So it's Carlos ,the recently fired Sheffield Wednesday boss who is now in charge!!
Hardly overwhelming.

In his first season at Sheff Wed he did well, taking them to 6th but they lost in the play-off final to Hull.

Last season (His second) they finished 4th but lost out in the Play-Off semi final to Huddersfield.

This season has been a disappointment and he was sacked with the club in 15th place but 2 play-off places is not a bad achievement.

He's a decent appointment. Whether he can dig them out of their current hole is debatable, but he should help them to make a challenge next season if they go down.

 


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

If I was a Swansea fan I'd be less than impressed. How is a failed Championship manager going to keep them up? To me that's one of the relegation places sorted which can only be a good thing.

Neither were we when CPFC announced Hodgson...

 


We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

Some of us were rather pleased when RH was announced. He is a fine manager. Swansea appear to have thrown in the towel.

Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see

There were supporters whom I talked to who wanted Hodgson appointed when Allardyce left and of course they were delighted when he replaced FDB.

Carvalhal has managed a plethora of clubs but has had a very chequered career.
He had been out of football management for a few years before he joined Sheff Wed.

A strange appointment - they were crying out for a Pulis/Allardyce type of saviour.
If Swansea was us I'd be worried.

 


You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name.

Yes it was a strange appointment & shows lack of ambition. An interesting stat I heard earlier is that Swansea have never appointed a manager with Prem experience since they got promoted.

Also Jenkins said earlier that there are no funds available for new players unless they sell 1st.If I was a Swans fan I would be very worried with that statement because they got about £60m in the summer selling Sigurdsson & Llorente & didn't invest much of it in the team plus they also lost about 90% of their goals from the previous season.

I live in Swansea & the fans are very angry with Jenkins & the Yank owners,they seem to be asset striping the club ready for relegation.
