Twinport53 Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I live in Swansea, and a fair few people actually want to give Britton the job full time, and he knows the club and "the Swansea way". f*** off is there, or has there ever been, a "Swansea way" ffs. f***ing sick of that term applying to any number of clubs. The "Swansea Way" came in when we were in League One, Kenny Jackett was the manager who got us promoted from League Two and Martinez was his team Captain. Martinez and Jackett had a falling out over the style of play, Martinez wanted the team to play possession football and Jackett preferred a more direct approach. Rumour had it that Martinez used to conduct extra training on maintaining possession, a number of players, including Britton bought into it. This led to a falling out between Martinez and Jackett and brought about Martinez leaving and ending up at Chester. Later that season Jackett quit and Martinez was brought in, he lifted the club from mid table to just missing the play-off's, we needed to win the last game and we lost something like 6-4 against Blackpool, who went up through the play-off's that year. The following year we played possession attacking football, something Martinez was good at but defending was not our highlight. It was something unusual in League One which is why it became known as the Swansea way and we won the League. We maintained that way, each following manager added something, Sousa added a defence, Rogers combined it all and Laudrup gave us that bit a flair. It stopped when Monk took over, the first year with Monk he continued what Laudrup started and we finished our best position in the Premier League. The next season he changed the way we played and basically the rot started there. Guidolin should never have been sacked, Bo Bradley was a joke and Clement had his feet kicked from beneath him by the summer destruction of our attacking line-up. We are where we are now and most expect relegation and the blame is being pointed generally in the direction of Huw Jenkins the Chairman. The fact the "Swansea way" began while a player you had on the books still plays today, proves it's not really a way, is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Didn't realise Sevilla have sacked their manager, seems a strange one, not least because he's got cancer. Tin hat theory: Maybe he was going to have to resign due to the cancer, but the club said they'd sack him instead so he gets the pay off. Why not just let him resign AND give him the pay off? And bypass the looking like cunts for sacking a man with cancer bit. No self respecting club in this day and age would ever terminate the contract of a man who’d had cancer. Especially via a phone call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I quite like Monk, he's done more than well enough given his age etc. Boro were probably the wrong club to take over for him. He needs a club where he can stamp his mark and build in a slow and modest way gradually becoming a good team like Hughton at Brighton or Dyche at Burnley.
