Administrator Stan Posted December 20, 2017 Administrator Posted December 20, 2017 Swansea finally get rid of a manager who had lost their last 6 away games and had just been playing very poorly anyway. Lack of faith from the board in the transfer window? Will they go for Pulis?
Administrator Batard Posted December 20, 2017 Administrator Posted December 20, 2017 Wouldn’t be surprised to see captain punt at Swansea
Honey Honey Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Chris Coleman will be kicking himself. He would have been nailed on for this.
Honey Honey Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Tony Pulis 1/2 Tom Jones 3/1 Leon Britton 7/1 Ronald Koeman 10/1 Ryan Giggs 12/1 Michael O'Neill 12/1 Gary Neville 14/1

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted December 20, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 20, 2017 Giggs again for fucks sake. Sickens me that there will be some ex players out there getting their badges and picking up experience coaching wherever they can get a job while Giggs (who let's not forget is a shithouse as a human being) sits on his arse and just expects to get a job because he was good at playing football and says publicly that he wants one.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted December 20, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 20, 2017 I mean Christ I used to go to school and was a good student. I wish I could have got a teaching job by just telling the newspapers I'd quite like to be a teacher without making any effort to get qualifications and experience.
Lucas Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Story of Swansea's life the last two-three years. Manager comes in, manager goes. Manager comes in, manager goes. I mentioned this in the match thread on Monday against Everton how sad it was to see Swansea fall so badly when they'd built such a great foundation playing beautiful football. I don't think there have been too many sides out there who come up from the Championship, soon win a League Cup, then Europe followed by two top 8 finishes in three years. Credit to Roberto Martinez for installing their beliefs and Brendan Rodgers for developing them. Laudrup also deserves praise for the short term job he did when Rodgers left. They were going the right way and it all went tits up. Since Garry Monk was harshly relieved of his duties, they have had three managers who have failed to take the club further in Guidolin, Bradley and Clement. Now they look like perennial strugglers each year and it's just a question of when, not if, they drop in the future. If they were going to take a punt, how about the Wolves manager Nuno? He's on to a good thing at Wolves at the mo and if he has any sense, he wouldn't leave them for Swansea. but from a Swansea perspective, he could be an ideal fit with the football he likes to play. I'd even take Koeman as a Swansea fan. Anything but Pulis.
HK85 Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 In fairness, he has a pro licence and was involved in coaching at United under LvG. It's what he's not done after this which is the problem. He'd easily get a championship job, just doesn't seem to be willing to go down that level.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 21, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 21, 2017 Pulis would take them down. Their squad isn't suited to him what so ever.
Smiley Culture Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Paul Clement is a bit shit really. He seems to live off the fact that he used to work at some big clubs under Carlo Ancelotti but having gone it alone, he’s not really pulled up any trees that indicates he should be linked with jobs at Premier League or Championship level, but I’m sure he’ll become one of those names that appears for every job, listed at odds of 18/1.
Toony Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 I don't rate him, sure he's a decent coach but he's done a poor job this season. Hard to see them staying up no matter who takes over unless they're willing to overhaul their squad in January, their players just aren't good enough.

His stock shouldn't drop based on this, Swansea were gash before he took over. That's sickness a cop out. People said that about Garry Monk and he's still in the Championship.

Honey Honey Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 If you believe he shouldn't be judged because of how bad Swansea are then he also shouldn't be judged favourably for his time at Derby, since they were one of the easiest jobs in the Championship at the time.
Honey Honey Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Pulis not in the running according to BBC. Swansea eyeing Koeman, van Gaal, Bilic and Kaplonka
Danny Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 3 hours ago, Cannabis said: ...isn't that bad in a league like the Championship. 22 games in and the highest amount of draws from anyone in the play offs/automatics is 7. Then look at the team Derby have and the money they spend... I think people get let off the hook for going to a club in disarray, they were the ones who chose the job. Who in their right mind would hire a manager who's key skills is decision making, who can't make the correct decision on which club to manage at. Not so much aimed at Clement but just in general. I think he had a lot of fanfare because he was an Englishman working at the likes of Real and Bayern but he's proven so far he's probably a fairly average Championship manager.
carefreeluke Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Still unsure on his ability as manager, if he gets another job I think that will be a better indicator. His time abroad definitely enhanced the public opinion of him, would like to see how he fairs in another job. Anyway local lad for me, grew up and spent a lot of his life in and around where I'm from, combine that with his links with Chelsea, wish him all the best.
Honey Honey Posted December 21, 2017 Posted December 21, 2017 Could be a SkyBet con but SkySports are reporting Frank De Boer is being considered
Subscriber Dan+ Posted December 21, 2017 Subscriber Posted December 21, 2017 Interesting that they haven't defaulted to Pulis like everyone said they would.
