its a case of communication with both east & west coast of USA for permission to approach.

How difficult is it actually to communicate with the East & West coast of the US? The number of times that's been trotted out now, I can only assume Swansea have sent someone over on a cruise liner.

True, we deal with companies and individuals on the East and West Coast, it just means being available into the evening :rolleyes:

I think people are getting a bit carried away with this style of football thing... Im not asking for us to play like City or Barcelona over night.

I would however like to see some sort of pattern of play going forward and the odd bloody shot on target... its not much to ask really is it ?

Jeez. Fans. Next it will be goals... :ffsparr:

Its the time difference that makes it slightly more complicated as west coast is 5 hours behind us & the east coast can be up to 8 hours behind us.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they only count it across the WHOLE season. There was a time that Man Utd fans would tell you about the table while Ole had been in charge, as if that made them top 3, or that it meant Ole was the next coming of Sir Alex Ferguson.

We're all judged across the whole season. Cherry picking teh elements of the season that suits a particular narrative is fairly meaningless.

Downward trajectory

KLets not forget Rafa took Newcastle down, Mourhino is just laughable off to PSG

Was a tongue in cheek comment and thought most would understand that. I wouldnt expect and in fact wouldnt want Jose to come to us. But surely with the second half of the seasons performances we have had chance to have a good look around. A more or less unknown untested guy from the championship and lower Swedish league isnt what I would have expected to be number one to replaced the excellent manager and man that Chris is. Mr Potter must be good.

Raffa though, his contract ends soon so why couldnt we have a go at attracting the likes of him? We are are third season Premier League club with a good fanbase, fantastic stadium and owner, state of the art training facilities why shouldnt we aim higher?

Probably been mentioned before, but as Potter hasn’t come out and said he wants to stay at Swansea, he probably doesn’t want to.

because its just ridiculous .

He would go to a club realistically chasing trophies. He stayed with Newcastle out of loyalty and the fact they are a huge club. We can't compete with those who would be trying to lure him back into management whatever people think through their rose tinted glassses

Actually its the other way round. Here in the East Coast time zone its 11.42am which 5 hours behind the UK which is currently 4.42pm. On the West coast its 8.42 am which is 8 hours behind the UK.

So Sam Alardyce it is then

I tell you what...in terms of Premier League consolidation, if that's the realistic priority, and the need to make a proven and "safe" appointment who can build on the work done by CH and leaving aside the defensive football, dodgy dealings etc., Shirley, and I hate myself for saying this, 2 years of Fat Sam would achieve those goals with considerably less risk than almost any other appointment. Just saying'.
