Let’s start with the ones who are way out of their depth.
Rob Page
Garry Monk.
The Swans need to be focussed and a proper manager who knows the Championship and has been successful is the only answer. Quit dreaming about idiots 👍 |  |

Best performance of the season was the first half against QPR and that was orchestrated by the chef and the kitman apparently.
At some point the players need to take a serious look at themselves and admit they are capable for a lot more than they’ve been showing regardless of who the manager is. |
To a point, but we saw every time Russy tried to play his style with a three man defence it was an absolute disaster, so I'm not entirely sure we should be blaming the players for it being just as bad when Williams does it as well.
Likewise, if the team are being sent out to maintain possession at all costs, or ordered not to take any kind of risks with the ball, even if in attacking positions, it's not their fault if we don't create much either. |  |

To me it sounds like it's Sheehan until the summer at least. |  |

"It's somebody who can help us be true to our identity, which I think is so important. I have never come across a club that has such a strong identity in terms of playing style."
This bit concerns me. No more possession for the sake of it merchants please. | |

I thought that our identity was possession with a purpose; players who were comfortable on the ball, could move it quickly to change the point of attack and drag the opposition out of shape. Always helped by a forward that could stick the ball in the back of the net.
Retaining possession is fine, but when it is done at a snails pace allowing the opposition to reset, waiting for a misplaced pass or turnover to spring a counter attack at pace it is a recipe for disaster. | | | |

I saw Jesse Marsch being interviewed earlier on CNN regarding Canada and the 51st state thing. He seemed very intelligent and well spoken, is he a good fit for us who knows but I can't see him giving ridiculous pressers. |  | | |

Our identity "was" posssession with a purpose. For most of the last four years it has been all about possession for the sake of possession, which the club needs to strongly move away from, not make similar noises about repeating. | |

The stats reports must demonstrate on running and movements. There must be a holistic playing style picture the analysts can determine and explain to Montague and Coleman. It is a Laudrup way Swansea want to develop. Ronald Parker Ginnelly should b never be static. |  |

All we need to do is move the ball forward quicker and stop playing the 90% safe ball. To create chances we need to take chances, this is what makes football exciting, last Saturday was a great start. | | | |

The 90% safe ball was killing us because the 10% unsafe passes were either to deep in our half or high up the park where with us not set up correctly to guard against counter attacks. | | | |

Reports coming out that Hibernian manager David Gray is now being considered for manager's job.
IMO, Sheehan has shown so far that he's up to the task. Why spend money on getting Hibs manager out of his contract if Sheehan shows over the 5 games he's been given to lead that he can do the job? With 3 games to go, and provided he keeps getting points, I would rather see Swans management keep their money in the bank until summer window when they can spend on new recruits. | | | |

Personally I think it would come down to if Sheehan wants the job long term. Previous he hasn't been keen although now he is prepared to discuss it. The last thing we want is him accepting it and regretting it. | | | |

My point that I was trying to make is that if Sheehan does well over these 5 games that he should be named interim for the remainder of the season, and there would be no need to hire a permanent manager til after the season. It appears that he's getting a good response from his team, and that the players support him, which is what Williams lacked as well as other reasons mainly Williams' prevarications.
Sheehan's done well to get 4 points out of 6. Is this 4 of 6 due to his skill and vision on how the team needs to play, or just a manager-change bounce? Can he keep getting points and climb the table, and if he does, is he then a suitable candidate for the permanent job after the season is over? | | | |

Another with limited experience. Offers us nothing that Sheehan doesn't already. | |

Why was Watson pilloried for an association with Nathan Jones yet Sheehan is not?. Sheehan was Jones's assistant manager for awhile at Luton Town presumably when Watson was there as well. | |

If memory serves me correctly, was it due to Watson's appearance in sitting with N. Jones at Cardiff Stadium during a boo-bird match? I don't think Sheehan was included in that setting, was he? I may not have all the info correct here, so please correct me if I'm wrong. | | | |

So Watson sat next to Jones at Cardiff away in September 2023 and again at Bournemouth in January 2024???
Didn't he say at the forum that Bournemouth was a coincidence? | | | |

I believe you're correct on both accounts. I don't recall Sheehan being present at either of these events. I think Watson got burned for the "coincidence" comment. | | | |

Haven’t read anything nor consider an ex colleague he seemingly has no links since Luton an issue. If Sheehan has any nouse which I believe he has he will talk and get information from any area he can. Sitting with Nathan Jones at a football match wasn’t the wisest move, but then we do have and have had some basic failings throughout the club in the last seven years.
This ranks well down that list. And suited an agenda at the time which basically had nothing to do with Watson leaving the club. | |

Has the inclusion of O'Brien in the starting eleven helped to make it look as if Sheehan management is better than his predecessor and helped us look so much more resilient through in the spine of the team?
The Stoke and Sheffield Wednesday games included O'Brien should never have been lost but were under William's would they have been under Sheehan?
Either way O'Brien in the midfield has made a big difference to the way we play and our setup defensively, will we be able to keep him or get in players of his needed quality in for next season? | | | |
