We didn't sack him when he couldn't win a game. We waited for him to win 2 out of 4 against 2 top half teams and then sacked him. So you think he was hitting some kind of form do you? You think it was all just coming together? We were going to magically become unshit. No, but we were certainly improved. If he wasn't sacked against Hudds, which no-one would've complained at, he shouldn't have been sacked on Friday. |

Swansea fans were saying they were shite and didn't even know how they were at that position in the table. The big picture is we're not good and haven't been for a very long time. |

I don't think you can discount his wins. We sacked him with no replacement at a stupid, arbitrary time. |

The point I'm trying to make is what is having him in charge going to do!?!? The guy is struggling heavy to put anything together. You could stick a dog in charge and the result is the same! |

But really having a manager who is doing badly in charge with a week's training is better than 3 non-managers with 4 hours' training. |

He either had to go after Huddersfield, or be assured of his job until Christmas. Anything else would be insanity without a top quality manager waiting in the wings.

This is pretty much it, what they did instead was to judge game to game which is the worst form of short termism and then sit on their hands with regards to replacements. I personally would have got rid of Jones after Huddersfield but if they had kept him on till Xmas at least their would be a semblance of some sort of plan and strategy....instead we got the usual dithering cretinism we’ve been witness to before. |

Just another in a very long list of strategic errors that the club are so very good at. They fuck everything up because they don't know what they are doing. Circa 100m to produce a team that does that tonight. Its the biggest embarrassment I have ever seen in professional football. We are a joke. A very big one. |

Harvard Business School 101 *- save 2 days wages by sacking a guy on Friday and employing the next bloke on Monday.......oh

They sacked the manager on Friday and had nobody lined up because they haven't learned a single lesson from last time. They are utterly useless. The lot of them. The problem of handing the reigns to someone like Rory is that hes as honest as the day is long...and as he said tonight "as soon as they found out on Wednesday..." |

He's not the brightest button our Rory Just because he has a heavy accent doesn't mean he isnt bright. He was a very intelligent footballer and hes a honest, reliable bloke. He didn't forget to lie, he just told it how it was. As bad as tonight was, and it was laughably bad, the bits of criticism I've seen of rory do not sit well with me at all. These players have no respect for anyone and it is they who deserve every ounce of criticism going around. |

They've had two extra days to come up with nothing! The three caretakers have also had two extra days to dream up that car crash of a lineup too! |

It's completely irrelevant when he was sacked to be honest. We simply do not have enough quality to keep us in the league.
