maybe it was the executive and recruitment team decided against Gyokeres.
Maybe it wasn't Steve.

Reading comments from Cooper in January 2021 it sounds he was frustrated that the club did the loan deal "late in the day".

This backs up Watsons claim that there was no process in place at the club around recruitment which begs the question why did the Swans board allowed this to occur for such a long time? Watson was clearly pointing the finger at the owners at the fans forum the other month.

maybe it will depend which agencies we are using for recruitment in terms of how we do business this Summer?

Loans are bad business.

Maybe we shouldn't have taken Gyokeres on loan then?

The constant posting about Gyokeres is repetitive and boring. Please come up with a new angle.

I don't know if you watch Swansea much but I saw most games when Gyokeres was with us and he was nothing special.
All clubs have players who move on and become stars.
I am not sure if you supported the Swans in the early 80s but we had a player called Dean Saunders who we released.
Doug Sharpe refused to pay Ron Noades £100,000 for John Salako.
The great Frank Burrows had Frank Lampard Junior.
But we don't go on about those missed opportunities.
[Chelsea had Salah and De Bruyne on their books].

Cooper had a challenging time. From memory he was given players from DC United who he did not want. I trust Steve over Jason and Kaplan when it comes to player quality.

And in summary we should remember

The Huw Jenkins era - more good signings than bad

The Jason Levien era - more bad signings than good.

Watson will have to do a season review - including an assessment on his signings across the season - like any professional club.

I would be interested to see how this is received.

No.
Your alleged comments about Mr Birch in relation to Mr Jenkins and Mr Morgan.
Please provide evidence. How would you know this?

This is a Millwall team we dismantled 3-0 at the New Den in September under Duff.

Today was abysmal. Williams has a lot of work to do this in the coming weeks and months.

at 19:59 2 May 2024

If Rushworth is ambitious I doubt he will we want to return to us. He will seen first hand the haphazard things which have been done this season off the field in terms of managerial appointments.

And if we did sign him as the original poster has suggested - where does that leave us with our losses?

re: POTY Awards last night.

Did anyone go?

What was Coleman's speech like? Did he acknowledge that it has been a very miserable season (apart from one or two exceptions)?

Trevor has a very impressive CV in football and is hugely respected.
He was a bad loss when he left in 2021.

the club statement was that he left on 24th June 2023.

Coleman posted a statement on 7th May that the speculation around Winter (and Marsh) was unfair and not right.

Trevor is a very good man and I think we miss him and his expertise especially during the difficult period that was the pandemic.
Remember that brilliant night at Reading in July 2020?

think how much experience around football and Swansea Mel and Stu have compared to the current board.

Stu and the Trust played a big roll alonsgside Trevor 2020-2021 during the pandemic - that should not be underestimated.

If it is not very important to you then please can I ask you not to post inaccurate information about the club or individuals. The club announced his departure on the 24th June. They issued a statement.
