One BCFC Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Felt bad for the bloke tbh. Was always going to fail, the media and fans didn't warm to him at all because of his American accent. Swansea owners have sacked and sacked since they have been in the Prem maybe they should just count themselves lucky that they are where they are and not bottom of League 2 at the Vetch Field.

samo II Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Lunacy - 85 days; what's he meant to do in that time. With all this discussion around sacking LJ, I have to say; I'd hate to see us become a sack, sack, and sack again type of club - just looks like pure chaos there.

In just over 12 months they've had Monk, Curtis, the Italian gent who's name I forget, and now Bradley - and that is with no one in post now. We had SC, Pembo and LJ, so I'd suggest not the same frequency. Plus; other than Coppel's walk-away, I think we've given most managers longer than 85 days. Granted; some on here would like to see us swing the axe again now, so maybe some have the stomach for that approach - not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted December 27, 2016 Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 Owners are total nuts who don't understand a thing about football. Managers are well paid to be sacked. When will we see a doctors degree in football? Someone who can tell why it wen't tits. Physically & mentally and back it up with facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny isn't it. Seems we're happy to sit here and criticise Swansea for an apparent "sacking culture" after getting rid succession of managers who have all struggled for a relatively limited period of time. And yet at the same time the knives are out for our own manager for a similarly short period of struggle. It's almost as if we lament the lack of patience shown by other clubs, but we're not willing to show that same patience ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another thing - what club ever "counted themselves lucky they are where they are". Swansea are in the relegation zone so their Premier League status is at stake. You expect them just to accept that, or fight to preserve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
