I went off Wigan with the response to this challenge:

Bad challenges happen and there have been worse but two days later... Wigan chairman Dave Whelan's claims that McManaman had taken the ball "clean as a whistle".

Meanwhile Martinez first reactions to it were to say he thought people were going on about it too much and as Mcmanaman was English they should leave him alone.

Was glad to see them slide away after that.

The only time I can say that football sent into a tail spin! I don't think Haidara ever recovered mentally from that shocking challenge.

Starting to panic yet?

Scoring less than a goal a game, relegation battle and Monk looking out of his depth?

Nope, because we're about to get back to the 'Swansea Way', even if it does mean rehiring one of the biggest bullshitters in football.
 
I assume he means Rodgers though I haven't heard that rumour it does make sense.

Up until the point you realise that in Rodgers mind he's next in line for a huge club and he'll hold out for that and miss opportunities to get back into football at clubs which are a realistic size for his ability.

Classic case of ex player - now manager - has his mates there, then signs new players who don;t know him or anything about him, then he can't manage the side. **** off back to the welsh league for me - much like Terry!!
 
Garry Monk's anticipated dismissal as Swansea City manager appeared to move a step closer on Tuesday as chairman Huw Jenkins declared that "something needs to change".

British media reports suggest Monk's hours at the Liberty Stadium are numbered after a run of one win in 11 games that has seen the Welsh club slide to within a point of the relegation zone.

"We all feel at the club that something needs to change to get things back on a positive note as quickly as possible and get us back to the levels of performances we have got to have to win games at the Premier League level," said Jenkins, who was in London to collect an honour at Buckingham Palace.

Asked if an announcement about Monk's future would be made on Tuesday, Jenkins replied: "Not today, because I am up here."

Monk took training as usual on Tuesday, having reportedly held talks on Monday with Jenkins, who has been appointed to the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to Welsh football by Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

Monk, 36, led Swansea to an eighth-place finish last season -- his first full season at the helm -- but recent results, culminating in Saturday's 3-0 loss at home to Leicester City, have left him exposed.

"The difference between the end of August and how we find ourselves today is something we haven't experienced at Swansea before, such a big change around from where we were after beating Man United in the last game in August," Jenkins added.

"I think it just again highlights if things are not dealt with and addressed early enough the Premier League is very unforgiving, and unless every angle and everybody's focus is 100 percent week in, week out, things can change very quickly."

Former Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers and David Moyes, recently sacked by Real Sociedad, have been touted as potential successors to Monk.

Funny comment. Who else would give him an OBE, but "Britain's Queen Elizabeth"?
