Swansea City know they have to get this managerial appointment right. The Championship club have slid down the table at an alarming rate in recent weeks, picking up just 10 points from 12 league games ahead of the visit of Derby County on Tuesday night. Head coach Alan Sheehan was sacked earlier in November after just over six months as permanent manager, with his former assistant Darren O'Dea taking charge for Saturday's 3-0 loss at Bristol City - a defeat that left Swansea 20th, only four points above the relegation zone.

That night Arsene Wenger's team were so shredded in a 5-1 defeat by Bayern Munich that my Guardian colleague David Hytner likened them to the chicken feed from the lower reaches of the Bundesliga that Bayern routinely gobble up.
