Because he saved us from going down and got us our highest points and highest ever finish in the premiership but mainly because he is a club legend ....
He won't have the the players capable of playing football as he did before. But I'd take him back ... with Tutumlu finding our players.
But with a full Summer to plan and with money from selling, it is possible that he could recruit a decent enough squad that could play his way.
You can forget about Laudcrap he shot his bolt trying to swindle the club out of £2m and lost. A nasty greedy twat that thought he was good and wanted a big club.... He got no chance not even with us......Chris Coleman or someone we have never heard of is what we will get is the most likely....
After delving deeper into the complete statistics, we discovered that Paul Clement's 35.71% league win record as Swansea manager actually makes him the second best Premier League manager in the club's history at the time of writing. But who tops the list? Well, no surprises for assuming who's in last place! That prize goes to American boss Bob Bradley, who managed a dismal 18.81% league win ratio in his reign of terror in 2016. He may have been given a weak hand and very little time, but performances and results were truly awful and it's still rather baffling how he got the job in the first place. Ironically in the fifth place, the Europa League spot, is Michael Laudrup. The Dane made history by winning Swansea's first ever major trophy in 2013, battling for Capital One Cup glory and earning the Swans first venture into Europe in 22 years. Domestically however, Laudrup's record was somewhat underwhelming. Laudrup's ninth place finish in 2012/13 actually only saw 11 league wins in total. Just five more than that Capital One Cup campaign! The distraction of trips to Spain, Russia and Switzerland in the Europa League certainly didn't help his cause, but his accrued league win percentage stands at 27.41%. In fourth spot is the man who brought the glory days back to Swansea. Brendan Rodgers led the Jack Army to their first top flight appearance since 1983, doing so with an easy-on-the-eye footballing style beloved by neutrals far and wide. That unique pass-based gameplan gained plenty of plaudits as the Swans earned a surprising 11th place finish - but how many games did Brendan win at the helm? On the whole, Rodgers left with a superb 44.79% win ratio. In the Premier League, however, his total 12 wins from 38 earns him a disappointing percentage of 31.57%. Marginally behind Paul Clement in second place is the man who began last season in charge - Francesco Guidolin. The experienced Italian was granted just seven games in the dugout before the hierarchy got rid last season, in spite of a hard-fought 12th place finish in the season previous. It's a controversial decision to this day - Guidolin had seen far too many of his key players moved on in the transfer window and the Swans fans had a lot of time and respect for him. Nevertheless, it is what it is. So here we are. Most fans will have already worked it out, but it's true. Swansea City's best Premier League permanent manager since 2011 is club legend Garry Monk! His role in helping the Swans recover from a dreadful first half to the 2013/14 season was pivotal, restoring the positive vibes in the dressing room. In his only full season at the helm, Monk led the Swans to their highest Premier League finish of eighth, bringing in highly successful signings Lukasz Fabianski and Gylfi Sigurdsson that season. Despite seeing positives from his signings of Bafetimbi Gomis and Andre Ayew, Monk was moved on in December 2015 with three wins from 15 league matches. Nonetheless, Monk's complete combined league win record of 35.82% remains ever-so-slightly better than Clement's current record of 35.71%. Monk's sacking was deemed harsh by many at the time - would sacking Clement get the same kind of response?
I'm not sure we'll have much from selling - What assets do we have? Fab at his age will not bring in a big purse. Mawson - we commented on £50 million, others say £8-12 million. Good profit. MVDH & Fede (both better players than Mawson) £4 - 6 million Jordan Ayew might bring in. a few ££ more than we paid but Andre Andre might well stay with us or go abroad for half what we paid - few goals for two seasons Mesa! peanuts Borja the same -barely played What idiot in the PL would pay good money for Clucas, Carroll, Narsingh or Olsson? Whoever comes in as manager needs to have a strong philosophy. I see some are trying to spin a return of Monk but if he comes back a large potion of Swansea faithful will not turn up at the Liberty.
I've been banging on about these for 3 seasons. But I'm sure he'd be looking for a PL club IF he comes back to the English Pyramid. If would come now is the right time - ÖFC are not having things go their way so far this season and he might fell it's better to leave with his reputation intact.
Monk was moved on in December 2015 with three wins from 15 league matches. Nonetheless, Monk's complete combined league win record of 35.82% he is crap
a couple of interesting names - McInnes from Aberdeen turned down Rangers so I doubt he would come to Swansea, Laudrup I would love to have back, Leon would be mad to take it, Martinez??????
