Steve Kaplan the main Swansea decision maker on 23:14 - Mar 14 by max936
He'll be here next season if we go down as well, he Martin says there's loads of work to do in the summer with lots coming in and a few going out, League One is the future,
We get relegated this year and continue to fall. Why he c@not be sacked is very sinister
Steve Kaplan the main Swansea decision maker on 08:23 - Mar 15 by Dr_Parnassus
But it clearly wasn’t, and still isn’t.
We need someone to replace him.
There are loads of options available to replace him. Most managers that come in are external. There are plenty to choose from. Most couldn't do any worse

IMO it is an excellent time to change the manager. After Sunday we have the international break for the new person to put his ideas into place. Then 8 games until the end of the season to assess the squad and what is required. After that a full summer to set up for next season. A perfect time.

Name one
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Name one
Frank de Boer, Marsch, Arveladze just three familiar names from over 100 unattached managers with career points averages of 1.5 per game. And, I'm sure Osian Roberts would be a good option.

De Boer has been sacked 3 times in 4 years. Palace saw enough after 5 games.
Averladze was manager of Hull in the Championship who averaged 1.10 points per game. Including a 3-0 loss to us.
Marsch averages 0.90 points per game in English football and commands a salary in the millions. Can you imagine the uproar of them appointing an American manager?
This is why it’s best to wait.

Like who?
We will be offering someone in the region of £10k a week and the opportunity to manage a team on the Championship with a reasonable budget. The queue will be out the door, down the street and around the corner. There are loads of people with management aspirations who would jump at the chance.

We don’t really want people with “managerial aspirations” though.
We want someone who can take this by the scruff of the neck and push this club forward. I don’t think we will be after another rookie.
Our next appointment is vital and can’t see it being another gamble or punt on someone untested.
I’m yet to see a name that I think would come for the remaining 9 games that would be worth causing disruption over. As bad as Russ is, I fully expect him to beat Huddersfield at our place and pick up a draw in one of the other 8 games.

It is not often that I disagree with you Doc, but I do over this. A new Manager should always have the opportunity to see his new squad players playing competitive football if they can as early as possible. It is more enlightening than summer training & "friendlies"

If there is one who is available who wants to come here then great.
My point is that it’s unlikely our long term manager just so happens to be ready to come in this situation and drop the project he’s on.
This next manager needs some serious thinking about. No point in rushing us into a corner when we are probably safe anyway and then being stuck with another manager who doesn’t fit the bill long term.
The names people are throwing about is desperation stuff. That’s not the type of decision I want made.

The clown Kaplan was at the liberty today? Few things going on is the line......not a clue what though.
Without that "clown" we wouldnt have a football club
Some folks need to wake up and smell the coffee
Yes they have no emotional attachment as we fans do to the club but they have a huge financial interest....loading the club with debt is not of any use to anyone so they are trying to run things prudently....this upsets the fan base as it wants to see players being bought
Do the maths how much money does the club bring in in revenue....this is going to be well down this season should all the talk of non renewals of season tickets to be believed.
The whole country is in a cost of living crisis and all of us are suffering from huge increases in energy costs.......think the cost of the floodlights alone at the stadium ....without the costs of cooking etc and that is everyday at Fairwood.
Maybe he is looking at our current finances and discussing strategy with CEO.
Im no real fan of of our ownership but they are what we have and on the face of it appear to be running us on a sound financial footing.....unusual for most football clubs I know but without them where would we be I keep saying it they werent queuing around the block to buy us when this mob did from the sellouts

I disagree in a way vetch as I too believe we are run by clowns . Incredible they are successful businessmen as they lack foresight at a staggering level as regards the football business. The January window should have seen us sack him and his putrid assistants .
The loss of revenue with relegation will be significant .
Martin shows no urgency and is complacent,as do the owners .

So without Steve Kaplan, we would have no football club!?
