Is Williams not being sacked?
Further cost cutting ahead affecting the players such as no.more catering at Fairwood?
Restructure of bonus payments?
Where will it end? |  |

It tells us the club captain detests ( my word) Williams but he didn’t have the balls to stand up to him and support his teammates
A horrific captain
Our worst ever
Most overrated player too ( ( sorry MG) | |

Or he was just sick of standing in for a sub standard manager who can’t coach a team before or at half time , taking responsibility that a manager should take but is inadequate to do so. |  |

It tells me that he knows that the club is a total shambles and is desperate to get his arse out of dodge.
I think the Williams situation is small potatoes in comparison, maybe that's why Williams was hoping that the WBA rumour was true because he could see that the walls were starting to crumble, there's more to come far more in my opinion, sadly.
Why is Coleman having to take on so many roles, probably because he's got little option. |  |

Does it indicate then Williams is staying?
Has Coleman told him so?
But whatever the club is in a mess and just changing the manager won't fix it....but it's time for him to go | |

Youre probably right there
I just hope we have a plan
It would be a first | |

For all his alleged misdemeanours he was a great captain off the pitch, his communication was lost though when it really mattered. Darling will get the armband. | |

Nope. But even if his agent is putting the feelers out and advertising his clients services, that doesn't necessarily mean he's put in a transfer request which is a formal process within a club and often leads to breaking clauses in player contracts with regards to "loyalty bonuses". | | | |

It tells us that all the stories about Grimes being "content" in Swansea, or "loyal" to the club are based in fiction rather than fact.
Truth is he'd have been out of here like a shot if any better offer had ever had been made. It's frankly laughable that it's taken a decade of his acolytes declaring that he's irreplaceable, one of the best midfielders in the division, etc, etc before anyone did, and the ones who have are hardly a divisional heavyweight.
In any other circumstances I'd be eagerly anticipating his departure. Unfortunately Coventry's offer catches us at a weak point. We do desperately need to get shot of him, but we do need to get shot of our manager first. I'm not sure that the Chairman is up to the job of replacing both at the same time.

Seems to me…Grimes isn’t happy with management…found out management are staying…doesn’t want to be part of it…simple 🤷♂️ |  |

Why darling getting the armband if he's leaving in the summer? | | | |

(a) he's out most natural leader remaining in the squad, even if that is only for 4 months.
(b) It may show him how much he's valued and being a captain (with another increase on wages) may help persuade him to stay? | | | |

I said it months and months ago even longer than that even that Darling should be captain, replies were that he was perhaps to erratic falls over to easily makes mistakes etc.
Thing is all players make mistakes and I think Darling has improved in those areas of concern for the most part, he's definitely a captain in waiting. | |

Just pay him Grimes wages and make him captain we will not go down. This could be a blessing in disguise. |  | | |

Grimes’s transfer request confirms that the lack of ambition has finally filtered through to the most placid of captains & players. There will be more want away players lining up moves via their agents. |  | | |

So if Grimes goes what happens in the midfield and the defence? It would seem that the attempt to have Tymon and Key drive into midfield from the wingers just hasn't worked as both have ended up going down blind alleys which in its self wouldn't be a problem they had dragged opposition players but not having suitable support to lay the ball of neatly to the pivot the midfield because he is not there, he is sitting too deep and players being on the wrong foot to get the ball forward effectively they dwell on the ball too long, similarly Cullen asked to come deep ends up so with our fullback and winger as a close triangle again drawing opposition players in leaving space in the middle but again the no sign of Grimes. It leads to players trying to make something out of an impossible situation.
In the past we have seen the likes of Ntcham and Celina drop deep taking too many touches with them facing the goalie and getting caught on the ball, it looked as if Bianchini had got it right when coming deep laying the ball off neatly with one touch and yet he got caught out on the touchline facing our goal, the ball back to Tymon wasn't on, we would be able to get the ball down the line to the winger because he was facing our goals the only option would be infeld but again no one was there so no nice neat triangles were available you could say maybe Franco was at fault for not coming across to fill the gap amd Pearl-Harris could drop in to cover Franco but we are digging holes or more making holes for ourselves.
Shapeless at time but we will be OK we have Fulton he will bloom as never before released from the shackles of trying to play like or with Grimes which he cannot and looks very much like a poor midfielder when he does try to emulate, instead of a dynamic forward thinking ball winning midfielder once he learned how to mark properly although I think it is too late from him.
Hope we get some fresh blood into the midfield time to have players all round the pitch taught how to mark players, know how to put press on the ball reciever and how ensure cover when needed working as a team not as individuals. | | | |

you could be right Eagle eye, but i for one wish him well he has been an ever presant for seasons not what i would call great but ok, some people did not like the way he played some do but if a bigger payday comes along who would not take it? thank you matt and best of luck
the problem now is who is going to take the resposability of sorting the way we go forwards? if what we all have been reading is correct and our chairman is doing if not all but most of it then the trap door becons sorry to say unless he pulls 3 or 4 rabbits out of his hat only a few days left to do so gain some credability and bring the fans back as at the moment they are leaving in droves | | | |
