Not sure if the club aspires to where he wants to be.
I see 'Arry has thrown his hat into the ring
Call me cynical but does he have the Janary transfer window in his forethoughts for one last pay(bung)day?

If he were to get the Swansea job, I might consider buying some shares in those Companies who manufacture brown envelopes.

That's Sunderland fucked then when he takes Defoe back.
Tracking back is overrated.

"I received no xenophobia with the players I worked with every day(Because I'm American and fail to grasp the concept of sarcasm), from the staff inside the club that I worked with every day, from the media here that paid real attention, got to know me through the press conferences(They were all equally unimpressed)," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"There were people on the outside that for no apparent reason took shots but I was never bothered by that(They had their reasons), it was always going to be part of the game when an American got the chance. None of that interfered with my work(2 wins in 11 matches, 'kin 'ell, claim it did interfere and at least you have an excuse for that)."
Despite the short-term nature of his stay at the Liberty Stadium, the former United States manager is confident he is up to the job of managing in the Premier League again.
"I am up to it, I know the players appreciated the honest work every day, many commented about the quality of training, the man-management, the preparation.(Possibly you've misunderstood, "It's shit" is not the same as "It's THE shit")
"Swansea had the ability to stay up this season but we all recognised January was going to be important.(Step One:Remove lodestone before January)
"I had many conversations with Huw Jenkins and in all of those discussions he indicated to me that he felt that Swansea had lost a little bit of their identity, a little bit of sense about what their football was all about(This took many conversations? And the solution was putting an American coach in charge? The buses just don't go where you two live do they?). I worked every day to see if we could re-establish some of those starting points.(Hahaha, points, what are they?)
"I know I can work at this level, over and over."(Two months at a time)

Amazing he got a top role in the first place, even more amazing they took that long to sack the clueless cunt.

Forest have sacked Montanier after barely six months. A turnstile instead of a door on the managers office.
Maybe Moyes might not have to wait too long before some mug of a chairman falls for his bullshit

Sad times there.
They were hoping that owner will help them come back up, instead he is killing the club. Really sad when you look at what happend with them since they relegated in 99.

Yeah. A big club that really has fallen. Far more likely to drop a division again than gain promotion. And still the thick end of 20000 turn up

Another 'big' club which has been out of the top flight for quite some time is Leeds United.
Whether you can just about tolerate them, or whether you can't stand them, you've got to admit that the size of the crowds they get is commendable, given what they've had to go through in recent times and even if they have far more than their fair share of idiots spread amongst the decent fans.
My (now ex) brother in law is a long standing Leeds fan and, like many of them, he has one redeeming feature; he hates the Scum with a passion and intensity which is quite endearing, as well as being long enduring.
If ever Leeds do succeed in getting back to the PL, there'll be some fun and games when they have to go to the Swamp.

There are quite a few "big clubs" that have fallen on tough times in the lower leagues. Both Sheffield clubs, Aston Villa, Wolves, Leeds, Forest, Newcastle (though they look like coming back at the first time of asking) all have good histories and get decent support in decent stadiums. Just the way football is I guess and but for the Sheikh taking over we may have found ourselves in a similar position
