New manager thread

[saj]

I am very excited about his appointment. I have no idea why!

[danperkins]

Are both Rogers & LVG officially confirmed?

Brendan Rodgers.

[Muddled]

It's Rodgers..?

And Brendan.

[Vermilion]

It's Rodgers..?

looking on line, it doesn't seem anyone is sure, except maybe Brendan himself.

Interesting choice, let's see how it goes.

Welcome and good luck.

How do you pronounce it.

I'm actually sorta excited about this, if given time I think he can develope us in to something good, and in many ways builds on top of the way we already play.

Don't expect quick results, but for the longer term I think it's a good way to go. Now for someone in a strategic position and it's looking good.

Anyone else think Dave Whelan ****ed it up for Martinez? He will go to Villa now IMO.

Same here.

Meh. To fire a legend and completely ignore Rafa and other potential proven managers then replace them with a shot in the dark prayer is completely underwhelming. If it works, we'll all be happy. If not, all our good foreigners will leave and we'll have officially dropped in the pecking order and be selling clubs like Valencia, Dortmund, and Spurs. That's my last bit of whining over this though until we hear the inevitable PR blitz FSG's preparing and see what really happens over the summer.

At least, if the rumors are correct, we'll have some big football names working for us, even if they are sitting in offices rather than working on the pitch. Better than having no football people like now. Swansea obviously played good football last year for the players they had. It's pretty (though I'm sick of hearing this as a requirement from people without mentioning what really matters, winning) and should be more effective with our better quality players. It'll be nice to have this chaos behind us. Bring on the transfer window, Euros, and eventually the start of next season.

I bought into that a while ago. I know we aren't going to do much in the short term, I've accepted that, the future excites me though. We seem to have a plan.
