Keen-eyed Swansea fans have been quick to spot the unique contract signed by new boss Luke Williams when he was announced as the club's new manager.
Williams was appointed gaffer at Swans on Friday, returning to the club from Notts Country having previously been part of the coaching staff under Russell Martin.
His appointment was announced by the club on their social media feeds using a clever Star Wars-themed video, with Williams playing the role of Luke Skywalker, before showing photos of the 43-year-old signing his new contract.
However, if you look closely at the contract, fans have noticed some unusual terms that Williams agreed to when he took the job.
The contract contains three lines. Firstly, the new manager must become the 'legal guardian' of the mascots Cyril and Cybil Swan.

Others praised the terms on the piece of paper, saying “fair play that contract is good” and “some cracking details about that contract.”
While one fan was so happy for the club, he waxed lyrical, saying: “They had the opportunity to do the funniest thing and they took it.”
Williams became a highly regarded coach after guiding Notts County back to the Football League via the play-offs last season following an epic battle at the top of the National League with Wrexham.
His reign at the Liberty Stadium also got off to the perfect start, as his new League Two side defeated Morecambe 2-0 in the third round of the FA Cup.
The club are currently 16th in the Championship and have parted ways with Michael Duff after a run of just one win in eight games.
