I think you'd agree Darran, we're very lucky to have someone like Tom representing and working for the club.
Montague was lined up by Coleman months before. Williams was asked about it frequently by media.
Before I reply in full, I must add I don't see an issue with him myself.
Don't you start or I will send CD to sort you out

He will probably come back telling me not to be a tw@t
Thanks for that
It’s with a heavy heart that I have to say my time at Swansea City has come to a premature end in unexpected circumstances. We had an outstanding summer in which we successfully overhauled the squad improving the quality of the starting XI, adding greater depth and increasing the asset value within the playing staff. I’d like to say a massive thanks firstly to Andrew McGregor who came in and brought outstanding worldwide market knowledge and an incredible passion to make positive change. Secondly to Connor Rowden who has the most detailed emerging talent knowledge of anyone I have ever worked with and an invaluable ability to challenge the lazy norms that can exist in football. Without both of them working by my side we could never have achieved what we did and identified so many of the targets that ended up signing for the club. The club will sadly be losing a huge depth of knowledge with their departure. Lastly to Richard Montague, who has shown great trust in me throughout my career and handed me the opportunity to step into this role. Most importantly he is one of football’s good guys who gives everything for the job, acts with integrity and shows care for those around him. Without these qualities the club could never have secured the deals it did over the summer. It was an absolute pleasure to work so closely again and I took great pride in how we worked in tandem to bring the likes of Cameron Burgess and Zeidane Inoussa to the club at a difficult time when the club didn’t have a permanent Manager. I was excited for our vision moving forward continuing to modernise the talent ID processes of the club and to overhaul the reporting structure to bring increased granularity and improve both information flow and decision making. However, the club has decided to move in a different direction under the new strategy.This chapter has ended earlier than I would have liked, but I am incredibly happy with what we achieved in my 6 months with the club. We signed some outstanding players and characters in a testing environment and the playing squad is in a far better place than when we arrived. It’s been widely accepted that the club has had the best window in its recent history and for that I am incredibly proud. I hope this group we helped put together can go on and achieve the success they’re capable of this season and beyond. I am now looking for the next opportunity and open to work immediately. Please feel free to reach out with any potential roles to work in a process driven, forward thinking environment!
