Sounds like one of those bulls**t jobs that don't actually achieve anything. The BBC and the Post Office are full of them, all on the taxpayer. |  | | |

I am honestly interested in exactly what he does. While we are trying to reduce the wage bill by reducing players wages. Surely there is fat to trim in senior management. Is merging jobs practical, possibly Chairman and Chief of Staff and Head of Strategy, do we really need both when we are losing so much money. | |

Absolutely no sympathy from me when they continually have to invest because they make so many terrible mistakes financially. | |

Many references to the Women's team. Some talk of increasing commercial sponsorship revenue.
Folks that say on one hand they do not understand what he does and then say it is a waste of money look a bit silly to me along with the golf jibes.
Coleman / Watson has to make a big difference or they are going home to Washington be It DC or Tyne and Wear. |  |

It depends on Watson' s work. For the first time I can remember the club has put a big emphasis on recruitment. The US people have realised how important it is.
Recruitment was low key in the Jenkins era. No one knew who David Ledbettef was and he liked it that way. | |

Why are you so sure the club is paying for his family? Have you seen his contact. If he was dead keen to come he would not necessarily ask for relocation expenses. If he was head hunted and the club were desperate to get him then they would need incentives.
Each case is different. | |

These guys are wealthy professionals not labourers that have won the lottery. They are here to work and prove themselves. There is no jolly paid for by Morris and the LLP. | |

And you mention work? Tell me what work has gude has done for the club? | | | |

It is insulting to make these references continually. You are buying into a anti Yank narrative.
The previous forum ownership built up a narrative that the US owners would never invest and would cut and run at the earliest opportunity . It was FAKE.
"They will go when the parachutes end" " they will never invest" they will never be based in Swansea" they " will never meet the fans".
All wrong just like the legal case. "A rock solid case " remember ? Except it was not.
Time to stop believing people on forums. Had anyone seen them golfing? | |

Answer the question please, what does gude do? | | | |
| Ken Gude on 16:15 - Jun 17 with 760 views | KeithHaynes |
We’ve done a few insights on the Indy.
https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/news/60469/the-man-behind-and
But the club haven’t ever divulged his successes or fields of interests since coming to Swansea. Nor what he is involved in and any areas of the Swansea City business. They’ve only cited what he has done.
As for payments to him, family, schooling, cars, housing etc …
That will no doubt come from the LLC as will Coleman’s cash. Which as we know is protected by the clubs hierarchy to the extent of who is in it, how much and any expenditure. So, you can kiss good bye to any transparency there because they won’t talk about it.
So, next year there will be plenty of people shouting about how Coleman and Gude work for nothing.

I posted the Trust Q and A piece. He gave answers in his own words. Corporate speak of course.
Raising commercial revenue was one. You will notice the Owners have brought in the "Come to South Florida" advert on the shirts. Perhaps there will be new sponsors on kits or training tops this season? Fans complained when the commercial team was local and small.
I cannot explain what the CEO of Tata Steel does but that does not mean he is playing golf all day. | |

Just read the Q and A. There are all sorts of jobs to be done. God knows what? Corporate governance stuff
Data systems appraisals appointments dismissals h&S plans. Setting up codes of practice. Safeguarding reviews of practices EFL requirement meeting agents checks on agents. Iso standards adherence.
They have 100 children in the academy and now have taken female teams.
The list goes on and on . Plenty to do. | |

I believe Rebeca Storer is in control of safeguarding and the other points you highlighted have their own administrative heads. Whether we need another level of administration I'm not sure we can afford it. | |

I met her once lovely lady. She has gone. Senior managers job is the verify things are done properly not do the jobs themselves. They carry responsibility. Coleman wanted help on top of what Winter had. He justified it to Levien who accepted his reasoning it seems.
The main thing is to improve performance and slash losses. Getting Wood out of the door for a good feeling would be a good start, settling the Martin claim etc.
Perhaps somebody in the ownership group brought this one home. Perhaps it was the LLP.

I thought she left 12 months ago as I read someone else was in her place then under that title. | |
