Companies House are recording his appointment as a Director.
So, a week or so after the Trust approach the club regarding former Directors still hanging around the club (my words, not theirs) , the club go and re-appoint one of them as a Director.
It feels to me like the Yanks are taking the p*ss
I wonder if the Trust were aware of this move ? |  |

The Trust announced the answer they got
"The Supporters Trust was yesterday surprised to note that, according to Companies House records, Leigh Dineen had been reappointed as a Director of the football club.
However, after discussions overnight between the Supporters Trust and the new majority owners, it was identified that the appointment was made without approval and has now been removed. It has been agreed that the issue of Leigh Dineen’s position at the club would be discussed at next month’s board meeting, which our Supporters Director will be attending."
Now is that an admin error - maybe yes as someone jumped the gun.
A total mistake - no as it seems as if there is some talk in the background |
Well I understand the Americans knew nothing about it.
Either way it was totally stupid |  |

Totally stupid is believable

Being totally dumb, could this have been done as a tax avoidance dodge? [Post edited 23 Nov 2016 7:45]

Never say never, but I'm sure Mr Taxman would come crawling all over it. [Post edited 23 Nov 2016 7:47]

This is the line that's got me:
"It has been agreed that the issue of Leigh Dineen’s position at the club would be discussed at next month’s board meeting, which our Supporters Director will be attending."
So it seems that the Americans DID add LD as a new Director but removed him after discussions with the Trust, who made it clear their/our position on this.
It's not an admin error or a simple "slip-up", they actually want LD to return to being a Director. They will now have to put this to a vote in the next Board meeting and, of course, they have nearly all of the votes!!!
Another thing, would it change what he's doing within the club anyway, as he's still the Commercial Director and Vice-Chairman? Why the sudden change?
I just don't get the reasoning behind (a) the lies and (b) the need to add him as a Director. | |

If he is still the commercial director and vice chairman, surely he should be on the Board anyway.
Also he still owns one per cent of the issued share capital which is worth (or so he probably hopes) another million pounds for him.
The fact that there are so many people left with small percentages of original holdings shows how reluctant the new investors were to put more money into the club at the time of buying it.
All these former shareholders, Dineen,Morgan,Jenkins etc who still own percentages have agreed through the new shareholders agreement that they can only be sold to the new investors, so that none of those shares can be gifted to the Trust. They have not retained those shares for the love of Swansea City but for the necessity of ensuring the deal went through.
The new investors are playing a cagey game. If things pick up they may look at it from a different viewpoint.If it doesn't we may not even see a net spend in January. | |

I would suggest it was part of the deal that they kept their director privalages and remained on the board. Albeit with very little clout
Seems to me the Yanks have been screwed as much as the trust. Not only are the share sales in doubt legally but they are forced to make decisions that are very unpopular with the fans.
I am convinced they want the Trust to go legal so they can get out
There maybe some mileage in the Trust joining forces with them. The sentiments may be vastly different but the objectives the same. |  |

Or they've been very clever as whilst they're there they will be taking most of the flak from the supporters... [Post edited 23 Nov 2016 9:13]

That is a very good point.
Keeps the bad press off them and makes it looks like the locals are having a go at each other. | | | |

Nope. Just a minor administrative error......
The real shambles comes in a month when the resolution to reinstate him as a director is passed by a majority on the board. Or not - because then the Trust will have 'stopped it', which is ok but uses up some of any 'influence capital' available, and Dineen will no doubt still lord it around the club and be in the box on match days, just not sitting in saying nothing of merit four times a year at the board. |  |

Does make you wonder if this is solely a tactic to divert attention from more important things happening elsewhere in the club.

You could be right, maybe they realised if it went Pete Tong the Directors Box would be the only place in the Stadium they could watch a match from without risking a lengthy period of bed and breakfast in Morriston H.
With the owners in the states most of the time it was probably no big deal for JL to allow them use of the box, he may change his mind if we end up going down and he thinks he's been sold a pup. | | | |
