Preston also “monitoring” Bidwell situation

Wales Online are reporting that, whilst Birmingham lead the way, Preston North End are also monitoring the apparent ‘contract stand off’ between the Swans and Jake Bidwell.

Bidwell is out of contract at the Swansea.com stadium this summer and it looks unlikely that a new one will be agreed between the two clubs particularly given his lack of first team action in recent weeks.

Reports yesterday said that Birmingham were about to step up their interest in the defender and today we are told that Preston also are watching on with a view to potentially making a move for the player.

It still seems more likely that Birmingham will be the ones to move and it is anticipated that something on this could materialise in the course of the next few days but a second interested party may prove to be no bad thing as far as the Swans are concerned.

As ever, time will tell.

Been watching the Swans since the very late 1970s and running the Planet Swans website (in all its current and previous guises since the summer of 2001 As it stood JackArmy.net was right at the forefront of some of the activity against Tony Petty back in 2001, breaking many of the stories of the day as fans stood against the actions where the local media failed. Was involved with the Swans Supporters Trust from 2005, for the large part as Chairman before standing down in the summer of 2020.

Happy Birthday to a Swansea City legend

There are many occasions when the word legend is uttered in football circles when it is nowhere near deserved.ย  It is a word banded about very easily but the reality is there are very few who actually earn and deserve the word legend but one of them today turns 70…
