'No major surgery needed' 17:04 - Dec 5 with 3734 views | deanscfc | Anyone think the message has got through to Bob Bradley and more importantly HJ/the American investors that 'major surgery' was needed and will be needed on the squad in January? Hopefully we can somehow pick up enough points over Christmas to actually still be in the running, but either way if we're going down then we may as well do so fighting... | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Not sure if you're being serious but if you are, we certainly are not down. We are one of six teams in trouble but there certainly is hope if we do the right things next month with new players. Accept it and move on? Nah life isn't like that, you fight and fight. Then fight some more for things you believe in. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) |

'No major surgery needed' on 17:25 - Dec 5 with 2721 views | TheFranchise | The club owners have said nothing, the former chairman has said nothing. We have a manager so far out of his depth some believe we were nuts to get rid of Monk. It's December and no-one is linking us to players and we're sitting on the bottom with no distinct style of player leaking goals faster than the titanic took on water. We need a new manager to come in now, we need to get out of the bottom 3 before the window opens, we aren't attractive to new players. We're low payers and look dead in the water. The new owners need to speak now, make a statement of intent so it at least looks like we're fighting to stay up and not doing a Villa. I'll be honest, I think we just about have the squad to stay up but those in charge have no clue how to make it work. Put Leon and Curtis in charge, 2 people that know our ways and love the club. | ![](/images/avatars/8643.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'm normally a glass half full type person mate but I really can't see no way out of this. Club is rotten all the way through at the moment the fight you talk about (which I agree with) is lacking in the players | ![](/images/avatars/9450.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I dont think we are down yet, as you say we are one of 6 and another poster says the players dont have the fight, I think they have, but ATM I think their heads are frazzled by whatever Bradley Boy is having them to do! We will be down if we continue with this Management , from what I hear from him is basically saying its down to the players! Fault 1......Bad workman always blames his tools Fault 2......youll lose players support. | ![](/images/avatars/9381.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The days of managers of football clubs resigning are long gone I'm afraid, sacked and get paid up or resign and walk away with nothing? ?... it's a nobrainer really | ![](/images/avatars/8955.gif) |

'No major surgery needed' on 18:38 - Dec 5 with 2405 views | deanscfc | Talking of the manager, I do feel that someone like Brendan Rodgers would have stood a good chance of getting the best out of our current players - going back to the slow build up/passing from the back which we used to serve us so well. I don't think BB (or most other mangers) have a hope of replicating that though. I don't think we are down yet, but it is nearly beyond hope. It probably wouldn't be a bad thing if Curt started to play a more active role in things (if he isn't already) - work with BB to get us playing our old style as closely as possible. We can't afford any stupid selections - just go back to basics, get the best 11 players on the pitch and stop f'n about with things. Then when January comes, two new fullbacks, a new CB, a winger and 1 other in midfield. 5 players. We will need to pay more but it is necessary. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The guy is genuine enough,hes just leagues out of his depth,he looks haunted and knows that hes not capable of managing at this level. the yanks will ask him to resign with a "quiet pay off.Lets hope so,anyway. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

All sounds great, but its a bunch of limited players that will be doing the fighting! Not their fault,they've been hopelessly exposed by jenkins not replacing the quality as and when needed. The tight coont has taken us down single handed,most of our first teamers are back up players and squad players in reality. Hope youre right and we stay up, if we do Jenkins will continue to cut corners and feel justified and the club limps on to eventual relegation anyway. It never needed to be this way,the stupid coont has IMO blown us to make the balance sheet look good for a sale, basically stuck his fingers up to all in the city and county of swansea, | ![](/images/avatars/13184.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

3 out of our 4 senior centrebacks have looked accomplished at this level before, and they maybe could again if anyone ahead of them could take control of the ball and keep possession up the pitch to give them a rest and let the team find shape once in a while. Major surgery isn't required as the club is a mangled corpse. There are too many problems in every area to fix, just put it down and start again with the kids. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Sorry but Fernández, Amat and VDH are nowhere near good enough for the top flight and without Williams they are being ruthlessly exposed. .. but yes as you say the problems are all over and not just the back four | ![](/images/avatars/8955.gif) |

I agree with most of your post, Curt and Leon love the club but I wouldn't give them the gig, unless you were looking to give them the chance to prepare for next season and to make a good fist of trying to get out of the Championship at the first attempt. To stay up we need a proven manager who will ring his own team in and some new blood on the playing front. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Fede and Amat looked really promising together the back end of last season. Amat has had great games for us, as has Fernandez. vdH I didn't rate based on his time at Ajax but looked like he might prove me wrong... briefly. If everything else wasn't a complete mess I think we could have gotten away with it. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
