I suppose it won't be long before the club quietly slips in to the hands of 'new' owners.

I'm sure people will try and read more into this than meets the eye, but looks like he was offered a no-brainer career move and took it, as we all would.

Good. Fck him ( to quote someone on here) never trusted the guy from the off and never got the whole fanboy worship of him

Hopefully Steve, Jake and Jase aren't now going to run the club from across the pond. We could easily do worse than Birch.

A lot worse, as we’re probably going to find out.

What happens to his shares? Or did he sell to Silverstein

 

[Dr. Winston]

Done a good job steadying the ship here. Moving to Spurs would be a no-brainer.

Hope to Christ Silverstein is up to it.

‘New management structure’ hope it’s not all Yanks.

Worrying

Was he on contract? Was it a deal? Any money coming to us from Spurs for compensation?

He looks like he has far too much on his plate to be running the day to day operations of a professional football club. Surely someone else is hired to take over Birch's responsibilities.

The Yanks positivism/deluded optimism * (delete as necessary) knows no bounds.

The trust's statement seems to suggest they either hold the tanks at least partially responsible for his departure or maybe that they aren't happy with the lack of urgency / preparedness maybe in mitigating his departure? Anyone else infer this from the statement?

 

[MajorR]

Trying to look at this objectively, it would suggest to me that people inside the game who know the going’s on have looked at what he’s done at Swansea, have been impressed and made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. Going to Spurs is a big step up and Birch is probably getting a big pay rise and will be nearer hs family.

I am hoping that he’s left the Swans in a position where the club is over the worst of the medicine and his successor can move the club forward.

Did he kiss the badge before he left?
