We know that a) Luton already signed this guy to a contract a while back and b) Bowyer has as recently as last week been moaning about a new contract with us.
Not a chance he is going there.0 -
So whilst it would be great.. we could have Bowyer as Manager of the month and Taylor player of the Month... we wouldn't want that jinx0

Luton agreed with WBA in February for him to take over Luton at the end of this season2 -
Be interesting to watch... Could be in the Les Reed / Sammy Lee mold seeing he's never managed before0

Neither had Lee Bowyer...ForeverAddickted said:Be interesting to watch... Could be in the Les Reed / Sammy Lee mold seeing he's never managed before1 -
They have a pile of training gear with "Jones" on it, and wanted to reuse it.ForeverAddickted said:

Similarly if Lee goes we'll replace him with Gary Bowyer3 -
We need to pile in and vote for one of the other nominated managers so LB doesn’t attract the curse of the manager of the month awardScoham said:2 -

Bowyer won it for the month of April and we still won at Wembley. I wouldn't be too worried, Bowyer is a magician so I'm sure the curse doesn't effect him.letthegoodtimesroll said:

Id honestly give it to Steve Cooper
Was a little cautious when Swansea appointed him as he doesnt have any club management experience - Has had a great start though and hope in a way it continues for him1 -
Cooper got more points and beat Leeds so he will get it. I think Taylor should get the player award.1

Daniel Johnson has only got one less goal than Lyle... He's also got three assists so wouldnt surprise me if he got itMuttleyCAFC said:Cooper got more points and beat Leeds so he will get it. I think Taylor should get the player award.0 -
It was only Sunderland at Wembley. We gave them a goal start to try and make a game of it and still won.Sage said:

So three wins and a defeat from the "curse"0 -
Hugill at QPR has 5 goals, none of which were penalties so he'd also be more likely than Taylor.ForeverAddickted said:

Borja Baston is another Id have nominated ahead of Watkins - Exact same return as Taylor yet he'd virtually been forgotten by Swansea after being out on loan for two yearsChris_from_Sidcup said:

Is impressive as cant have been easy coming back to a team who clearly didnt want him for two years0 -
Hugill and Borja aren’t nominated so can’t win it. Whether they should’ve been nominated or not is a different story. I believe that Lyle has been selected ahead of both due to his higher profile (penalties going viral etc).
- Daniel Johnson
- Lyle Taylor
- Mike van der Hoorn
- Ollie Watkins

Massive difference between taking over a former PL club still on parachute payments and managing a promoted L1 club with bugger all money to spend, that were favourites for relegationMuttleyCAFC said:Cooper got more points and beat Leeds so he will get it.

Cooper has done very well, but Bowyer has been outstanding. We'll have to deal with the curse on Saturday
And by the sound of things the curse has hit Lyle already...2 -

True but it's Cooper's first senior management role and Swansea lost their best player (James) plus their top scorer (McBurnie) so he's also done pretty well to be fair. And they won away at Leeds.killerandflash said:

He's done very well, but then up front he's brought in from the cold Borja and Ayew, both expensive strikers signed in the Premier League and massively out of our price league!Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Their transfer fees this summer were only £500k and that player is still to make his debut0 -
True. But we also only spent a tiny amount on Purrington who has featured for us regularly, he was also here last season in League One - never really played at this level before - Bonne doesn't count really as he has only played about 15 minutes in the league for us. This is also a Swansea team who were 9 points off the play-offs last season. Okay they lost James and McBurnie, but Bastón and Andre Ayew have come back from their loans to replace those two leaving, meaning they didn't need to spend that money received.ForeverAddickted said:

Personally, with the squad we had only 6 weeks ago, and the general summer we had of turbulence, to go into the first 6 games being unbeaten as a newly promoted side, sitting in the automatic promotion places, I don't know how Bowyer can't win this award. That's not taking anything away from Swansea's achievement so far this season. I just feel in relative terms, they've had a good start but with a solid Championship side beforehand, whereas, we have had an outstanding start with only I would say 4 players who have properly started games for us this season (Solly, Pearce, Pratley, Williams) to have genuine experience of a full campaign in the Championship beforehand.3 -
How on earth did Bowyer not win0
-
Strange decision, maybe they wanted to give it to a new name0
-
I wonder when the last August Manager of the Month was given to someone not top of the table0
-
Swansea are top of the table with more points than us, scored more goals than us and conceded less. And they won away at title favourites Leeds. It's not really strange at all.killerandflash said:Strange decision, maybe they wanted to give it to a new name8 -
Yeah you've got to go back to 2014 to find the last August MoTM winner who wasnt top of the League0
