Was Grimes playing the way the managers wanted? I can only assume so otherwise he would have been dropped.
Could he do a job further forward even as a number 10? Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't matter he's part of our past, not our future.
O'Brien and Franco are doing a fantastic job where it really matters. We need to be offering Franco an improved contract now. O'Brien I believe is out of our price bracket and replacing him will not be easy as he is proven at this level. |

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. |

A fair comment.
The players you mentioned have been driving me potty. At times I've questioned their ability whilst also questioning whether we were playing to their strengths or playing in a way that could play to anyone's strengths.
We'll see how things work out with Sheehan but he appears to have far more of an idea of how to use the players at his disposal. |

Would he be able to play fast counter attacking football here with this squad?
This season is now all about survival |

Makes sense especially because for some reason I had it in my head that Notts County were league 1 even though I knew Williams was managing them in league 2. 🤦♂️
Montague's role seems conflicted if he still has his role at Football Radar or am I missing something else. |

Only problem with that idea is that it would result in us buying in the same shops as Notts County. I can't see the Reedtz brothers allowing us access to Football Radar if we are in the same division as them.
Access to Football Radar seems to be what Coleman has been after with Montague. |

The Swiss Rambler wrote that in season 22/23 Bournemouth had an £100 million improvement from a loss of £56 million the year before to a profit of £44 million. The majority of that was due to a write off of £71 million in shareholder loans.
I don't know if P&S rules have changed since then, but only rich shareholders (owners) can afford to write off £71 million.
There's obviously more to their success than just money, for example smart recruitment and sales, but being able to write off £71 million in loans wouldn't have hurt. |

According to the club website:
His role will focus on organisational structure and management at the club across a range of departments, helping to shape and build a high-performance culture, as well as supporting chairman Andy Coleman in delivering on his vision for Swansea City.
If that's his role then he is another failure who is probably being well paid for it. |

Sums up what is wrong with the club.
The chairman is so out of his depth in charge of a professional football club in the UK and the manager is out of his depth tactically and preparing the team.
The manager needs to go and has needed to go for a while. The chairman needs to stand back, take a long hard look in the mirror and take advice from people who know what they are doing.
With this perfect storm we will be lucky to stay up unless major decisions are taken quickly. The problem is that prospective managers and their agents will know that the club is a basket case run by someone who would be out of his depth in a puddle. |

On a quick scan I read the title as Lack of recruitment strategy. Maybe my quick scan was right |

I get the impression that he isn't fond of you guys. Surely you aren't asking him questions that he doesn't want to answer?
I thought that he wanted to be transparent. |
