Swansea City and Kim Hellberg: The Swedish Coach Tipped to Lead a New Era

[Ronald Parp]

He’s the answer now because Sheehan has shown he wasn’t up to the job. Surely that’s obvious?

What’s obvious is that Sheehan wasn’t up to it. The rest remains to be seen, but at least your on record as saying that Hellberg is the answer to the shitshow that’s been going on for the last several years. Seems like more of the same to me, but good on you.

I don’t think it was obvious in the Summer that Sheehan wasn’t up to it? There was no evidence of that. The stats show he was one of the best performing coaches in the division

Yes in hindsight we all now know he wasn’t up to it but I don’t think many would have said that 6 months ago.

I do agree with you that Hellberg is a risk, but just don’t agree with the idea that the reason he isn’t good enough is because he wasn’t appointed in the Summer.

According to Tales Online he's flying in for talks.

An experienced manager who knows how to build a team….no need to mention any names but I have one in mind and I’ll be amazed if he hasn’t been interviewed

I know Saturdays lottery numbers - and next Monday I am going to come on here and share them and tell you I was right

Will he bring the Swedish chef with him

(older personnel familiar with the muppet show will now who he is)

The thing with Wagner is he’s very cautious and defensive not someone I guess the fans are after at this point?

Didn't he keep Huddersfield up in the Premier league with the lowest goals scored for a surviving team? ironically at our expense. Not for me, would rather take a punt on Hellberg.

It was very difficult not to give the job to Sheehan going on his results. That's done now and Hellburg is coming. He's in the UK so id be surprised if there's not an announcement tomorrow. All we can do is get behind him and the team and hope to God it works out. I believe we have the players. Sheehan lost his way, lost the players and the fans. All I hope he's positive with the talent we have

we may not be the only club talking to him who knows?

Maybe, the Swedish media are also reporting he's flying in to meet with representatives from the club.

Here we are again. Another manager gone. Another international break spent wondering what comes next. Alan Sheehan’s time at Swansea was short, and after that

Never trust a bloke with a girls name. That’s all I’m saying. Anyone who’s been to Bangkok will know what I mean

hope its only us and the deal can be done quickly so he has a week to prepare, still no news on the backroom staff old or if whoever comes in will bring their own ??

Club seems to be moving quickly with getting the replacement in which is refreshing. I'm guessing whoever the new person is they'll want to bring one or two friendly faces in with them.

We’ve had a chance to bring this bloke in and decided he wasn’t up to it. Not impressed.

What a rubbish statement. He was the favourite of the board, but they went with Sheehan because the fans were calling for him to get the job full time. With hindsight we wouldn't have gone with Sheehan, but who could have forseen the big change in tactics once he was given the nod. Rogers would be most people's choice, but unlikely to want to return. Helberg sounds a decent fit for us, and maybe a better bet than some of the journeymen mentioned.
