PREM: Swansea City will appoint Paul Clement as their new manager https://t.co/tLItpJidhu

I don't foresee him giving them such a short term boost so they can stay up. Think he is more in line with what you'd expect a Swansea manager to be (focus on possession, European coaching experience) however, so my answer is the Jacks starting to plan for next year early.
If you ask me another disaster waiting to happen. Good coach, not a manager.
Very harshly sacked by Derby imo. Seems like the Jacks are going back to the type of manager that got them up to the Prem. Looks like they're planning for the Championship. With the increased parachute payments, they'll be big hitters next season and should at least get in the play offs. Think they would have went for someone like Pardew if they had any ambition of staying up this season.
Have to agree there based on his past track record although as someone said he was harshly treated by Derby. I heard a suggestion from a Derby fan that the basis for the sacking was allegedly not entirely football related. However, even if he does turn out to be a top guy then by the time he gets to grips with the team, it may be too late to save them. Based on previous seasons they look to need 26/28 points from 19 games.
I am not so sure they will be. They have splashed the cash on salaries and i believe have one of the highest percentage salary to income in the premier league. For all the gems they unearth they find some dogs as well. We know how hard it is to shift those sort of players. Will Llorente and Borgia fancy the championship, their resale value has plummeted, so they'll have to take a massive loss and pay them off.
This aspect of the game has become a merry-go-round.
It would be a real feat for him to save them from the drop now.
I suspect the Swans will be quite some force in the Championship next season, but look forward to tipping up their cart a couple of times.
Happy 2017
I can't recall a Premier League side having four managers in one season, but could be wrong?
Clement will be gone by Easter, they will be lucky to take 10 points from the next 10 games and the crowd will turn on him as quickly as they did on Bradley!
Knowing what a toxic atmosphere is surrounding the club, I don't see how Clement thinks he will be able to enhance his reputation, by failing there and fail he will
The fans have been well and truly F***ed over and worse than that it was by their own local heroes including their self proclaimed model trust board member if you believe all the things that are currently being written about?
They used to boast that they ran Petty out of town, which was laughable considering what this lot have done to them they've bent over and been shafted and thanked the board for shafting them
Clement must be a very brave man, desperate for any job or has calculated that he will end up with a big pay off for a couple of months work
Petty wasn't 'run out' he lived in Australia and was just a chancer making a quick buck.
However with Palace losing and only having a very short recovery period before Monday it might work in Swanseas favour and a win against the Nigel's will make the table look a bit less disastrous for them
They claimed they ran Petty out of town although they never let facts get in the way of a good story down there!
One day the real truth on what has been happening down there will come out, not that it will make much difference as most of them will have gone back to supporting Liverpool or Manure by then
The way there playing at the moment even the stripey Nigel's will put 2-3 past them on Wednesday night
He's got an almost impossible task. Almost.
I would have thought that if Premiership survival is entirely what is expected of him, then that will be reflected in the contract he gets.
Either that, or they will take stock of where they are, and refrain from sacking him if there are promising signs. That would be the sensible approach. So it wont be that .. :rolleyes:
