    What do fans expect at an instant.....? I can see many positives this early in potts reign. First of all the club has had a Major clear out and we have a new manager with 3 new coaches (Curt included). We have some new faces and the return of loan players who will have to learn the way Potts wants to play and the pre-season friendlies is showing perfectly well the players are learning potts way which is the Swansea way in leaps and bounds........If your after instant success then go and watch elsewear as that won't happen anywhere let alone with the club.....Look at the bigger picture what is happening here and not be so negative after all Towards the end of last season all that was said on here was we need a massive clearout and a new manager.......Well what do you think has happened and still happening ?
    The changes are taking place and it will take time.....We need a couple of quality strikers that can play potts system and how easy is that to find let alone persuading them to come here ? It is very difficult and the club is working very hard behind the scenes to achieve the goal........The Bigger picture you need to look at and not the negatives.......We will be fine and will do well next season once everything is in place, Afterall it is what we all want as we could not carry on as we were...

    So we will have 3 days to bring in players after we get stuffed at Sheffield and they finally realise what we have is **** then.

    What puzzles me is why Potter agreed to join in the first place?

    Do you know for all of the **** we are putting up with, He is the one person I think can make something happen for us, but I wonder why he has joined us, I have no doubt they will have told him that he could bring players in only to renege on that, but now he is tied in and ****ed, he cant walk away as he is probably earning treble here than in Sweden. It just appears they have lied to him as they lied to the trust as they lied to every other manager as they have lied to all the fans.

    Is he still getting paid £600,000+ now that we have been relegated, because if we are having a major cull of the deadwood playing staff we should have a similar cull behind the scenes.

    Sadly, I wouldn’t be surprised that there is more than a grain of truth in what you’ve written....

    But he is making the robbing bastards lots of money, he is probably on a percentage of what is being sent to Yank Land.

    I guess that he has negotiated a new contract or a contract extension - but I can’t believe it was for a reduced sum...,

    Wouldn't you just love to be given 30 mins with the 3 of them to actually ask them proper questions on how they are ruining a great club and what are they actually thinking, but make sure they have taken a truth drug, probably not I suppose because I would probably ending up spending 30 years at her majesties pleasure.

    HJ: Excellent! I'm glad we've got that sorted, just sign by here...…………….

    What major clearout? As far as I can remember only Fabianski who I think had a year on his contract and Ki who was out of contract of the first team squad have gone although A Ayew is on his way. Jenkins himself said we would have to sell before we can buy. The team needs strengthening in 2 or 3 positions as most of us know but with the transfer window closing on 9th August time is running out.

    What Clear out OMG...You are really up to date on what is happening <doh> None of us knows what is happening behind closed doors and can only guess yes right guess.....We wanted a change and we are getting a change end of story....deal with it and wake up and smell the coffee and stop being like little girls.....We have had 5 pre season games with different players that potts wants to look at, The score does not matter at the end of the day....How a player reacts to potts instruction is the most important thing and i totally agree with potts that the players have reacted and done well and he is pleased....So am i...
