It wasn't all that good actually. Some highlights but generally just dodging the drop.
Now's the time to see if the Americans are serious about us. One thing about Vince, he's hung on in there, I don't see our owners doing the same. They've already got £30 million of their investment back and will rape us for the rest. :angry:
Enjoy the Premier League and take some top six scalps :thumbup:

Under Monk it became more pragmatic and under a succession of managers that pleasing pass style disappeared.Quote:

As for Huw Jenkins well I think your supporters should look back to where you were at the start of the Century. He has been your chairman during the greatest ever times for your club. Some of your fans have forgotten where you were and where you have been over the past dozen years.
See you in the Championship next season
Again come on here as a real sensible poster Pearcey you are a good man:thumbup:Quote:

Can't see you coming straight back up. Want you to though, we owe you a hammering for that inept performance we gave against you when you beat us 3-0 the last time we were both in the Prem. The most pathetic, inept display I have ever seen against you, in 50 years of supporting the Bluebirds. You should keep Carvalhal as manager. Agree? That squeaky voiced Scoucer wants him to remain in charge. It's the first time I have ever agreed with anything he has ever said. Heard him on Talksport radio yesterday. He really does need to have elocution lessons though, before he comes on the radio though lol.
Thanks Jeeps. I’m a football fan mate. Reading first but then come the Welsh clubs. I really wanted Swansea to stay up but in truth they are simply not good enough.Quote:

Think they really need to splash some parachute money on a really creative no.10 though.
It would be nice if some of these crooked shareholder cashed in their chips at this point.
Your club’s summer transfer policy really hurt you bad , not replacing Sigurdsson and Levente before they left and then the hope from the new manager bounce that looked to have saved you again this season.
Sanches was a big failure, Bony was well past his best and in January the signing of Andrew Ayew failed. I knew when they signed Andy King that they were in deep trouble! Clucas was ok.Quote:

I thought that there was an element of "The Emperor's new Clothes" about your style of play - I saw it as being negative "If we have the ball, they can't score".
If I was a Swansea fan, though, I would be deeply concerned. The club have an expensive bunch of wasters on the books now (what happened to financial frugality?), they have a failed roofer buying players, and they will be on yet another new manager in August. Most likely Leon Britton - and he would be mad to take it because he will be telling players he's played with they are out.
Whilst I think that some fans are jumping the gun by saying you are the next Sunderland, it wouldn't surprise me if they are right. I can't see Swansea heading back to the Premier League anytime soon. Have they sold many season tickets for next season?
Had a bit of banter with some Bluebirds in Swansea today. Like the guys on this forum, top blokes. I will miss the chance of a south Wales derby but I see the prospect of one with Newport more likely than one with you. :ohwell:
Andy King was absolutely useless yesterday - did nothing.Quote:

Surely that will be put on hold now ? After all who expands rtheir stadium when relegated ? :sherlock::hehe:
Zz you are a proper fan and i will never forget your name change from what it was before it meant a lot at the time.
I cant say im sad you went down but perhaps you can get your club back now.
I know our relegation was instrumental in our return to blue.
I got hammered on this forum when I said Sanches would be a flop. Feel like they pinned their hopes on him living up to the hype. Had the Swans had one quality creative centre mid, I feel their season would have been quite different.Quote:
