As the many thousands of views dictate on this website we continue to report matters of interest as we did yesterday morning on Luke Williams. A fairly concise and pertinent piece by our site owner. I suppose what every writer relies upon is for the reader to actually understand what is being said.

That only surfaces when the ‘told you so’ merchants crawl out of their drains.

Yes,there are always lazy, boring accounts on social media and indeed on the internet that are always looking for the trousers down moment, and we admit there are times when that happens to us. No reporting platform is ever right all the time. But we stand by what we say and when we say it, irrespective of how it pans out. We try and write informatively and do so without fear or favour every time.

Yesterday was mad, I was running the Twitter account for quite a while and whilst it looked like Luke Williams was going everyone was happy and smiley. When a few more mainstream journalists put their toe in, it spun out so many people we had to put up a post asking for some clarification. The responses we got were that Luke Williams in the main was better off leaving Swansea City. Plus the amount of people stating he was going was formidable. We didn’t print that nor did we say so. Our editor did, but he doesn’t really care, it’s in his own name, plus he’s all about face to face chats when people want to discuss something. As everyone should be.

Sorry Keith, it just got worse !

We have to get our positioning right for this.

This whole saga regards Luke Williams only bothered us when it became clear he was touting himself in the press, and yes, we stand by the fact his agent knew what was going on. Our issue in all this is Luke Williams being so inconsiderate and acting with such a lack of thought this week. West Bromwich Albion has been the catalyst for a real insight into Luke Williams mindset and into him as a person. He has fallen out of favour with the majority of Swans fans, for now. That could change, all we need to hear from the club is that we are all friends again, and Luke is our number one buddy. That would restore faith in the club and Luke for the meantime.

Possibly.

Others are going to say ‘get rid’ and with only a few stating otherwise. That’s the issue for Chairman, Andrew Coleman. We have had some information he is furious with all this, so does he bite the bullet and consolidate or as we expect now, or in time - fire him ? At most clubs Luke Williams would find his position untenable for the comments of this week. They have been quite simply ridiculous. Andrew Coleman is no mug when it comes to business, plus he has a twenty one million pound investment to look after and protect, albeit diluting the clubs shares these new guys won’t be happy with it.

Don’t forget how trigger happy the Chairman can be, he was quick to post his thoughts when certain people were rumoured to be leaving the club last year, Josh Marsh etc. But this time ?

Luke Williams has to realise that he is the face of the club, the reason why people go to the match or stay at home. He is the reason why things are meant to look good even when they are not. At the moment he has a disillusioned squad, and displaying himself as someone who has totally lost touch. He is struggling to find consistency as well which has been evident over his year at the club. Unable to put together a run bar three games won on the bounce at the end of last season. The inconsistency of this season has been so difficult to take at times it has left fans exhausted in trying to explain what they are witnessing. To have nearly 2,000 fans at Portsmouth and not one apology from the head coach was one thing, coupled with his really odd behaviour this past week displays a man who it seems is losing it. We have seen Luke Williams walk out on the club before when he was on Russell Martin’s staff, there was speculation he needed time out. He never returned until Notts County started doing well and Andrew Coleman persuaded him to come to Swansea.

Managing Swansea is a hard job, the expectations to play good football will always be there, however we really do need now to hear something from Andrew Coleman. To be honest the silence so far has been absolutely deafening. There is clearly something wrong or that united front is about to be seen and the last week just blown away as if it never happened.
