I should have said “in my opinion” in my post.

But I think it’s pretty obvious. He was the first one to talk to the media after relegation and for me he give it to Jenkins regarding going away from our principles with transfers etc. Also, he has family members who are publicly in the “Jenkins out” camp.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Jenkins would happily bomb Curt out, but he knows fully well what the reaction would be.

Genuinely think this is a Potter decision.

According to him they’ve known eachother a while through mutual friends, who I’m assuming is Martinez and Jones. Potter has been with us plenty of times over the years before taking Osterstunds job and Curtis would have been around.

Not saying they are best of buddies but they would have met previously plenty of times.

He was in Brenda's backroom team, and Laudrup increased his roll upon Pascoe's departure along with Brenda. He was instantly pushed down the pecking order under Monk, in favour of a pair of idiots that let Monk down badly. He hanged on in there under Guido and Bobbley, again in a lesser role, before being cast aside by Clement. In conclusion, he had big roles under our most successful managers and got cast aside by our most clueless managers. I'd rather take Laudrup's word on how good he is than Clement's.


He knew to much for Clement and Monk and they felt threatened.
Laudrup and Potter have a bit more about them.
Jenkins may have suggested it but so what it's a good move and that's all that matters.
If Potter said no it would not have happened.

I suspect as potter is a clever man he will have done his homework on the club before he got the job and he will realise what curt means the the club and the club to curt

Great move imo

Probably won’t have enough left to go out on loan .

On a serious note, I think it is important that someone looks after the players on loan and that that person has a good relationship with Potter so there is a good line of communication re performance levels etc.

A Premier League stipulation I think, so Huw was looking for something for him to do. And to be honest, I don't really care if it was Huw that got the idea.

Great news.

Factually Potter lacks experience in the English leagues.
King Curt has vast experience, so just perfect to have around.

Much better than any option involving , say, young Tosh and/or former postie Waggy.

I am firmly ‘on side’ for as long as the great man wants to contribute.
There is no downside for this one.

I don’t care who’s decision it was so long as Potter is happy if it wasn’t his.

We may dislike Jenkins intensely but that doesn’t mean that every decision he makes is automatically wrong. Potter is bringing some of his staff with him and Curt is a link with the club’s history and recent (and not so recent) successes.

Good move.

This season, and the couple after that, is just as much a rebuild of club culture as it is a rebuild of the squad. Good move.

Do you think Potter had even heard of him before?

We all know who has “suggested” this appointment to him, so I’m just waiting for the, “well done Huw” posts. Just for balance like.

This is Jenkins trying to curry favour with the fans. And it will work.

Disagree.

Obviously I can only speak for myself, but even if you are right, I still feel exactly the same now about Jenkins than I did before Curtis was appointed. I despise the bloke and the day he goes can’t come soon enough.

I’m almost disappointed in this.

Not in the appointment itself, he’d die for the club and has always done well for us. More because (to me at least) it shows that Jenkins can’t sit back and let the professionals do their job. To me, this indicates he will have a big say in which players we bring in as well. He should be giving Potter parameters and near enough free reign within them.

I honestly don't know why everyone is so sure this is a Jenkins appointment.

1: Potter knows Curtis from before
2: Martinez and Jones would have spoke highly about him to Potter
3: He's into things like getting the community together and everyone pushing in the same direction, what better way to start this by appointing Curtis? He's a legend in Swansea.
4: I don't think Curtis and Jenkins get on, as I said in a previous post, Curtis went in on him in the first interview after relegation, and people close to him have all called for Jenkins head.

Because it smacks of pacifying the fans in between relegation, selling off our best players and (probably) an uninspiring incoming transfer window.

It’s the kind of wormy trick he pulls. Like putting Curt and then Leon in charge when he’s been under pressure in the past.

They’ll probably announce a role for Angel next week on the day we arrive back for pre-season training with no new players.

After spending big on Borja, Bony, Mesa and Clucas, plus the loan fees and wages for Sanches, arguably Tammy, over the last two seasons, on top of going through four managers, it amazes me the Americans retain any confidence in him.

Have to admit I was more than happy with a few of those signings at the time, but I’m not paid huge money to get those decisions right and keep us in the PL.
