The gameplan is to wait until liverpool get bored. As long as it's not more than 2-0 before half time I fancy McBurnie to win it for us.

What happened to Swansea anyway? Did Laudrup gently caress it all up or was it what came after him?

The Christmas before Laudrup was sacked Huw Jenkins decided he was a football genius and took over all transfer duties.

His first masterstrokes were Marvin Emnes and David N'Gog and the team has been losing quality year on year ever since.

An American hedge fund is somehow the least corrupt and most competent part of the club. They had no idea the lemon they were investing in.

no mention of big monks mutiny?

Things were already heading downhill by then. Laudrup lost interest the moment he turned up to training and had to google who his new Dutchman was. He wasn't going to get the signings he felt he needed to stand still in this league (Aubameyang).

Monk, Taylor and Williams snitching to the media and the chairman about everything they didn't like just sped up Laudrup's exit. Jenkins was looking for an excuse.

Good old Garry didn't quite prove the yes man Jenkins wanted, either. Wasn't shy about having a moan about not getting any of his left back targets after we bought Franck Tabanou.

The only time there was a chance of turning it around was Guidolin; an angel who appeared from heaven to save the club in the first relegation fight. He had the recruitment & development pedigree, and you could see he had a plan b and c when his poo poo squad failed at plan a. Garry, Bingo Bob and PE Paul were clueless outside a single way of playing that got figured out pretty quickly.

But no, the same snakes grassed him up, his ex-Inter Milan fitness coach got warnings when he ignored the expert advice of the sports science undergrad nephews of board members, he was sacked by text on his birthday and they held Bradley's announcement press conference in the lobby of his hotel.

Scum club. Deserves everything it's getting.

There was a Chinese consortium that came in at the same time as the Americans. But they offered slightly less money to the old shareholders and wouldn't let Huw Jenkins keep his position, so that was never an option. Even though they actually planned to invest in the football club and the area. Jenkins and his drinking buddies in the supporter's trust covered that up.

We'll go down, clear out the dross, and hopefully let the u23s have a crack in the Championship for a few years. They play more entertaining football by far.
