Snoop Dogg, you've been warned! New Swansea investor told to lean on Luka Modric and refrain from 'picking the players'

The rap superstar has become the latest A-list celebrity to invest in British football. He joins the likes of Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, Tom Brady, JJ Watt, Will Ferrell and Michael B Jordan.

Snoop has also joined Ballon d’Or-winning Real Madrid legend Luka Modric at Swansea. Ambitious plans are being pieced together off the field in South Wales, with the hope being that success will be mirrored on it.

Swansea will be competing with the likes of Wrexham and Birmingham in the 2025-26 Championship campaign, as they all take aim at the Premier League, but big names in the boardroom have been urged to stay in their lane.

Welsh tactician Tony Pulis - who has managed at the likes of Stoke, Crystal Palace and West Brom - told sports betting siteBetVictor when discussing notable arrivals at Swansea: "Would I be pleased if someone like that came into a football club? Yeah, as long as they didn't poke their nose in and start picking the team and picking the players and picking the tactics, it'd be no issues to me.

"I've met Luka Modric. What a wonderful, wonderful man. An absolutely fantastic player. Top, top player. And I mean a top, top player, but he's a fantastic lad as well. Having Luka around would be unbelievable. Snoop Dogg, I don't even know what he sings!"

Swansea do not need Snoop to perform, they are looking for him to help raise the club’s profile - which in turn will generate more money and interest. The Swans are counting down the days to a season opener against Pulis’s former employers Middlesbrough on August 9.
