Just had a chat with Fats. He thinks that you cut out the type of defending we're currently seeing at Under 9s level.
He said after the Sunderland debacle that 10 points from 5 games was promotion form. Well its 10 points from 8 games now - what`s his assessment now, I wonder ?
Glad you agree! How are you sure he wouldn`t be interested ? He`s out of a job, and an underperforming club with resources and infrastructure in place seems ideal for a coach with proven credentials to come to, improve, and thereby enhance his reputation. If I were SR, I would hope we are already sounding out replacements for Martin, and Potter would be one of those to be sounded out.
He’s not wrong. I think you have to do something spectacularly wrong to get pro footballers making mistakes like the ones we have been making.
Yeah and just to expand on this, when Ryan Lowe left Plymouth for Preston, Argyle promoted his assistant coach, Steven Schumacher to manager. He guided Argyle to promotion to Championship. They are a well organised team of journeymen. Yesterday they beat Norwich 6-2 with one Morgan Whittaker scoring a hat-trick. Fun fact: Whittaker was sign by Argyle last season from Swansea for a club record fee of £1m. I'll leave it up to you to work out which Swansea manager deemed him not to be Championship level.
“If it’s not broke don’t fix it” springs to mind. We know what can happen when coming up from League 1 with a lot of momentum and belief and not too many changes to the team can do. Ipswich are the same in that they haven’t added too many new players and all the players have been playing together for awhile and know their roles. Martin is trying too much too soon and it isn’t working. My Leeds mates are already predicting our 9-0 annual result next weekend
I do fear that we may have missed the boat there though. A PL club in threat of relegation in November is more attractive than a PL club in threat of relegation in February. A PL club in threat of relegation in February is more attractive than a newly relegated PL club. A newly related PL club is more attractive than a mid-table Championship club in September/October. Not to mention the fact that the summer is invariably when the highest number of managerial options are available.
Dragan should sack Ankersen and Kraft this time round too. Go and bring Semmens back into the fold. That guy with Solak's money would get us moving in the right direction again.
I have read all you comments withn interest guys and everything you are saying is everything we have been saying here in swansea for 2 years. I couldn’t believe that a club like yours actually went for him and actually paid money for him. Thought you could have done a lot better and hope you rid yourself sooner rather than later. Mind you we look to have messed up with our replacement for him as well. Good luck for the rest of the season.
Lose the next 2 games and they will sack the manager so I predict in 2 games time mr will be gone! Trouble is every facet of the club is a mess. Awful miss matched squad with no leaders. Shame as their was a positive mood at the start of the season and it's turned real bad. It's a real mess isn't it.
There's a very instant way to get your new manager back on track, and it comes with guaranteed proven success - but unfortunately for you you'll have to wait until Boxing Day.
