its morning here, and I've decided to go ahead and plunge some bourbon into the coffee... I will console myself in the belief we are just saving up the karma for a shock win next weekend... and the bourbon obviously.

too early for the blame game yet ..

but bradley had a better debut against Arsenal .. away

and Guidolin had set us up not to be steamrollered by these teams and show a bit of bite on the break

maybe Guidolin was making the best with what he had ..

Curtis 1 win from 2 matches probably looking to be our most successful manager this season


Sacking Guidolin was an act of monumental fûcking stupidity.

Well the Hull manager is doing alright with a rubbish group of players and he is only two games in.

Who would have thought that the man with extensive experience and success as a manager is out performing the man with who was sacked from his one job as a manager and has been an assistant manager unable to get a Premier League job for years before we came begging.


As I say, judging any manager this early on is naive. Silva could lose the next few games at Hull for all we know, and then the story will have changed. It's far too early to say.

And the way we did it means we deserve to go down imo.

I'm not ready to judge Silva based off a Hull win over Bournemouth. I think it's very likely they can stay up, but that might be more down to how poor us, Sunderland, and Palace are more than how quality of a side Hull is.

From 1 to 11 the players are division 1 standard. This is an example of 2 years under development in a business. As a result revenues will drop. Very poor example of a business model run by conk nose


Laudrup was telling us this 2 yrs ago.

Huw thought he knew better and plenty of fans were happy to side with him . Most sensible people could see how our path would go. Monk and his clique,monk the pet manager of huw, huw s lucky dip signings, club coffers being inflated to get ready for sale, quick sale to yanks,yank consultants,yank manager followed by a quick re dress and relegation from the top table.

The most staggering mis management of a business ever seen,all that needed to happen was a steady hand and sound investment as and when needed .

No wonder tutu wanted to give Jenkins a slap.

Pray for a miracle guys but the show is pretty much over.

Agree with you there Dwight.


Not convinced.

Can be a cancer in the dressing room - in a side woefully short of confidence, would he boost that or piss so many people off it gets even worse?

I'd say you need to get an organiser in at CB. A no nonsense ball winning midfielder in. Get that spine of the team sorted. Work at becoming difficult to score against, shore the defence up first.

EDIT: What's most important though is getting the confidence of the players you have back. Some of your players you may not rate, get them to overperform you should be ok.
It's not going to get resolved in one, two games though.

He would be the leader we desperately need. Reading a few brief reports from Turf Moor, he was great today in their win against Southampton too.

No offence but you think he'd have returned?

Celtic - far easier job. At most two tricky domestic league games. Deep cup runs. Permanently qualify for europe. More money.

Swansea - keep you up in a relegation battle.

Good manager can command respect straight away and give the side a lift just by their presence and personality. We haven't got the time for a rookie manager who's going to take 6 months to work out how and who we should play.


Too early to judge Clement for sure but 2 games played, no goals scored and six conceded couldn't possibly have been a worse start. Just hope we haven't missed a trick with this Hull fella, early days but an instant impact and 2 wins from 2 with a thin, weak squad is hugely impressive.

Would he? Would he motivate or would there be another training ground fight, like at Rangers?

At 34, would he play the entire season? Doubtful, his legs are going. Might raise himself for the odd game but consistently? Let's not forget he's not been in the Prem for a few seasons too.

Again, the damage Bobo the clown did isn't going to get resolved in two games.

From what I saw, there were promising signs first half. Second half, some bad luck and Arsenal going into another gear. It's not going to be easy but you're one point off safety.

Of course it is all iffs and buts. But today he dragged Burnley to a huge win.

I'd have brought him in and given him the armband whenever he played. If he wants to tell Naughton or anyone else to fu*k off and threaten him every time he chickens out of a challenge then great. It is what we need.

Players can make cowardly decisions all game with no repercussions because there is nobody on the pitch to hold them accountable.

He's only been in the job for 2 games, one of which was a cup game we didn't want to be in.

Anyone can see how much better we were today, when compared to Bob's reign. The team had shape and we actually created chances.

Conceding 2 own goals is a nightmare but there's a lot of work to be done. Especially when it comes to the defence, and providing support to the strikers.

Paul should have been in from the start, or Guidolin shouldn't have been sacked. It was clear how out of his depth he was, and that will take time to fix.

So lets get behind the team, instead of being negative Nancys all the time.

I have no problem with the manager and player's having ambition. The american's when they came in said that they don't want want players who see us as a stepping stone to bigger clubs, which is an incredibly stupid thing to say. If a player or manager is content to spend their entire career at swansea with no ambition then they are the wrong peple to have.
