Ramz64 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Being linked with Swansea now they've ruled out Giggs. Looks like he's the fave to take over there just now. If he does get it I wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to go around the whole pitch once before you can actually start playing, and you could go around several times without getting a Chance. You spend money whenever you get the opportunity without any real thought as to whether you need the asset, in the faint hope that it'll come good by sheer luck alone. Crucially, you can cheat when your family aren't looking* *in reference to the board game alone. Also "allegedly". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Good luck to him. He'd suit the way Swansea used to play and be quite effective and had an identity. Big risk for them though, they need a "do a job, keep you up man" like palace just got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It would be a silly move for Swansea to make in my opinion. I'm not saying PC is a bad manager and couldn't keep them up, but he's still unproven as a manager, let alone as a manager in the PL. Swansea simply cannot afford to be taking risks on managers in their position. They tried it with Bob Bradley and quickly realised that was a big mistake. Why take another risk? If this one doesn't pay off it may be too later to keep them up. They need someone with PL experience then worry about any more risky appointments for when the season is over and everyone starts on 0 points again. Someone like Allardyce would have been perfect for Swansea simply to give them the best chance of survival. When you look at the list of odds of the more likely managers to get the job, then there aren't many options that aren't risks. Clement, Rowett, Coleman, Giggs... it could pay off for them, but I think Wales will be Premier League club-less once again in a few months.

Carl Sagan Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 If Swansea simply go for a "keep them up at all costs" manager then they've lost everything in terms of the club ethos they built up so impressively over recent seasons. Clement would suit the Swansea way far better than the Derby way and if they go down playing in that style they can come up aso playing in that style. I reckon he'd be a good appointment for them.

It could be very good for them longer term, he would fit that Swansea "continental" ethos. But its almost only makes sense if they are going for the "we've budgeted against relegation and you get this season and next to build" approach, but getting back is never easy. Norwich and Villa are hardly nailed on to go back up, and the premier league seems to be getting along just fine without Villa.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennington Ram Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Wonder if he will fancy any of our side? Could do worse than Shackell at the moment considering their recent results and Clement got good performances from him for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramsbottom Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I'd give it to Rowett. Of course he hasn't managed in the Prem, but anybody who could turn around Birmingham the way he did, having lost 8-0 the game before he took over, knows how to motivate and organise a team. Clement had a much easier task with us, in fact his performance considering the resources he was given, was just about par... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harrowram Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 The managers at Newcastle,Brighton Leeds, Reading, Sheff Wed and Huddersfield would all be good candidates for the Swansea job. Rowett's only experience has been at clubs with no money and no expectation. He would therefore be better suited to Forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
