I didnt want FG in charge as I didnt think he was the man for the job.His selections,tactics and substitutions baffled me.
What I was hoping for was a manager to give me hope,get me looking forward to match days.Again.
Now,well its like the Petty fiasco all over again.Mind you we got rid of that w@nker so you fukn yanks had better be careful.We dont suffer fools lightly in Swansea.
Maybe you could do yourselves a favour and fuk off back across the pond before we do it for you.

Swansea Till I Die.

All the best to Guidolin , my guess it will be the easiest job to leave that he has ever been shown the door to . Our board is fuked......BUT welcome to Bradley and I hope we do well BUT ..between our board and the Americans , we are being run run by a Conference set up at the top . All my pride is in a nose dive ......

Also , a big thankyou to Guidolin taking the team from a very dangerous position when he took over last season , to keep us up . And also a big thankyou for trying to steer us through the " Tough " games at the start of this season with Williams moving on and a whole new crop of strikers coming in . You were givien the hardest circumstances imaginable in your 22 or so games . I'm sure the new manager will use the tough start you endured to continue trying to go forward as the schedule eases. Thankyou sir , much respect .

Yes, but if the Club is run as a Company (and it should be) there are Board meetings where key decisions are taken. Board members are consulted even if the decision goes against them. That's the way it works. This tells me that the Americans don't give a **** what the Supporters Trust or the fans think.

Like I said before we have now turned into every other club in the division - and there was me thinking we did things a little differently here.

'Swansea Way' my arse.

Always happy with your opinion Matt, whether I agree with it or not

I can't speak for others but I wanted Guidolin out because I thought his management style was stifling our team and I thought his selection policy was guiding us to defeat in most games under him.

It is only in the last three games that we've played a recognizable formation. Pre Citeh the formation was unrecognizable, we were all over the place. No one knew their roles or the roles of others and e looked lost, clueless. This has to be laid at Guidolins feet because as coach it is his responsibility to prepare the team sufficiently enough to at least be able to compete and this obviously was not the case.

The Citeh cup game we did revert back to something a little more recognizable. On paper at least, the formation was a good one and catered to our strengths, wing-play as well as a central midfield threat but, imo Guidolins selection in both Citeh games and against Liverpool completely negated the attacking prowess the team possesses.

Imo, Guidolins first selection error was to move Siggy, our best player, away from the area where he is most effective, attacking midfield, out of the way on to the left flank, where he is completely ineffective. This selection decision greatly compromised the attacking threat we had through the middle as well as on the left flank.

The ill-effects of this move Guidolin compounded by a tactical error of changing Sigys vacated AM position into a CM position and giving the role to Fer. So we've lost an attacking midfielder in Siggy and replaced him with a central midfielder Fer and again, our attacking options were are reduced. We also do not gain any defensive benefit by replacing Siggy for Fer because Fer is not a box to box player and doesn't track back effectively.

With our attack on the left and through the middle neutered, defenses could simply concentrate their efforts on snuffing out the right. It didn't matter who played there, Routledge, Barrow, because they were double teamed out of the game.

Imo, Guidolins poor selection completely blunted any attack the formation offered and with no penetration down left, through the middle and with the right winger marked out of the game the results were inevitable imo.

But still we could have got something out of the Liverpool game but alas, the best chance fell to a central defender, but good on him busting a gut to get there, where was every one else? van der Hoorn did get a goal nicked off him when Fer kicked his goal bound effort over the line, so I think some of the criticism he got for his miss was a little unfair. I do think the criticism Guidolin got was completely justified though as he didn't change any thing or make any decisions that would have got us a goal. He just flapped his arms about incomprehensibly on the touch line.

This happened almost every game imo while Guidolin was in charge. I could see our best players played out of position, I could see our players were out of sorts with the system as well as with him and I wanted things to change, for the better. Unfortunately might not have happened with rather uninspiring change at the top.

That's what I saw Matt and why I thought Guidolin wasn't good enough for us. Time tells all so we'll see what happens with Brad but I'm not impressed and to be honest I feel that I'd prefer Guidolin to have been given longer than have Brad here now.

Stumpy I value and respect your opinion and my post wasn't directed at you .I understand the feelings that posters had regarding the start of the season but felt that Guidolin was still trying to establish his best side formation and considering the weakness ( which was apparent last season ) then with selling of key players and then the introduction of new players not of Guidolins choice and top that with the opposition then all was set for the perfect storm .We'll never know if FG could have turned the results around ,personally I do .We find our selves regardless of who's in charge with a squad of imbalanced in terms of pace ,inexperience & players frankly who have had their day , a toxic mix which should have been addressed 2 seasons ago.I am angry to see the Club's reputationwhich had been the envy of others and an example of how a club should be run disappear in the stroke of Jenkins and co signatures .

Your right of course PGF, its just a big disappointment and, at this point, doesn't seem to be an inspired choice at all. 11the in the French second division having lost his last 6 games, I believe, doesn't inspire confidence.
