To be honest forget the manager. If the players cant motivate themselves for a local derby then there is no hope.

Personally I’ve come to the conclusion that the dreams and aspirations of the players are poles apart from the fans.
Honestly I don’t think many want to be promoted.

Players like Livermore, Bartley can brag to their grandkids later that YES I played at the top level, been there done that. But do they really fancy another season there where they are embarrassed every week. Barley could not get into a relegated Swansea side for a reason, and he older now

Does Furlong really want to be skinned every week.
I think many of them know they will be embarrassed and pundits will crucify them.



Bruce in or out, not bothered, Manager not the biggest problem, squad more of an issue
