E2: Josh Marsh - Transfers and Player Management

In this episode we are joined by Josh Marsh, Head of Football Operations at Swansea City.  Josh joined us in December 2022 for a conversation about his first six months in the role, what he sees as being done well and where he would like to improve, and how the process of transfers works within the club.  Josh also talked to us about his career journey, firstly as a Youth Team player at Wrexham, before moving into Scouting and later Recruitment & Player Management. He shared some insights about what is important in scouting, the key characteristic that he looks for in players, and how he works with the Academy team.

E1 - Jake Silverstein: Ownership, Sustainability & Plans for the Future

The TrustCast is an interview series hosted by the Swansea City Supporters' Trust. We aim to have compelling conversations with decision makers throughout the club, asking questions submitted by our members and the wider fanbase.  We were joined by co-owner and Director Jake Silverstein for our first episode. Jake talks about his background and experience as a sports club owner, his reflections on the past two years, and plans for the future of Swansea City. We also discussed the increasingly important topic of financial sustainability and the challenges around that, as well as the ups and downs of the transfer market, and the upcoming EFL TV deal negotiations.  We would love to hear your feedback on this episode and the format as a whole as we seek to deliver improved content for you.
