| Swansea City : One down, but he wasn’t the answer, this needs investment on 09:31 - Dec 6 with 3113 views | Whiterockin |
My concern regarding the current ownership model of the club has been obvious to many for a while. Fellow supporters are now also becoming disillusioned with the senior management and are walking away. The sacking of Duff appears to have taken a little pressure off the board, but who employed him the first place. The six months that Coleman has been chairman has not inspired confidence, we seem to be employing more expensive senior management and going backwards. The next appointment of first team manager/head coach is crucial, we need to spend whatever is needed to get the best person in place. Failure again and it will be obvious to all that Coleman and his senior management team are just not up to the job. |  | |  |

Some supporters make a lot of effort, travel long distances and make financial sacrifices to support Swansea City. They can not be blamed for walking away, when they see vast amounts of money spent by the club on personnel who are not delivering . The chairman has one shot at this appointment, get it wrong and he is finished. | | | |

The only logic that I can see at the moment (and there's been almost no logic in decisions they've made so far with ALL the managers they've appointed) is this.
If they were planning on spending a decent amount in January but had decided that they didn't trust Duff with that money (same as they didn't trust RM) then they have to be planning to allow the new manager to spend that money. Appointing him soon would allow him to assess the squad and decide where strengthening is needed.
The only good thing about that is (if i'm correct) that they simply can't appoint the new manager then back out of the spending literally a few weeks later.
Actually the other possibility that occurred to me while writing is that they may be planning on using a large part of that money to give a big contract to a renowned and proven manager. They've already appointed a number of relatively unknown/untried managers and maybe have decided on that different approach. | | | |

But is it the coach who brings in the players or Watson and Coleman. We had players coming in during the summer before Duff arrived. | | | |

The senior management team at the club do not fill me with confidence to be able to run it properly let alone find the right fit manager for us.
Coleman - no football experience
Gude - no football experience
G.Davies - Accountant and no interest in football
A.Davies - In charge of facilities
Which leaves Paul Watson who , before going to Luton, had no experience at this level.
I just cannot see how the above are going to find that ' right ' person and if Coleman is going to do it himself then god help us as he has no experience and i doubt any contacts within the game. The rest on the SMT are yes men with little knowledge so Paul Watson better be strong and we just need to pray he gets it right. | | | |

I haven't posted in a long time, and I was surprised that they had the balls to sack Duff.
This appointment is crucial to get us up the table and play some attractive and tactically good football.
Maybe Chris Davies is a good shout for the long term, apart from that there is not a lot out there that would rock my boat.
Just a thought, how about paying the bucks to get Potter back until the end of the season.
Gives us some breathing space and hopefully some good tactical football and gets Potter back in the window.
It will buy us some time to find the right longer term fit ? |  | | |

I just found that post slightly ironic since you walked away from the club about 30 years ago.  |
Try again but this time,post a propos the topic which is why thousands are walking away.
I haven’t which is why I’m wasting my time here with you.
Like it or not,we have something in common. | |

Nice to hear from you. Got to go for the best this time, it will take cash, but the alternative will result in another summer sacking. The club has a downward trajectory since 2017 bar a few hopeful moments with Cooper and the last twelve games or so under Martin. Both left the club under a cloud, makes you wonder why ? |  |

Agree but where is the cash coming from? Paid off Duff, money needed for players in January. Think it will have to be a free agent so as we don't have to pay compensation to another club. |  |

I understand where you’re coming from Keith regarding getting the best in but it seems to be the usual problem getting the best to come to Swansea yet alone deal with the bunch of cowboys who own the club. | |

I believe there are people in the background who have been around for quite some time. People associated with the academy or kitman perhaps. People like Curtis before he retired. Workers with no aspiration s of promotion but people who love the club and been through thick and thin.
Coleman Watson Gude speak to these people everyday and respect their views.
Steve Cooper might becoming avaiiable and might be attracted for a return if a juicy budget is on offer |  |

Cooper will not be returning to us anytime soon.
He may be the next Crystal Palace manager. | | | |
