  1. if davis was a guaranteed starter he'd be a great pick but morgan is possibly a better call with his long service, likelihood of playing every game, and the possibility it will make him think twice about leaving.
  2. Front page of the sun day after tomorrow.
  3. if lovren and shaw go we need to replace three quarters of our back four. that's just not practical. the club need to just refuse at some point.
  4. I'm in the same boat tbh.
  5. just switched tabs from a lallana thread. yeah shaw is unlikely to know who he is. shaw is unlikely to know who most people are though. i'm sure they can find him some videos to impress him with.
  6. or joined Barcelona the year Adam was born and left for feyenoord the year adam turned 7 it's borderline but adam could have known about him then. I know championship manager was out by 93/94
  7. sounds like we could have a secretary convention of our own. that's six season tickets accounted for anyway.
  8. the company secretary is gareth rogers as per companies house. the company secretary of the parent company is Michael James Fenn
  9. I think he said he's inherited well from hiddink and van gaal. the implication being that h hinherited convincing champions at PSV and only just scraped a title in the following season, and he inherited champions at Alkmaar and had them struggling in mid table when he was sacked. he also is thought to have overseen a decline in Ajax followina ariense. Pochettino inherited well but improved on it.
  10. he also had guidetti on loan the season before, scoring a similar number of goals. the failure of guidetti might be an argument that pelle won't make it, but let's think of it as a reason that RK will get us scoring.
  11. yeah the CEO is bound to be telling him that.
  12. of the 100s of tweets, blackmore is one of only 183 people lovren follows. whether that's before or after the tweet, I don't know.
  13. If anyone is of the opinion that a player agent driven media ****storm is insignificant, that's fine. I suggest they apply the same reasoning to the resultant forum ****storm and ignore it. personally i'm not too concerned about the speed of the managerial appointment in isolation. I'm more concerned about the sequence of failure and the token appointments that have lead up to it. Hoffstetter is supposed to have expertise in corporate governance. I wonder where the idea came from to appoint an invisible accountant as CEO and an underqualified spokesperson in key positions.
  14. it began before the season ended with all the keep pochettino pleas and nobody will talk to me about my expiring contract. it's only carried on and intensified. it is disastrous because at a time when the club should be selling season tickets there is huge uncertainty which looks like it's already seen a lot of renewals lost. even the newspaper that the club first seemed to have found a haven with is now publishing articles, putting words into the mouth of rodriguez and naming players who are destined to leave. the players are mostly not at the club's premises. granted. great comfort that, while they still find time to instruct the press or their agents to voice and sew discontent. i've not checked with swansea fans at any length but I do not recall anything of this sort happening without financial collapse or relegation.
  15. apparently they are not working to the demands and expectations of their employees and assets though. whether the players are being disingenuous is another matter, but the fans can legitimately be concerned about the running of the club when the atmosphere generated around the club is so disastrous.
  16. we were promoted twice in seasons when jason puncheon was having a tantrum and we broke our record premier league points score when osvaldo assaulted one of the most senior players at the club.
  17. they only get25% of any portion of the fee above 18k. sucks to be them. 4,500 in our pockets free and clear.
  18. it was probably chamberlain or gibbs
  19. no, he signed a new contract half way through our championship season http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16354197
  20. The british billion used to be 1,000,000,000,000 it's not 1,000,000,000 as in USA.
  21. has anyone thought that the difficult financial situation might be ffp? cortese embarking on a reckless spending spree without generating revenue to match it, which might have left us in trouble for reasons other than insolvency. maybe veho has a rich new shareholder and our sponsorship deal is better than we thought
  22. so far we've lost to resignation a controversial chairman, a manager who was only in it for a quick champions league push, and we've apparently agreed another deal on arguably compassionate grounds. if and when the crown jewels are sold, then i'm goign to have to reassess what sort of business the board are doing.
  23. if reed isn't dealing with the football side then the only person we have left on that side is martin hunter.
  24. Too late, I've just sacked Krueger. Either he's taking it very well or he hasn't got the message yet.
  25. so far the board have a) lost the chairman they say they wanted to keep b) signed a couple of teenagers onto their first and second contracts. c) lost the manager they say they wanted to keep d) said they wanted to be judged on actions not words. looking forward to the rest of their plans coming to fruition.
