Serious question, Is he under any pressure to keep his job from inside the club?
I mean, I thought Coleman's program notes talked about 3 huge games, fluked Bristol, but performances have continued to decline.
I don't understand how he can possibly continue. It's clear he can't and won't change.
For the club, it's going one way, and no change will mean more walking away, less ST, less sponsors and more damage, and League 1. |

My concern for a while with the style RM wants to play coupled with the squad and owners we've got is we'll never have a squad which is strong enough or adaptive enough or experienced enough for this style to be successful at Swansea.
He has a determination in his beliefs - which is admirable, but it feels we're in a stalemate situation, going nowhere.
Repeating the same match scenario's offensively and defensively shouldn't be acceptable - by the players or the manager, but it keeps on happening, so who is going change to solve it ? Its a collective responsibility, but crucially means some sort of change - which isn't happening from the manager perspective or player performance.
The squad is what it is....yes we should have strengthened, but we didn't / couldn't in Jan, yet Patterson is our player who has an attitude, and ultimately we've not moved him on, yet not looking to bring him back in to help the squad up. That's down to RM and JP to sort out. How would it look like to draw a line, tell him there's 3 months left for JP to get back out there with the squad, if he deserves his turn, then he can impact what happens next to him.
Can't understand why Whittaker doesn't get more time on the pitch.....again, this seems like a RM stance all over it. The kid came back having scored goals, and we've managed to drain any confidence out of him.
The owenship doesn't seem to be changing, and I wonder how far RM philosophy can really take him. Unless he adapts, then I suspect he'll be a manager that talks a great game, picks out a few beauty stats such as possession and squad age, but progression ?
What happens next is probably nothing, but christ it's frustrating. |

Thread | Best way to welcome Cooper back ?

Shout long and Loud 'Russell Martin's Barmy army'
End of. Won't waste energy on Cooper, he drained so much while he was here.
If you analyse his time, he made Liverpool a fortune out of Brewster, Chelsea on MG, gave Newcastles squad keeper 2 seasons of 1st team football, and gave Connor Gallagher a shop window.
Also, he was luck to have Ayew at his disposal.
Yes, he took Swans to the Play Offs, but what impact did he have on the Swans as a club ? Developing players ? promoting academy ?
Plus his football was boring to watch, even if effective at times. |
