Saved an enormous amount on whatever we offered to someone like Bielsa to come here is what I was referring to. |
I thought the same thing the other day... Give 'Bielsa's' 40k a week to a striker instead. I just don't think the board see it that way. |  | | |

Out of interest if we did go down how much valve would they lose on the shares? |
Can't put a figure on it but can you see any chance of a sale to an 'investor' | | | |

Signing new players may become difficult. They will know that a new manger will be joining at the end of season, and there is a risk that they may not feature within the new managers plan. [Post edited 7 Jan 2016 19:53]

I simply can't believe that we couldn't find a manager willing to take a job in the Premier League. Chances are we weren't offering enough money or a long enough contract. [Post edited 7 Jan 2016 19:24]

I think it boils down to the point mentioned by someone earlier about aiming for people that are way beyond our current situation and / or means.
I suspect that our board have just had their eyes opened a little to the fact that the rest of the footballing world isn't quite as taken by the whole 'Jack to a King' romance as they probably thought was the case. | | | |

To be fair the odds are stacked against us in terms of this type of appointment in the premier league |
Not really sure why you bother? |  |

I do. Board have looked at it, what's more important, new player or new manager. Expect a new striker now. |  |

Yes we are agreed, it is about hoping for success.
I think it's a position forced on the board, mainly for waiting too long instead of reacting to what we saw on the pitch. |
Look I'm not doubting the board's intentions - after all they have more to lose than anyone - however I'm just not sure it's the wisest move.
Best case scenario is that Curt keeps us up and Sambaoli/DeBoer/Rodgers/Emery come riding in during the summer and all this is a distant memory.
Worst case scenario is that we go down, huge squad overhaul, still no manager and what happens then is anyones guess | | | |

I wrote this in December on this thread
http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/forum/159860/2108867/who-do-yo
"Has anyone considered that it may be quite difficult to "get" a really good manager?
Here you have a club that has apparent problems with "Rifts" in the camp leading to very poor performances removing 2 managers in succession.
It is only 1 Point from the Relegation zone.
It also "suggests" that it has very little money to spend on Players in January.
It is run by a very controlling CEO.
Would you want the job?
It is going to take a very strong manager with lot's of confidence, people skills, financial skills, lot's of contacts, on top of Coaching, Tactics etc and a big pair of brass ones."
Not far off was it? | | | |

I would have left it until after the next two home games to make the announcement, as I think this will put extra pressure on Curt that might lead to a blip. In any event he has my support. Anything will be a gamble at this stage, and the alternatives didn't look great to me. The thing now is that we must try to support Curt in the window with at least one serious signing up front. |
Can't see a big signing for Curt, because the new manager appointed in the summer would have to live with someone he didn't want.
It'll be a loan until the end of the season at best and make full use of every member of the squad. |  |

I don't believe we were offering a five month contract either.
More likely to have been an 18 month contract with relegation terms no human being would have accepted.
"Here we go Mr Bielsa here's an 18 month contract at £40k a week but if we get relegated in May you can stay on in the Championship for that final year for five bob a week and a horse shit sandwich"

This thread's negativity (some of it clearly gleeful) from so-called fans is profoundly worse than Shelvey being occasionally lazy, Taylor passing backwards and and Gomis falling over.
I hope there's a player's forum where they are slagging off some of the posters on this thread for not doing OUR job. |  |

I agree with you. I wasn't suggesting anything of the sort. |
Sorry. Didn't mean to suggest you were suggesting it. Just that I'm glad the board didn't panic and simply started flashing the cash about.
At least we know where we are now and can knuckle down, hopefully, and get on with it. |  |

Sky Sports News is parading every club in the January Transfer Window with potential in's and outs bar ourselves. The only time we have been mentioned is when the reporter mentioned about going to see what Watford are up to and he accidentally clicked on us and page was blank. |
Doesn't really mean anything though in fairness, but my belief is that we'll see very little coming in, well no one of quality anyway, it'll be one of two loanee's of no real note. |  |

So you post an extreme figure, unless you know what was offered
What I think of what the board has done doesn't cloud my judgement that clauses would have had to be put in if we were relegated.
There's been enough posts that players should have it in contracts so why not a manager | | | |

This is a forum for debate and opinion.
Inside the stadium is different and the whole club need our support then, more than ever. Criticising supporters for having a view? Crazy | | | |

I figured as much, and where there are misgivings about the lack of experience. If this is our standard the last few matches and we bring in a goal scorer up front, I don't see why we need to fear the drop.
Of course if we don't bring anything in, and expect to just keep on keeping on... its going to be a very stressful rest of the season.
Though I for one am behind Curtis. But I do hope we get someone in worth the wait in the summer. |  |

I have thoughts about how things have panned out, but I do believe that no experienced manager, still with a career to think about, would have jumped at the job. A last position for someone coming to the end of their career maybe |

Wing and a prayer.
We can all pick names out of the air, but I don't think we represent a 'good call' for many of the managers that we might want.
I hope the gamble we take is strengthening on the pitch, even though I can only see loan players coming in | | | |
