  • Paul Clement likely to be appointed as Swansea manager according to the BBC. Seems a brave choice, he did okay at Derby but hardly set the world alight, and a young manager with a reputation for playing passing, attacking football doesn't seem the best choice for a relegation fight.

  • I think thats a good fit, goes back to what Swansea were doing before with young managers but whether he gets a good run of it is a different matter, felt bradley had much more to prove than other european managers simply by being american coz "americans dont understand football"

    oh yeah 13 on the bounce winning the points & happy new year plastics and real fanzzzz.

  • If you think he plays attacking football then you obviously didn't see us while he was in charge at Derby.

    Passing yes. Sideways or backwards. Slow build up. Pass it around the box. Is anyone free for a pass into the box? No? Back to the halfway line.

    He managed to take an exciting, possession based football team with a good goal scoring record and turn us into a boring, shot shy team who would sometimes grind out results or hang on to the 0-0.

    He won't be able to save them. There's no evidence of him turning a team round positively and he got very little respect from the players in the dressing room at Derby. He'll bring his signed Zlatan shirt and hang it in his office and constantly tell the Swansea players they just don't train as hard as Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic and that's how he'll try and motivate them.
