    Hope you find the right manager.
    Mightn't be pretty or the ' Swansea way' but what's IS important is 17th place.

    Rodgers or Martinez back would be nice but maybe fantasy on my part, still we need to get back to 'keep ball' possession based football and ditch this long ball we have been playing under Clement.............<ok>

    Pullis is known to admire the way we played under Martinez/Rogers so if it is him i can see him getting that system back......I'm not arrogant to think it will be easy but we HAD to sack Clement to change things. Now we have finally done it at last we can move on and if it is pullis then at least he has premiership experience something Clement never possessed......

    It would be annoying, but don't see it happening.

    Colin and Tan having a bromance and I don't see a divorce any time soon.

    Anyway, you wouldn't want to be playing the style of footy we've been playing of late as people have been very critical of our long ball tactics!

    Warnock is a decent man who will reach the premiership with Cardiff anyway imo.......No it will be pullis 60% or RK 40%.....I hope Pullis myself....

    It might be against the type of football you want but pullis will see you safe. 18 months of consolidation under pullis then look to drift back to what worked for you.

    Do you seriously think that squad is good enough to secure 15th?

    You sold the best 2 players you had in the summer and simply didn’t replace them with equivalent quality, without their goals and assists you’d have gone down last season. That squad was gash before they left it’s now for me the worst in the division and it’s no surprise whatsoever that you’re propping the table up.

    Sacking Clement doesn’t solve anything, that group of players simply isn’t good enough, and without a few quality additions in January whoever comes in will have a thankless task imo.

    Sacking Clement just takes more money out of the club. it' not enough to invest I know but it is all negative. Where's the cash coming from to buy in January? Unless the Yanks (all 30 of them) decide to put up a fighting fund, then one or two will have to bite the bullet and provide cash or bank guarantees. You've already borrowed against future income which suggest cash surpluses are like hens' teeth.

    Bang on.

    Our players are at best mid championship quality. Same as Clement.

    He got lucky last year as he was left with no other options but to bring Leon back for the last 7-8 games.

    It was Leon that kept us up last year and not Clement, as I've suggested for a while now.

    More than enough.....Clement's system was all wrong thats all....we have a full 2nd half of the season left and that is more than ample to climb the table...

    You dont know that Valley.....A different way of playing can change things.....Everton had the same problem and so did palace and west ham so why not us....The players are good enough but Clement's Way which was negative has clouded your judgement of our players....
