Watson on 20:21 - Oct 8 with 2650 views | RhonddaSwans | Yeah they probably done a review on where we are. We are short in so many positions ,the money men up stairs have done their maths of what we need to compete. It was like the set piece specialist we got from afc Wimbledon 🤣 Seriously Paul thank you for what exactly? I want someone to tell me….. Also take Luton into account by far the worst relegation team ever 🤨 | |

Watson on 19:50 - Oct 8 by ReslovenSwan1 | I am speculating and have no access to security cameras at the club nor do I have 'moles' with in the club. You are doing a "fact check" and can argue that my speculation is not based on hard evidence. You are right congratulations. However Williams stated in his presser that the "club" were looking at the non contracted players and Williams talks to Coleman on a regular basis. They looked pretty friendly in the forum and have notified fans on another Q and A together (excluding Watson) . I do not know the date location or time kindly for your information but the discussion must have happened. |
"I am speculating" like you always do! | |

Yes I speculate. It is what makes forums interesting. I have never claimed to have i an inside track. I do not take spin at face value either. | |

Maybe....possibly....two words that go a long way towards differentiating between fact and fiction. | | | |

Q "Maybe it's not for work related issues??" A It's isn't? A lot of negatives. The suggestion if I am correct is that this forum believes that Watson has left and it is nothing to do with his job but a straight forward job change. | |

I would say the biggest supporter and driving force behind the woman's team is Coleman. | | | |

I think he's hinting at something else | |

Watson on 16:03 - Oct 10 with 1187 views | ReslovenSwan1 | Coleman persisted is saying the setting up of the women's team was a "seminal moment". I did highlight back then about this to the great forum population. | |

I think you will find the womens team had been set up many years before Coleman was around and was definitely the most successful team in the Welsh pyramid. It was coming ' in house ' well before his time and would have turned semi pro if it had remained independent of the club . That is not to say he hasn't supported it well during his tenure | | | |
Watson on 16:57 - Oct 10 with 1112 views | shaggyrogers | A little perspective regarding the circulating rumours regarding the reason Watson was relieved of his duties. I have no doubt the rumours came from some who hate him, consumed too many pre match drinks in back street pubs and put two and two together, got five and before you know it it all ends up on social media as fact. The team in question were not directly under the stewardship of Watson so the inference that there were favours performed for employment benefits are well short of the mark. The decision on who got to be in the squad was not made by him. The other thing is that the majority of personnel in said team would not find Mr Watson attractive and that has nothing to do with the fact he is probably twice their age. Just another witch hunt that has cost someone their job and perhaps their marriage. | | | |

So it has cost him his job then in your opinion. | | | |

The straw that broke the camels back in my opinion. There may have been other things that the yanks weren't happy with ( they do tend to fall out with everyone who doesn't see it their way ) but this rumour is just farcical. Not only will it hurt Watson but it doesn't shine said team in good light either but some people don't care about that as long as they have their 5 minutes. Thoughtless and desperate. | | | |

Surely the club would have completed a thorough investigation before removing Watson. Failure to do this could result in major financial implications if proved to be not true. | | | |

You make some very good points Folk need to read what you actually oost Whitakers name pops up so often as he’s the biggest example of a coach’s ego taking precedence over a player and how he could impact the team . Great coaches DO deal with difficult,spoilt ,entitled,awkward ,arrogant ,idiotic players but they know how to have them perform. Our recent history is one of binning young players with talent , and bringing in loan players who are utterly useless for us .Weve not had a coach who has actually improved a player,significantly,for a long as I can remember .They are not “ coaches” by definition . Sorry. Our current incumbent is just one in a long line of hapless coaches using our club as a convenience . | |

The jury is still out on Williams who loves Cullen. I suspect Cullen is loved because he is low maintenance and cheap. 15 goals can change that perception. Williams does appear to have improved some players Also Vigoureax might have been a Williams pick. Tymon and Cooper have improved and Franco has slotted in seamlessly. Cabango and Darling are also impressing | |

Cullen is there, or at least he’s our main striker at the moment, because of massive inadequacy in the transfer market. Nothing else. Edit - I agree with your last paragraph. Cooper and Cabango at the very least have both improved this season [Post edited 10 Oct 20:03]
