"And as it transpired the U turn in retaining Josh Marsh in a player recruitment / scouting role"
Was it a U turn or were media sources being fed incorrect information (not for the first time in the Martin era)? If the latter then that certainly explains why he was pissed off at the time.
In any case, I found the family related stuff a bit cringy but he comes across as wearing his heart on his sleeve, which can sometimes be a good thing. Certainly looks like he's going to be the proactive type. |  |

Yes that comment made me feel sick.
I can't see our lot buying Into that. |  | | |

I watched the video.
It's a cultural thing I think rather than a criticism. Americans do seem more interested in sharing personal details than Brits do. | |

Nothing wrong with that though seems to wear his heart on his sleeve.
But at least he is communicating with fans so we can't really complain. | |

Very true, if he is honest and communicates then that can only be good. | | | |

The Americans claim on Ireland persistently annoys me. As they do many. He didn’t need to say that. But that’s in his make up I suppose. Anyone without immediate parentage to the country really isn’t anywhere near irish ( for me ) | |

Not sure why he felt it would resonant with us, a Welsh Club . Just hope we don't have to suffer the irritation , for me St Patricks day . | |

Looks and sounds like a loon. Looking forward to seeing how he gets on, before the wheels inevitably fall off as some stage, hopefully later rather than sooner. |  |

Definitely got a 'Ted Lasso' vibe to him  but he seems passionate and committed so encouraging, at least  |  | | |

Swansea Fans appear to assess all his words with intensive scrutiny. He is not John Lennon. Some crazy assessments made on the basis of two or three inert talks or tweets.
I reckon he will ruffle a few feathers and be good fun. Swansea have become dull and 'touchy feely' with Winter s not showing huge vitality and Martin talking to much about things he does not understand and possibly allowing players too many liberties.
Coleman has made a big commitment to Swansea investing a "significant sum" and bringing family over. The US guys might have seen how 'Reynolds and the Yank' have engaged up in Wrexham and wondered how the hell they did it. I suggest they bring over some glamorous Netflix actors and actresses to share the love. [Post edited 3 Jul 2023 14:20]

I for one like the cut of his jib.
His reference to the Old Country is one I understand and share.
Nothing wrong with that.
Seems like our Chairman, DOF and manager are all going in with 100% commitment
Exciting times for Swansea City on and off the field

So is he an owner. I see the mention of a "significant sum" but nothing registered on companies House.
Unless I have missed it, if that is the case I apologise. |  | | |

Coleman seems a decent bloke but lacks experience which has to be a concern.
I worry that Duff and Watson will be spending the next few weeks helping him when it should be the other way around. | | | |
| Andrew Coleman : A personal address to the Swansea City squad in Spain on 21:24 - Jul 3 with 2327 views | Dr_Winston |
Watson will be running the football operations. Coleman the club itself. There's not an awful lot that he'll have to learn how to do as long as he lets PW get on with it, and why bother bringing him in if not to do just that? | |

Anything Duff, Watson and Coleman will need will still need sign off from Kaplan, Levien, Silverstein and maybe others. | | | |

Time will tell.
He will either be a big success or fall flat on his face.
I can’t see anything in between happening.
Big investment ? For a man of his stature I would hope it’s 10m plus. Or no need to mention it. |  |

Seems to be the point.
Big noise has been made about putting different processes in place after January and Coleman and Watson are a big part of that. Remains to be seen of course but we're not exactly hanging around in the window so far. | |

I’ll be honest I have limited knowledge on the investment from Coleman, but this should be reflected at companies house surely ? Mentioned this to a mate today and he said, maybe he hasn’t invested in the club but somewhere else ?
Baffled ? | |

This transfer window is encouraging so far.
As is everything about the club this summer.
New manager
New players
New DOF
New chairman
New investment
We seem to have a plan.
Not having to listen to Martins endless bull
Fans onside
What is there not to like. | |
