What is the source of this report ?
One hears quite a few linked with the job!!!!

Cooper lives in an apartment opposite the marina in Swansea whilst his family are resident in North Wales.
Swansea are well-placed for promotion to the PL, there would be compensation involved and I suspect he might well wish to continue with the Swansea project in his native Wales.

The source of the story is that bastion of veracity the Sun!
Other outlets have now picked up on it.
He has a good track record of working with young players so would fit the profile if this is the direction we plan to take.
I hope the story has some legs.
We must have exhausted the list of old school English managers with Pulis, Pardew, Allardyce and Hodgson.
Only Bruce remains - and we tried him before!

I am in agreement.

When a central defender makes a complete hash of a routine ball in the box and then doesn't either have the desire or mobility to get out to the opposition player who has made space for himself it is little wonder that the ball finds itself in the back of the net.The same player turned sideways in the second half when a player shot but on this occasion the ball went wide.

At Leeds another defender too slow to move out to challenge a player and the ball deflects onto the net.
I see defenders from other teams putting their bodies on the line and make blocks but ours found wanting in this respect.

Furthermore when ball from is headed in from within the 6-yard box with the goalkeeper routed to his line and the team being abject at defending corners the formation does not play a part in such matters.

One can play 3-5-2, 4-3-3, 4-4-2 or whatever other formation, if one cannot perform the basics then one is deep in the merde which is where we are a present.

I have supported the club for over sixty years, along with many others I’m sure, but after yesterday’s performance I had to come on here and put my point.
In all those years I have seen some diabolical performances but yesterday it wasn’t just the team it was Roy as well. If a manager sees his or her team playing like that they show compassion, drive and encouragement to try to get their team playing but watching Roy yesterday was uncomfortable he clueless staring into space turning to the dugout saying a few words and looking back at play with the same blank look on his face. Now if you are a player looking for some direction you look at your manager. Roy has been good for the club under the circumstances but the question is has time and enthusiasm run its course, saying you are enthusiastic and being enthusiastic are two different things.
Roy would make a reasonable press officer talking to the press and tv so there’s an opportunity in the club there, just a suggestion.
Who replaces him is another topic, but if Steve doesn’t act quickly those available or who would consider the club could get snapped up. I should imagine their first question to Steve would by how much money have I got to spend and I would like to look at your academy players.
I don’t want to offend anybody but I feel it has to be said, rant over let’s hope things improve when Ray L returns.....

You would think playing 442 would produce more goals. We've basically been playing with 3 forwards and eze, and rarely look like scoring. While also weakening the midfield. surely to god this shows the tactics aren't working. He changed it once against wolves and we looked so much better, then back to 442.
