Profit is a dirty word where most people work for the Government. Government lives of taxes that feed of profits either by companies or individuals.
The sellouts built a infrastructure off club "profits" and cashed in selling that infrastructure and PL status. The club invested profits to avoid paying excessive tax .
The only way to cash on was to sell shares. The fans group preferred to go to court rather than sell a share.
I do not hide. Kaplan and Levien leave with my best wishes. The club is not left in a " mess*.
They could not guarantee success. Fans feel let down because other teams completed better Stoke who put bid Swansea for several players are £200m out of pocket.
I am a supporter but not an ordinary supporter. The fans body s biggest investment is English legal firms. They have taken £1.3 m from the club and only invested £200,000. Poor. The average fans does not care.
They gave handed over the club to ex colleagues at a knock down prices with debts cleared by them. The club now has a good plan. The so called "sell outs" sold what they built from scratch. Starting with a mess at the bottom of league two and leaving with a team in the PL. It was not luck. The only owner not to cash in from Jenkins and Morgan's work we're the Trust who contributed little to the rise in reality. They must have been asleep.
I have empathy with the people who have owned the club and kept it ship shape. I cannot understand the mentality of fans like yourself who cannot give a good word about anyone except the fans.
Ginnelly is back in the grass and is an exciting footballer with goals in his locker.vHe makes things happen if fully fit. I am not sure the Summer recruitment was a disaster. Williams appears to rate Vipotnik and Bianchini who are improving. They deserve the live that Cullen has had. He his three years older than them and still trying to prove himself.
If they come good and improve as expected the club with Ginnelly and Eom returning the have some fire power.
The club would be wise to use some of the reported £20m for Cabango and Darling who would be saleable assets in future years.
When Swansea got relegated in the early 1980s there was no US safety belt to cushion the fall.
No convertible loan note or other investments up to £23m to help the club through and pay the local creditors. Remember the convertible loan note was needed because of the useless legal case by the fans group.
Decent people in my view Silverstein sorted out right royal Welsh mess. Kaplan and Levien failed but had good intentions . They are getting lectured but sit on a massive $800m asset in DC United. Only up $600m after the Swansea hiccup.
Much bigger disaster litter the EPL and EFL. Everton Derby Bolton Stoke even Cardiff.
I accept the criticisms and do not bleat. I alone stand y up against porno filth ethnic slurs sang by Swansea fans because I do not see myself as a coward.
The club claimed " zero tolerance " but is strangely silent on these chants.
The Senedd is the culmination of 600 years of history and a wish for self determination. Welsh people can rid themselves of low life like Getting and the Labour party in the next election. Your problem is not with the Senedd but the MS s the Welsh people put in there .
Welsh language is optional and always has been. I call Welsh people dim when they behave stupidly like the Trust legal case which wanted £400k and six years of bad feeling. No one gets a free pass democratic or not. Not one member has come on here and accepted they made a bad job of it.
Almost as dull as the fans group. £21m to not much on the same valuation. The Teflon boys who are given a free pass. They did not sell a share sitting on a 10,000% mark up.
Hey ho they only invested pennies. 1000 members and the only voices raised were not to sell. Incredible.
The Yankees are a free hit. Having a go at your own gets your sanity questioned.
You do not understand how it can work well. Brendan got to know Jenkins and was strong on what he wanted and did not want. Kuqi and Beattie wets dispatched replaced byy,Brendan s picks Sinclair and Borini..
He was a strong manager that knew how to work the chairman. It worked well. Laudrup got most of what he wanted but had no say in Bony apparently. That relationship went toxic.
Monk and Clement accepted what they were given. Giudoloin another experienced man was given some players but also picked Llorente and an Italian forward for half a season .
Not "drivel" at all. Try not to be influenced by the forum sages.
I always remember him elbowing De Guzman from behind as he tracked back. A sort of sharp clip around the ears. De Guzman was thinking. " What did he do that for" and did not dive to the ground.
It is being dealt with. The people living on the street are provided with cheap basic facilities in confined controlled areas. It is a carrot and stick approach.
Police notices allowing arrest in commercial areas and provision provided in our odf sight areas with toilets etc.
One problem of homeless is a people entering cafes to use the toilets if you are lucky..
The country has gone soft in the head..People with no self discipline do not need a two bedroom flat to turn into a slum which is bad news for the neighbours .
I bought British gas shares of the State when Mr Thatcher sold them cheaply.
It was split into BG and Centrica.BG was the exploration arm which did really well and was bought by Shell. I still hold Centrica shares. They go up and down like a yo yo and are low arm . They give me £250 a year on dividends. Millions of people bought them. back in the 1980s but most sold up for a quick profit after 3 years.
I agree. These struggling people need to be given cheap basic provisions in secure areas such as food warmth and medical provisions preferably out of the way of general citizens going about their work. This is happening in Cardiff where collections of the displaced have been causing trouble.
The police have issued some sort of notice on certain areas and "soup kitchen" provisions nearby our of sight. Local shops and a cafes are much happier..
I made the statement that BBC Wales started called the area " " West Wales" during the period Dyfed existed. It was some time back and based on my anecdotal recollections.
They still refer to West Wales meaning South West Wales today because they are sloppy. They do not even follow their own guidelines.
Akun the owner of Hull has a tV channel. Betting is strictly controlled in TC. He is being investigated for billboards advertising betting firms at football games abroad..
This type of thinking is what I have been highlighting and it is toxic and not good for the club. Football is for deep pockets and risk taking. I admire Levien and Kaplan they put their money on the table.
There are very few Welsh people like this due to our heritage of being employees not employers.
Back Coleman before you sign off. He is upfront confident and up for the scrap. The fans owners can bring their knitting to games.
That is a new one fair play. Cullen is 5 or 6 /10 every single game for Swansea according to respected journalists. If he is that good Swansea do not need a striker in January.
I hope this will give him a boost to kick on and get the 12-15 goals the club needs from him. The "True jack" tag buys him kudos Yates Kukharevych and Whittaker did not get
An Icelandic man I met on holiday today blamed the sub Þórhallsson who has only 6 caps in 24 and plays for Orlando. Cullen scored 4 in an u21 game v Everton v a 17 year old current hot prospect Jarod Branthwaite.
