But I'd have thought that a VC would be sat around the big long table with all the other big swingers, whereas a glorified waiter wouldn't be. |
VC is pretty much a ceremonial role. Not even a seat on the board. |  |

Really? So he doesn't stand in for the Chair? What an odd position to have then, is it a paid role? |  |

This could be considered a shrewd but also a sneaky and unnecessary move by the owners to get more fans onside |  |

I’ve already told you that.  | |

Seems to be an obvious ploy to get fans on board and one which could backfire. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

No he doesn’t stand in for the chair. He doesn’t sit in board meetings as far as I know. He’s not a board member. It’s a bit of a grace and favour type thing. No idea if it’s paid. Can’t imagine the current incumbent does it for free. It would be totally out of character if he does. | |

Getting the fans back on board maybe ? |
How does making Britton a Vice Chairman do that?
I can see his worth to Birch as a recent link with the past and with the playing side.
I can't see any promotion being undertaken for PR. |  |

Yeah I would have thought that in the event of birch going off on the sick or maternity or something then the vice chair in this case LEON would be the one stepping in to the breach and taking up the responsibility of sacking everyone on minimum wage and attempting to sell anything with a pulse. |  |

I can see the logic in Leon being involved on the football side of the house. Someone who was so intrinsic to what was good about us for over a decade would be an asset. Doubt he'd have the business or commercial knowledge needed for being Birch's deputy though, but then the VC role at the club has never been that anyway, it's always been a bit of a misnomer.
Anyway, as Clasey says, the VC position has no legal standing and the current VC isn't a director, as those of us who remember that kerfuffle a couple of years ago when he was hastily removed from the register on companies House will recall. |  |

Well the current VC doesn’t know anything about it.

If Dimwit is pissed about it, then it must be a good decision. |  | | |

This seems like an attempt to win over the thickest members of the fan base who'll think Leon is going to have an input on the players we buy, the way we play and other important issues.
The reality is he's just a pawn to appease the fans and will be present in the hospitality areas to kiss babies and take photos with gleeful adults. He'll be made to tow the party line in the media and get some fans on board.
I'm quite genuinely amazed at some of the posters who think this has any sort of sincerity about it. |  |

F*ck me, even positives get quickly turned into negatives on here
I'd love to see his football brain having an input at the top table personally.
Must be PR though  |

Can someone gently let Dineen know he hasn’t been Vice Chairman since they sold the Club😂 | |

I’d like to know what the role entails because it clearly hasn’t meant much for several years. |
Put someone everyone knows and likes in to a position like that, bridges gaps and Leon feeds everyone the bullshit.
Divide and conquer. |  |

Won't argue with that, It's a bit bittersweet with me i.e. sad if Leon Britton is used as the Yanks-mouthpiece to placate supporters anger/revolt but?... A absolute mega plus if Dineen finally gets stripped of his grandiose title, perks and privileges .
Nothing I'd love to see more than that treacherous sell-out being finally bulldozed into insignificance minus any title, V.I.P status or power. No longer being able to parade himself around The Liberty Stadium like he owns the place and having his obscene sense of entitlement taking a catastrophic hit (with his ego) is fantastic. |  |

Is that just a Swansea City thing, or is it like that at all football clubs? What i don't get then, if it is a paid role, what is the point of it? Surely we wouldn't just pay someone to sit in the posh seats and that's it? | |

No idea mate. It’s a non role from what I can tell. Ceremonial and allows the incumbent some status. Looks nice on his twitter bio too. [Post edited 18 May 2019 17:07]

In that case, they may as well give it to Prosser. | |

He’d be more popular that the incumbent and pretty much everyone hates Prosser. | |
