Playing in the Championship is starting to bite now, as everyone knew it would. The blatant lack of support from the the Asset strippers, of Potter, his ambition, his squad and our club is already starting to hurt even at this early stage. On Tuesday its likely we'll be playing Stoke without Fer, Fulton, Carroll, Monterro and Celina, no surprise we have injuries to contend with, the Championship is the most frictional league there is and the winners are usually the 'last team standing'. Problem is, as we knew it would be, we have no cover for these players or any player we lose. By giving no support to Potter or the squad we have no competitive squad to play with. There's no competition for places, no cover for injuries and through attrition we'll soon have no competitive match day squad, so not many goals, not many wins, not many points. All we have to look forward to is watching our club diminish and fade as a competitive entity which could end up out of the Championship at the seasons end. To avoid this we have to let the empty seats do the shouting for us at the Liberty if we're going to be heard. An empty Liberty has to mean a losses of at least £500k, maybe more in match day revenues. Revenue feeds the asset strippers so imo we should starve the ****ers out. The medicine will taste so bad but if it cures the disease and saves the club then we have to take it and the sooner we start the better. Jenkins OUT, Yanks OUT
Season tickets already paid up.....spare seats, say 5,000 at 20 quid = 100,000 per match plus a bit of merchandise and grub..... It will take a long time to bite...and that's assuming everyone thinks the same. And the owners will tell you that there is even less money to invest. They won't walk away and liquidation is the only way to force an issue. Are you ready for that?
You couldn't make it up Do you think all these things happen to other teams or are we a special case?!
Maybe the management here did not know how to use him. Benfica 0 - 2 Bayern München #FotMob https://www.fotmob.com/livescores/2876536?status=finished
Good to see Sanches on the score sheet, An excellent player too good for us and never had good enough teammates around him and managers that were poor. Good luck to him i say.....
Let's be honest, he was pants when he was with us. He's probably one of these players who's made to look good when playing with "better" players but with us he had nowhere to hide.
An interesting article that raises a few interesting issues - that said the ‘real’ reason why we didn’t buy Woods (per Dineen) is that we couldn’t even afford to pay the £500k, let alone the £6m ..... That being the case, the strategy is basically ‘Hobson’s Choice’ .... or should that be ‘Potter’s Choice’..... http://www.maxwellhicks.com/2018/09/21/swans-grow-your-own-strategy-blossoming-under-potter/
The real question for me is why we messed Woods and Brentford around if we had no chance of signing him in the first place?
To give the Jack Army the impression that we were chasing a ‘decent’ player ..... but Leigh let the cat out of the proverbial bag.....
