We cannot afford a player who only contributes 20-30 minutes a match. Watch him during highlights he looks a hell of a player, watch him for an entire game and the number of mistakes and misjudgements he makes are quite astounding. Leave well alone from me. |

The amount of work that must have gone into putting this rescue mission together you would have to be daft not to think increasing revenue and reviewing running costs have not been discussed at great length already. I would not expect too many announcements now until the new year. |

Looking through the profiles of the new blood our chairman seems to have surrounded himself with some young, successful and dynamic characters - so much work must have been done behind the scenes to pull it all together. I have the utmost respect for AC assembling an executive team that should give us confidence for a steady future. |

What is it about social media that people think they are entitled to an opinion on something they have not even taken the time to read properly; not a lot of words to get through!!
£20 million into the club. This new funding provides the club an important foundation of stability, will cover the operating costs of the club for the foreseeable future, and enable strategic investments in the first team.
Give me strength. |

I have been one of those who have criticised Coleman from the outset, as seeming to be way out of his depth. However today I have a great respect for his fortitude and endeavour in pulling this rescue plan together (and to me it is foremost a rescue plan rather than an investment opportunity.) His patience and perseverance are to be much admired. One more thing - I think the fan base should push the £20m to one side for the moment, because more important than that is to get the overall vibe within the club and on the field back on an equilibrium. 25 years ago, I was in Mr Coleman's shoes and I know how important it is to build on a solid foundation that does not rely entirely on being fed bundles of money. |

No he won't - not without a bloody good striking coach grabbing him by the ears. His goal was superb, his lob that the keeper only just saved even better, but no Championship team can afford a player who wanders around aimlessly in his own world, especially a striker. If we can get half the money we paid for him, take the money and run. |

So that's how it works is it? One split second mistake and you've written him off-Swans supporter classic understanding of the game summed up in an instant.*
*mistake is the wrong word, it was a brain freeze as he weighed up his options it happens all the time with players on the touchline, looks a hundreds time worse in the area. If you don't think we've got a gem fair enough crack on. |

I think you should look at that goal again and look at our number 9 who people still thinks has a future - amazingly, yet again, just that one yard off the pace. P-H's "3 yarder" was something James Vardy or Haaland would have been proud of. You were obviuosly not at the stadium this week because Peart-Harris made the most exciting direct run down the middle beating 5/6 of the opposition. I have not seen the like in a Swans shirt the last 10 years (Andre Ayew, not quite, but the nearest I can think of.) |

We can get by without a new striker. Give Peart-Harris and Bianchi a few games and they will start to rip the Championship apart. We have the incredibly talented Emo to return to the field with several injured players to return to the fold by January. Work with what we have got, even keep Vipo on the bench for when we have to protect a lead in the last 15 minutes to defend corners and free kicks, just keep him this side of the halfway line. |

Well done for posting that although as a massive admirer of our captain, I see nothing different in his performances over the last 3 years. He is a class act, and fa's the respect of his team mates, which should be any captain's priority. |

I think the playing staff knew about the changes at the top, there has bee
been such a positive vibe about the last 2 games I would be more surprised than not if the 2 were not all tied within the next few weeks. |

I sensed a new positive vibe about our play against Oxford, continuing against Watford I've a strong feeling that the core of the playing staff knew this was in the pipeline and a new deal for Ben and Harry could well be on its way. |

A real conundrum. When the CE and his team saw the revenue figures for the catering outlets last night their eyes must have watered. Let's try and build on this positivity. The number of negative posters on here who completely wrote off Peart-Harris and Bianchi is a fine example; there is no way you could watch those two last night and not be impressed. Our goalie was superb last night, Key is beginning to look like the bargain of the decade. So many positive performances. Kyle struggled at times, Vipo is beyond poor and powder puff weak - a big girl's blouse when anything physical is needed. Start with Bianchi up front and good things are possible. And an up arrow for Liam who put in a hell of shift last night. |

The 8,000 who turned up last night created a positive atmosphere to which the team responded. Without the "Grimes only passes sideways" gang missing, without the "this is the weakest squad we have had in over a 100 years," back at home on their sofas made a big difference. The food concourses were empty because the 8k came to watch a game of football, not moan about the food and everyting elses around them. It would probably be a good thing if we played the rest of the season in front of poor crowds. Poor but positive, |

Well up for it? Well he spent the entirety of the last match hiding behind their central defenders, goodness knows what he's like when he's not up for it! Oh well he might well be a different player tonight. |

Looking around the stadium against Millwall I'd be surprised if the "true" attendance was much more than 10,000 - empty seats absolutely everywhere. |
