New chairman - Trevor Birch? 21:23 - Mar 9 with 44935 views

Trevor Birch is expected to become the new Swansea City chairman, replacing Huw Jenkins. Birch, former chief executive at Chelsea and Leeds, and an ex-player, is a chartered accountant & global head of Duff & Phelps' sports industry practice. He puts out financial fires 1/4

Understand his job will be a “restructuring” one at Swansea. Clearly another sizeable financial hole (believed to be about £30m) to fill in the summer. With his expertise across finance/football, Birch has been identified as the man to oversee that task and more 2/4

Birch has previously worked for, and advised, a number of football clubs with financial “problems”, including Portsmouth, Bolton & Aston Villa (he is an insolvency specialist among other things). Swansea, however, is expected to be a permanent and long-term role 3/4

In the past Birch has helped clubs find fresh investment with a view to changing ownership. But I don't believe that will be the case at Swansea. Jenkins' shoes needed to be filled, he'll step into them, take control of the day-to-day running & manage the financial, er, mess 4/4

Neither was our last chairman.

And a big salary works out a lot cheaper than endless mistakes. So fingers crossed.

If he is coming it means we are in really deep shite.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Quite frightening. Look at his recent clubs.

Writing on the wall people. Stuart James will have been fed the info that it's a long term appointment. This is to resolve serious financial issues like Bolton

Where does this leave Pearlman?
I cannot believe a Championship club can afford salaries for the likes of Pearlman and Birch.
Is Birch earning more than what Jenkins was on?

Just in time for the summer, he needs to bring his trunks.

But at least they will have worked with the Trust to source and make the appointment. They did say they would after all, and they wouldn’t lie.

The Trust must be aware of his salary and feel comfortable for him to take this position if they were part of the recruitment process.
