And so it goes : Marsh & Winter on their way !

It won’t come as a surprise to our readers after we reported this in an exclusive early on Sunday morning. The savings to the club will come in at around three hundred and fifty thousand pounds with Josh Marsh and Julian Winter leaving Swansea City.

Winter held the title of CEO, and Marsh, Head of Football Operations.

We understand both have already spent the majority of the week away from the club and that new incumbent, once a few details are sorted, Paul Watson will carry out a more dynamic role which Marsh found continually difficult to deliver. Watson should join the club from Luton Town where he has worked admirably on a very low budget. In Marsh’s case whether that was a lack of experience or as a result of being restricted in his budget we are certain won’t be disclosed. However, he knew his budget and he knew what his parameters were.

Some will see this as a blaming exercise after the non event that was the January transfer window, others that Marsh especially was out of his depth in his role at Swansea. That’s a matter of opinion. Julian Winter is clearly not the man for the new investors to be in the position of managing their investment and once the dust settles the true figures of the investment will be divulged.

What to read next:

Some fans happier than others as Gray on the verge of joining Spurs
It’s been reported that Archie Gray has agreed to join Tottenham Hotspur and the clubs have shaken hands on a deal worth £40m. And it’s fair to say that the reaction of our fans on social media has been somewhat mixed.
Leeds reject offer from Gray but are still likely to lose him
The proposed deal to sell Archie Gray to Brentford has collapsed at the eleventh hour, but with Leeds needing to make sales to comply with FFP, it’s likely that we will sell him to one of the other clubs who are on his case. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa have all been mentioned.
Leeds start 2024/5 on a Saturday lunchtime
The fixture list for the new season was announced this morning, and Sky TV have got their talons into it already. Our opening game is at 12.30 at home to Portsmouth, as inconvenient as that is for the away fans travelling up from the south coast.
Mixed reaction from fans as Aaronson comes back for next season
In a surprise move, Brenden Aaronson has decided to return to Leeds for the 2024/5 season after talks with Daniel Farke. It’s fair to say that some fans are happier about this news than others.
Should they stay or should they go?
Leeds United have issued the retained list for the 2024/5 season, and while much of it confirms what we already know, on the face of it there are a couple of surprises.
Can Red Bull help Leeds to fly back to the top?
Today Leeds announced that Red Bull have bought a minority stake in the club, and will take over as the main shirt sponsor, but thankfully there will be no change in the name of the club or the colour of the shirt.
Marathe admits that PSR is likely to force player sales
The 49ers have plenty of cash available to invest in Leeds United, but defeat in the 49th game of the League season means that some key players will be leaving to keep the club with the Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) regulations.
Play-off jinx continues as Leeds lose to Southampton again
****ing Southampton. Again. ****ing Adam Armstrong. Again. ****ing Play-offs. Again. Grrrrrr.
