What type of manager do we want?

[Andrew - North Hill]

Forget formations and tactics for a second, what the club needs more than anything right now is an injection of energy and excitement. We are crying out for someone - whether it's a DoF, a new coach or some new players - who can bring a buzz to the club and get everyone going.

At the moment - last 5 years really - everything just feels very stale. We play a zombified version of the football we used to play 10-15 years ago, and it's just doing us no good. I'd wager 80-90% of everyone on here and other forums only goes out of habit or duty these days, not because they are particularly arsed.

We need a complete reset - back to the drawing board, rip it all up top to bottom and start again. It doesn't really matter what "it" looks like, as long as "it" is different and it's fresh and gets everyone excited and champing at the bit to go to games again.

Top post, Andrew.

Just look at Liverpool before and after Klopp.

Just as well you're not a decision maker.

Will you bore off mate.

You’re literally liking posts that pretty much replicate stuff I’ve said.

I’m ignoring you now okay boy. You’re so tedious.

I’ve already stated I’m happy for Williams to stay for a bit and to identify someone long term. The Tate idea is simply a short term one to galvanise, not a long term decision.

Now just go off and giggle with your friends you boring little man.

Apart from 2 near promotions that could have been with investment. Did all he could with what he had at his disposal. I fail to see what else he could have achieved. As opposed to since where we've just seen mediocrity and the such.
I get what you're trying to say but I find it hard to answer due to my thoughts on his tenure.

Well it's all very well and good getting to the playoffs but apart from a socially distanced trip to Wembley, you have the same to show for it come June as the team who finished 20th.

I haven't seen anyone else recommend giving the job to Alan Tate until the end of the season.

You’re so obtuse. It’s so pointless getting drawn into your inane thoughts.

Goodbye.

socially distanced trip to Wembley

To play a team he'd already had 5 stabs at over 2 seasons, yet still didn't have a clue how to formulate a game plan to try and beat them.

That day at Wembley was quite literally a waste of time for everyone concerned with the club. I was delighted when he left.

Without wanting to bog this thread down with back and forth.

You mentioned giving Tatey the job until the end of the season. I replied stating it is a good job you aren't a decision maker.

There is absolutely no sense in giving the managers job to someone who hasn't managed at any level due to tenuous link with him being a former player.

Too late, you’re on the naughty step with me now. You’ll never make it on here Smurphy

Haha, at least you've got company on the naughty step

I'm on the ignore list apparently so maybe I'll get away with this time.

Rockin wants any one who's played for us but must not have coaching badges, talk about clueless.

There was a point where the Swansea way of possession based football was unusual in the British game making us different. Teams didn't know what to do against us. Now loads of teams pass out from the back and try and play a possession game and therefore more teams have worked out ways to counteract it. Not that we play it anywhere near as well as we used to. I'd be happy to see a different approach.

Tony Pulis it is then

And Daps put ECB on there as well, we’ll have a 5 a side team if this carries on

Shouldn't take us long the way things are going, we might even get an eleven a side

How do you find out if someone has you on ignore?
