O/T:- Swansea

[irishpete]

My prediction is he will be sacked within 18 months, and will be appointed by Wrexham afterwards. Good luck to him overall he did a good job, but i do believe in the future he will regret leaving us at the time he did.

Could be lucky to last this, never mind 18 months. There is a big problem between the Owners & fans. Many wanting them out. Hedge funds will want a return on their investment pretty quick, to try to get the fans back on their side. He loses 5 or so games out of 9. immense pressure will be on all round.
What gripes me is the fact he knew where Nottm was when he took the job, his partner had the business, he had kids, so why take the job?
What does he do when he leaves Swansea, not too many clubs around that area. I wouldn't be looking to employ him for my business knowing he could bolt as soon as a job nearer home became available.
Got to admit I had a big grin when I saw yesterdays result & the previous week when Brum scored in the 90th min.

Because he knew with the squad we had in the NL last season it was highly likely he'd get a promotion under his belt. To me it seems he used us as a stepping stone back to Swansea. He was always going to go back to swansea even if we were top of the league by 10 points. The Notts job was never a long term project for him the same way we see it.

Great to hear Stu and the team will be moving to Nottingham, shows true commitment.

Don't think we were a stepping stone. Swansea might not have been looking for a new man for years. He was at MK Dons & Swindon both a good distance from Swansea.
Jesus if players felt that way, where would football be?

Clearly we expect successful managers to commit their life to the club but be ready to be hounded out on any run of bad results. Whilst I admire Stu for showing his commitment he could be looking for a job down south again this time next year with all the disruption that brings for his wife and daughter. I suppose he and his family might have taken the attitude that he's got to give it his all and so not have separation of family as an excuse for failure.

A bigger club in or around South Wales might have been the only thing that would have taken LW away. OP67 would need to ask the owners as no doubt that was all covered in their discussions.

Man gets job, good at job, gets better job. Nothing to see here. Move on.
