If you believe anything you read in the Sun, you've got serious problems. Hes been our best manager by far in 20 years 1)Bryan Laws got sacked by us. His next match was Man Utd v Burnley at Old Trafford, in front of 75,000. 2). Carlos has managed Sporting Lisbon and Galatasary who are both bigger than Sheffield Wednesday. Since when were we a big club? Outside North Sheffield, most people would see Portsmouth, Wigan and Blackburn as bigger than us. He's also played for far bigger clubs than we will ever be. Porto for a start. I predict he will manage a club bigger than us. And do well. You were making good points until you ruined it with the Wigan statement.

After years in the wilderness we reached the playoffs twice, and had some fantastic times, playing some brilliant football. He was also a top bloke, a great ambassador for the club and the only manager I can ever remember getting praise from Unitedites. Even they liked him. The media loved the bloke, and the whole club was lifted. The last 6 months went pear shaped, but the childish language, vile criticism and pathetic put downs on here by a pre pubescent minority is quite disgraceful, and those doing it should be thoroughly ashamed. It would be bad enough directing such bile towards the likes of Irvine and Jones, when the football and ambition was really bad. This is Sheffield Wednesday. Not Leeds, United, Millwall etc. Show some respect, have some manners and grow up. Or do one. That first season the media couldn't get enough. Instead of interviewing him downstairs they brought him up into the studio. They don't do that very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I think he would probably prosper more in the Premier League than the Championship but then again I think Adam Reach is a cr@p player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's managed at top clubs in Europe....and come up short every time. What makes people believe he'd do well in the toughest league in World football? It's a nuts theory.

The Hoppy Hopper Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Good luck to him in whatever he does next. Gave us some good memories; in the end it was time for a change. Swansea would be a hell of a challenge in their current position though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most managers fail in comparison to our fans expectations. There lies the issue. We have short memories. If we hit the premiership a lot of our fans would expect Champions League football. Why would they expect Champions league football? Do you know any that would ? Who are the fans with memory loss? Do you know any of them ? Or did you make it up?

Owlsend Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Be very good appointment for Swansea City very well organised effective manager which Swansea need in this moment in time will create stability in the team from the day One . tactics of cc is more suited in the Premier League with a continental way of playing just wasn’t any good for us in the championship Best of luck to him and I hope you get the job.......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I’ve been saying for a while he could go elsewhere and make an impact. His cv had had him doing that for years in short stints. This was one of his few longer term stints and sadly his approach seemed to wear thin. I had visions of him going to a Brentford or similar and having them up there, a team that can have a go without the pressure here. In Swansea’s case they think they are down so he could go there and just have a go and I think he could take some scalps. Just hope he doesn’t come and pinch our better players too! If he does they better pay well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style strikes me for the top leagues on the continent. Karanka was similar but didn’t like strong and quick players who may lose the ball and Boro really struggled with the premier as a result. At Swansea though they have players who can cope with that so it would be interesting to see how he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
