Graham Potter to Swansea according to Sky.

Who's that? ???

Östersund's manager. Worked absolute miracles there, taking them from the Swedish third division to knock out stages of the EL, playing mostly really good football and on a shoestring budget, even by Swedish standards.

Highly debatable.

Think I might have a few quid on Stoke coming straight back up with Rowett

 

I rate him myself, he was doing well at Birmingham only to get the boot for Zola and has kind of done well with Derby, but he needs to settle down and build a reputation and stop going from club to club. Stoke could be a good fit for him mind.

Dunno how he plays, but Emery does have quite the impressive resume.

 

Excellent win statistics and his list of honors is admirable.

 

UEFA Europa League: 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16

Ligue 1: 2017–18

Coupe de France: 2016–17, 2017–18

 

Winners are winners.

He could be Arsenal wha Mancini was to City. They probably need a bit of a disciplinarian, someone tactical and someone a bit less expansive or open with a soft Bellew than they were under Wenger towards the last few years if his tenure.

I think he's a bit of a dick, decent manager but from what I think he wouldn't sign at brum because he was trying to get other jobs and he's pretty much ditching Derby instantly

don't have much of an issue with managers doing that tbh, clubs are mighty quick to pull the trigger on them after all so why should they show any loyalty

From what I understand at Birmingham, Zola was lined up well in advance and Rosetta was peddled because the board wanted a name and fancy football. We all know how that turned out. When they came to SJP a game I was at to watch with my Blues supporting cousin they were 5th or 6th and not many points behind us with a good defensive record. We thrashed them 4-0 and it could have been 7. They almost went down that season under Zola. He was treat badly at Birmingham from recollection and based on what my cousin would tell me.

Think Ancelotti is better suited to clubs with big name stats and egos. A good manager for Man Utd.  Dunno what it’s like going from Sarri to Carlo. Bayern players didn’t think raining was intense enough or something.

 

Doesn't Bayern players complaining about his methods mean that he might not be a manager for the big egos anymore? He might be better suited for a Napoli type job now.

He's always been very good at combining steel with talent. An attractive manager he isn't, but he knows how to be effective. PSG job was a hiding to nothing, it's obvious that he was a figurehead in there.

 

I just wonder how he will fit at Arsenal after Wenger. He sports a very different brand of football and I can see things going south if he doesn't come racing out of the blocks and fans/media get impatient.

I still don't get the Swansea hate from Kaiz tbh. [emoji38]

 

They’re a Welsh team in the English league. It’s a horrific anomaly. Either go full UK or stick to your own national leagues. If you have seperate FAs and national teams, you shouldn’t interbreed in your leagues. If Swansea qualified for Europe they’d not take one if the Welsh spots. It’s all anarchy. ANARCHY!

Not really. Their most recent season had their annual budget at £5 million (compared to £350,000 when Potter took over). AIK, Hammarby, Elfsborg, Göteborg, Helsingborg, Djurgården, Kalmar, Hacken, Norrkoping all have from £7.5 million to £22 million a year.

 

 

Their £5 mill were the budget during their surprise EL season. Before that it was even lower. It’s a crazy achievement by Potter and his team.

The Welsh teams entered the English league after being invited by the FA to join almost 100 years ago.

 

We cannot take a Welsh place in any European competition, we did many years ago but that was stopped.
