Dear John



Here's your chance to write to John Hollins about any Swans matter you like.

John Hollins has refused to respond to any of the messages that I have sent to him from this page. However, I will leave them on this site for him to read if he wishes.


Dear John

I was really disappointed today by the fact that you or any
of the players did not come out to thank the loyal supporters for
their support this season. Im a season ticket holder and i love the
swans. My brother attends every game with me even though he is not a
season ticket holder. I am hoping that we will get promoted next
season and then hopefully abit of thanks for our support.

Dear John

I was debating wether to go down to see the
Brentford game, and I'am so glad I did. I think that was the best
performance of the season, every player gave 100%. Even when we were
six up and heading towards the final whistle we were determined to
keep them out, a clean sheet gives the defence and the rest of the
squad confidence. Another win on saturday against Cambridge and our
confidence will be sky high even if we are relagated. It just goes to
show what they can really do if they try hard enough. The only
compliant I had was the attendance, 2,002 is just not good enough.
Where are the supporters when the team needs them most? All the best
for next season!

A Loyal Fan!

Dear John

Much of this season and indeed last was appalling but
saturdays defeat at Oxford was shambolic ! You have to go !!! Stuart
Roberts reaction on saturday is what we expect from those who wear the
shirt, not the embarrasment of you skulking off after another gutless
and clueless performance. It is obvious to most that the squad has not
been good enough for a number of years despite your protestations,
you're treatment of senior pros like Jones and Bound throughout this
season particularly has been nothing short of disgraceful, your
comments regarding the fans over the course of the season has shown
the contempt with which you hold those of us who will still be here
long after you have returned from whence you came and your apparent
blind faith in those who are clearly not up to the job such as Boyd
and Cusack beggars belief. Please do the honourable thing and resign
your lucrative post now. We may then be able to have someone that
knows what it takes to be a Swansea City fan, till I die my friend,
till I die !!!!! Andy

Dear John

By now you know the opinion of the majority of
supporters.But I must say I do not blame you for not resigning, The
last year you have been paid for doing nothing because that is what
you did for this football club absolutly nothing and the only chance
you have of being paid for being paid in football the next couple
years is for them to sack you, so i hope3 they do it soon  because
there is no chance of you doing the honorable thing because you are
not a honorable man good look for the future just go away from here.

Dear John

I've always had faith in you when others have said you don't
know what you're doing, but after losing to Oxford today I'm afraid
that the only thing you possibly do is say goodbye to the vetch and
resign!!  Please end our misery! I'm afraid to say John that you
wouldn't even get a job for fruit picking company!

All the best in the future John!

Please resign John for the club's sake we are all fed up with your constant 
Crap and Excuses. When you couldn't even pick your nose,sorry to say this John 
but your day's are numbered here at the Vetch. Please put us out of our misery 
and resign.

Dear John

can you help shed some light on the wales situation, because
many of my friends and i feel that wales hav the potential of
qualifying for a major international competition. Just take a look of
the players we have: Matt Jones, Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Robbie
Savage, John Hartson, Craig Bellamy, these players can deliver the
goods day in day out of the prem, and look at our national team we are
placed at 111 in the world rankings, I know that 6 players dont make a
team but we still have capable players like Nathan Blake, Chris
Coleman, Andy Melville, Robert Page, Mark Delany. So wot is the
problem with going to places like Belarus and losing? I'm not
critisising Mark Hughes as I'm sure he's desperate to make us qualify
but i dont think he's the man for the job, firstly he's hasn't even
had domestic managerial experience. I'd love to see Brian Flynn take
over the hot seat after the qualifyers. Even though Mark Hughes heart
is the right place, but he lacks the knowledge.

Dear John

i'm sure you've noticed that fans are not happy with the
recent run off results and some supporters are even calling for your
head. Even though we are in a troubled postion in the league, all the
north bank will be in full voice for todays game, so we're doing our
bit so pull your finger out and do yours.

Dear John

I know we are not playing our best football at the
moment, but I still think it will come. I just want to know when our
luck is going to change on the pitch, I don't think ref's like us very
much, and if they do then they have a funny way of showing it. I think
the 2 new boys from France are good players but I think we need
experinaced players in the starting 11. Keep working hard!!!

Dear John

we have been going to the vetch for a year and a bit now and
we are totally committed fans. last season they were brilliant but we
honestly don't know what has gone wrong with the team. they don't seem
to be responding and they are not playing to the standard that we saw
them last season. we seriously think that we will face relegation but
hopefully with the right commitment that the team will show and with
the support from the true fans then fingers crossed we can stay in
division 2. good luck. chins up!!! do your best!!!

