    Harlan Perry

    At least the Harlan Perry situation is being aired in forums and social media and no excuse can be given by the club that they weren't aware of the player's situation. Having said that its getting nearer to when the transfer window opens and all manner of rumours will be posted!

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Take away the schoolboy errors in yesterday's match at Ashton Gate I thought we were well in the game, as we were at Preston, and when I look at the 4th position Bristol hold in the table, I think to myself. Really! All we need now is a head coach who can organise a defence and select eleven...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    the last thing a club should do is listen to what agents say, a recipe for disaster and was Jenkins's downfall. We are lacking an out and out football man on the current staff who has no agenda apart from making decisions for Swansea City.

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Would we have said the same if Chris Davies(Birmingham manager) had accepted the Swans offer 18 months back.

    Checked out the Arsenal U21 line-ups on, https://uk.soccerway.com/team/arsenal/ngXZTiDH/ Remy hasn't started any U21 fixtures and has only made an appearance in the Cardiff defeat after the Arsenal keeper Rojas had been sent off while in August / September U21 fixtures Remy has regularly been...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    Co-incidentally I came across this podcast / interview on Training Ground Guru and Vitor Matos https://trainingground.guru/podcast/vitor-matos-elite-developer/ The following is just half of the text from the podcast. Starting in coaching Vitor Matos: I was a player at a really low level. Around...

    The ‘Vítor Matos’ Managerial Thread

    In March 2024 we had a Portuguese analyst working for the Swans - Oscar Botelho - who we were led to believe was involved with us signing Gonzalez Franco. Before Gorridge's time at the club but I believe Adam Worth was on the club's books at the time and one wonders if contact was made with...

    the common denominator with all those head coaches is that they all had a sizeable chest of cash to secure top quality loans or experienced footballers. Apart from the occasional PL recruit the Swans market lies in European second division leagues

    https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6786867/2025/11/12/vitor-matos-liverpool-jurgen-klopp-manager/ He must have had the criteria for a work permit as a coach at Liverpool. Doing ok at Portuguese second tier club Maritimo. Is he any less qualified than Brum's Chris Davies who we tried to attract a...

    My admiration for our fans who travel away.. but why do you do it these days ?

    I take my hat off to the much maligned Ugo Valerio Travel Club who has been travelling around the country for a long, long time until he was shafted by the club who thought they could do better.

    There's a trend here we have to break for the future

    Irrespective of the quality in the summer recruitment the writing was on the wall after some insipid performances against league opposition(Stevenage, Cheltenham, Exeter) in the pre-season matches which has carried on during most league games where a consistent performance over 90 minutes has...

    U18 and U21 match coverage

    Yet again there's been no coverage in the OS apart from X regarding match reports on either our 18's and 21's. Come on Gorringe sort it out these are the teams that are producing potential first team footballers. Here is a report from a Watford perspective...

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    At the moment I think its more the system of play that is the problem. No driving midfielder through the centre, all of the play is totally predictable that even a moderate Rangers side took advantage of prior to Yacouye's dismissal.

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    Andrew, I don't have any inside information and all I have done is look how far Worth has come in a short time at the club as against an experienced recruitment officer in Montague and it appears to me that Cravatt is backing Worth. We all agreed that the summer recruitment was very good but the...

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    Oxford brought close on 2000 fans but the home percentage(17700) was almost as high as it was against Hull in a previous match. There is something radically wrong in our quick decline regarding our passages of play and who do you believe, Sheehan or the players. Are the players letting Sheehan...

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    There is no doubt that the second half of season 2024/25 regarding a playing style was the most welcomed since Potter’s second half of his one year tenure, albeit down to one player – Liam O’Brien. He alone instigated an attacking formula and by the end of the season there were rumours demanded...
