You put your 'dick' where you like, tho dont let certain posters on here know your intentions.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Once Nuno, lost a couple of top men, last summer, and Jimenez, mid- season, he was handling a bang average team.
It wasn’t going that well. And I bet he was pleased to see the back of it when the season ended without Wolves , being in more of a mess due to a decent first half season. . It if anything highlights the idea that any manager devoid of the service of three or four top, top class players to add to a workman like squad will struggle to get enough results fo comfort.
Nuno, can oversee some decent winning football , but if the second half of the season is to be taken seriously, only when the players are up to it. So without investment where would that leave us? Or Nuno, for that matter.

This was so, and it doesn’t make him a bad manager, because things didn’t go at all well without there input.
But it highlights that generally managers are not magicians, and in fact hang there best chance of real success on the ability of quality players,. Yes they need organising , but if the players can not go beyond a certain level, then adaptability can be the only saving grace. Hodgson, had that, does Nuno, ? The second half of this season gone would call that into question.

Liverpool net spend isnt a good example, they are very shrewd in selling players £200m for Courtinho and Suarez, another £50m for Benteke and Sakho, another £40m for Brewster and Solanke.

Mate if it’s going to be NES - Parish will need to move quickly with Everton now looking for a new Manager - like it or not Everton will be a bigger draw than us for NES if they come knocking.

The reported 3 days of negotiations will mean nothing - there ain’t no loyalty or sentiment in top flight football its ruthless and mercenary.

Personally I’d be over the moon with NES - huge step and statement in the right direction - but I’ve got a horrible feeling we’re going to get “gazumpped” by Everton.

If that happens back to the drawing board and time we can ill afford to lose with so many players out of contract and a significant rebuilding job to be done.

Come on Steve get NES signed up..!!

I had a look on a couple of Swansea fan forums to see how they felt about losing Cooper. Seems a lot of them would quite like to see the back of him due to the boring style of play. Hmmmm
