Montague

[magicdaps10]

I wonder if it's linked or got anything to do with that podcast with Luke Williams that has come out over the last few days!?

"The Swans said when Montague was appointed that he would "spearhead the club's recruitment strategy".

"However, Sheehan has regularly praised Adam Worth ( Dimi), who was promoted to global head of analytics and recruitment at Swansea in April, for his contribution when discussing the club's transfer work with the media this summer."

who is Dimi?

Negotiating deals + overseeing the recruitment department

So whys he going after such a successful window? (On the face of it)

Reading between the lines there (and no doubt coming out with 5 from 2+2), it may be that Monty wasn't pulling his weight as much as the owners would want?

Montague brought in by Coleman to work alongside Luke Williams in a new buy low sell high recruitment strategy, Williams went (probably unexpectedly to Montague) and this summer I wouldn’t say we’ve bought low? So are they working on a different strategy therefore Montague not needed now? Seeing as Gorringe/Modric & Snoop are all involved in getting players to join us.

That's how I see it to be honest

Im surprised he lasted this long. I think hes been on borrowed time since they got rid of Luke. It was terrible timing for him. Its almost as if they let him stay out out of politeness.

I think so.
He was the man who got the deals done. Ok, he wasn't the man who found the players but he was the one who got the deals done and that's the hardest part in the conveyer belt imo.

It doesn't seem to be anyone coming into the role externally so it's either someone within the club that believes or someone else believes can do the job OR they are going to run with no replacement.

That wasn't his role, it was the role of Gorringe to negotiate and get the deals done. Gorringe himself confirmed this

Used to post on here, massively critical about a lot of things. Ruffled a few feathers, but ultimately he’s proven he knows his stuff

Is going to be intersting to see what happens over the next few months. Then we will know if he knows his stuff.

I did a follow on post after this initial post you have replied too which suggests as you say

I think we must put our trust in whatever decisions the hierarchy make. I’m sure they will replace Montague with a more than capable replacement- that’s IF he is actually leaving.

There seems to be some cohesive structure behind the scenes now, so fingers crossed they make a progressive appointment.

Hi Dimi

In fairness he got Martin's number pretty quickly. Had many clashes with him over politics etc. but often agreed with his assessment of sport.
