Kim Hellberg : The money factor means new Boro link
HammarbyIF head coach, Kim Hellberg has taken a late turn in his decision as to which club to choose from his available suitors. And money it seems may have sealed the deal. Michael Carrick believed to have been on a million pounds a year was Boro head coach. He was sacked recently.
Reports in Sweden are revealing that Hellberg has made a quick turn on Swansea City and will be heading to Middlesbrough. Allegedly he will be revealed kater this afternoon. Despite him uldating his news story this seems to be pretty clear.

Sport Expressen journalists are believed to have spoken to Hellberg’s agent.
🔴 Update : Hellberg agreed a deal with Swansea City in principle as he did with Middlesbrough. Norwich City late last week decided against pursuing him. We have been informed that the salary on offer at Middlesbrough was the same as Michael Carrick which if correct is double what Swansea City offered. That may well have been something that increased over the weekend when Middlesbrough saw the Swans were in first place to get Hellberg. There has been no official announcement either from the Swans or Middlesbrough.
🔴 News now is he will be announced between 4pm and tomorrow at midday. Your guess is as good as ours.
🔴 Work permit applied for.
More on this as we get it updated.

Swansea City : Jack Butty sails again with his cannons primed The vultures were circling overhead. The bleached bones of the dead lay all around. Wait…a movement…a moving hand. A hen peckered face turns to the light and screams out, ‘Jack Butty here. I’m back with my latest missive from the defiles of dreadful duplicity.’ The cheers of voices were raised. Jack Butty looked around, ‘You lot can pipe down. You’re all gonners and gooners.’ And so, it came to pass…
Swans collapse in a disastrous seventy five minutes of football A brilliant start from Swansea City this afternoon dived into another order from the menu of disastrous football. Starters of no idea after fifteen minutes, with a main course of incompetence and a big desert of stupidity. They are now equal third bottom with Portsmouth who the Swans play at home on Tuesday 9th December (7:45pm) after a home game next Saturday against Oxford United (3pm)
Big game weekend : Players, Focus, Mason v Matos & a reality check Swansea City travel to the midlands today with one focus, do not lose the game and begin to rebuild the fans confidence in the team. By all accounts Vitor Matos has identified two glaring errors in the Swans training processes prior to his arrival, the more astute will have picked them up in this weeks public conversations.
Vitor Matos : Counter press, counter press, counter pressVitor Matos took his first full training session today prior to the West Bromwich Albion game at the Hawthorns on Saturday (3pm) With tickets still on sale for the fixture at generous prices the Swans can again expect a noisy supoort for this game.
Swansea City : The glaringly obvious and Matos agrees Vitor Matos saw a determined Swansea side for the first half an hour of last nights defeat against Derby County. The Rams made it their third win away from home for the first time in five years. Thereafter we saw a tepid display of poor control and a lack of endeavour which is creeping into the Swans play in recent games.
