I see the US consortium are being blamed for every wrong decision. I doubt Bradley or any of the other players or managers were their choice as they have been arms length on the playing side of things. More. likely Jenkins trying to get in their good books. It appears they are being more involved recently, after local management wasn't up to the job and their focus on DC United is allowing more time to concentrate on us and their main company work.
The very reason they should sell up and bugger off if they think DC Utd are more important than us!!

You don’t think Bradley was their choice? You think anyone with half a clue about football would have put him in charge of a Premier league team?

When Cooper presented an FAW licence course in 2013, he spoke in-depth about his tactical approach and the importance of believing in systems. Cooper described how he sees the game:
“I pride myself on having a clear view of when the team is getting it right and where I want them to go, but also the bits to get there. So how do you train the game-model, for example? Pep taught me to create a vision and build back up to it. More than anything, once you’ve got your vision, once you’ve got your steps to get there, with your periodisation of training, the type of practices that you use, the individual profiling of players, then stick to it. You need to have belief in it.
This is similar to a video I watched by Arnie Schwarzenegger about having a vision = once you’ve got your vision, you need to believe in it and stick to it:

Monk did that!!! The vision has to be achievable and relevant to the task at hand, but most importantly is has to bought into by those you are seeking to take with you.

Maybe you're right, maybe not. This guy could be the next gem for all we know, or he could be a flop. I'd 100% back the views of Birch/Curt/Leon over the Americans though.
Definitely! I think it's mad how one minute people reckon the Yanks are taking the cheap option, the next people reckon the Yanks are over-ruling as they don't want a cheap option.

People will find any angle they can to moan about the Americans.

'England under-17s boss Steve Cooper is the current front-runner for the job, but his appointment will now likely rest on the opinions of Swansea’s American owners, who may yet decide that the Pontypridd-born coach doesn’t have the necessary experience needed to take the club forward.'
Apologies Should have written, 'reportedly'.
Could it be argued that the owners also lack certain features needed to take the club forward?

The yanks definitely had a say in the Bradley appointment.

Monk was at that FAW licence course in 2013.
having a vision, a plan how to get there, a belief, and sticking to it, this technique has been around forever. I read years ago that Arnie was one of the best examples of it.
Cooper was taught it by Pep Segura, when he worked with him. Cooper has said that it's 'what I pride myself on now.' So he may well be an expert at it (or believe he is). It's easy to dream about achieving things, but without a detailed plan how to get there, and knowing exactly what your doing, dreaming alone is useless.
The point about the 'Naysayers': there are always those who will say that it can not be done, they will say that someone is going to fail, or that they will not get anywhere. Naysayers are now doing this with Cooper, similar to when Potter was appointed, here are a couple of examples (there were loads):
PunCrock 4 Jun 2018 18:21 5 Let's hope Potter makes midwinter, but I've got a feeling it will go a bit bizarre.
YeOldPhart 4 Jun 2018 18:55 24 I hope he leaves his family in Sweden and doesn't uproot them for a few months in South Wales. He'll be fired by Xmas or March when they are struggling due to lack understanding of his methods .

I'm sure the same sort of comments were made last year on Potters appointment.
'Inexperienced, no learning ground, sh1t squad etc
Seems we have a few fans never willing to give a manager and players 10games to see how the land lies.
Our first season in a while without beaky trying to buy his brand of players. Or get goalies from fukin Australian leagues
If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious.

Are people seriously backing Birch? Do they think he's got the best interests of the club at heart? We are truly f@cked. I love Curtis, but when has he ever been involved in manager recruitment? Cooper doesn't give a shit for us, he's a Bassey and so is his father. We are going down again.

Let’s just take the Cardiff thing out of this for a minute. He’s a rookie manager desperate to make a name for himself.
The idea that any manager wouldn’t give his all for a club because of where he’s from is ludicrous. Even more so for one who will either use us a stepping stone or disappear back to coaching age grade teams. If he gets this job it will be absolutely massive for him.

I think we're all a bit sceptical aren't we, but at the end of the day kids or no kids, Liverpool do not employ chancers to run their academy, and the guy moved on from that position to win a world cup with England U17's. You can bet your life that both him and Mike Marsh will want to grasp this opportunity with both hands and give it all they've got. Let's get behind them both. You never know, we might just have found the next Clough and Taylor in the making.

Excellent post!
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

John Toshack couldn't be reached for comment.
I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Exactly Gary. I could understand negativity if we were going to appoint Mark Bowen.
This may or may not work, but let’s at least drop the ridiculous criticism about him being from Pontypridd, his dad being a twà t etc and give him a chance to prove himself.
I was hoping for a young manager, looking to make a name for himself who played decent football. I’d be happy with Cooper.

The American market, it's rich pickings, short term maybe.
The Premier League is a global market.
MLS is pocket change by comparison, but it is a much safer investment given that all member franchises are centrally backed with no relegation and teams only have to worry about one or two designated players as high earners.
