Adam Worth

Why does it matter?

He’s hardly taking training.

He may be setting the plan........lol

Out of curiosity, I hope someone would know the answer to this.

It was put to me today, is Worth actually doing his job based in Swansea?

I would hope so, it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't though.

Such an important role, I would hope that he was in the building and face to face with others.
There should be close connections and not having people in these types of role not on point in the building, possibly being based in mainland Europe wouldn't be ideal.

I know it's the modern world and remote working is all the craze but I feel such an important role should atleast see a person based in or close to the City.

And also, has Gorringe now moved to or close to the City? Or is he still commuting from the west country?

There was genuine optimism on September 2nd, and I get that because most incoming transfers do create an air of positivity. However it’s a bit of a stretch to still maintain a positive view.

Its a bit like the Cussack window in the great escape season.

But then we signed Tommy Mutton and James Keaveney from Port Tennant Colts.

This time we have spent close on 20 million quid and it feels like a shit show again.

For the record I am.not just blaming Adam Worth but the whole recruitment set up as first impressions indicate serious failings.

It doesn't matter where he is based but I know for a fact he is not based in Swansea.

Could be on the moon for all I care providing the players that are signed are good enough.

It would be a lot better if he was in Swansea on daily basis working with the manager and being in and around the training ground.

We're much better together than chatting over a Teams call.

Maybe but if we were in the play off places nobody would care.

I really don’t think we need a recruitment person at and around the training ground!

Eyes on the ground and all that. I'd rather head of recruitment closer to the manager and players than further away.

It's been mentioned a few times we need real football people running the club. The only way you can a feel for things is being in and around it.

I'd rather someone hands on than at arms length.

 

[Londonlisa2001]

Not sure why you'd think that.

Because we’ve already recruited the ones at the training ground.

I'd edited my post, just after you'd replied.

Hollins signed Mutton.
Just saying.

That's a fair enough point but unfortunately we are not.

Maybe I am just a bit traditional and would rather all people involved are in close proximity.
However the right or wrong way is, I can only say that whatever way we are doing things presently is clearly not working. I just am not the type of guy who can stand back and say....there are your tools, now get the job done.

He is going to be a bit sheepish now

I'm the same as you. If someone is spending millions of pounds on players I'd like him to watch them perform in the flesh on a daily basis.

The corridor conversations with the manager, coaching staff are also worth (no pun intended) their weight in gold.
