Surely they have this all mixed up? They reckon the Trust have pulled out of the medition planned for th end of the month. But they also say that this is the 2nd time it's happened. WTF are they talking about? Shit journalism getting things the wrong way round?
'We are surprised and extremely disappointed to have received notification from the Swansea Supporters Trust's lawyers today that neither they nor the Trust wish to attend the mediation which had previously been proposed to take place later this month.'
That seems to be unequivocal. It may be the Consortium is trying to pull a fast one but the DM are reporting what they have been told.
The trust have been saying all along that mediation is absolutely essential if they want to go down the legal route, so it makes absolutely no sense to pull out. Also, in the AGM they said that they were hoping that some of the sellers would attend.
What’s going on here then? The lawyers statement is pretty specific so not a journalist mix up. Unless it’s Daps posing as the lawyer? Doesn’t seem to add up so will need some clarity.

'We act on behalf of the Swansea City shareholders who sold the majority of their shares in the Club in 2016; notwithstanding four of those still have a significant interest in the club.
'We are surprised and extremely disappointed to have received notification from the Swansea Supporters Trust's lawyers today that neither they nor the Trust wish to attend the mediation which had previously been proposed to take place later this month.
'Dates for the mediation had been agreed with the Trust and we had full authority from all of our clients to attend the mediation and resolve the dispute that exists between the parties.

This may have significant costs consequences for the Trust in any future litigation especially as the Trust has previously failed to mediate in December 2018.
'The selling shareholders are strong in their belief that they are in no way liable to the Trust for the circumstances surrounding the sale of their shares but continue to be saddened that the issues between them and the Trust remain unresolved and the club tragically continues to be damaged in the process.'

Agreed but the leadership needs to come from the leaders not from the fans. The only people that have any authority here are the owners and the Trust board and both parties need to front up and lead

Darran said before the Millwall game that the Americans sent over two guys from DC United to speak to the press before and after the game. Was there any truth in that?
Would make sense with all these random stories coming out.

" 'We act on behalf of the Swansea City shareholders who sold the majority of their shares in the Club in 2016; notwithstanding four of those still have a significant interest in the club."
So it's not a statement by the new owners?
Wasn't the mediation meeting set up for the end of the month but no reply had been received from the sellers?
Was the meeting going ahead if all parties were represented?

There is a very dangerous propaganda game being played by the ex shareholders which for me is showing that they have no interest in the clubs future at all.

The trust were the ones who have been waiting for responses for mediation and have said numerous times that it is an essential part of the process of litigation. The trust must do everything in it's power to stick to the legal requirements of the case in order to have the best chance of winning in court.
I'm new to all this, but have listened intently at the AGM and previous meeting, and can clearly see that this is not what was planned, so something has clearly gone wrong. From what I can see, either...
a) This story is barefaced lies by the sellouts. b) The Trust have pulled out due to some underhandedness which they did not expect from the sellouts. c) The trust have pulled out due to assurances from the Yanks since HJ has gone.
However, I'm wondering... If the trust were to pull out of mediation, don't they need to hold an EGM or something first and vote on such things?
