Why hasn't Steve Cooper been formally announced yet ?
I'm not particularly over the moon if it is him mind. Seems a too careful appointment to me  |  | | |  |

American consortium have to agree the appointment and are, apparently, not at all impressed. |  |

Well hopefully the Yanks have spoken to Leon and Curt direct and they have told them this is a crock of shit appointment and let’s get a Manager in with experience of looking after a senior professional side . Our side needs a strong experienced guiding hand given what is in front of us this season . Arguably our most potent attacking player has been sold in James and there is a real likelihood that one at least of Grimes , Rodon, Roberts or Mc Burnie will follow to plug the financial hole.Little mention is made of new blood coming in as there will be none of any real quality. Gents this is a season to consolidate , any other aspirations are seriously delusional . You cannot roll the dice on a novice appointment in this league with this squad | | | |

Maybe you're right, maybe not. This guy could be the next gem for all we know, or he could be a flop. I'd 100% back the views of Birch/Curt/Leon over the Americans though. | | | |

'England under-17s boss Steve Cooper is the current front-runner for the job, but his appointment will now likely rest on the opinions of Swansea’s American owners, who may yet decide that the Pontypridd-born coach doesn’t have the necessary experience needed to take the club forward.'
Apologies Should have written, 'reportedly'. | |

I was under the impression it was more to do with Cooper and the english FA. | | | |

Reporting about Cooper in the The Guardian
'Trevor Birch, the Swansea chairman, Leon Britton, who was recently appointed as the football adviser to the board of directors, and Alan Curtis, the club president, were involved in an interview process that culminated with a conference call to Swansea’s American owners.'
As there has been no approval I suspect either,
the American Group are doing they homework and not rubber stamping the appointment of someone they have never heard of
or
Swansea are negotiating with Mike Marsh and Huddersfield (although why this pairing has been suggested is a little random - anyone got some background on these two having some connections?0 | |

Why would we suddenly think the yanks are doing due diligence in terms of appointments ?
They’ve got almost every decision wrong since being here, and why are suddenly worried about the latest acquisition. While not giving a fook when Huw was. Reckless in spending so much on Ayew Bony and Borja ?
That was the time to be thinking over details !!
It’s all a bit late now like...
As for cooper, just don’t have anything to say about him other than him being a huge gamble. |  | | |

The same Americans who appointed Bradley in 2017.
They are probably best kept out of the selection process. | | | |

If they decide to go against Birch that wouldn't go down too well [Post edited 11 Jun 2019 15:13]

I see the US consortium are being blamed for every wrong decision.
I doubt Bradley or any of the other players or managers were their choice as they have been arms length on the playing side of things.
More. likely Jenkins trying to get in their good books.
It appears they are being more involved recently, after local management wasn't up to the job and their focus on DC United is allowing more time to concentrate on us and their main company work. | |

Wtf would they know.
The evidence is that we have been on a downhill road the fvckers took control.
Why cant they leave footballing decisions to the people with experience. | | | |

I thought Mike Marsh was also a Coach of the England Under 17's. Ex Liverpool player. I think he used to be with Huddersfield. I could be wrong though, perhaps he is still with them. | | | |

The Americans wanted Bradley in Autumn 2017.
Giggs was wanted by Jenkins. | | | |

Ultimately as owners all wrong decisions can be traced back to them.
It tells you something when they are not even over when we are looking for a manager! |  |

If they came over I guarantee most you would be fuming about them sticking their noses in, probably giving us another Bob Bradley, and asking why Trevor Birch is getting paid a fortune (and shares) to have someone else do his job for him. | | | |

They really shouldn’t have anything to do with it. They should set a budget, short and medium term goals and allow Birch, Britton and Curtis to appoint. It’s not their forte as we have seen in the past. | | | |

If it looks like it might fall through, everyone will want him, and it’ll be their fault we didn’t get a manager with huge potential
It’s the way we roll. I’d be disconcerted if it changed, because then, we wouldn’t be us, we would be not us. |  |

When G.P. left for Brighton he took a management support team with him. Now that Steve Cooper has been selected he will need to assemble his own support team. This involves those he wants agreeing to come (and this involves families) , then their release from their current job has to be negotiated. Finally terms and conditions for their position at Swansea have to be agreed and contracted. It cannot be done overnight. | | | |

Interesting. Not a bad pairing on paper. | | | |
