Yap Yap here’s another Swansea City excuse ! Monday, 8th Apr 2024 08:00 by Keith Haynes The Swans wheeled out another player after the hopeless effort put in over the past few weeks, this time at Middlesbrough. Now it’s one of the better performers in the squad,Harry Darling. You have to give the club credit, they clearly don’t rate the intelligence of the Swansea City fan base. If you look back over this season we have seen ten apologetic reports from players after poor performances. In recent weeks it’s been embarrassing. If Swansea City genuinely think anyone is buying this nonsense time after time then they’ve completely lost the plot. This season has finally crumbled around the planning of Chairman, Andrew Coleman. He who bought his way into the club but no details have been released, nor of the account (LLC) in the USA. This is where we suspect his money has gone along with others. In to an account nobody knows anything about. And we will continue to say it, nobody is aware of the funds finances, who is in it, what it’s for, or indeed what Coleman put in. You can’t surely be transparent if your investment is hidden away in a foreign country and they refuse to talk about it. So, coupled with that, the yap, yapping of the head honcho’s, the fans forum where the hard questions were rejected by the club before it started, and the complete mismanagement by this current set up is all we have from this season. And still our club isn’t free from the chains of relegation. That threat continues, of course nobody thinks it will happen, but we will refer you to the relegation season from the Premier League. Then just four points over two months would have sufficed for safety. It’s a bit similar to that. Wednesday nights game will see a low attendance, that’s a given, people are sick of paying good money out for the ridiculous effort we see from so called senior club players. Matt Grimes needs a wake up call, along with Jay Fulton. Swans fans in the main are pretty sick of the pair of them slowing down and negatively looking for the safe option. There’s plenty of others who can at least be more positive in a Swans shirt. Jerry Yates is another, again over the weekends games at Easter he looked way out of his depth. Harry Darling has mentioned yesterday they need to put in better chances for the forwards. How much better could Yates have had against QPR on Bank Holiday Monday ? Right in front of goal and his headed effort went further wide than he was from the oppositions keeper. Yates has had chance after chance, again at Middlesbrough he flopped on two occasions, it’s embarrassing for the fans to have this type of representation in a Swansea shirt. One goal in twenty appearances. Why does the head coach keep picking him ? Why this club decided to pay out over two million pounds (some say three) for a player who has only been at Rotherham United, Harrogate Town, Carlisle United, Swindon Town and Blackpool is mind boggling.Totally ill advised. And as we saw on Saturday Mykola Kukharevych has gone missing again.No explanations at all. And we know that his seventy minutes playing for the Ukrainian Olympic side hasn’t seen him injured. Just wait now for that to be the excuse now we’ve said it. Problem is, the Swans should never have released him if he was injured only three days before. Makes you wonder why they did ? And if the excuse for Mykola’s absence is injury I’m going to bet the Ukrainian FA will have something to say. Personally I couldn’t give a monkeys what any of the players say or think, it’s so repetitive it’s as boring as the football on offer. A long term friend and Swans fan said to me on the weekend on his way back from Middlesbrough, ‘I can’t do this, I’m bored to death just thinking about Wednesdays game’ And who can blame him ? Shelling out at least a hundred quid a week home and away (He lives in England) to watch this current set up fail time and time again. Luke Williams can be as angry as he likes, Harry Darling can say the same things as nine other team mates have said but it’s a lost effort. They are just words from overpaid football players who take as much as they can from the club and when their career is over they leave. Andre Ayew (below) is a prime example. Earning £320,000 a month before he left. And he did that for all his contract. The Swans made him a millionaire every three months, that’s four million pounds a year. That’s bonkers. We are not insinuating this current lot are on that type of money because they’re all not. However there’s a few taking home sixty grand a month. And some take home more. I’m not surprised they tediously go through the motions on a match day and then walk off the pitch with ever expanding pockets. They should be downright embarrassed by their professional competency. Whatever the result on Wednesday, or indeed on Saturday against Rotherham United those words words still echo around me, ‘I’m bored to death just thinking about Wednesday’ And I’ve listed the players who should be rear ended out of the squad. A total liability in a Swansea shirt. Underachieving, tedious, weak and hopeless most weeks. That’s the legacy Andrew Coleman is leaving on this season. A complete and utter embarrassing show of how not to run a football club when you’ve absolutely no experience whatsoever of doing so. We’ve all heard the yapping and clever talk, most Swansea fans just look bemused with the constant diatribe. As we’ve said before you can surround yourself with nodding dogs who just want to reinforce the indulgent party line, but it doesn’t change the conditions nor the outcome. Personally I’m just sick of hearing words, especially from the Chairman who actually talks a lot but never says anything - to scripted rubbish every time the team loses. It’s an utter nonsense, and yes, I’m bored as well. Just put your bloody boots on each and everyone one of you and man up. If this is the way you want to be remembered in your professional career at Swansea you may as well give up now. You’ve got in you, so do it !
