The following statement will be published shortly on the Trust website.
'The Swansea City Supporters' Trust would firstly like to congratulate Huddersfield Town Football Club and its Supporters’ Association on confirming its status in the Premier League for another season, unfortunately for us almost certainly at our expense.
When Swansea City were promoted to the Premier League in 2011, we were similarly unfancied to remain in the division. However, we confounded our critics by playing an exciting brand of football on our way to safety, at the expense of more established Premier League clubs who were on a downward trajectory.
It is with sadness that the Supporters’ Trust notices the parallels between our current situation and that of those clubs relegated seven years ago. As a football club we have lost our footballing way and our footballing identity, making poor, usually reactionary, decisions time and time again. The Swansea Way, for so long a source of considerable pride, has not existed for some time
The Supporters’ Trust has previously urged the majority owners of Swansea City Football Club to implement a full review of the running of the footballing side of the club. We have also previously expressed a lack of confidence in Huw Jenkins and called for his removal as Chairman of our football club. Our concerns were well justified and the view of the Supporters’ Trust remains the same in this regard.
The Supporters’ Trust urges the majority owners to take this opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the last few years and implement the necessary changes to ensure our football club regains its sense of identity. If we fail to do so, there is more chance we will struggle further rather than regroup quickly and challenge to regain the Premier League status we have now almost certainly lost.'

As mentioned in our recent email to members, we will be issuing a statement next week relating to the Trust's shareholding and the next steps.

Wow, so the trusts First line is to big up Huddersfield. Fůck my eyes.
""Although I cannot promise or predict the future, I can guarantee one thing - the current board of directors will always fight, as we have done over the last 12 years, to work together as one with the Supporters Trust to make 100% sure that Swansea City football club remains the number one priority in all our thoughts and in every decision we make."
Far too little and far too late. Absolutely pathetic stuff from a pathetic group of cowards.
With what's gone on the least we can get is an indictment of the board and the owners, one that rightfully reprimands them. Instead we get the same old timid bullshit from a lot who are too timid to upset the parasite Yanks.
Seriously the current trust members need to be forcibly removed from their positions and new fans put in place.

I assume this is a wind up and that Joe has typed this up as a cheeky dig at The Trust, and it isn't actually their own statement. There is no possible way they wrote and approved that in this situation.

I can do a creditable few lines in bland, Dwight.
That's Premier League bland. I'm fighting relegation from league one...

I just saw them publish it, oh dear. The clubs relegation is probably the best thing that could happen to them in terms of uniting the fan base, instead they use this opportunity to express wishes to Jase and Steve to learn some lessons and that's about it.
It's humiliating for everyone involved at The Trust. McDonald, Lewis and whoever else had a hand in this and recent events, you are all a disgrace to Swansea City and you'll go down in the history books on the same side as Jenkins, Dineen, Morgan, Jase and Steve.
I would like to add some overly dramatic inspirational music that just gets you all up and out of your PC chairs ready to take on the whole world. It should compliment the whole statement and make things sound even more damn 'Kick Ass'!
