This isn't about running a tight ship This is about making yourself completely unfashionable to a manager from a lower league because he would have no scope for improving the side and to go forward as a club Open your eyes we may stay in the division this year but look out were going backwards fast | ![](/images/avatars/10999.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

So you as a loyal fan are classifying your club on the basis of ex Norwich city favourite's view of Swansea city along with a QPR coach who has a reported history of having stage fright and cold feet late in negotiations? Swansea is a great club over the last 20 years. Russel Martin is fashionable, 13 th he came last season with 8,000 fans in a 30,000 seater stadium. You base going backwards on the parachute payment and budget not the playing staff and prospects in the club. Real good prospects like Benda, Cabango, Brandon Cooper, Rushesha, Ollie Cooper Cullen Garrick and Joseph. Stop messing about and give the job to Morris on a one year deal. Off you go mate prove yourself. | ![](/images/avatars/27402.gif) |

Would you rather we were in the same position as Cardiff or Swindon? We've seen what a REAL mess looks like. Would we want to overspend on a manager and players maybe not worth the money? We may be going backwards, or we may not. We won't know for a while yet. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Rayn’s as you know I try to remain positive but having managers turn us down left right & centre 8 days before the season starts is worrying. We finished in the top 6 of the championship 2 years on the trot. | ![](/images/avatars/9450.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

In normal times I'd probably agree with you but these are far from normal times. A lot of people are being very cautious some are maybe even running scared. Of all times to be looking for a manager this is hardly the best time. Ironically, with us being more financially stable than many other clubs we are possibly a better bet than plenty of other clubs too. Only the clubs with parachute payments have anything substantial to spend but only Fulham have, yet. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

Absolutely! If I were considering the post, the first port of call would be Steve Cooper to sus the reality of what I’d be letting myself in for. I don’t know if any of the names mentioned have got that far into the process, but if they have, I’d be pretty sure that they’d have made time to have a quiet word with Steve. | ![](/images/avatars/11803.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Well yes, you do. Every transfer in incurs costs, agents fees and wages, a signing on fee. The main thing for me is, some clubs are spending more than they have coming in. I'll cite Cardiff again, reputedly running at a loss of 3 MILLION per month and they still have the Sala case to sort out yet. We don't have that issue, we are financially stable, we won't have to worry about FFP or bankruptcy. Harking back to the days of Tony Petty, we'de havesnatched your hands off to be a club in this position. Some people seem to have forgotten, some weren't there so don't know but some others, well some people never learn. We all want success but some don't seem to worry about the price of success. I wonder how many people would accept us winning the EPL if we went out of existence the next season? | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |
