And this is after a comprehensive review of the votes. Is this entitlement on what certain people ‘think we should have’ as opposed to entitlement from the likes of Ipswich fans regards what ‘they had’ last season ? I choose them as a very entitled supporter base as we saw when Burgess signed. Much of these comments on social media are made by people from the younger range but it has been repeated here to an extent. I’m unsure if he has many lives left in the minds of those who already don’t want him. |  |

Most i suspect are of the younger age, only remember the successful period from the late noghties until we got relegated As we know there are several older fans who expect more, lucky I like alot remember the sh!t times in the 70s and 80s so are more accepting. |  | |  |

At the moment I don't want him gone FB but I do think we should have done better this season. Sheehan in my opinion has made some very poor decisions in team selection and substitutions it needs to improve. If we are around the same position at Christmas with the same mistakes being made i think it will be not only supporters asking questions. I really hope we see an improvement. |  | |  |

I agree by Xmas when we would have played over 20 games and he is making mistakes then it needs to be looked at. But after 9 games? Jeez 🙄 |  | |  |
Swans travel south plus Sheehan poll reaction and early team news on 13:40 - Oct 16 with 994 views | Azzuriswan | The directors have invested quite heavily in this squad so far and I would assume they are expecting a positive position high up the league in the play offs if not in the top 2. We are mid table at the moment and would probably have been higher if concentration levels in 3 of the home games had not wilted causing dropped points. I can vividly remember the old days at the Vetch when signing players was a rarity and we just got on with watching our new free transfers doing their bit......times have changed and expectations mean we must achieve promotion to the promised land. I for one am happy to be a solid Championship team |  | |  |

I think it comes out of frustration, the way we set up against Leicester was just not good enough, 4-1-4-1 with Stamenic trying to cover defencive midfield across the width of the pitch was ridiculous, he should have changed it earlier with Galbraith or Franco working with him an only one AM. Then he seems to react to the other teams substitutions instead of being proactive. But its very easy to manage from the stands |  | |  |

I don't feel we must achieve promotion. I think pushing the play offs this season and a real crack next season is fair considering the clubs outlay and ambition. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Agree with you,he’s relatively inexperienced and will learn from every game and his coaching team needs to help more as well,so let’s be patient and keep cheering the boys on Football fans in general have unrealistic expectations for their side and let their frustrations get the better of them,our fans are no different As you say if there is no improvement by Christmas then questions will be asked and not just by the fans ,those in charge will definitely be on the case As I said let’s hope we start seeing improvements and all the Debbie Downers can go back in the shadows COYS |  | |  |

No Swans fan should ever dismiss the fact these very successful businessmen come with a ruthless streak. They are successful for a reason. |  |

A few younger ones for sure. A few malcontents who still hanker after the dull yet somehow "pure" football played by the likes of Russy and Williams, even if the stats show that we're still one of the more frequent passing sides in the division. I'm fairly on the fence but mostly still in the "pro" camp. I just think he needs to be braver with his team selections and tactical choices. |  |

The older ones I am on about are the ones that will never be happy, nothing to do with Russell and Williams. I too agree with him being braver, I suspect as ive said hes relying on stats rather than using his gut feeling which imo got us playing so well last season with a weaker squad. |  | |  |

My feeling is give him more time but my concern is that the old saying "spoilt for choice " is the elephant in the room ,we have on a paper a strong squad one which is creating an imbalance in the managers mind and which is reflected on his team selection. |  |

There’s no doubt he should and will be judged as a manager who has had massive investment into the squad (by our standards). They are also sensible enough to realise it takes time to build an effective team when you bring in ten or so new players at the same time with most of them being in first team contention. He shouldn’t be anywhere near the sack and while I’m confident these owners will have contingency plans in place, I doubt they are exploring them too aggressively at the moment. It needs to pick up though. He got the job on the back of doing a lot better with a much weaker squad last season. He needs to get back to those levels at a minimum. |  | |  |