Dear John

I am wondering why Bound has been benched lately?

In the match v Bristol City I would have expected him to play. I know
it was very unlucky that we only managed a 3-1 defeat, but we knew
that Bristol City would be difficult to beat.

Can we expect Matthew Bound in the starting line up for the next
match?

Cher John 

J'ai lu encore que vous regardez pour apporter
deux nouvelles importations du club du conducteur de Swansea, rue
Germain de Paris. 

Je me demande comment votre expertise est parvenue à trouver ces
joueurs. Je devine que vous devez avoir une équipe de scouts qui
récurent toute la cueillette de l'Europe vers le haut des meilleures
personnes dans vos yeux pour le travail. 

J'espère sérieusement que vous savez ce que vous faites John - si vous
nous obtenez relégués alors lui serez unforgiveable dans mes yeux et
vous obtiendrez le sac. 

Mieux de la chance John vous pouvez avoir besoin d'elle.

Dear John

Just want to say that I really do believe we can pull clear
from the bottom four. Take a look at the teams around us, Oxford were
not better than us, Luton we beat 4-0 and played them off the park,
Swindon are nowhere near as good as us, Port Vale are not up to much
either. But I know that we are. We won the championship last season. A
team doesn't become a bad team over night. We just have to keep at it,
keep playing, and keep working hard. I went to the Reading match on
tuesday night, it was scrappy but the team did work hard for each
other. Reading were reduced to a couple of chances and I think on the
whole we deserved the win. We need to show that spirit and
determination in league matches, after all the league is most
important. Keep up the good work!!!

Dear John

listen to us hollins u geek! can't u see that our current
squad are no were near strong enough to stay in the second division.
either u sort it out or u will see us in the basement league for yet
another season. sort it out or get out. it's your choice!

Dear John

Don't listen to the people who are asking you to buy new
players, they obviously don't realise that the manager does not sign
the cheque book.  The owners of the club pay the wages and buy the
players not you so everyone should appreciate the situation you are
in.  Obviously with a squad of 30 it is far too big for a club of our
size.  If you could cut it back to say 24 it would be ideal.  The
teams at the top of the division are proof.  Unfortunately clubs may
not want to buy any players (and who can blame them after some of
their performances) so we are in a catch 22 situation which is
difficult to get out of.  We obviously don't want to give them away so
do we offer them new contracts to stop them going on a free and hope
we can sell one or two of them.  What would you do John?  Tough
Question.  Keep asking the money men and give them your opinions John.
 Go with what you believe is right for this club and don't listen to
those who know nothing about the game or the fans who think you should
resign.  You're the most genuine manager we've had at this club for a
long time.  PS  I also think a quick sweeper for cover in the centre
is worth a try.  

Mike E
Swansea
28-01-01

Dear John

I know this season has been dissapointing so far but i feel
that you are still the right man for the job. The signings that you
have made with your limited resources have proved to be shrue
investments. Saverese being top goal scorer, I know that if you had
more money t spend that you would become one of the most succesful
managers in Swansea's History but I know this is not possible with the
current cash situation.

Anyway i am writing to ask you to please give the club all you have
and stay and fight for a club that needs you. Selling the want away
players, players who don't share the same feelings about this club as
you and I do would also bring in extra team spirit as well as reduced
wage bills and added money.

A Sweeper system would be good as well as The current bunch of centre
halfs at the club are just not quick enough to caatch the strikers of
the second division and we have been made to pay for this this season
(Lua Lua, Defoe, Rammel and Liddel.)

You know how good it was after Exeter and Rottherham last season try
and remind the players of this and they have nothing to be afraid of.

Dear John

I am very sorry to say but i seriously think that Swansea
have not been playing to their best standard. I couldn't get to
Walsall last week but i think we played very poorly and that Roger
Freestone let us down a lot, I seriously think that he is getting to
old for all this now and maybe you should think of getting a younger
goal keeper who is more enthusiastic in what he does. A commited
Swansea city fan.

Dear John

Just listened to you on Swansea sound calling the supporters who booed
the team off the pitch "idiots". Well John, if you keep putting out a
team that "performs" like that then we'll keep booing until you either
bring in the players we need, (which it appears you don't want to do),
or you resign and make way for a manager that will.

why dont you stop being a yes man and resign,thats all you

I think sometimes I could do a better job than you.  If
there is no money for signings why dont you just tell us we cant buy
anyone because it is obvious to everyone we need strengthening,
especially in midfield.  I dont mean to sound Like im having a go at
you because I am a big fan of yours.  I am sorry but I do feel the
players are letting you and us down somewhat.

