Tribute To Kenny Jackett

We were shocked and saddened to hear of the passing of Kenny Jackett at the age of just 64. It’s been nearly twenty years since his spell as manager ended, but thinking back to that period and there were some great days, some of the best in a long long time. Although it didn’t start

Relegation Awaits If Sheehan Stays

Over the summer it was refreshing to see some optimism in SA1 for the first time in a good while. There’d been long overdue investment in the playing squad, high profile investors Luka Modric and Snoop Dogg had joined the ownership group, season ticket sales had increased and after a good run at the end

Joe Allen – A Tribute

As you get older you get used to a lot of your heroes retiring, but it never gets easier. Joe Allen has been a stalwart for club and country for approaching two decades, and while this day was on the horizon I didn’t think it would be just yet. With him coming out of international

The Sheehan Conundrum

So Alan Sheehan is the new manager of Swansea City. On the face of it, it’s difficult to argue with this decision. When he replaced Luke Williams we were in freefall, struggling to score, conceding by the bucket load and it felt as if we were staring a relegation battle in the face. Sheehan has

Own The Mistake And Make A Change

Defeats in a south Wales derby will always provoke strong reactions. It’s the game we care about more than any other, and in truth we’ve been very spoilt in this fixture over the last few years and inevitably it was going to go the other way at some point. I can accept that we will

John Hollins – A Tribute

Today we learned the sad news of the passing of former Swansea City manager John Hollins at the age of 76. During my time as a fan, no one has had a longer spell in the dugout than Hollins, who was in charge from July 1998 until September 2001.  When he took over we were

A poor start followed by an inspired run, an awful and long mid season spell followed by a brilliant ending. Off the pitch we saw the usual boardroom unrest followed by rumours of new people coming on board
