West Brom plan talks with Swans boss Williams

[Magic_Michu]

The initial delta to fix the mess that Martin made was encouraging.

It was and still is Marge that fixed the defence that Martin broke; Sheez instilled structure, confidence and belief: our senior players stepped up and out of Martin’s quagmire of confusion.

Williams has recently had a detrimental effect on the sum of our parts. We regressed to the bad old days of tippy happy tortuous keep ball - his ploy is to congest the middle to boost possession - at all costs: Inverted FBs, wingers that mainly only cut- back and recycle; dropping the pivot in btn the CHs. It’s a playbook we’ve seen fail spectacularly.

Although we sit just outside the play offs half way through the season with a bang average squad.

We’ve competed in every single game this season no matter who we’ve played, not losing by more than a single goal.

If people can’t see progression being made under this management then I give up.

Why didn't "marge" sort it with russ here then?

Quote me if I’m wrong but I’m sure he wasn’t here until Duff came in.

I'd be gutted if Williams left. He gets the club and as you say making progress. I think we are on to something with him and we need stability not another change.

An extra 2-3 attacking options would see us in playoffs comfortably imo

 

[Magic_Michu]

From what I understand there’s players lined up for January.

I think we’ll be there or there abouts with the play offs at the end of the season.

I still think it’s probably a season too soon - but hopefully we build for a real stab at promotion next season

 

[Magic_Michu]

Mind you - I’ll lose the job of filming the games if we get promoted.

 

[Cooperman]

Say what you want about Williams, but continuity plays a big part in the trajectory of a football club.

At the end of the day, if WBA approach us through the correct channels, and if the dangled carrot is a big one, then he's off. Who goes with him and who stays is another question altogether.

 

[Bluenile]

Tony Mowbray.

Wayne Rooney. Take us to another level

 

[Pentyrchjack]

Not sure why the Baggies are interested in him. Our away game there in the summer was a shocker and tactically inept.

Didnt RM turn them down? or say he wasnt interested? perhaps the man who lost his case said the man youwnat is Swansea boss who knows?

 

[Magic_Michu]

I havent heard anything re names positions (although I gather there’s still interest in Noel Milleskog)…

And didn’t hear anything re names whispers yesterday about Williams WBA - nothing mentioned in the press room at all… but I’d be surprised if he wasn’t on their list.

Because maybe clubs judge the ability of a manager on more than just one game… weird, I know.

Left when Coops left - helped build the top3 performing defence that Coops built.
Wanted nothing to do with Martin’s bonkers ways

came back post Martin’s bonkers ways and no doubt will want nothing to do with Williams’ bonkers ways if Williams persists with his self indulgent bonkers ways

Much as I don't care if Williams naffs off, I'd prefer if he didn't go somewhere that has the resources to poach anyone decent at the club. So reluctantly, as I still think he's a wrong 'un for us in himself if allowed his penchant to bore the shit out of everyone, and keep picking stupid teams and subs, I'm in the keep him and hope whatever he is currently doing or not doing results in us continuing the uptick in form and playing style of the last couple of games.

I am minded though, that QPR and Luton didn't even try and play us, and the last team that came at us was Hull, so we need to see more improvement against teams that actually take us on and teams above us.
