Adam Worthless?

Did he have a blue face ?

No that’s Smurph.

What I’m unsure about is whether or not they really want a Director of Football. They got rid of Montague and seemingly were content to have Gorringe and Worth (and whoever else) doing the job but now they want a restructure?

We can only hope this is them realising the direction they want to go in and they’ll stick to it.

What experience does Rangel have to be Director of Football at a championship club? It would be a joke.

At least Michu is a DoF albeit pretty low level Spanish league.

None that I’m aware of.
Had a fantastic football career and currently managing Pontadawe kids team.

As I said, I think it’s as simple as new DoF sees responsibilities / roles in a certain way that was non negotiable to their appointment and Dimi didn’t want to work within that new structure.

It happens all the time. Nothing sinister needs to have happened even if it’s more ‘interesting’.

I imagine an appointment announcement will happen fairly soon.

One thing’s for certain. We have to stop pissing around with structures etc and make a decision and stick to it. It’s ludicrous how much we chop and change and must be costing us a small fortune.

He gave in that easy?
TBH I now see football in the same position as modern day poliitcs...I dont believe a word they say , and personally I have no idea who was resposible for signing who......and no i wasnt in the same room as Snoop dog.

Michu coming in wouldn’t be bonkers he has experience and knows the success the club will want, although 90% it wouldn’t happen and we will probably target someone with higher level experience I don’t think it’s mad he’d come in.

Didn’t he post teasing something Swans related months back?

I remember something along those lines

We have had very little success with past DoFs/Sporting Directors let's face it. Leon. Mark Allen, Josh Marsh, Watson and Montague.

Birch seemed ok but wasn’t here long. Seem to remember he communicated well.

He was Chairman I think but yes he was good at communication.
Nobody seens to stay in post long. Montague didn't last a year.
Marsh seems to be due a long service award. 18months

You only walk away from these situations if you have something to go to or if you are not happy with something.

Ah chairman, thought he was DOF but probably got that wrong.

Hmm. My thoughts are him and Gorringe stepped in when Montague fell short. They did two windows and club probably realised it was taking Gorringe from his main role. Or maybe he felt himself that he would rather deal with marketing. DoF would then come in to handle club business which would include recruitment. According to Indie theres no bad feeling and Worth is very well liked within the club. Hodges comments seem to back that up.
I just feel his role as a standalone recruitment bod will no longer exist under the new appointment. His LinkedIn post was quite a positive one I thought.

Just my thoughts. Could be miles off target.
Just looking forward to Saturday to be honest .

As I said, he probably didn’t want to work within the new structure. Perhaps some of his responsibilities around strategy were being moved to the new DoF.

I see no sign of anything even slightly more sinister than that.
