BFIFOLLOW Swansea

Love to know who made the decision to extend Bowen`s contract, FFS all we needed to do was give him till the end of the season. clubs run by fools.

We are a basket case of a club. An £18 million loss in 2018/19. For a club our size that’s scary stuff. Whoever comes in has struggled. Our finances are a mess, we have had a bloated, overpaid squad for years, we sack managers after a year, attendances are dwindling.
We used to laugh at clubs who behaved like this. Sadly we are now one of them.

Ejaria probably not coming back due to club finances.

Predictable.

[Jackson Corner]

Just a oxf*rd shambles of a club. We will be next season’s Hull. One home win in thirteen. Season ticket? The players can’t be arsed then why should I.

One home win in 14

That is just plain embarrassing.

[Simmops]

If we aren't in a good enough place (top 10) with 6 games into next season that is it for Bowen.

Ejaria probably not coming back due to club finances.

Predictable.

First half of the season the reported £3.5million looked a bargain.
Second half he's not been anywhere near as good, and so I'm less fussed. Financial stability should be number 1 priority. While Dai has plenty of money, who knows if Chinese money will be able to reach the UK soon due to the political situation.

How embarrassing for us.

We are going to end up like Hull City aren't we?

I wouldn't bet against it

[Notts Royal]

Can't be bothered to comment on the game. But congratulations to Swansea. I don't like them and we gifted them 4 goals but the table doesn't lie. Deserved to finish 6th.

As for us. The sooner we have a clear out the better. This summer there needs to be a change in scouting strategy. Do the owners actually have a plan for how the club want to play? to me, they seem to throw cash at it and hope for the best. Until they change their approach or they sell to someone who has a bit of an idea how to run a football club then we'll always be a shambles I am afraid.

Be careful what you wish for. Great to have a clear out but what on Earth will they be replaced with? As you’ve suggested, the owners don’t seem to have a plan and I’m stunned they’ve been exempt from criticism from the fans. The issue is at the top & until it’s sorted, the issues on the pitch won’t differ much

Meh. I think we only need one of Ejaria, Swift and Olise.

[windermereROYAL]

McNulty, Meite, Joao, Baldock and Puscas up top next season, seems too many, I reckon we will sell the Romanian.

[paultheroyal]

That wage bill will be obliterated

[Westwood52]

Keep wondering what Nigel Pearson's stock is like at the minute. Definitely take him if it was possible.

Agreed.At least with him,every player would know that only their best will do.

Agree with this. I’d prefer to keep Swift than Ejaria based on consistency of performance alone. But not if his head has been turned, and who can blame him?

Some laughable comments I’ve read about time to give the youth who will fight for the badge a chance. Loader didn’t fight for the badge; and Bowen has given plenty of the youth appearances this season. It’s more the experienced players who are the issue...need to sort that out

[royalp-we]

Our defence / attack didn’t look great, but it was all subject to an abject midfield who wouldn’t protect the defence or provide any chances.

So what you're saying is, apart from our defence, midfield and attack, we were quite good?

Nope, what I’m saying is; the midfield did nothing to protect the defence - and nothing to support the attack.

Our midfield (as much as our fans love them, much like Jose Gomes really) have not been good enough this year.

[JimmytheJim]

Ejaria will go on to be an excellent footballer. He's fat from the finished product but we will regret missing out on him in the long run. However, if it means we stop playing midfielders out wide, it's not such a tragedy. I'm not sure what the squad is going to look like next year but getting the wage budget under control has to be the priority. If that means no ejaria, so be it.

[URZZZZ]

Role of Pele emphasised in the squad, in the last 4 games without him we’ve conceded 13 goals, yet with the last 3 games he’s played, we’ve conceded 0. Missed someone who can sit and hold for a while now, hope we don’t try and convert Rino there as it restricts his capabilities

Other than that, not much to add, Olise looked better tonight but Richards put his 1 in 3 liability game on show. Meite and Puscas were weak and ineffective as a duo once again, and Bowen didn’t seem to have a clue on how to adapt to ongoing changes in the game

How dense are you lot? We can't afford the current squad we have, how are you even suggesting we can afford to fire our current manager and hire, an as of a week ago, Prem manager?

Whilst we're at it I reckon Zidane might do a job here. Whats his current stock?

This has been an issue for years now - a good holding midfielder. Rino just isn't that good/doesn't play that role. For me that alone would take an average/poor side to a decent/good side in this division.

Agreed - I'm really not sure why it has been. I (and others) have been saying this for fcuking years. The last time our midfield really looked like it could control games was when we had Leigertwood in there.

It's really not that fcuking difficult a concept to grasp is it?
