People always bang on about the cost of being Welsh. It is minuscule. The way I see it the Welsh traditions are the language and the English traditions are the Monarchy. They have a mutual disinterest.

The issue for you is not the cost.

Women are asking for compensation for equality. Everyone wants a free lunch off the Government it seems.

Women born in the 1950 s have equality in state pensions.

No teams that window did much one incomer at most for the majority of teams. Swansea got better later in the season. There was nothing special about that window.

I happen to believe he had a contract and he should have honoured it. There are some talk of a new contracts and flights booked to USA for talks.

Then thing went awry for whatever reason. Someone had a change of mind. Southampton stated there were talks and stated the new manager Martin would sign within days.

It looked to the outsider that Martin received an offer and declined the trips after talks with the US people. Another narrative was the US cancelled the talks and were happy to see
Russel leave. At least one American was keen on him staying. Mr Silverstein.

There will have been some s dissatisfaction with Martin over the January window as Martin wanted a new forward having seemingly fallen out with three already.

He jumped ship from Swansea with out agreeing his compensation. Swansea had to go to court get a measly £1m or so after SFC sold £186m of players and picked up Manning for free.

He blamed the owners as he always did. Hopefully he is sacked soon removing Southampton as an possible option for soon out of contract Swansea players.

Swnsea have experienced coaches whose job it is to improve players so that they are competitive at the top of the Championship. Brendan Rodgers improved players like Neil Taylor from National league to the Premier league.

It can be done and most of the squad are young enough to absorb good coaching. Williams has accepted the club mantra of bringing in young talented footballers with no Championship experience and moulding them into a competitive unit.

Swansea must iron out the flaws by hard work on the training ground. Swansea cannot discard 7-8 existing player and buy new. Williams has to improve what he already has. Cabango and Darling need to agree to sign within 10 days or be put up for sale and replaced.

Kindly,

I am not a flag waver myself but can I ask you do not favour Rangers in the same way my more leftist Welsh patriots support Celtic?.

This is the equivalent of say Anderletct v Standard v Liege in Belgium.

There was no dig at the Trust. Profits and dividends are good. You "made that up".

I am promoting the idea of "sustainable wages" not "league 1 wages" . Almost a football clubs are losing money. If you quote "league 1 wages " it is spin for "underpaying the going rate". Paying the "going rate" means bankruptcy without owner cash injections.

Players wages are out of control and need to be brought under control. The club simply cannot afford to overpay Cabango and Darling unless they can sell them for millions down the line at get they money back.

Hull city have spent a fortune out bid Swansea for Christie, Longman and Dramah perhaps? They are rock bottom. Walter sounds a bit like Russ.

Gradual improvement like Sunderland is the way forward.

£5.5k a year is a whopping £286,000. Rivals like Stoke can always pay more but are £150m+ in debt to their owners.

The going rate guarantees bid g debts and possible administration.

Fans should not worry about players being paid sustainable wages. Of course to fans sustainable wages means league 1 wages.

In an ideal world mid table teams pay sustainable wages and make a small profit for the shareholders like the Trust.

In every day workplaces there are people that " just do enough". As Williams indicated there is a mentality problem. Mid table will do for many.

Darling and Cabango want to be convinced this team is going places. Grimes must drive himself and the team forward. Conor Roberts and Ash Williams barked like a rottweilers when standards slipped.

Swansea finished above Sunderland last season by two or three places. Sunderland e were every bit as Swansea were today. From recollection they were coached by Tony Mowbray.

They were going through a rejuvenation process and bringing in new players. They have been patient and it is playing dividends.

One hopes Swansea is doing the same.

I saw him bend in a free kick in an u21 pre-season game at Barry 4-5 years ago. I am surprised he has not been used more. He is not a complete forward due to his weakness with aerial crosses but is playing well non the less,

Cullen Cooper and Cabango are all slow burners and only now at 25 establishing themselves. I am a firm believer that many forwards in particular start to find their way after the age of 24 as they develop their craft by experience.

Piroe found his feet immediately after being given game time. It took him a year to become Leeds s no 9.

I am confident Vipotnik will improve too.

Football is a simple game and he had over 40 years of managerial experience. Even if you are correct Bradley was not at the club long enough to do significant damage. He was not given a chance.

The damage was home grown with Jenkins's failing recruitment and Clement not being strong enough to refuse Bony and Clucas and his selection of Sanches and a too raw Abraham.

Sunderland were where Swansea were two seasons ago under Tony Mowbray I think. A flakey team with inexperienced young players. After 48 long month things started clicking.

Swansea will hopefully be top 10 this season and press on next season with 2-3 key signings, The club needs the same manager for more than two seasons.

Cooper was for quick fixes with his loans. It did not work. Williams like everybody else has to learn on the job.

I am in no doubt this tea is not top 6 but is improving slowly. Cullen Cooper and Cabango have taken about 4 years to get to first team regulars.

Players like Vipotnik, Ronald, Eom, Key and Tymon and not fully matured and need time and patience.

Swansea are a slowly improving mid table team.

Sharp crisp one touch football around the opinion box is what everyone wants. Swansea players have not been trained to head the ball properly. Cullen demonstrates this every week.

There is no point putting in high balls if there is no one to head the ball. Williams sent the only forward who can head the ball to Scotland to hopefully improve and get games.

Josh Thomas cannot get on the bench for Bromley some weeks.
