Leon Britton's shock departure from Swansea City was announced on Saturday morning, just one week before Steve Cooper's men restart the 2019/20 Championship campaign.
The club legend has left his role as sporting director after less than a year in the position.
“I’m obviously disappointed to leave. But the time is right for me to take a break, spend some quality time with my family and enjoy the freedom and flexibility of a ‘normal’ life," he said.
Britton played in all four divisions for the Swans and was part of the side that played Europa League football following their Leaue Cup triumph under Michael Laudrup.
And his departure has inevitably hit the Jack Army hard.
They've been having their say on Britton's surprise exit on social media.
Here's the best reaction from supporters.
