Swansea ace Leroy Fer issues rallying cry to supporters after Manchester United defeat
LEROY FER wants angry Swansea fans to back the players to save their season.
Leroy Fer has struggled for Swansea this season
Hostile supporters directed abuse at “greedy” club directors during the 3-1 home defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.
Chants of “Get out of our club” rang out around the Liberty Stadium aimed at board members, including chairman Huw Jenkins, for failing to invest in the squad before selling 60 per cent of the club to American investors.
Midfielder Leroy Fer, the only summer signing with Premier League experience, said: “If you don’t get the points then the crowd is going to be disappointed.
Swansea were thumped 3-1 by Manchester United on Sunday
Bob Bradley was appointed Swansea manager last month
“It’s a normal reaction but I hope they stick with us and keep us going.”
Swansea have struggled so far this season, winning just one of their first 11 games.
That came against Burnley on the opening day of the season, and even Bob Bradley’s appointment as manager last month has failed to spark an upturn in form.
Are these the BEST goals of the Premier League so far?
Summer signings Fernando Llorente and Borja Baston have failed to settle while Fer himself has struggled to make his mark.
Swansea currently sit six points clear of safety, with West Ham precariously close to the danger zone in 17th.
