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?
