    The majority of people I talk to have concerns about Guidolin - and many of those concerns have their roots in last season's performances.

    Surely, you can accept that people have their doubts about Guidolin?

    Does that make them "Anti-Guidolin" or are they principally "Pro-Swansea City"?

    I have been going to watch the Swans through thick & thin for 50 years and I have never, ever wanted them to lose. <cheers>

    Personally I think Guidolin will still be our manager post Tuesday, I'd prefer him not to be but I think he will be and my reasoning is simple, just like me. Keeping him is the cheapest option as far as the owners are concerned. I think, like me, they've probably seen enough to suggest that we are capable of winning enough points to stay in the league this year. As a business consortium, their only ambition is to make money and to do that all we need to do is stay in the league. The players we have are capable of doing this even if Nick Clegg was their manager so I can't see them paying off Guidolin and his staff just to pay again for a new manager with new staff.

    Also, rightly or wrongly, I believe the recent stories written about Guidolin are just page fillers with little truth or foundation. The links in the stories are so tenuous they could have been written by an IT student over a cup of java in Starbucks.

    Giggs is Welsh, we're a Welsh club, Bradly is American, guess where our owners come from? Zola is Italian so lets make up a story where Zola becomes manager and Guidolin moves upstairs as D of F. Allerdice is available and is in the news so lets give him 8:1 odds on getting the job.

    So, I think we're stuck with Guidolin for rest of our embittered, relegation battle of a season. I think I'm right but hope I'm wrong.

    So posters (whomever they may be) are not necessarily Anti-Guidolin for voicing concerns about his tactics etc? <cheers>

    Yeah...think you are right, the odds have been slashed massively on him being for the chop. The bookies rarely get it that wrong.

    Personally I think its a silly idea, but hey ho.

    Guidolin gone and this guy Bradley!!! The club has lost the plot it seems.

    I'm gonna hold judgement until he has a few games but, uninspiring is my initial thoughts

    Guidolin sacked and ****ing Bradley employed. that's us in the championship then. I knew these ****ing meddling yanks would ruin our club when they took over. I would guess HJ had no say in this and I was worried when they took over that they would not listen to anyone and they have done exactly that.. For all of those who said we needed them how do you feel now. For ****ing shame on you you Yank ****ers. Take your money and **** off.

    As you might have guessed I am not to impressed.

    Apparently Marcelino was interviewed also yet the decision was made to give it to Bradley. Honestly we're run by morons.

    It was the share-owning Directors (Jenkins, Dineen, Morgan etc) plus shareholders not on the Board (Rob Davies) who said we needed outside investment to take us to the next level.

    So far, there has been no injection of funds into the Club, only into the Bank Accounts of those shareholders who sold - and the next level at the moment is more likely to be the Championship....

    Thank you for helping to keep us up last year Franco & arrivederci !

    Welcome Bob - I really hope you are here for a few years (on the basis that if you are, we will still be in the PL)

    Taff, sorry I don't care who sold the club, but when they signed they sold us down the river as many on here thought. there were those who said it was necessary to move on and look what it has got us. we could have gone to the championship and still be run and owned locally instead these money grabbing yanks will rape our club for all they can get.

    Swan we are an embarrassment. I blame the Yanks and I will keep blaming them as they are in the fast lane to killing our club.

    I ask th questions, what qualifications does he have to run a PL side, if he had been from Northampton with his background would we have employed him. No is the answer.

    Without a doubt, now mark my words, he will not see the season out!.......................<ok>



    The problem with our club, is clearly the board of directors, we are now officially a joke, with nothing short of muppets in charge.

    We have done exactly what Villa did last season. They got rid of a poor manager in Sherwood and replaced him with an even worse one in Garde. I said at the start of the season we looked like Villa of last and we have even copied them in replacing a manger who was struggling with one who is second rate.

    One thing we do know is that Jenkins is no longer in control of anything.
