Always thought he was a duff appointment.

[splott parker]

Perhaps he’ll go back to the fight game.

i thought he was taking the mick tbh

D'oh!

Warnock waiting in the wings!

They're his kind of people.

Understandable
They’ve given him quite a bit of cash
He’s been backed and to lose to Cardiff is unforgivable down there.

The ‘Swansea Way’ will be their ultimate undoing hopefully. I have absolutely no idea what it means but I believe it’s based on Dutch total football of the 70s

How they expect this with Signings from league 1 is perhaps a little over ambitious

They are only 2 results from the top half of the table which is where both our squads probably line up in the grand scheme of things

To sack him is a bit premature unless they have someone lined up who believes in possession beyond all else which their fans were calling boring last season

Strange bunch

[Armitage Shanks]

I predict Steve Bruce.
Nathan Jones won't go there.
Would be amusing if Steve Morrison did

I listen to Call Rob on Radio Wales and the general feel I get is that they don't like him because he doesn't play the Swansea way. His comment about being happy to lose the derby if they won promotion went down quicker than a Swansea step-sister and he's been a dead man walking from the start.

That was one of the dumbest comments I've heard from a manager. We didn't (and don't) have a squad anywhere near good enough for promotion, there was no style of play and we have soft tissue injuries galore.

The little purple patch from the Sheffield Wednesday game papered over the cracks; they hit the bar at 1 nil and had he not won that game he'd probably have had his marching orders thwny

What is the “Swansea Way” anyway . Ok it was a style of football that brought them success but most teams play this way these days and total football was first coined with the Dutch in the 70’s.

You would almost think it was them who blueprinted it

Its a pejorative term really. You could argue that we only really played flowing football under Martinez, Rodgers, Laudrup and Potter. The rest has been a bit meh. The overarching points for me were no defined style of play, a complete inability to communicate properly, the alleged 1970s training (evidenced by a plethora of soft tissue injuries), the fact that he was commuting from Cheltenham and yes, his comment about the SWD were unacceptable, not just because of the magnitude of the derby but the fact that he was that deluded to talk about promotion, we have a squad nowhere near good enough for promotion!

I doubt the 70’s training methods would have resulted in more players getting injured though otherwise Barnsley would have been suffering from the same kind of injuries, and from what I’ve heard they were fairly consistent with the playing squad and had the same issues with injuries as other clubs.

If it was a factor though, that’s the fault of the Swansea board.

The Swansea way ….. they are not 1970's St Etienne

If they hadn’t got that late equaliser v Huddersfield they’d be a place off the relegation zone, shocking home form, no clear style anymore, got to get the next manager right or they might go down.

You've articulated that point far better than me and my webbed hands

Swansea City have played nice football since toshack arrived

That's very romantic

But it very often doesn't get them the results they think they deserve

So they throw their toys out of the pram very quickly on the other side of the Briton Ferry bridge

I say bollocks to them
