How is Alan Sheehan doing ? on 23:01 - Oct 4 by Fireboy2
Coleman was always going to go and montague deserved to go for taking a holiday during the busiest time of the season for his position.
Its a tad different when it comes down to the manager, for example, williams allegedly lied about his interest in the WBA job, he lasted almost 7 weeks after that incident and got the sack after 7 defeats in 9 games imo caused by his behaviour.
Sheehan has got a fair way to go before the even think about sacking him.
It's open to interception if Montague was asked to stay away or took a holiday without permission.

Sheehan is the heas coach i repeat the ipad people offer advice Sheehan makes the calls or should be....as I said earlier would Tosh have bowed to the ipad folk? Maybe Williams wasnt the.problem it was the same ipad folk who are here now as last season?

Are you seriously suggesting that anyone other than Sheehan is responsible for deciding substitutions?
Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Or should be? Was football governed by stats when Toshack was here? We have a different support staff to when Williams was here.

I think he is doing ok but not great but he’s still learning the job of head coach /manager and he needs a bit more time He definitely needs to improve his tactics ,team selection and substitutions but these come with experience and the coaches he has around him should be helping him with this part of the job ,so they need to improve as well What is concerning is that many posters on here have commented on the space and time our fullbacks give wingers for weeks but Sheehan seems oblivious to what everyone else sees and hasn’t done anything about it,other teams seem to mark our widemen tight,he must see that ,if they can do it so should we Some of his substitutions are baffling and He always waits until the hour mark to make them,even when it’s obvious we need changes earlier ,today for example ,Cullen struggled yet played an hour and Stamenic looked lethargic ,constantly passed the ball backwards and needed replacing,yet played the full game We need to see an improvement

Whatever happened re montague the owners look at the sheehans position totally different to montagues.
Without a doubt but don't be fooled they are ruthless. I am glad they are, they want success more than recent owners and financially have backed the manager and their expectations are very high. I hope Sheehan gets the improvement needed, mid table is not acceptable by supporters or owners this season.

its the principle would tosh have been swayed by someone aaying the olayer has run too much? Gilo had a lot to say about these data dricen subs and the effect it can have on a player.
My mum came with me today. She’s blind so it was alright for her. I have to describe the game for her. Frankly it’s lucky she knows f all about football.
Anyway we went to Cyprus once, for winter sun, and it snowed at sea level for the first time in 45 years. I can remember playing tennis with frozen balls. We went for a coffee in some dodgy cafe where they were cooking rats as I recall. On the way home mum had to stop to squirt out a load of “bright yellow piss” from her arse in front of a load of builders onsite and dad whacked me and my brother for laughing so much. I’ve not been back to Cyprus, prefer Spain.
I feel better now!

On the match day thread, Vetchonian is saying he doesn’t want Sheehan sacked, but he might not be the man yo take us forward.
I kind of agree to be honest, I don’t think he’s near to sacking territory, but we’re just treading water and he’s nowhere near getting the best out of his players. The team spirit seems to be there and that’s no doubt down to him, but he doesn’t seem to get his team selection or his tactics right often enough.
If I’ve counted correctly, he had 17 points from his first 9 games last season with a much weaker squad. He overachieved then, I think he’s underachieving now.

I don’t think any head coach in football has the final say on transfers. Very rare.

It wasn't just Galbraith who was missing yesterday there was also Inoussa and Yalcouye. Playing at home against a relegated Prem side we should be playing our strongest 11. There is no game for 2 weeks now, they can't be that tired. We won't get bigger crowds by playing a second string side in the big home games and losing. And we won't be in the play offs unless we can win more consistently. 3 wins all against the bottom 3 isn't good enough. I'd give him 5 more games to see an improvement

Looking at yesterday's starting 11, there was only 2 players that weren't in the team last season. Burgess for Darling and Stamenic for Grimes. Grimes is now a starter for the team at the top of the table. If I was an owner what I'd be most annoyed about is that he is not utilising the best players in big games at home

Sheehan earned the job with the performances & results when he was temporarily in charge. Williams, Duff & Martin were not exactly hard acts to follow.
We have a stronger squad than last season.
He is showing inexperience & seems slow to react to situations. He is negative with some of his tactics, substitutions & team selections.
The owners should be casting an eye around to see who fits the profile to get more out of this squad. Sheehan needs to improve and quickly or pressure on him will build. He has gone from overachieving to underachieving

I believe it's too early to look at replacing him. The 'first 11' if there is such a thing would include Burgess, Galbraith, Inoussa, Yalcouye and Stamenic. Those five were on the pitch at the end of the game yesterday. That's half the outfield players so i'm willing to accept, at the moment, that it's partly to do with the players gelling and not just team selection or substitutions.
The interesting thought to me is what the owners will think if they decide to replace Sheehan. Over the last 6/7/8 years the owners have appointed up and coming managers. That seems to have become the automatic thing for the Swans to do. But if Sheehan fails are they just going to do the same thing which hasn't achieved results previously ? That wouldn't really make sense as they appear to be very ambitious and they expect success for their investment.
So would they change tack and employ an experienced manager. The first question that springs to mind is cost. Paying off the current coaching staff then giving contracts to a new group is expensive.
But so what. There was talk in the week about the wage Idah is on. I'm certain he's not on £40K but it's probably £20K. And i'm equally certain that Sheehan is on a fraction of that.
We know the most important person by far on the football side is the manager. So if big money is to be spent on players then why not on the next manager.

I can assure you no Swans player is on anywhere near 40k a week.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

100% behind this John. It’s time to change the managerial policy and bring in someone who has the necessary and relevant experience. We’ve had our fingers burnt too many times recently but still seem to think there’s a Martinez or Rodgers waiting to be exposed.
It comes with its own problems of course but I think there’s largest piece of this jigsaw is the managerial position so let’s get it right from the top down.
I’m not saying today, I think Sheehan deserves more time. But the next time we recruit a new manager / head coach let’s look at it differently.
I've not seen anything of the last two games so I'm not going to comment except to say that it was disappointing to lose two goals in last 10 mins or so, were Leicester that good or did we just switch off and reverted to trying to keep what we had at 1-1 ??

And as ive said the manager position is a little different.
If it gets worse re our form it will take longer to change the manager as its the most important position on the playing front.
For me I thought we would be doing a bit better than we are. 15 points would be an acceptable return from.9 games. 12 is not great though so in golf terms 3 over par after 9 holes. The performances are bang average build up is reverting to slow motion again which is a big concern for me. The high tempo was the reason most of us were happy he got the job.
We now have better players but we have regressed.
Not convinced by us without the ball either we give teams too much time and space.
For me there needs to be a marked improvement we spent close on 20 mil.in the summer and we should be doing better.
I think we are missing a strong leader as Captain. Cabango isn't the answer. It needs to be someone who is demanding the most from the players around him for the full 90+ minutes. I dont see Cabango doing that
