Ask the Trust to sponsor the Women's team's shirts.
Use the Welsh name for the Women's team Dinas Abertawe.
The shirts sponsors name of the shirts at Derby were illegible.
Check that the all-surface facilities agreed under the stadium deal have actually been built and advertise this good work. I do not know if this has been done or not.
Make close relations with US teams and send players injured but Now recovered to get game r time over there. This summer Ginnell, Njoe an On, Parker. Also Abdullai who is not getting game time.
Get answers from the academy why they have not produced goalkeeper or centre forwards of quality.
Sack Anthony O,'Connell and Wyndam.
Inform the fans that some of their chanting are ethnic slurs and as such illegal. Bring back zero tolerance.
Allow fans to buy shares in the club to fund the academy. Norwich did this a few years back.
"Impossible" is a relative word. It sounds as if his wages according to your reports that his salary was low by championship standards.
However it was a contract that he signed and the Swansea job set him on his way to several millions he can put in his back pocket. He is now the richest man in the Rhondda.
Another that should send a little thank you note to Levien for rubber stamping his appointment in his first managerial job.
His loans were the who s who of top Euro talent. Gibbs White on loan did not come cheap. Levien had not budget left and drummed up two full US internationals.
Cooper was not impressed but then again arranged a taxi for Gyorkeres back to Brighton. It worked out at £400,000 a mile over the last 4 years.
Arriola and Morris were decent. Probably at the level of Welsh players. Wes Burns who went to the Premier league with Ipswich.
Posters are right to point out it was a decade ago and it is time to move on. In the 23 years of the Trust 2015-2016 were the most important. At that time they needed to act. They wanted to carry on as before but that was not an option.
The fall of the Trust from being respected to today's of being less relevant are defined by this two year period. They won the pools but did not submit their ticket.
The Trust board member emphatically stated their position.
Their share were not up for sale adding for the record " they never would be" . No one in the Trust contradicted this in February 2015. Levien and co were in Swansea a few months later looking at the club and no doubt were made aware of this.
As I understand it they needed a mandate from the members to sell and had made no moves to get this mandate.
My perception is far closer to the truth than yours. I called their strategy poor 8 years ago and have been proven correct.
Hard cash give them clout and when buyers were circling in 20115 they decided they did not want the money on offer and did not ask the member their view. The members did not demand a vote. Truth be told they probably never given it a thought.
They wanted "protection" at a level of 25% with the influence the 25% gave them. They have settled for 5% and a place on the board.
The previous board presented them with a strategy that would have destroyed Swansea city You favour legal action and a best case of giving huge money from the convertible loan note to faceless people in South East England with no interest in football.
Many members think like you and that is why they are not to be trusted with power.
Abdullai is a great player used out of position. His excuse is he needs 90 min every week to improve I his confidence, reduce nerves and improve his touch. He runs and gives and collects the ball on the move.
What is bound to happen if that drones will be seen around training grounds checking out short corner kick routine training. The days of a suspicious looking bloke in a rain mack and flat cap next to a hedge have long gone.
This is a Trust thread. Levien highlighted the friction caused by them as a major reason for their lack of engagement with fans and by implication them k leaving a whopping £69m behind.
Less quality people would have said to hell with them and sold all the players and thrown the club into administration.
One poster compared them with Petty.
Kaplan has a good reputation. The Trust are a laughing stock even with their own fans these days but typically for the wrong reasons.
I make a judgement on what I see and read. Martin put the fans against the owners and possibly the players as well. He has already taken Wood at a discount. No wonder people think Cabango and Darling would not sign extensions until they left.
I would want to know if I was Coleman who actually went to Wembley.
Swans fans need to love th club not individuals. Martin was unprofessional after the window and it seemingly necessitate the top man flying out to see him.
We have all had our collar felt. People with egos do not like it.
Let's hope he gets sacked before the end of the season.
You are careless sometimes . There is no "British Lions". It is a fake comparison. It is the British and IRISH Lions. Some of the touring players are from the European Union. Ireland is a independent state.
I have raised the concept of "British exceptionalism". We want special rules for ourselves and this will be resented. No other footballers anywhere in the world can represent two flags simultaneously.
