Wouldn't manage Liverpool () either. Nor any of the other teams, for that matter.

Who would you manage, then?

I can resist all of the big teams, there is no team I would always jump for.

but seeing as I am a sinking-ship-jumping-poof, I waould leve my club at the drop of a hat if

1. a bigger club came calling
2. the club offering me the job seemed more interesting than the one I had.
3. the board were telling me my job was safe for the 3 time :eek:

I get the thing with leaving a club for your favourite supported club.

But has anyone here been in the situation of leaving that club. I have been and heres a brief career history for me.

2002 - Take over at newly promotoed (by editor) Merthyr Tydfil in the conferance, finished season 6th.

2004 (April) - Sacked by Merthyr after spending most of the season in relegation zone.

2004 (November) - Get offered job at LLanelli (League of Wales)

2009 - After one league and two welsh cup wins I get offerd Division 3 football by Chester, take the job.

2012 - The call finally comes !!! Swansea City, 20th in 3rd pick me and I get to manage my hometown team.

2019 - Swans now Div 1 and with healthy budget however board now have high expectations and are not pleased with my mid-table position nor the fact that I want to stick with my young squad. I get an offer from Newcastle and decide to jump before pushed.

2023 - After 2 UEFA cups and one PL title I get the offer from Real Madrid ! I take it leading to 3 Champions LEague titles , 4 Leagues and 6 KO Cups in five years. The Madrid team included three of my ex-swansea youngsters that my board wanted me to replace at the Vetch, all £20m plus players now.

2029 - Current Swansea manager sacked and board replaced within weeks of being relegated to division 3. Applied for and got the job, national press goes wild exclaiming the prodigal son has returned to the Swans.

2030 (February - Present) - Swans 7th in 3rd division after 6-loss start. Currently in process of shipping out a few older hands and bringing in one or two younger legs to give the team more energy. Definately interesting coming back to this level as I have no clue who most the players in this division are.

So there you have it. It was a really tough decision to leave the Swans in the first place but with a good young squad and a decent budget I thought they would do well enough without me there. Unfortunately the board must have picked a yes man becasue he began signing Premiership rejects and sticking my youngsters in the reserves. With them out of the way though It is now time to rebuild the Swans once more under my own image and this time lead them to EPL glory!

Ok so I digressed a bit, so shoot me.

Where's the edit button when you need it?

Forgot to say that your career is missing something. You need to get a relegation in there somewhere.

KUTGW at Swansea :thup:
