    One of the daftest suggestions I’ve ever seen on here, and there’s been plenty.

    This is the disappointing thing. If he takes the Swansea job, it does suggest to me that he's not happy with the plans we have put forward for this season, as a promotion would've enhanced his reputation and he wouldn't have been far off being in the frame for genuine contenders for promotion to the PL.

    I think Frank should look at alternative means of employment :D The worst manager to grace the modern game.

    I'd sooner they say I'll give 100% while I'm at the club. That's all I want. Trouble is, he got our hopes up that he'd carry on the unfinished project..

    If its true he's agreed to a contract before martin as officially left. It don't look good on duff.

    What if Southampton pull out and think **** this?

    While officially, it should be a case of agreeing with the club before talking to the individual, I think it's very likely that Duff has given the nod to Swansea, for them to now be negotiating with the club over compo. The fact they are negotiating suggests they are looking to pay less than his contracted release fee.

    The club should outright refuse any offer that is within their power to do so.

    Personally, no. It seems many/most have though.

    If he goes he'll go with my best wishes. I'll be disappointed but let's be honest 99% of folk would move for better pay/prospects/conditions, no reason football managers or players should be different, especially if they're ambitious.

    I think you could be right he expects to lose players and it be a harder task.

    Never got that Michael Duffy song. It's not his name. Not sure why "Michael Duff's red and white army" didn't take off.:)

    For me, Duff would not be welcome back at Oakwell. Left the job half finished, jumped ship at first opportunity. Will not be getting a warm reception from me

    20 pages in it looks like that's the case. To make it clear, I don't know anything, but wouldn't be surprised to learn Swansea aren't interested and Duff wouldn't go even if they were.

    He'll probably double his wage, if not more.

    Would anyone complaining about him leaving turn that down themselves?
