Tatey was a ledge but if anyone could decipher that then well done if I didn't know better I'd think he was pissed.

I totally agree.

If I could sum it up it would be “get into em”

I think he makes a lot of good points about our squad tbh. No good apologising on Instagram then just serving up more of the same old crap the following week.

I also think there's something in it where he says can 4 successive managers all really be the only problem? Fact is we've got far too many players who hide when the going gets tough, there's not a lot of fight in there. New boss has his work cut out, whoever he is.

I thought it was a pretty decent article and he makes some really valid points.

I'm a Swans fan and I've heard too many ex players give their two pence about this club while sitting on their fucking high horse!

He has some good points but that three part interview from last season's fanzine really shows he's never been particularly bright!

No doubt the Tatey fan boys will fall for this nonsense but maybe forget that this interview was for BBC scum along with that hack Gareth Vincent!

They may also forget that he was Steve Cooper's lackey and therefore culpable for the soul sucking football I along with other fans had to endure! Didn't even get the reward of Premier League football to justify it but instead we got that cowardice performance against Brentford at Wembley along with two wasted years and a fair amount of money pissed away on loan signings!

Tatey boy also seems to forget that most of his playing career was when the club played the so called 'Swansea Way' including under Brian Flynn.

Historically the club has always tried to play football so no it didn't start with Martinez but it sure as hell ended when his best mate Garry Monk wormed his way into the top job!

I never want to see Tate given any coaching role at this club ever again!

I guess everyone's dream of team of Alan Tates would actually be a nightmare for yourself?

Flipping heck mate. I don’t think this post is fair.

He’s a bloody legend even if he talks shite. He has plenty of credit in the bank for me.

No one is or should be bigger than the club and Tate is no exception. Him and any ex player should not be above criticism for the nonsense they come out with or how they go about things publicly when it comes to the club.

Trundle back in 2016 used his column in Evening Post to defend those reptiles on the old board for selling out to that Hedge Fund while at the same time being the club ambassador. So even if he wanted to criticise the club he can't because he's an employee and therefore it's a conflict of interest but that doesn't stop him going on stupid fucking podcasts to talk utter bullshit.

I just don't trust a lot of ex players talking utter shite about this club while pretending they care or worse acting like they're one of us mug fans but don't really do anything constructive to actually help!

Instead they unknowingly or knowingly take the piss out of this club even further than it already has been for so long.
