Another season is over, and even by Swansea City’s standards it was one of the most bizarre. A poor start followed by an inspired run, an awful and long mid season spell followed by a brilliant ending. Off the pitch we saw the usual boardroom unrest followed by rumours of new people coming on board which has now come to fruition to an extent, although more additions/departures seem likely. Let’s look at all the issues in more detail.

Players Out Of Contract 

Ryan Manning looks likely to leave which is a real shame. The supporter’s player of the season has been a key performer and as things stand we have no back up unless Martin decides to bring Nathaneal Ogbeta back into the fold which seems unlikely. I’m still hoping that with changes being made behind the scenes we can come to an agreement over a new deal, but we need to be sensible about it, this club doesn’t have a bottomless pit of cash so we don’t want to go crazy either. 

Joel Latibeaudiere is also out of contract and every time Martin talks about him I find myself more baffled and mystified than before....
