The "experts" on here (and I include myself as well, before anyone takes afront) are all giving opinions on the merits or otherwise of all the various possible candidates. I thought about all the appointments I have seen over the years and my reaction to them. The only ones I have thought were good appointments at the time were : Harry Gregg (with his Man U connections how could he fail !). Harry Griffiths (a young hungry local coach with Swans running through his veins). Toshack (obviously !) Terry Yorath. Jan Molby. Michael Laudrup. The appointments of managers such as Frank Burrows, Brian Flynn, Kenny Jackett, Roberto Martinez and Brendan Rodgers all left me feeling slightly underwhelmed, wanting a better manager for Swansea. I should imagine that's how many have felt over their many years of watching the Swans if they are honest with themselves, yet we still do it now when we look at the names mentioned and say "Oh no! Not him!" Funny old game, as some ex-Spurs player once said. | |
