I'm not a religious man but PRAISE THE LORD !
The hard work starts now though
The new appointment needs to be spot on and let's face it, Lerner's track record ain't good in that department
Anyway, one obstacle has been removed
I think the players will be as relieved as I am
Anyone for Laudrup ?

Yep Mendax I don't mind him at all.

Short term anyone for alex ferguson

Laudrup is okay, but I think that Claudio Ranieri is even better. Ranieri is without a job.

{Ed007's Note - There were a lot of major problems behind the scenes at Swansea and most of them stemmed from Laudrup himself and some of his ideas and methods, he left them in a terrible mess. Laudrup was sacked after taking an unauthorised personal trip to France and giving players two days off after losing to West Ham, a game that the board felt was very important in the relegation battle. There was stories of players boozing etc on trips, he introduced a bizarre ruling that a maximum of 3 Spanish players could sit together at any table in the club canteen when they had lunch and on a training camp to Dubai the only rule set out to the players was the time they had to be on the bus to go to a 2 hour training session, the rest of the time they could do what they wanted, you can imagine what a crowd of wealthy footballers would get up to.
That's only some of it, oh and I almost forgot - he refuses to take training if it's raining.}

Hi Ed.
When you put it like that, not a good option then.
It has to be Glen Hoddle for me then.
We all say things we regret and maybe JUST maybe it was taken slightly out of context.
I don’t agree with a lot of things some people say, and the truth is most of us would be out of work if everything we had said in the past was taken into account.
Hoddle does after all know how the game should be played, and I think he would give us the entertaining team that we are all craving.

We have 13 games to get us out of trouble, that means someone who can work miracles very quickly
Glen Hoddle maybe a good choice but can he turn it around that quick?
We may have to be careful who we wish for!
I hope for once Learner gets it right as it's now up to him if we stay up or not!

WozdVilla.
I am not wishing for anyone, I am just suggesting someone.
That problem will apply to anyone we get in mate.
Anyone we get in faces the same task.
So why not Hoddle.

The manager has gone but the coach remains.
Now let us see what the head coach can do and what has he been doing this season?
Seems too late but we can hope that whoever comes to VP will get the results required.

I've never been a 'Sack the manager' fan. But 3 weeks ago Carlos Gil looked like a great player. Last night he looked like he'd be lucky to get a Sunday league game. Time for a manager who makes players better please!

WISH GRANTED!

The club will announce a new manager in due course.


this is on the club website - to me, that sounds like they have someone lined up.
