What on earth has SR done in order to attract interest from any other club in the football pyramid, never mind the Championship?

I'm sure he'd love the Swansea job, but that means nothing really. I really fancy lots of unattainable things.

Not sure that Potter getting Swansea to mid table in the Championship qualifies for a premier league job either. Funny old game think he's done a great job there! They weren't far off the playoffs, in his first season managing in england and he's had to cope with a club selling off most of their star players on a continual cost cutting basis, but has got on with managing and bringing through young players from no-where. look at what he's done for dan james, a loanee we never played & returned, but is now rated as a £20million player

Going back to Potter, good to see an English manager being given a chance. After Hughton, we could easily have seen the number of English managers in the top flight fall even lower. The next step is to get one of Dyche, Howe etc into a bigger club with a larger budget. Can't see it being a top 6 side unfortunately, but the logical next step would be one of the mid-tier clubs like Everton, Wolves, West Ham etc.

This rumour is nonsense.
The FB rumour said it was on the messageboard.
The messageboard said it was on FB.
It is nowhere! It is nothing! He's not even on the bookmakers list.

I must admit I laughed at someone on FB getting excited about there apparently being some truth in the story. He provided a link to supposedly back this up but it me to an article of names being linked, however Ricketts was not a name on there.

As a manager, what has he done? That’s not the way it works Some managers are appointed with zero experience , frank lampard for example Other managers are appointed because they have a really good record paul hurst for example Which decision was right and wrong out of those 2 ? If there was just one championship side that was perfect for Ricketts you wouldn’t find a better one than Swansea You need to get over the bitterness you seem to have No matter who the manager we start this season with they will be judged on results Had hurst stayed last season and struggled the boo boys would have been calling for his head just like anyone The only manager I lost faith with was ratcliffe and that was only towards the end

Think you've mistaken me for someone else. If you think that SR is Championship ready, then OMFG! The guy has not done anything in a positive light to enhance his managerial reputation. Yet... Me saying that does not make me anti-Ricketts. I'm a realist, unlike you.

Me saying that does not make me anti-Ricketts. I'm a realist, unlike you. I said you seem to sound bitter you asked a question and I gave a reasonable answer someone started a thread questioning if Ricketts is likely to go to swansea we both know he's by no means Swanseas number 1 target but I was just pointing out he does actually have a CV and ticks a lot of boxes If I was ricketts and had the slightest sniff of that job I'd be off like a shot as he's pretty much wasting his time here, too many have already judged im a réalist, i expect us to struggle next season, I always do a realist would accept that will you ?

Far too early to say where we'll end up next season. I'd be happy with staying up & anything else is a bonus.
Big pre-season for Ricketts though. He has to put a good squad together. Not that I feel we need many enforcements.
Some key signings, yes.
But if we have a shocking start, similar to this past season then he too will be gone & probably sooner than Askey.
The boo boys will make sure of that..

Well, no. Potter is someone Ricketts can aspire to be though. Entertainment & superb football despite a board who were selling their players left, right & centre. Swansea fans love him.
Let’s see if Ricketts confident predictions of ‘knowing what he wants and how he wants them to play’ comes to fruition. Then he can jump at the Swansea job next time it’s free.

Always liked Chris Coleman as a person and a manager but his CV is going downhill since he left the Wales job. Think he is free now after getting sacked in China. Perhaps Swansea would give him the chance to get his career back on track.
