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.

Passed that one into the top corner nicely

@USABlue The shirt came back to me today undelivered. Send me your address on DM and I’ll send it again.

So predictably it seems there is a clique of people out there who are against removing Ismael because 'we wouldn't / couldn't get anyone better' and the usual challenges to people to name options who would realistically come here and do a better job than Ismael in these circumstances. It's more or less the same rationale people come out with for not calling for Venkys out, because they've convinced themselves that there's no other owner or group in the world who could bring more to the party than Venkys. Suggesting those clamouring for a Regime change should first name who would be interested in buying Rovers (of course that's impossible). So presumably then we are just supposed to sit back and enjoy the ride, unable to change anything about the rotten ownership and management of the club because we are the only club in the world that cannot attract new or better ownership or management. It seems part of this is based on prospective managers / owners not going into the media and declaring an interest in Rovers. Such a shame that some people are so negative in their view of Rovers and performance of the club that there is such insistence that this is the best we can hope for. Just accept it and get on with your life. I almost wish I could have such an attitude but I can't. You see in professional support that sort of attitude is unacceptable. There is always a way to improve and get better and you should never accept failure no matter what the causes.

Saw on social media that Leonard was taken to hospital today after a nasty head injury but the lad has posted himself that he's okay 🤞

In a way it's refreshing to hear a manager speak his mind so openly (regarding Glasner's post match comments), but on the other hand... I don't know if that's going to endear him to many chairmen. I'm not sure how many clubs would be comfortable bringing in a manager who may lash out at the board if decisions are made that he doesn't agree with. I had a gander on the Palace forum and their fans don't seem to be too pleased with Glasner's conduct - and that's putting it mildly.

One from today, at a club that’s seen tough times, but has come out of the other side. Keep the faith, our time will come again.

We're not winning. If Jorgensen starts, you never know, we might get 1 on target.

Well, it looks like it IS his job i.e. to take us down...

Going to this as I have never been to the Liberty. Still tempted to find a good pub and just stay in there in lieu.

And Rudy still thinks he’s nailing the job

The manager is just another name in an ever growing list of "if he was at a normal club would he still have a job". We are struggling with numbers but this guy isn’t helping things either!

If we don’t get a goal scorer then there’s a fair chance we are down. If we get one we’ve got a fighting chance of scraping survival.

But what is the point of financial clout if you don’t use it wisely?

I can't even get angry any more. What's the point, it doesn't change anything. I expect it's to be crap. It saves disappointment. We've been run like a joke shop for fifteen years. I think this season yes we're going down. If not this season (and there won't be much in it) then next season. And that would really be it for a long long time. We're may even drop another division after that. Will venues ever for the decent thing and fuck off? Have they ever done anything decent? Bearing on mind you never know who's coming after them, at least of wet got the bastards gone we can start again. But our agency in this situation is precisely zero. Living on hope it's not a good position to be in. I think in the end, they will actually kill the club, given enough time. And even the singles will be sad then, because they'll have no-one left to hate
