Luke Williams expresses regret to Swansea City fans amid West Brom job speculation, clarifying his commitment to the club.
There’s been a lot of chatter lately about him possibly taking over at West Brom, especially since he didn’t shut down the rumors when asked. Even though he’s still the favorite for the job, reports suggest he’s not really in the running anymore.
Interestingly, there hasn’t been any official contact from West Brom, but the buzz just kept growing, especially with a game against them coming up. Some fans are feeling a bit uneasy about his future, but Williams reassured everyone that he’s committed to Swansea. He admitted he should have taken the speculation more seriously.
“I apologize for that,” he said. He’s really happy at Swansea and can’t imagine leaving. He shared a funny moment when he got off the train and a fan told him not to go.
He feels privileged to be at Swansea and doesn’t want to walk away from that. He understands the fans’ concerns and regrets if he seemed uncommitted. He thought the rumors were just silly and didn’t realize how serious they were for others.
Williams mentioned he’s not on social media, so he sometimes misses things. He’s heard about betting odds changing and people saying his agent was in talks, but he insists there’s nothing to it.
He’s focused on making Swansea the best it can be. “I’m definitely not going anywhere,” he said, unless someone tells him to. He feels like he’s just getting started and wants to see his contract through, which runs until 2027.
When asked about his long-term plans, he said it depends on his performance. He knows the club won’t keep him if he doesn’t deliver good football. He’s ready to work hard to prove he deserves to be their manager. He hopes to see his contract out as a minimum.