A much needed win for the team & supporters.Now where do we go from
here, I hope that this excellent win was not a one off.Whatever the
problems behind the scenes YOU are the man to get us back on
track.Lets face it John you have had very little money to play with,
got us out of div 3, hopefully keep us up this season, and progress &
improve next season.You need support & backing from the board to be
successfull.I hope you can use all your experience & good management
to turn this club into a successfull club. Lets not forget, that we
are a Team & that stems from the boardroom down to the supporters.

the second half. And i was very happy to see steve jones get a goal. I
hope you can keep it up now. Lets hope they can do the same on

today was that cardiff lost. good luck to all the team. Dont let me

theres a message there that says that i shouldn't support Swansea.
Well paying £10 every home game and travelling to 50% of away games,
watching poor displays week-in week-out i thing that i deserve
answers! Get some new people who want to play for Swansea and get them
fast.

hi john, u want to say that what stuart davies sayd bout the
swans is a load off rubish.he should not support swansea city if  he
feels like that. he is not a true supporter. swansea are going through
a ruff time  but they will get through it. and there defently not the
worst in the second division. good luck to all the swans and i would
just like to say that i met david romo and mathew bound last night in
the book store and would like to say just how nice they are. i had my
photo with them and they were lovely. good luck to both of them there
both brilliant players. luv rhiannon

I think that this team has no Commitment or passion.
Saverese touches the ball about 5 times in a game and Watkin the Same.
They do not Shoot from further that 6 yards out. Please do Something
as i feel you are the man for t6he job but you have to much Faith in
our team, and they are Probably the Worst team in Divison 2.

Dear John

I have been a follower of the Swans since my youth growing
up in the valleys.I saw them play against Ipswich, Spurs, Everton,
etc.....

I am pleased to see them gain promotion but I have to admit, living
near Ipswich, I don't get to see many games!!

I am hoping to get to see them against Cambridge and Colchester (the
nearest teams to where I live!). 

Good luck. Football is a game of confidence. A team which stormed the
division last May cannot be bad enough to drop out of that league!!
Play with heads held high, and thoughts of winning. Since your
arrival, there is at last, hope.After 18 years without much going on,
Swansea are on the up!! Some 'budgie'fans (Norwich) reckon that the
game you gave them last year in the Worthington Cup was the best
opposition they'd seen all year. 

I think you have done a great job, and keep ploughing on.

Dear John

I've just seen on the BBC webpage that Dean Saunders has
turned down a loan move to Dundee United because he doesn't want to
move his family to Scotland. Now the lads old man still lives in
Swansea doesn't he, I'm sure he'd love to retire on the coast, his
birthplace, get Deano back at Swansea...he'd play his heart out for
us, and teach a few of the youngsters a thing or two about passion.

All the best otherwise, I'm sure you'll sort it out by Christmas

Dear John

good afternoon john, or is it?

at present, everyday seems a bitter pill to swallow!
constant bad news or rumours surrounding the vetch field, us the fans
deserve better!!! and that is a fact, we turn up week in, week out,
pay our hard earned money at the turnstiles to watch our heroes play
the game we all love, including your good self!

it is very disatisfying to see people like neil mcclure and mike lewis
associated with the club let alone running it! i would say the
majority of fans have faith in both you and alan and what you are
trying to achieve, your recruits have been of very good quality and
the strides we made last season were magnificent!

i look at cardiff and see a wealth of investment pouring into their
club and recouping all that welsh talent that seems to be slipping
through our net! i ask of you, when will you make a stand to neil
mcclure and demand money for transfers that will take us up the
league. i bet you get the same questions thrown at you of late. but we
deserve answers, i dont suppose N.M or M.L is gonna supply us with
any!

i ask of you, a great footballing man! do you see what we can from the
stands? you were quoted in the evening post saying " if anyone who
thinks my players are lacking confidence, then they are waytching a
different game to me". well it is apparent that we are watching a
different game to you. also the general feeling regarding your timing
of substitutions, is that you leave it to a time where the sub has no
real time to become effective. we respect you are the manager and you
make the decisions but surely you can understand our frustrations, or
can you? have you tried sitting in the stand and leaving alan make the
decisions, maybe then and only then will you be able to understand!
but we do have a voice and we certainly have opinions!

its about time something very positive happened down the vetch,
regarding quality signings, established pros!!!!!! that can make a
huge difference to our season! loan, short-term, long-term, permanent
whatever will get us out of this rut! just take a look at rotherham
john, we finished champions, yet their investments in players like
mark robins may well take them up again????????

