Wouldn't bother over there pal. Looks like a school IT project that forum

Well they can't ban him!

Are the owners still under court ordered restrictions? Genuine question as it seems to have gone quiet on that front… We should have good space in FFP especially with the clear out and potting Ismael would be the sensible financial decision should we get a suitable replacement and spend the money to get a proper manager. It’ll cost less in the long run than going to L1. Gestede should be nowhere near a football club, the squad he has assembled will take more than a season to clear out and replace and is a long term issue. We are stuck with the pound land gambles and garbage for now and needs serious investment to turn around. He has done incredible damage with Owen in one summer with the squad revamp and new project. it’s easy to revamp a squad if you’re spending money and can offload players who take up space - but people need to want to take those players off your hands? Hyam, Travis, etc all had their admirers - it’ll take more than a summer to shift some of these current players Sadly feeling completely flat about it all, there’s not even hope in the tank left that things will improve or can change. Pasha needs to go, Gestede needs to go, VI needs to go first thing in the morning and Venkys need to sell. Instead we get gaslit. Gaslit by a manager who always has an excuse ready - “it was the ref”, “injuries”, “results this month not important til players come back from injury” (how does that motivate the current fit players!) Gaslit from owners with dodgy figures including never to be met add ons as proof “significant investment”, “an ambitious £3.5m signing” - WHERE IS THE £? Wharton.. Szmodics.. Hyam.. Travis.. even money was made with fucking Gueye somehow?! Lindsay T who calls fans drug addicts and deflects And worst of all - Pasha just ghosts the fans. Fans Forum meetings are a joke along with our pitch, our Blues Bar with no Sky Sports (at a professional sports club) it’s a horrid joke

He’s performing slightly worse than Owen Coyle. History about to repeat itself.

Absolutely

Remember it was predominantly garbage last season before the self-inflicted exodus of players and arrival of Rudy's mates. What was Ismael's excuse then, when the players were good enough?

you can be a poor side but hard to beat,we ar`nt hard to beat and don`t score goals,which is very worrying,i just hope gudjonson comes back firing and the new lad jorgensen develops an understanding with him ,yuki needs a rest,he`s been running on empty for a few weeks now

We lost a lot of players in the summer but not enough to be seeing performances like this for almost the entire season. Other teams have their injuries too and can handle them. The core of the team is not performing under this manager and he's enabling terrible player recruitment. He's part of the problem and needs to go.

I’m about to lose faith in VI after that performance. Incredible that Henriksson was handed another start upfront.

Good question but he will be gone soon !

Terrible manager. He doesn’t have a clue how to turn this around tactically. Just sticking to the same system week in and week out because he hasn’t a clue how to fix it and making no attempt to. Of course, we don’t have the best squad in the league, far from it, but it would be nice to see some sort of fight from the players. They look defeated before a ball has been kicked. You need your manager to lift you, to get the side fired up, so they have the belief they can go and get a result, but he just comes across so negative and lacks any personality. It didn’t help conceding so early today, but watch his reaction, he doesn’t try to motivate the team, instead just turns his back to the pitch. What message does that send? Players like Tronstad who have given their all for this club now look beaten and disinterested. A pure reflection of his managers demeanour. We desperately need a run of good results and that’s not going to happen under VI. Players look at rock bottom.

How can you be more advanced in a process over another club, without making an offer?

Axel Henriksson and Dion De Neve, would not be at any other Championship club. They're playing at the wrong level completely. It's ludicrous they're involved.

The beginning of the end !

Swansea's home record in all competitions this season: 8 wins, 6 draws, 6 defeats Swansea's last 10 games overall: 5 wins (home & away v Oxford, home v Portsmouth, West Brom & Wrexham) 2 draws (home v Birmingham, home v West Brom in the cup) 3 defeats (away at Stoke, Millwall and Coventry)

De Neve & Hendrickson are not professional footballers , in any country!

That's the irony of it. All those clamouring for change and calling the situation out for what it is are branded 'negative'. Yet those who suggest we can expect no better are, in effect, far more negative about the situation yet think they possess the moral high ground.

My prediction is that 'they' will sit back and do absolutely nothing until relegation is confirmed. Then when word gets back to India about another relegation delivered and another £10 million hole in the coffers it will be Gestede and Owen who get the blame at that point and are axed. Dogsbody Suhail will survive though ready to deliver the next incarnation in League One. I don't think they'll try the laptop / continental approach next time, instead it will be academy focus and probably Johnson left to oversee it, knowing full well he'll get patience from the remaining fans due to his background, but most importantly he will be the cheap option again. Another about turn on projects will of course take time to offload the dross Rudy has saddled us with but we like the 'churn' at Ewood with a revolving door of staff and players. All helps towards the '£20 million a year' needed.

As long as it's cheaper and Suhail can get his bonus...

'If it was a normal club ' he wouldn't have made the final interview stage !

The two are clearly linked!

Of course we can do better and after today I think he should go My issue is it will still be Gestede ,Owen and Pasha picking the next guy so can we really expect much better to be brought in? The replacement will still have to read from the same script as Ismael and it will be a similar desperado like Karanka or they will gamble on Vignal from the under 23s. Gestede and Owen should be out the door with him.They chose him and they have led the way with this data led approach to a raft of cheap and shit signings. Any owner with any interest in "their" club would be asking serious fucking questions be surprised if ours even know we are a point outside the bottom 3

‘You suggest someone then’ is such a pathetic comeback, what you’d expect from a ten year old.

Always a bad sign when a manager keeps putting the emphasis bad refereeing decisions. Ismael does it every week. Pure deflection. As if we've won that game otherwise. We're is serious trouble.
