I'm hesitant to comment on whether or not clubs like Swansea should be sacking their manager - after having suffered two and a half years of being told, by everyone, how lucky we were to have a manager who made me hate football. But from a very distant viewpoint, binning Monk at this point would seem slightly premature; they're going through a bad spell for sure, but I thought they were all building together?

 

This.  Fans of other teams and pundits who only know about the SKY 6.  Usually like to bleat on about how wrong it is to sack the manager, they should stick with him etc.  I always thought Monk was a fairly strange appointment and possibly a risky one.  They haven't progressed under him and now they appear to be going backwards. 

 

Did OK until first international break, then

 

Lost - Watford (A) 0-1

Drew - Everton (H) 0-0, lucky to not lose

Lost - Hull (A) Cup 0-1

Lost - Southampton (A) 1-3

Drew - Spurs (H) 2-2

Lost - Stoke (H) 0-1

Won - Villa (A) 2-1

Lost - Arsenal (H) 0-3

Lost - Norwich (A) 0-1

Drew - Bournemouth (H) 2-2

Lost - Liverpool (A) 0-1

Lost - Leicester (H) 0-3

 

The games have been getting worse to watch as well, with hardly any shots on goal (from us).

 

We are now a week or two from slipping into a relegation spot.

 

 

That is worrying.  I think I'd be wanting our manager gone with form like that.  6 points from a possible 33, plus a cup loss to a lower league team?!  That is :carverlick: form. I'm not even sure Pardew went on a run quite that bad?  He'd just have his insane 5-6 wins in a row.  Coupled with 5-6 losses in a row.  But to be that bad for 12 games, is a massive worry.  It's not like they've had a really horrible set of fixtures, either.

 

From the 29th of December 2013 to the 4th of October 2014 he did this.

swansea interested in Sampaoli apparently.

 

Cool - another club who would have a manager I wished we had.

 

He seems to have done such a good job with Chile, I'm surprised no-one has gone after him already to be honest.

Guest neesy111

we've endured some of the worst football anyone could imagine coupled with results so bad...that we've somehow made it worse each year from 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. f*** :lol:

 

It's actually amazing that we've managed to continually get worse year on year.

 

Yet still stay up.

That point at Norwich mind. :megusta:

 

I remember defending that point at Norwich where we barely crossed the half way line but it all depended on the result at home to Reading.  Reading was my turning point when he took Marv off for Fishguy then 5 minutes later Cabaye asked to come off as he had just returned for a fairly long spell out.  We went on to lose the game 2-1.  That was my line crossed.
