This is worrying...the BBC report says he’s going to look at his options and the club should have announced a new role within the club if he was staying....so I don’t think he is. I would have expected the club to have found a role for Angel as well, so the fact these two appear to be off to pastures new may indicate that there is a story brewing . |
Ambassador roles will be a thing of the past soon.
As much as I love Trunds /Leon/Rangel we are not going to be spunking money away on jobs for the boys in the near future.
They have become very wealthy men through Swansea City & I would much rather see staff who need the money to pay mortgages keep their jobs ....
That said all 3 (& others) should always be welcomed with loving arms by the club. |  | | |

I'm a huge fan of Leon. Always have been.
But genuinely, how on earth can we afford to pay him to be an ambassador at this point in time? Why do we need two full time ambassadors as a championship team? Maybe he's minted enough that we are paying him a pittance, but if that's not the case, surely it's better to keep on some of the poor sods who don't have the luxury of deciding what to do for the future rather than a player who's been on millions if cost savings need to be made?
Perhaps that's harsh. I don't know. But it doesn't feel right to me. [Post edited 11 May 2018 16:00]

It's not harsh and I have the same take on it as you! IMO it'll be no surprise whatsoever if he now ends up being used as nothing but a PR-pawn in a cynical strategy to deflect anger away from Jenkins and Co.
A deliberate attempt to hoodwink more naive supporters to think that the club is still the same unchanged Swansea City of old just because Briton has got profound emotional and sentimental connection/association with supporters.
If you put a cherry on top of a bowl of steaming sh#t?......It'll still be a bowl of steaming shit! |  |

Leon Britton for me is simply the most outstanding consistent player I’ve seen at our club. He was the oil in the engine, a superb technician and worth the entrance fee alone.
His retirement adds to the misery of a terrible week but I feel proud and privileged to have seen the master at work for so long.
My all time favourite Jack and for me, the best!

Sorry if this is a ferdy, but just read an interesting tweet, could of been off a poster on here actually.
When Leon makes his last appearance, it will be the final time someone who played at the Vetch would pull on the shirt. Emotional. |  | | |
