    Cameron has been appointed Assistant Manager at Leeds United. Great news for him, and I wish him well, although I'm no fan of his new employers.
    I'm surprised none of the regular posters on here have mentioned this, but perhaps not.... ☺
    He had an exemplary record with the U23's, and I felt he deserved a crack at the top job at Swansea. One for the future ?

    To be honest Vetch, I knew nothing about this until I saw your post.

    An excellent opportunity for him - could put him in pole position to be the next Swansea manager <cheers>

    Yes good appointment for him and I wish him well even though I share Vetch's opinion of Leeds. Strange week for Cameron with the news about big John.

    I remember it well. He brought much joy to the old Vetch Field. Happy days jammed into the North Bank.

    I think that the fans would have welcomed his appointment, and with his father’s contacts - at home and abroad - it could have worked out pretty well <cheers>

    Former Wales manager John Toshack is "on the mend" after being seriously ill with Covid-19 and pneumonia earlier this year.

    The 73-year-old was hospitalised in Spain in February but came out of intensive care in March.

    Toshack's son Cameron, Leeds United's assistant head coach, says his father's health is improving.

    "He is on good form and he is making a recovery, which I am pleased to share with you," Cameron said.

    "I speak to him regularly now. The most pleasing thing is he is on the mend and his health is a lot better.

    "I am hoping to see him maybe not in the international break, but certainly when the World Cup comes around. I am hoping to either go out to Barcelona or have him back in Wales."

    Toshack senior, who managed the likes of Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and Swansea City, spent time on a ventilator, with his condition at the time described as being very serious.

    But Cameron Toshack says the former Liverpool striker has been well enough to give him tactical advice ahead of Leeds' Premier League game against Chelsea on Sunday.

    "I spoke to him yesterday and he gave me a tutorial about playing against a back three, particularly with the likes of [Thiago] Silva, [Kalidou] Koulibaly and [Cesar] Azpilicueta, which made me smile," he told BBC Radio Wales Sport.

    Cameron joined Leeds' staff in early March, shortly after Jesse Marsch was named head coach at Elland Road.
