Next Swansea Manager?

token101

If Rodgers has pretty much taken over at Liverpool, where does that leave Swansea? Who's going to take over there? Will they get an experienced Prem manager like Curbishley or would they go for someone up and coming like Poyet or Karl Robinson?

Paul Tergat

I assume they will get someone in who will continue to promote the kind of football the previous 3 managers have used. Who that is I dunno

G.K.

The only thign that is certain is that they will employ someone who will continue their philosophy.

I don't think it'll happen but Guardiola honestly wouldn't surprise me.

Perhaps Luis Enrique would be a more realisitc option. Of managers in England, only Poyet would really fit the bill.

I don't think so to be honest I couldn't see it happening but you never know! Poyet would be ideal really, as would Holloway. Would the playoff defeat be enough to tempt Holloway into a change? I think Di Canio could be a very good shout for an outside punt.

Thomas Tuchel of Mainz would be a great shout.

Moneymaker

I hear Kenny Daglish is out of work.

Neil3030

I think he's pretty much wrapped up to go to Roma but Zeman would be perfect.

Rog Hodgson. Plenty of experience and will need a job next season.

wouldnt suprise you?

I think it would shock the football world and there is more chance of paul doolin getting the job

Roberto Martinez would be great for them if he wanted to quit Wigan. Brought them their initial success didn't he?

Guardiola wouldn't surprise you even though it would shock the world of football?

I instantly thought Gus Poyet myself. Had a little bet as well.

Personally I'd love to see Michael Laudrup back in management, he is such a smart footballing man and would be a good fit for them. Obviously never going to happen but just throwing my thoughts out there.

G.K.

It wouldn't surprise me because I don't think Pep will only look to take a CL job. And Swansea are already playing a posession-based game.

It's only because Swansea are a relatively small team with little investment that people seem to be be amazed that they can keep the ball. I reckon Guardiola might find a "few" other teams that play possession football that will take him.

I personally think he would only take a top job or one at a big club.

G.K.

That's just the impression I have had of Guardiola.

And who else play like Swansea do? Arsenal you could argue but Wenger's not going anywhere anytime soon. Nor is Mancini at City. And that's it really.

Brendan Rodgers wasn't familiar with the system when he joined Swansea, he was foced to adapt to it from Roberto Martinez's spell there and look how it turned out :cool:

I meant across Europe. Anyway I think it's ridiculous that Guardiola's name is in this thread.

Roberto Martinez had to do the same as Brendan Rodgers

G.K.

I see.

We'll just have to agree to disagree over who he'll be interested in. I have it from a decent source (Gets a lot of Barca-related stuff right) that he's only looking to Italy and England, not necessarily to a top flight club. What with the problems in Italy and all, England may become the prime target. Swansea would make a lot of sense.

But then again, he does want a sabbatical.

No, Roberto didn't have to.

Roberto was the manager of Swansea before Rodgers, so Rodgers decided to do what he done, he didn't have to but he did.

Di Canio hopefully. The premier league needs more nutcases, its all a bit boring.

Paulo Sousa was there too.

I don't. He strikes me as the type of guy who would consider anything. He wouldn't have the pressures for instant success at a small club like Swansea and he might see it as a challenge that interests him.

plasmaguy

They should appoint a caretaker, because Liverpool's over-demanding fans will be calling for his head by Christmas and he'll be free to take the Swansea job again.

grohlisagod

I think the ideal candidate for this job would have been Gary Speed.

Think he's signed a extended 2 year deal with swindon

He'll be in the premier league soon.

Popcorn on hold for now.......

Apparently they're after Martinez assistant manager at Wigan, Graeme Jones. Betting suspended.

Random. Could be good, but Terry Connor and Chris Hutchings spring to mind. Be interesting to see who Norwich go for. My money would be on Lee Clark.

They were trying to get him as manager before they hired Rogers. He was assistant manager at the club when Martinez was manager.

Who was his assistant? I'd fancy him to get the job if he doesn't go with Rodgers.

Colin Pascoe is my assistant but he's coming to Anfield too.

Why didn't I bet on this!

SSN reporting it's nearly a done deal with Laudrup, should be a fantastic addition to the PL.
