I listen to a couple of podcasts with Elis James, a comedian and avid Swansea fan. Despite his allegiance, I really like him. However recently, he has made the point about the so called "Swansea Way". Now, in terms of the style of football they play I would have said this is a relatively recent thing, but James labours the point that this so called attractive keep ball style dates back to the fifties, and is something that Swansea fans demand. They would put this "philosophy" over league position and trophies. Now, when Cooper left Swansea, despite leading them to the play offs twice, it suited the Jacks narrative that this was down to them demanding their so called "way". At the time, however, the general thought was he had left due to foreseeing issues in terms of transfers that coming summer. If that was the case, I don't think he would have come anywhere near us if the chance had arisen.
