The problem is the 'Swansea Way' doesn't seem to be working at the moment so let's try and get safe then start again next season.


Some would say we haven't been playing the "Swansea way" and that is why we are in the sh*t.

Can't quote both.

Al Bundy and the Rev James. Totally agree. Swansea Way or Italian Way. I do not give a s*d how we stay up, or with what style. Let's get safe like you say and work from there.

Remember, as the press keep reminding us daily, we aren't supposed to have a right to even be in the Prem, the same as Bournemouth, Norwich, QPR, Bolton, Burnley, Blackburn, Wigan, Portsmouth etc etc etc. We are just the amusing cannon fodder for the season. I really hope that the press choke on Leicester's brilliant season. Their obsession with who the 'big four' actually are is quite amusing. Last year's big four are not this year's and so on. Just think that Man City were Tier 3 in 1999 and Chelsea Tier 2 in 1990. What comes around goes around and we punch way way above our weight.

Ok this snippet from the Watford thread got my attention....

"Its a shame that someone as successful and experienced as Guidolin could not be kept though, his achievements at Udinese were from the outside looking in nothing short of magnificent."

Possession football is all well and good if there's an end product.

Passing the ball around back and forth in your own half is what you do when you're 2-0 and trying to close a game out

Hopefully this new chap will remind players where and when to play, oh and where the net is

Exactly. And one with masses of experience, especially with small to mid sized clubs that he's apparently consistently taken from the bottoom of the league to the top third. On the face of it I think this looks like a good fit for us

Also, my concerns about going for a manager without British experience (Magath at Fulham etc.) are eased by the fact Curt looks to be playing a large role still. I think that's important


I think this will bring the best out of Curtis, now the pressure has been lifted from him Laudrup appeared to appreciate his work and was one of the first in touch to offer advice. He will be pivotal in aquainting the new manager with the players and club in general. It's a good move that has the potential to turn into a great one.

I'm right behind him and I hope the club get him the players that he needs.

Totally agree, let's hope that he can get a good working partnership going with Curt. 17 games can go by very quickly.

Luckily we are out of the cup..............more time on the training pitch

This has come from out of nowhere! Can't say I have heard of him, but his credentials look decent. Positive news at last, well done to the board.

Oh yes...........please let this be true 👍

Looking forward to see whether he can influence the existing team to play that way or are there going to be quite a few ins/outs?

I'm not sure we've got the full backs. Managers are more usually pragmatic and will go with a formation that fits the players we have.

There's always been a section on here that think I am on a wind up. It's funny how posters who are negative and out to cause trouble are new usernames isn't it.


I have noticed those usernames, too.

I have been suspicious that they are gadflies, here just to irritate us and bring us down. I tend to ignore them by their usernames.

I don't care. I'm old. I don't have to.

Personally I think the wing backs will be more wingers than full backs - Routledge and Barrow

It probably is last roll of the dice as far as this season is concerned. Shame Huw done a Leacock over Curt 'til the end of the season . If it wasn't for that he wouldn't really be looking like a mug.

Does the club actually employ a Press Officer?

If they do, he or she must be tearing their hair out

Damned if they don't , damned if they do.

Wish he was in for Watford but unlikely I suppose, still a shot in the arm though.


He could be advising from afar though, couldn't he? You know, of the record, like?

You're absolutely right that none of us have any idea about him, especially me because I've never heard of him, and that doesn't inspire much confidence. If he was exceptionally good then he would have been mentioned several weeks ago.

How do his teams play? Can he speak English? Why wasn't he good enough for Watford?

And has he actually signed for us?
[Post edited 17 Jan 2016 20:57]


Presumably he has a reasonable grasp of English if has been working as Director of Footbsll for Watford. Also you would think from that job - would have good idea of best players currently available in Europe for our budget.