all the best for the rest of the season if you are still in post! i
would appreciate your reply or any comments you may have to share!

a very concerned swansea jack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear John


          I think your doing a fantastic job at the vetch. I rememeber
          last season when we were going through a purple patch, but
          we came out of that with flying colours. And I think we will
          do the same. Something tells me that since Steve Hamer has
          left we haven't been doing so well, I don't know weather
          that has something to do with it. Whatever it is I beleive
          we can get through it, we can't become a bad team over
          night, lets face it this is the same side which won the
          championship last season at Rotherham. So come on John, lets
          lift our heads and get something up at Cambridge, then lets
          aim for the three points against Bristol Rovers a week
          saturday, we can do it and at the end of the season I
          believe we can finish in mid table. I'll be down there
          singing my heart out against Bristol Rovers, as should every
          other swans fan.

Dear John

You have done a brilliant job since you came here but at the moment i
think you have lost the plot.  You keep taking off our good players
i.e. Rome and Savarese when we need them the most. You also keep
playing players out of position. Why do you keep playing Price he does
nothing for us and then lets the oppersition score.  I am only 14 but
what i have seen in recent weeks hame and away is worse then when Alan
Cork was here. I know we are in a higher divison but we are just no
perfoming and you are not getting the lads up for it.  I belive you
should drop Watkin and play Boyd. Drop Price and play Steve Jones. 
Play Appleby instead of Jenkins and buy a left sided winger. Hope you
turn it round and see you at Bournemouth.

Dear John

I would like to comment on the poor performance against
Oxford.Before the game we were saying that if we lost today then we
definatly in trouble. The team was more or less perfect except for a
lack of motivation amongst the team and this has to point to the
management.

I am a season ticket holder for the fist time and am regreting it at
the moment.I feel that we need some new faces within the management to
try and get the team somewhere or else we will be going back down to
division 3 although we had such a good season last year.

I hope there is better to come or there is going to be a lack of
support for club in the future.

Dear John

I recently wrote to you  about the terrible
performance against Port Vale I watched the match against an
impressive Bristol City side and was glad to see our boys playing the
way we know they can. I thought Savarese played extremely well and
chased everything all night showing his willingness to do well for the
club. Also the return of Ritchie Appleby and Walter Boyd cheered me up
and made me look forward to the forth coming matches.Did you notice
John Hartson scoring AGAIN for Wimbledon we still think he would
relish the chance to play for his home town club. Money would not be a
problem as myself and some friends could easily put some pocket money
aside for the transfer fee. Good Luck against Oldham and hopefully we
will pick up the 3 points if the game is on.   

Richard Passmore
Swansea
3/11/00

Dear John

John I am a season ticket holder for the north bank and I
found the performance against Port Vale was unacceptable. I'm sure you
had your reasons for not playing David Romo but aswell as others I
belive he's our best player and surely could at least start the game
and then come off toward the end if you felt he needed a rest. Also it
is no good just buying a good striker, we also need someone out wide
or in the centre to supply him. I will be there tonight supporting the
team as always and hopefully I will see a much improved performance
with both new boys playing at their best. I belive that when Boyd is
fit he would make a great partnership with Savaresa. Also I am sure
you've noticed John Hartson's desire to come to the Swans so perhaps a
cheeky bid would lure him to the South Coast.

Dear John

after watching todays performance against bury, i wonder
would a loan striker be a suitable solution to the goals problem
whilst you search for our new number 9. tommy mutton does not have the
experience or strength so it seems and walter needs to be fed
through-balls because he just lacks aerial ability. perhaps when mr.
appleby returns he can provide support with a free role??

also is it true that michael keegan came from southampton trainees??

ps. ignore your doubters, look what happened when u did that last
season! we got promoted!

good luck

Dear John

I read with interest that you are linked with the post of
Millwall Manager.  I have been in Hong Kong for nearly thirteen years,
and not since the time I left Wales have Swansea had such an astute
Manager.  Please do not leave. I think, judging from all the Web-Sites
that I visit you are the Man to take the Swans "back" into the First
Division, where they, and YOU belong.

Dear John

If you are so determined not to sign a striker!,then play
Cusack up front all the time instead of Mutton.Against Luton,it is
probably one of the best performances that I have seen Cusack
display.He won the balls in the air and showed some good creative play
when on the floor.It was great to see us playing some short,slick
passing.It also proves that when we create chances,we can put them
away.So far this season,we haven't been creating chances.Well done to
Lee Jenkins and Gareth Phillips.Their performances were excellent and
it shows what the youngsters can do.They are hot prospects.Good luck
in Reading.It may well be our toughest game so far this season.We'll
be there to cheer the boys on.

