Huw Jenkins has accepted that his position as Swansea City chairman will become untenable if the club is relegated this season and also revealed that he will consider standing down even if they manage to retain their Premier League status.

In a wide-ranging interview that was conducted at his own request amid a backdrop of mounting unrest, personal criticism and growing fears that Swansea are heading for the Championship, Jenkins acknowledged he has to take responsibility for the club’s malaise over the last few years. He described his failure to reappoint Brendan Rodgers as manager 18 months ago as his “biggest regret” as chairman, said that he thought Paul Clement should have been sacked sooner and admitted that Swansea, who provided a blueprint for others to follow not so long ago, have lost their way to such an extent that they have now “become like any other club”.

It came after one of the Newcastle keeper’s slowest days of the season, after what had often resembled a half-pitch, beat-the-packed-defence training exercise against a Leicester team largely too meek to threaten Geordie dreams.

Richarlison’s first Tottenham goals punish Marseille for Mbemba’s red card

By -
There was the obligatory pre-match footage of Lucas Moura’s winner at Ajax and then the declaration on the big screen at Tottenham’s magnificent stadium, one that is built to stage these kind of Champions League nights. “We’re back.” For so long, it appeared that the grand return after a two-season absence would fall flat, even when Marseille were reduced to ten men in the 47th minute following Chancel Mbemba’s last-man foul on Son Heung-min. It was a dreadful misjudgment by the former Newcastle centre-half.
