barclay seats 4849 0 Posted June 5, 2012 Being reported on MSN now , that assistant coach at Ajax , is considering taking the managers job !Bit of Kudos there if it happens ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted June 5, 2012 Great players dont always make great managers. No real managerial experience either, these sort of appointments rarely seem to work out, i''d be very worried once the wow factor subsided if i was a Swansea supporter and this happened.

star_manic 0 Posted June 5, 2012 he has stated in the past that he has no interest in becoming a manager, saying that this entails a full time occupation and that is not his style. as relaxed outside football as he was as a player. if he keeps to his principals it would seem unlikely he would take this post unless he wants practice before replacing wenger at arsenal.

barclay seats 4849 0 Posted June 5, 2012 He is currently assistant coach at Ajax ...........pretty full time ....and often a stepping stone ..and I agree maybe he is in line to the arsenal Throne ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,151 Posted June 5, 2012 Not sure what I''d make of such a link to us - great player, but no management experience and only one year as assistant to de Boer (a link to him I would be more impressed by!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salopian 1 Posted June 6, 2012 I believe that he had an aversion to flying. If so, he would have a lot of long motor journeys from Swansea! His nearest club might even be A**on V*lla! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrappy33 0 Posted June 6, 2012 You have to start somewhere. Could be a master stroke if it works out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,610 Posted June 6, 2012 Swansea seem to be obsessed with finding a manager who fits their image of passing football rather than finding the best man for the job. If you ask me thats a risky strategy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
