Was today a massive win? I think it was probably a massive win.

Haha dick. It was the first time in a while we had a complete performance. So refreshing to enjoy a full 90 minutes

Great first half. Awful second. It was painfully obvious Montero needed to be lifted at halftime but Bob waited until 3-0 down to make a switch. Taylor was useless. frick.

Would love 3 this weekend. Will be tough though

Bob can frick off now. I've never seen a team concede like this

What's the deal with Swansea? I mean besides selling all your good players every year and never reloading, of course. Defense seems to be an issue.

The squad is bad. Bob is in over his head. It's Gylfi + 10

Is there any manager that could make this team not suck, though?

Well the defense wasn't nearly this bad under Guidolin. Bobs team is conceding one more goal per game

Plenty. Bob is a complete stylistic break with what made Swansea great. That, combined with the boardroom turmoil, has caused off the pitch problems. That has messed with the product on the pitch.

Also, Bob seems to have no idea what to do about set pieces.

The club has seriously been eroded away. The boardroom shite is rearing its ugly head

And having 3-4 transfer windows where you sell off your best players only to bring in squad reinforcements. If first team players aren't bought in January it's relegation for sure

Then supporters appeared unhappy at players who failed to acknowledge their arduous journey to the north-east after the game.

Wales defender Neil Taylor and Swans full-back colleague Rangel seemed to be the only Swansea players to go over to the travelling Jack Army.

Some supporters had moved to the bottom row of the stand they were in and clearly wanted more Swansea players to come over, yet many disappeared without even lifting an arm to applaud.

Looks like favorites to take over are

Giggs
Paul Clement
Gary Rowett
Harry Redknapp

I'd go for Clement or Rowett. Giggs was deemed less qualified than Bradley in October so don't know what has chenged there. Harry has a history of being relegated despite spending big money. The other two have done well in the championship on small budgets and got fired due to shitty boardroom situations.

Paul Clement hasn't been offered the job......as head coach not manager. Seriously, Huw, GTFO of the club now

Rowett would be a solid hire.

Agreed but I don't know if it matters if Huw keeps control of all the transfers.
