Eric Ramsay : Casemiro praise & could Dennis Lawrence return to Swansea ?

We featured Eric Ramsay some fourteen months or so ago when the Swans were linked with him back at the start of December 2023. When he moved right into one of the top runners for the Swans job we republished the feature again at the end of that month.

As a build up to our report in the manager chase that Swansea City are undertaking since sacking Luke Williams we have that report published again. Remember this was before the appointment of Luke Williams, around about a week before. But it gives Swans fans that extra detail that isn’t available elsewhere on the man and his football principles.

Ramsay was a youth coach at the Swans when the club were in the Premier League, so, is it now the time for him to test himself in the Championship ?

Since this report Ramsay has been head coach at Minnesota United and earning plaudits. His sides score goals but also concede them. They are currently sitting sixth in the MLS western conference and enjoying the ride with Eric at the helm. Minnesota have Ramsay on what is described as a ‘multi year contract’ and he will almost certainly want his staff with him. Dennis Lawrence who made some eighty appearances for the Swans will surely be one, New Zealander, Cameron Knowles another.

Eric is fluent in Welsh, French, Spanish and of course English. His son is called Jac !

The ex Llanfyllin High School pupil has an opportunity for sure but the cash involved for the Swans is pretty eye watering. Eric is described as Welsh in his profiles but was born in Shrewsbury / Oswestry. Despite the betting being so say suspended you can still get 2/1 odds in many places. Eric Ramsay hasn’t been head coach at Minnesota for a year yet, so it’s a big gamble for him and most certainly the club.

We had had a good look around the latest betting on the next Swansea City manager. Basically the bookies in this market are generally far off the mark when it comes to Swansea betting.

Luke Williams : The Swans just need to stop making the same old cheap mistakes
Despite the wait - when it became apparent that the new Swansea investment team pretty much had enough of Luke Williams, the Swans head coach, the inevitable happened.

So this morning we thought we would take the option that it seems Swansea City take while the club drops towards League One.

The crazy spiral the Swans find themselves in : Stoke City pre match
Swansea City will be travelling north from west Wales today in preparation for tomorrow afternoon’s away fixture against Stoke City. It’s a must win for both sides who are quite frankly dreadful over their past ten games, so much so they are both right in the relegation mix.
Richard Montague : Nothing to do with me says Williams plus that offside goal
Despite giving him an incredible reference, Swans head coach Luke Williams has stated the appointment of Richard Montague as some form of football director was nothing to do with him. We will also have a look at that Jay Fulton disallowed goal last night.
