22 July 2021

So the saga of the summer has finally reached it’s conclusion and Steve Cooper is no longer the manager of Swansea City. There had long been rumours of this happening since the Play-Off final defeat to Brentford at the end of May and yesterday’s news finally put an end to the speculation. The manager had
