AsI understand it if Swansea Cardiff or Wrexham c get into the latter stages and get big money then LoW are guaranteed a significant cut.
They have been bought up. Haverfordwest find it hard to find any profits for a trip to Dinamo Tblisi.
The issue was never agreement with LoW clubs or the EFL or EPL.Ths road block will be Eufa in Switzerland. If Money is any good he will have walked the corridors of power and got a wink or a thumbs up and a promise for Ryan Reynold to pour love into the Cantons if the Alps
They are all very inexperienced and young. Oldest being 19.
Richard Faayke is the oldest. He is big and powerful and in the Kevin Austin mould. Reasonable quick but beef rather than skill. Ash Williams did OK.
Jack Fanning and Brogan Popham are up from the U18. I have not seen them but both ars big lads 6 ft 2in + but only 17 and 18. Popham was linked to Premier league clubs a few months back.
Swansea moved on Brandon Cooper who Martin used on occasions. He signed for Leyton Orient. He was 20-21 and a bit more developed.
It is unfathomable why Williams did not start Abdullai and show some faith in the academy players.
Swansea make the same mistake every year of getting teenage centre backs who are not trusted. Rhys Williams 18. the Man city guy Burns 17 and now Abbey. What is the point?
Mr Williams has messed up. I was always dubious why Williams has never given his back up players a kick. Abbey had a difficult debut but has a decent CV and experience and simply needed game time. Guehi was awful when he arrived. I may as well be Ntoe an On.
They get Cristie on loan instead of a CB. The club is a contingency free zone.
Williams resents any claim they did not take the FA cup seriously. Who cares. The WBA s dalliance means Williams gets cut no slack. The Duff side brushed aside at CCS last season was the most boring side of have seen since Kenny Jackett played six centre backs in one game circa 2006.
Williams g has not developed back up in the long term absence of Lissah and Pederson. Chicken have come home to roost at the worst possible time.
The voice of the Trust would be respected if the person was respected.Levien made the issue of the Trust a major factor in their decision to sell up. Influence comes from respect not share holding.
The Trust could not force anything. They tried to force the US people to buy their shares despite being opposed to selling we hen they arrived.
I am glad you s now seem to agree with me that Cooper messed up Gyorkeres like Martin messed up Whittaker. Swansea incredibility seem to think Bianchini is better than Whittaker. These decisions were bad decisions by Cooper and Martin which the Levien group had to pay for. Made in Wales in one case.
The club is now on a game plan where it ripps up teams with short fast crisp passing except the players cannot pass under pressure.
K&L were never welcome at Swansea after the bad feeling created by issues related to the fans ownership group.
Coleman was in charge if he was not then he was lying i the fans forum and should resign. He did have budgetary restrictions,
I have shares and I can vote. If I was on the board would make my feeling felt. If the Trust had no influence that is their fault. They had a bigger ownership than say Silverstein.
I f do not have f proof the Vik Gyorkeres was up for sale other than press reports at the time and the fact that Coventry gave him a trial and made on offer which got accepted for the same fee reported on in the press. A coincidence perhaps? He was just what the club needed and cheap very cheap. Cooper preferred Lowe and never tested Gyorkeres. Another passing through manager.
Coleman is in charge and not much evidence of improvement v based on this afternoons surrender, Huw Jenkins chased out buy the useless Trust would not accept performances like this.
It does not make sense to play out of contract veterans in favour of up and coming prospects . This is not what it says on the tin. " The academy is wonderful but I am picking out iof contract vets instead".
21% ownership meant a man on the board with knowledge of Swansea and hopefully football.
His contribution to decisions and matters of club management depends on whether the trust man had any gravitas and whether his opinion was respected.
If he or she had nothing to offer he /she will have been ignored. The club has always stated they gave importance to the relationship with the views of the Trust. (this may have been genuine of good PR.I have no idea which)
Gyorkeres was available for transfer for Swansea. They had 2-3 months after Covid to look at him and he scored a crisp header v Stevenage in the FA cup. It was a major blunder by Cooper.
Strong 6 ft + centre forwards who can head the ball hold it up and are powerful runners do not exist in Wales. Swansea went to Slovenia and Ukraine to get one.
As predicted Wilson signs new deal to 2027. He is a class players and if down to 6 months something had to be done and was.
I have no inside track as I live in a shed above Resolven. Bloody cold up there to be honest . Ticket in the bag for the derby match. Resolven forest gives me solitude to do some solid thinking. (POTY 2023)
Levien thought they were important as they are fans ( customers)!.
They legal plans were bonkers and the new board thought so as well. It involved giving £11m of the US investors money to English ambulance chasers. In the end that £11m went into the club not English pockets.
Mad max is upset they did not go ahead. An apology is long overdue but will never come. They will never see a penney of mine mine.
I only raise the Trust when people slag off the owners. The fans are owners of this football club so cannot hide. They had 21% and a man in the boardroom.
I like to remind fans of this fact. Goykeres was ths biggest transfer blunder in 30 years since Dean Saunders. No one blames Cooper. He is not American.
You mentality is completely wrong. They are not school children that needs care and attention but well educated adults with an understanding of finance. You want to treat them like the women institute.
They have taken £ 1.2m from the club and other owners and spent6 year threatening legal action.
I take them seriously and while they are in the dog house the old men money hoarders need to show they are a force for good
It would be very good for the books of the like of Lissah Wilson Parker and Govea can be permanent fixtures Abdullahi should f be a first teamer by now and Fulton gone. Cotterill is just as good.
Verterans have to be standouts not ordinary Joe's. A guy that came of the bench and put away a free kick.
This season must be taking medicine due to that horrible 17m loss. It will be a problem for two economic annual accounts.

What has " it's not Darlings'" fault got to do with anything? The club can only do good business be coaxing him to go. Telling him he will not play against fir two years will do the triick. Telling he will not play for 6 months gives him the option to sit tight and waste less of his shot career.
The final transfer fee will be less but apart from that there is no difference in forcing him out two years ago. Additionally he is a much better play now than two years ago
Low is in the exact same position. Swansea s moby for Dad arling a should be more than Wycombe s fee for Low. Both want to sell this Is January.
Forum poster seen to support players and managers over the well being of the club. Swansea are heading FFP rules if they do not get money in.
As an experienced journalist what is happened to Broome ? was it just a and mistake and he should never have been signed. At least Pedersen played a bit and Ntoe an On is on the bench with no prospect of coming on.
