Swansea City in a quandary over experienced recruitment staff ? But why would that be ? 25th May 2026 08:00
Recently the name Jay Lefevre has been touted about as someone who is in the mix when it comes to recruiting and working with Club CEO Tom Gorringe. That’s good and bad news overall as the Swans are still without a Director Of Football (DOF) and a specialised football recruitment position. 0

if this is a power struggle the owners need to step in and sort, thought we had a fair team with worth so what on earth is going on ? he leaves for what ever reason not replaced and there is no sign of the promised D O F
why is it EVERY close season we have a drama ?
If the people at the top WANT to get to the promised land they must sort this mess out and quickly , or are they just like our last owners ? time will tell but not a good look at the moment

I would guess that there are procedures you have to follow to change key staff otherwise you will end up at a tribunal. The owners have too much at stake to let things slip, I expect things will click into place very shortly.

I am genuinely concerned regarding this with the summer transfer window fast approaching.

If I read you right - They are not changing key staff though. They have a DOF slot which has been vacant for months, and Worth has left his role.

They aren’t filling key staff areas, that’s the problem.

What do you think the hold up is. I think we are going to have a complete change in all administration roles including the top. There is a reason high profile staff have left after a reasonably short time. In the case of Worth did he leave by mutual consent without walking into another role, there must be a reason. Without clarification from Gorringe people will always speculate, especially when the official statement is so vague.

With the high turn over of the important staff over these last 18 months or more, the one constant has been Gorringe does that tell its own story ??

I am just thankful that by all accounts Worth has left us with all his work for this summer or we would be in real trouble, Tom Coleman suggests Reyes Cleary was top of his list and he’s a good player. It will get us through this summer I’m sure, but those names will probably dry up after this window. If Gorringe has forced this change it’s one of the strangest decisions for a while given how the squad is and the momentum we had, if Worth decided to leave on his own accord then the reason would be interesting to know because this high staff turnover seems to follow Gorringe around.

Cleary from what we know isn’t considered good enough, Swans tracked him all last season plus his club want million plus. ATM Not worth the risk.

If its the case we are just waiting for June and we get Mikael Dorsin, then I'll wait happily. But I'm scared Gorringe might be damaging what will be a crucial window especially for outgoings and replacing. Surely the higher ups have a good grasp on this and can't be letting Gorringe damage this window.

We need a man on the ground sent by the Americans to look at everything and say nothing to anyone here. Maybe an old, wise Italian man who wears a white suit and a fedora who can pick up the phone and say “Hey Borss, dis guy needs a word in his ear. What do ya want me to do to him borss?”

Unfortunately not in the realms of business where a role for a sporting director is full time all day every day. Let alone recruitment, liaison research and analysis which is another role in itself. It was successful last summer with permanent transfers so why change it ?

If he does know completely what he is doing then these two very important roles will be filled asap.

What has he done though? Americans brought in the big names as minor investors. What is Gorringe actually doing? I know hes made expenditure cuts. Got rid of people. Brought in ex Bristol Rovers guys. But I am not sure what else.
Anyone know? Seems to create instability whetever he goes and I sincerely hope I am wrong.

What surprises.me is Worths departure.....wasnt he connected with Cravatt?
Given the results of Worths research providing the likes of Stamenich,Widdell,Galbraith,Walta and Matos surely the ownership would be asking questions to as wht hes has decided to move on, wht Gorringe has yet.to fill the void and what are the plans to do so.

It seems we are faced.with yet another period of turmoil.

Just when we thougjt we had found a decent ownership yet kore questions about thie control appear

He's cut the £300,000 a year window cleaning bill, which if you delve into the detail was apparently actually stadium maintenance. Depends how you spin it.

a lot of EFL staff / execs will be on holiday at the moment including any potential DoFs?

And some potential candidates who may be wanted by various clubs may wish to wait until the leagues have been confirmed - waiting on clubs such as West Ham/Bolton etc.

Well I sense the guys on one hell of a power trip and would prefer it if he put OUR club first rather than adding to his CV as a multi skilled super hero. The owners should be here and overseeing matters. We are weeks away from a critical window.

Just seen a post saying Modric is due to retire post WC, wonder if this will be having an impact on this decision?

Obviously not ideal timing if, however unlikely, it happened

He won’t be signing for the Swans sadly.
I’m unsure if he has any plans to do much within the club, there has never been an indication.
Can’t see it but wouldn’t it be nice ?
