AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 When you consider that Swansea finished 7th last season then it shows that with a half decent squad you can still have a very good season, but you need a good manager who has a squad which is tailored to his preferred style of play. We have neither. Although we previously finished 5th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Technically there's nothing stopping Ashley spending the whole new TV money allocation on players or at least a large proportion of it. I wouldn't mind if he was still looking for value in the market, what would be wrong is not buying the 2/3 players that would see us having a decent season (top 6-8) without too much angst or fear...

Parky Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Even replacing the squad players we have lost would be handy That would be a start. I'd like another creative player for when Hatem needs a rest/inj and another forward bare minimum. We could give it a go with that.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yes in revenue, in debt, in anything you care to use to measure it. We're the 20th richest club in world football and the 6th richest in England in terms of revenue. We are also guaranteed at least 25 million pounds extra tv revenue in the next twelve months which will propel us up that world table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but we have over £100m in debt and up until a couple of years ago were losing £30m+ a year. That's a fact isn't it? So either we need affordable debt sources or Ashley needs to use his own money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Come on fella's it's the exact same argument as yesterday, just in a different thread. You two are never going to agree over it, so maybe just let it go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have neither. i'd like the facepalm explained brett, disgrace tbh Facepalm explaination: Basically Swansea have had one good year under Laudrup, finished 7th. We had our good year under Pardew finished 5th. He then went on to fail last season. We don't know how Laudrup will get on this season yet but Pardew has proved as well with a 'half decent squad you can still have a good season' but everyone is in sort of agreement he isn’t a good manager which makes the original point incorrect (you need a good manager), if it is to believed he is in fact poor.
