The Times says "Brighton & Hove Albion head coach Oscar Garcia" is on Swansea's shortlist, amongst plenty of other candidates.

Just goes to show how well respected he is in the football world. We are lucky to have him and need the players to perform to the best of their abilities.

I would be totally gobsmacked and I'm not in the "Jones is a clueless gimp in a skinny tracksuit" camp either

If we keep on saying it, do you think it might begin to resonate? Or is there really just no point?

Because he is very highly respected and comes with a top class reference from Johan Cruyff and Barcelona.

If it does happen - and I think there is a very good chance - would hope we could promote Nathan with Calde as his number two.

Not seen such Bravery!
I'd be devastated if he goes, but maybe it'll give Ralf Rangnick a chance to take the albion up a league.

well i know TB is a gambler but i think thats unlikely
given his investment i suspect he will want to go for someone with a bit more about him than nathan jones

Hopefully hypothetical - but it would be an interesting dilemma if Swansea asked for permission to speak with our Oscar Garcia?
I wonder how Tony Bloom would feel. Firstly I suspect he would have a sense of deja vu. But in a way it would be yet another compliment for Tony's own recent managerial selections. However I guess if Swansea were to go about such an approach in a respectful and appropriate manner then Tony might just give permission but also make it clear that financial compensation would be expected.
This also prompts the question whether Tony has a shortlist of future managerial candidates of his own in mind? Given how situations in football can change so rapidly I guess most sensible Chairmen would always have a couple of names in mind, 'just in case'.

Bloom would definitely have a couple of names in mind - "Nathan" and "Jones".

He's an astronaut
Extremely dull manager. Dull football, Not convinced he will take us up. Poor home record and lack of goals. I just don't feel comfortable with him and Jones.
