dont see, and it’s obvious to many sensible fans why - is the finance in getting rid of a head coach, and then his assistant. That WILL run into a figure well above a million pounds as we have already reported this week. Then there’s the replacement, possible compensation and a team of coaches."

It is not encouraging news for Sheehan when the argument for keeping him has turned to a cost saving one rather than because of on field performances or optimism about them turning.

I saw a tweet from Tom Coleman (yeah, I know) after the game last night.
He said "top 6 ambitions are slipping away" or something to that effect.
That's the first time I've seen anyone associated with the club publicly state that the top 6 was the aim.

Slightly rudimental way of looking at it, but that's swings and roundabouts really as we saved money by appointing him in the summer & not having to pay compo for another manager then.
So the cost of getting rid isn't as high as it would have been as we didn't have to pay to get him in the first place.

Yeah, when you read that a club won't get rid of someone due to the cost then they are virtually admitting that he needs to go.
If you don't think he deserves to go then you don't even go down the route of compensation and costs.

People said we couldn’t afford to sack Williams
