@Morgan_will1999 The worry would be that Gorringe could make that sort of appointment to please the fans in the short term and to stop the criticism aimed at him. If it doesn't work out he could then blame Michu for it. There doesn't seem to be anything in it though.
At the risk of spoiling everyone's fun...
Sources at Swansea claim Michu is NOT currently a candidate to take over as sporting director, despite reports elsewhere #Swans
Much deserved win for Antonelli in an eventful Monaco Grand Prix.
Great 2nd place for Lewis. Annoying that some of the penalties are decided after the race while some can be decided in minutes.
@00N99F@BBCSportWales Not sure it matters what he believes really. If he said he supported them I could understand some having an issue. Really the journo is a bit dull to ask a question about a tournament we didn't qualify for.
@smitler1993@swansea_indy Our defence was majorly helped in that we played defensively at that time. Fans didn’t want that style of football and now it seems a surprise that our defence isn’t what it was.
There’s always a balance in football.
@danroan@philmcnulty Should be Southampton’s decision whether they back Eckert or sack him no doubt.
Will be interesting how Eckert motivates a group of players next year when his actions will have cost some of them wages in the millions of pounds though.
@smitler1993@blaine_llew@Morgan_will1999@thgorringe Of course. The best option was to give him a serious deal and the second best option was not to rush the contract talks and leave it to the sporting director who will hopefully know what he's doing.
I think the saying is fools rush in.
@smitler1993@blaine_llew@Morgan_will1999@thgorringe "His offer fell short of what other top performers are on at the club"
That's not about him being the top earner. That's about him being behind what quite a few are on with their existing deals (they'll all want more when they renew too).
@smitler1993@blaine_llew@Morgan_will1999@thgorringe He may or may not want the clause. A more realistic wage without it would still have been a more sensible approach to hopefully negotiate rather than the one they took.
@blaine_llew@smitler1993@Morgan_will1999@thgorringe It's still difficult to understand a logic where we offer arguably our best player a new contract which was way below our top earners.
Yet the guy who thought that would be a good idea is still running the football side of things down there.
@DaleJohnsonBBC@MD_Leeds Can you attempt to win or challenge for the ball by going through a player then? Surely that only applies if he’s tackling from the side or in front of the player?
