Thread | The so called "Swansea Way"
at 21:36 25 Jan 2015
I was asked a question about this and I think it is important.
What is it and why is it important.
For me it's about ethos and continuity. It has provided us with our 'identity' - in business you would call it a 'niche' in the lower leagues it set us apart we didn't have the capital of other clubs but we had the dynamic play and we had this ethos running through the club.
There has been a noticeable drift in this and many are questioning the merits of staying true to something we held dear back in the lower leagues. I think this is fundamentally misguided.
Why do I say this?
Because this is what made teams "fear" us - they knew that we would give them a game whoever we were playing. They found us very difficult to play against and yet on paper that should not have been the case.
But when this has slowed or we've 'reverted' then there is a causal relationship not just with entertainment, but results. Our style hasn't just been good on the eye, it has been successful. I can sense a change and this is worrying.
We lose our football, we plummet. |

Thread | Monk should have the season

He should never have been given the job but that's history. Get over it so to speak.
But if he doesn't start showing some aptitude in tactics or playing the swansea way then he should get his P45 at the end of the season.
Good lad, but that doesn't equate to being a good manager. You have till the summer Gaz, good luck. |
