Surely it's more than just some mad ramblings. Granted, he comes across a bit nuts, but surely there's got to be something in it for him. Something has got to be up, and Huw Jenkins clearly has his paws all over it.

Some very confident prediction by Tutu. A consortium buy out? One that is headed by ML and enables HJ to keep his Chairman''s post and retain a minority shareholding? If he pulled that one off you would have to say he is the master of self survival if little else. I could live with the last bit if the very unlikely scenario happened.

Nothing surprises me anymore. We are just as likely to end up with Cookie in charge ;-)
The only good thing about this relegation, is that it looks like the queue for Season Ticket’s has dramatically decreased so I’ll have one next year now my playing days are over. If Cookie takes over though I may prolong my career and play in the sticks because it would be a disaster appointment. Nothing would surprise me while Jenkins is here though.

We've been crying out for a player like Poz for a couple of years. Canas was worse than shite and would have have looked f*cking amazing in our current midfield.
I don't disagree with you mate but Pozuelo was indisciplined he often (always) drifted out of position and caused overcrowding - For all that I thought Poz had enough for patience to be given in respect to coaching him.
p.s. I did note that you said "a player like Poz" but I voiced my thoughts as some posts mentioning him are revisionist.

Or more likely, perhaps he's enjoying the attention he's getting from large numbers of Swans fans hanging on his every word and begging him to bring Laudrup back.
As I said yesterday, Laudrup as DOF would be an interesting one with a coach like Potter underneath him, but I don't believe for one minute it's going to happen.

Any source? Because I have just gone through bayrams twitter account, and it's never ending, Looks legit to me.
Yeh. If this one is fake then someone has gone to a Hell of a lot of trouble to create it. Going back yearsin fact. The amount of followers and who he follows ties in exactly with his view points. The account is till active and the tweets are not just about the Swansea but world football in general. Seems legit to me although that does not mean he is talking bollo as he is as mad as a March Hare. I like people like that and still cling to a slight hope that something will come of his tweets.

You’d be the last to know if it was going to happen.

Same as what Globus said. What goes around comes around. Just look at the way the sellouts treated O'Keeffe and Penney. Model club we may have been once but the likes of Monk and Williams are as complicit as the sellouts.
Very surprised to see Leon's name there though. My memory is a bit hazy but did ML exclude him too? I was so drunk on our exquisite football I didn't even notice!
Sorry Bryan
Think when Canas came in in ML’s 2nd season Leon was still played but less so. Leon could be brilliant in some games but totally played into anonymity in other types of games.
It was from a TV interview with Monk after he was put in charge where he said that he, Ash and Leon had decided to “save” the club. I was pretty shocked to hear Leon involved too as did not see him cut from the same cloth as Monk and Ash. Perhaps more pulled into in don’t know really. Of course Monk and Ash would want the legitimacy of Leon to give their self serving power protecting little gang more cred.
So Monks own words the only evidence I have but Tutu’s comments seem to back that up.
Also remember comments way back about MM having it in for Laudrup. Very different people.
All so sad, interesting that after a win against Cardiff (only courtesy of Pabs being brought on in the 2nd half) Monk immediately took us on our longest run of games without a win since long before we joined the PL. Even after a run of late wins when comparing like for like PL games with the previous season he could not equal Laudrups performance in the months before he was sacked despite none of the PL record injuries Laudrup was contending with, far fewer fixtures and no senior player revolt. Yet some still see Monk as our saviour despite this and what he did to our football.
Interesting even in Monks full season when we achieved so well, he got less average points per game than Laudrup in the same equivalent full 5 months before Laudrup was sacked.
And despite Bony by his own admission not being PL fit until the end of the calendar year in his first full season. It was Laudrup not Monk that played him in every PL game for which he was available. Yet if all Bony’s PL goals under Laudrup had been removed he would have been only 1 point worse off up to his sacking.

Are you saying there that Laudrup played Bony in every PL game for which he was available?

I genuinely can't believe those who are happy for an agent to take millions and millions out of club like this, with the circa £4.5m fees in one season (at a time that our highest fee was about £6m) being nothing compared to what he was going to make as the price of our targets increased and the wages too.
To be making 7% on ALL incoming and outgoing players is a mad deal. It's not Bayram's fault....that's the fault of the Chairman, but the fact that ML was making money (via Bayram) on signings is just completely wrong.
There was a story going around that Pablo Hernandez was asked how much he wanted to join the Swans and he told Bayram £20k a week. He was told to say £40k and he would keep £30k and give £10k to Bayram. Similar happened with Pozuelo and Canas, apparently. It's just impossible for us to allow that to happen, as well as illegal under the FA's rules.
ML's name and reputation for playing the beautiful way attracted many players, as did the reputation the club had at the time of being "Swanselona". I think Byram directly brought in Canas, Pozuela and Hernandez, but not Chico or Michu. To make £4.5m plus back-handers from those signings shows how bad things were.
Saying that, since ML's departure we've never replaced him with such a stylish manager (in terms of the way the team play) or had the recruitment nouse behind the scenes. This is why we're in the position we're in now. The money spent (regardless of who we've sold) should have been MORE than enough to see us comfortable, but once Jenkins took his finger off the pulse (to focus on selling the club), he couldn't even find the pulse later when he needed to. £75m + £350k a week on Bony, Clucas, Mesa, Sanches, Baston and Tammy pretty much sums up how much Jenkins' luck had run out.
It's possible to find a happy medium between giving an agent carte blanche to buy/sell ALL our players and having to solely rely on Falkirk, ex-players or anyone with dreadlocks who once had a good game against us, to save our transfer windows.

I'm just saying what most (if not all) were saying at the time ML was taking us down.
It's funny how people are bizarrely on Bayram's side right now. He's exactly the sort of scum that is poisoning football, but some people want him back? It's insane.
