King Luke to Swansea

[Helen's Nepenthe]

The majority of the fans here seem pretty sanguine about events but a few seem pretty outraged so just for a bit of perspective --------

If you look at the history of Swansea City managers from their rise up the leagues until their recent troubles, you can see why any up any ambitious manager would be tempted...

Roberto Martinez - Belgium and Everton

Brendan Rogers - Poached by Liverpool and has gone on to do pretty well for himself

Graham Potter - poached by Brighton before stumbling at Chelsea..... I doubt he is done for yet but with the amount he has earned in pay offs, i think i would take up fishing

Steve Cooper - not poached by anyone but ended up in the premier league for a golden season...

Russel Martin - poached by Southampton and will almost certainly be back in the premier league with his new club in the next 18 months .....

It is a really good club to showcase your talent - didn't work out for Duff but the awful pragmatic change in style he brought was his downfall in the end ...

It is also the way football works - as a Swansea fan, I have felt like a jilted lover many times over the past ten years and I believe LW was being honest about his love for your club and hoping he fails is all a bit mean like though to be honest, i hoped Brendan would fail at Liverpool but that was more because he took Joe Allen with him and also on account of it being Liverpool like..


wish you the best for the rest of the season and beyond
