From what he said I think he intends building the squad from scratch. This is the right way to go but I just hope he's given the time by the owners and the fans keep their patience.

We haven't got time to start from scratch or we will be in l2 before you know it. all we are signing is more players for the academy, I don't care what anyone says the kids will not keep us in this league, it is to difficult and physical. patience for me is running thin, not with him but the lack of activity and piss poor activity in the 5 or so windows since the money grabbing ****ers are here. I guarantee if we struggle early on the fans will turn, not on Potter but the board and big nose. rightly or wrongly who can blame them for what these people are doing to our club.
Still a lot of big money earners to get off the books to plug this year's £40M shortfall.
Potters hands will be tied until the bulk of that is sorted.
It'll be a tough start to the season but potter looks to be the man to get you playing.
If your club has rejected any offer for Bony then that is total incompetence.
Any money is a bonus. For a 2m euro offer you should be packing his bags and driving him to the airport.
Free transfer and all his wages off the books would be a result.
You could easily be left with him loaned out and still covering his wages.

We will be paid £2m to let Bony go out on loan for a season and should he do well they could end up buying him.....With A Ayew leaving now i would have thought we would need him if potts and the club want to get back to the Swansea way. I agree that Potts will need time but as starting from scratch then that would be suicide and another certain relegation.....It will be hard to stay up anyway without helping it along selling our better players.....I wish i was the boss as nobody who has two or more years on their contract would be going anywhere for any price and would be required to give the club a better chance of going back up......Huw has just signed a new contract that sees him remaining as chairman so we can see the way the yanks want to go......The fans who bought their ST ( 15000 ) of them are being ripped off imo....
And if you made that decision, you'd go bust......
......AGAIN.
The piece you are avoiding is the £40M hole in you're budget.
You can't keep a player on your books being paid £90k a week when you need to find £40M over the next 12 months.
Disagree we have plenty of money.....We have not spent that much for the last 3 or 4 seasons. We made a profit and we were relegated.....Money is not an issue and we should be spending a lot more of what we have.....We could have stayed up easily if the yanks opened their wallets wider...
If that's what you want to believe........
Dai....this is self-delusion. You lost money at the operational level and plugged the gap with transfer profits. Granted, due to deprecation, you may have a bit of cash but a has been said, you have a £40m. drop in income to face. If costs don't come down by this amount, your operational losses will increase….. and you'll have a hell of a job to make transfer profits to compensate.
I think with the Sales that have already gone through we are at a £22 Million Black hole currently, and this will drop substantially once the Sale of Bony, J Ayew, A Ayew, and Mawson are finalised, we should be in Surplus with other Sales on the cards too, and I fully expect us to start incoming transfer in the next few weeks, but yes you are correct, Dai is delusional............
The maths will stack up Phil.I think with the Sales that have already gone through we are at a £22 Million Black hole currently, and this will drop substantially once the Sale of Bony, J Ayew, A Ayew, and Mawson are finalised, we should be in Surplus with other Sales on the cards too, and I fully expect us to start incoming transfer in the next few weeks, but yes you are correct, Dai is delusional............
Get bony and the Ayew brothers shifted and you'll save 8M even if you give them away. Bony will be the tough nut to crack.
The big question is how quickly will potter be allowed to bring in new faces.
So we never made a profit not once but a few times.... Give over we have made a shed full of money and our main problem now is that we are more concerned about making as much money as we can at the detriment of our progression to finish as high as we possibly can....Instead of making the club better we would sell our best players for profit and recruit mostly rubbish as replacements........If any club want to do good then you have to spend money and we are lacking big time in that department and it shows and we have finally and deservedly been relegated after scraping home for a number of season......you have to speculate to accumulate to stay in the top league and we never heeded the countless warnings from previous seasons........We have money.

Well that's a strange one, was he stating the truth? All our African players are buggering off, except for J Ayew, I'm well pleased they are too, nothing but dross.
France on the other hand seem to be doing well with players of African decent.........
I tend do agree, is it right he gets band for having that view, is it racist, not sure it is and 12 months seems extremely heavy, when you see nations fined pence for constant racist chanting.Well that's a strange one, was he stating the truth?

It depens on whether you rather go to Swansea or Cardiff for the evening when you're from Port Talbot
