Because before the poor job he has done at Swansea, I'd never heard of him. Without using Google. My impression of him was hugely positive when he was appointed and that was validated when he was able to guide Swansea to safety taking over at a time when they were in freefall and in danger of relegation in a season where competition for survival was fierce. Swansea looked solid last season with Guidolin at the helm and that's why I consider him better than a "good possible option". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nutshell that is the biggest issue for me, other than results. 23 minutes ago, mykeyb said: If we were 2 goals clear with 5 minutes to go we would be safer, he doesnt seem to drive the players on for the goal that would kill the game. 1 I agree. The question I have is can RDM let go of this overly defensive sitting game he has adopted, which doesn't seem to suit us. We need to go back to playing a more attacking pressing game that exploits the talent we have (e.g. Rotherham, Forest). We should be scoring more goals with players like Ayew, Kodjia, McCormack, Gestede, Adomah and Grealish. We get on top for periods every game, but it often comes too late or we go all defensive when we score. We have to keep pressing and attacking and trying to kill teams off. Have a solid back four and a few holding players, but our overarching mindset should be to press higher and keep trying to score. That mindset would stop us trying to hold on to these slender leads and capitulating. It sounds arrogant, but go out there with the intention of scoring 3 or 4 goals and don't be satisfied until you have done it. We all know one goal is never enough for us so don't settle, keep attacking until there is no way back for them. If play teams that way I am convinced we will win far more than we lose, even if we concede a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, how about 4 defeats in 5 and on the verge of the sack once the new manager bounce wears off? With Liverpool to come at the weekend. I've agreed with a number of things recently, but can't get my head round this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also drew with Chelsea and won their first match away at Burnley. Sacking him would be the wrong decision for Swansea. They won't get relegated under him and I doubt anybody they replace him with would do any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong, could lose next 7 games and still get promoted, this league is tight right to the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) If Gollini didnt make a few mistakes that he did that cost us goals, would people still be shouting for RDMs head?

NottingVilla Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Not one manager in this thread is better than RDM, therefore sacking him would be silly. Why does Rowett keep getting mentioned? LOL! We'd just be sacking for sacking sake, unless someone of really pedigree came available, then it would be a totally pointless and detrimental exercise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not going to go through the merits of every manager mentioned in the thread as it isn't for the fans to find the next manager whenever that may be. If Di Matteo gets sacked after we have played Preston though it will almost certainly mean we will have won one game in 12 and could potentially be sitting in the bottom 3. If those at the club couldn't identify and attract a manager that can do better than that then god help us as we are in deep do do.
