He is getting the best people in the best places he feels to help the club go forward. Tate, who played for Swansea in all four divisions, says he would look to bring in "someone experienced" alongside him should he become manager. Tate is convinced the Swansea vacancy will attract plenty of interest, despite the ongoing financial issues at the club following Premier League relegation in 2017-18. "The best teams I played in were the ones that played the philosophy that Roberto [Martinez] started," Tate added.
