Welsh club responded to grim run by moving on their head coach, director of football and club captain. But what now?
Football, especially in the cutthroat and crazy Championship, has a habit of making very little sense very quickly. How can a club change their director of football and head coach days after the January transfer window has shut? How can that same club sell their captain, a midfield stalwart, late in the window and fail to replace him? Swansea fans have been asking themselves these questions.
The Swans have been plunged into crisis, with the sacking of the head coach Luke Williams on Monday coming after a run containing seven defeats in nine league games. Those results, which included alarmingly heavy defeats by Portsmouth, Norwich and, most painfully, their south Wales rivals Cardiff, meant they slumped from the brink of the playoffs to 17th, with a relegation fight possible.
