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

[AlexanderDex]

Well no unless you have zero integrity.

I can only speak for myself but I was ridiculed for my opinion at the time so I can’t just let it slide.

Playoffs.

I was skeptical of appointing Sheehan but I’ve been impressed by the statement of intent and the board have finally started investing.

So you were so dismissive of him you felt he would lead us to the play offs?

And yet there isn’t a single post of you dismissing the appointment at the time…

Yet on another thread this week you derided fans for saying it's unlikely the next manager will do much better as the players possibly aren't as good as some think they are? We were getting the pitchforks out already apparently, but it's fine when you write a manager off as soon as he's appointed and after a brilliant run as temporary manager?

When Sheehan was first put forward for the job on a full time basis I was against it. Overtime he earn't the right and respect to get the job full time.

Unfortunately for him and us it didn't work out. It takes a special kind of someone to pop up and say "well I told you so".

Hindsight is a wonderful thing along with selective a memory.

Sorry when did I say this ?

The closest I’ve got to what you’ve said is deriding people for supporting him then withdrawing support so quickly which is what I warned about before the appt

I think every potential candidate is a huge risk

Someone like Wagner would have been a bigger risk than Hellberg. He did well at Huddersfield for 18 months and was sacked. Also failed in his other roles in Germany & Switzerland.

From an outsider point of view - he looked like he did well at Norwich but if you dive into it - Norwich fans thought he was useless and should have performed better with the players they had.

He is someone who to me looks like he is on a downward spiral in his career.

Mentality & confidence is just as important in a Manager as it is in a player. Someone like Hellberg is on the rise - he will have a confident mentality and determination that someone like Wagner, Corberon, Mowbray etc won’t have and the hope is his fresh and forward thinking ideas will push us on

Someone on Facebook last night said we should be getting Ian Holloway in because he knows the championship

I know the championship (been following it closely for years) and before that was closely following the Premier League

Will he bring the Swedish chef with him

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

Should help with the diet for the players and could chip in with the odd team talk