Dear John

I am twelve years of age and i am writing to you 
tell you that i think that we might be a bit more sucessful if we
signed a new striker to partner Walter Boyd or just as back up. As
Julian Alsop left we have lacked goals, not that Alsop scored many but
he was decent and would have been back up for Water Boyd.
         
We also lack width when we play if you watch any Premiership
club they have all got width and the abillty to cross the
ball into the danger area and we have not got that. I would
like to see Coates working down that left side and getting
into the box (a bit like Ryan Giggs).

Dear John

The topic of getting a striker will be ongoing until we get
a quality one. Everybody knows that we will are in the s**t when
walter or watkin get injured. However, you are doing a great job and I
can understand that you don't want to get any old striker who won't do
the job for us. Why has everyone forgotten that we won the
championship last season? We are all behind you.

As for Wannacot, if you don't want to support the club you can always
go down the road to join up with your uncle sam. I stand on the north
bank and I bet you are one of those t***s who one minute love hollins
and the next abuse him only for the next day loving him again.

Dear John

I think you are doing a brilliant job at the club. If it
wasn't for you we would still be in div 3. I believe you are trying
your best to bring in a striker, it must be hard and very frustrating
for you and everyone else at the club. I think the Result on Bank
Holiday Monday was a huge one, thats just what we needed. I even fancy
our chances at WBA. Take them to pens!!! I think we will finish this
season off in mid table and really go for it next year. Keep up the
good work John!

Dear John

Sign some decent players, you are meant to be the man in
the know, personally I don't reckon you know anything at all and a re
a weak man.  The scenes on the NB on Saturday will be repeated if you
don't pull your finger out, you are fast becoming a bloody joke.  We
don't want unrest just a team that at least you have tried to do your
best with, quit the puppet man antics and have some pride in yourself.
 Or do you like being dominated ?

And Harding below, get a life you loser, whats the problem? Like being
lied to by this lot do you, I bet your Mrs gets away with murder you
southern softy. 

Get some nouse joker.

Dear John

 I support swansea city and probaly will all my life this
season i was determined to buy my own swans top and saved to raise the
£40.00 for the top eventually i got there and was over the moon when i
wore it for the first match but it all opened and was a mess so i took
it back and it was sent away  it came back all shapes and looked
terrible on so i took it back and had a new one by now i was on my
third top and guess what its still the same !! im really dissapointed
ive been offered a refund but if i wanted a refund why buy the top if
swansea wants to look like a proffesional team how about proffesional
looking tops they are really letting us down at the moment i have
taken my top to a dress maker and she was appauled with tops and
wouldnt pass them through her line !!!! i would like to write the
manafacture but thought you should be aware of the problem, first
thanks love vicky

Dear John

Why hasn't there been a striker signed over the summer? at
the moment we have an outstanding defence, and our midfield will do,
but Walter's injury as well as Birdy and Julian leaving has showed how
weak our squad is when it comes to strikers. Nick Cusack is a good
player, but against Wigan he proved that he is most definately no
longer a centre forward. When Tommy Mutton came on he had a few good
touches and he worked hard but deep down, he will never be second
division class. We need somebody who is proven to do the business who
will score atleast 25 goals a season. Steve Watkin has played at this
level before and has shon that he has got what it takes and Walter
should now be able to play his own football now that he is playing at
a higher level where the ball is no longer kicked in the air.  However
if one gets injured then it will be the same old story which has
happened to the club over many years due to there being no class up
front. Marco Gabbiadini would have been a good signing as well as
coming cheap but instead all transfer talk is about some has-been who
a while ago played for Chelsea. We need a striker now.

Dear John

Jan Molby sells Kiddys best player to Greenock Morton for £25.000 + 15%
of any sell on fee (to repay and outstanding favour).Andy Brownrigg is
worth at least £200.000.
John Hollins gives Julian Alsop away to Cheltenham.Last season Ruhden
offered £100.000.

Doesn't this tell you something about the judgement and intrgrity of our
past and present managers?

Dear John

Please dont let us down like has happened numerous times times 
before.I am looking at papers and tv everyday and there is no transfers 
taking place.You have taking us one step foward but unless the players 
start coming in then sadly it will be two steps back (e.g.Cardiff).We 
desperatley need a goalscorer to stand any chance of holding our own next 
season.We have seen this happen in the past.You are doing a great job but 
reality is that we will do nothing next season without 2 or 3 good 
signings.Lets see it happen john.
