Remember the 'life of Brian' some of you ungratefull arseholes sound like that group.
Â
1. The directors/shareholders saved the club from Bankruptcy and from oblivion from the football league (i.e Newport)!
Â
2. During those struggles not only did they give of their time freely they also invested a significant sum of money to ensure it's continued survival!
Â
3. HJ and the board then guided us through the divisions and up to the Premier league.
Â
4. The board not only did that but also through wise investments on the field they were able to not only keep us in the Premier League but also to win a major Cup,the 1st in the clubs history!
Â
5. As if that wasn't enough we were also able to sample the delights of a European campaign!
Â
And before anyone asks I am not a shareholder/son/ or relative of any of the board but an appreciative supporter of our football club and conversely to the board for the journey they took us on.
Â
Cheers guys and good luck for the future!

Everything the OP says is true.
What he fails to say is that the legacy of all those achievements was wiped out, TOTALLY wiped out, by one act of low, calculated greed. |
Spot on Shadwell.
OP - say "hi" to Millie. |  | | |

Yes he//he is spot on. And after making millions Jenkins kept shares and a very well paid position (over £500, 000 a year) at the club. A position he has royally f@cked up.
I'm not blaming the Americans for everything, their big mistake was leaving Jenkins in charge of transfers as he has systematically downgraded the squad and this season selling a real goal threat and not replaced him, also selling our captain, leader and best defender and not not adequately replacing him either.
Without the first mistake the rest of it may not have happened.
What have the Romans done for us, they gave us many great things but while they were doing that there was carnage and mass slaughter.
What have the board done for us, they gave us Premier league football and then, through ego, stupidity or negligence they took it away again. I say that in the expectation that we are going down.
If we should stay up it'll be miraculous. | |

And, after all that you just threw the club's survival to chance with new owners with no connections with the area, f*cked the trust over and these past few transfer windows have ruined the playing staff, possibly enough to send us on our way back down the leagues. All to make yourselves millionaires.
You could have made yourselves slightly less wealthy and looked after the club's future but chose not to.
I have nothing but the deepest contempt for all of you. Just vanish, you're not welcome around here anymore. Just like Petty. |  |

You were the supporter director for the Trust. Then you put money into the club AFTER it was needed.
You've treated the Trust with contempt ever since you fackin beaut.
This self denial you're suffering from... it won't last. You'll be constantly reminded of your betrayal the lower the club sinks.
This once great club will never sink as low as you and the rest of the board have. [Post edited 9 Nov 2016 3:28]

1. The directors/shareholders saved the club from Bankruptcy and from oblivion from the football league (i.e Newport)!
Without the fanbase, theer would be nothing for them to put a bit of cash in to, well those except Dineen who is a smarmy fly around shite. The whole point here is that those/you cnts seem to think you did it by yourselves, you didnt.
2. During those struggles not only did they give of their time freely they also invested a significant sum of money to ensure it's continued survival!
Nobody forced them, and some of them did a pretty crappy job too. The commercial side for instance is pretty tinpot. Now the playing staff is pisspoor too, as well as the recent appointments. Luck runs out eventually
3. HJ and the board then guided us through the divisions and up to the Premier league.
Yeh, think Martinez and a few of the other managers and players did most of the work tbh
4. The board not only did that but also through wise investments on the field they were able to not only keep us in the Premier League but also to win a major Cup,the 1st in the clubs history!
See point 3. Vending machines and flashing lights on advertising hoardings dont really add a great deal
5. As if that wasn't enough we were also able to sample the delights of a European campaign! I thought you may have been Dineen. But i doubt even that dullard is thick enough to forget our previous European expeditions

That's very mature Warwick! Armchair supporters are the lifeblood of our club. |
What part about "everyone was grateful for what you did, but the sly way in which you sold out ruins your legacy" don't you understand?
Tell me then c*nt, why didn't you speak to the Chinese?
Is it also true that you were looking to sell your shares as soon as possible after promotion?
Also, where's your cocksucking mate/brother Dougie? |  |

re 1. Some people debate whether it was Dineen's family money that provided any financing? Rather than Dineen being a self made man and providing the finance himself.
Only his family will know and now have to live with the consequences with regards to their family name in Swansea and Wales and Jacks around the world.
There goes a Dineen in Swansea and what will people be thinking about them - now, next year, the year after, year after that,..... think about Petty's name still today.
All for few $$$s more. | | | |

FYI and following my initial post I will tell you a little about me. A Morriston boy for the first 26 years. And a club supporter for over 40 years. I have supported the club through thick and thin. Il I have a season ticket which has been continuous and paid for by me!! I don't have the wealth of MM but heyho good luck to him.
The whole reasoning behind my initial post which it seems has been taken totally out of context is that the journey we've had over their stewardship of the club has been historic and great fun.
I along with several other relatively wealthy individuals I know we're offered a shareholding in the club but declined preferring instead to donate to SCST and indeed before that to 'the executive fund raising' organised by Don keefe/gwilym Joseph and a few others.
I think what you guys fail to understand is that to run a successful club in the PL costs millions (ask sir Alan or Simon Jordan! ) and we don't have those benefactors.
IMHO the directors had gone as far as they could with the finances that were available to them and maybe had a reality check in January when we were looking shakey? So in essence they were damned no matter what! Option 1 of not selling and you've got an element of fans screaming for hj to spend (money that he or the club don't have) and possibly send us into bankruptcy and then even further down the divisions. Option 2 sell and hope that the new owners will invest. It's a no brainer. Really!!
For those shouting 'we want our club back' it's never gone!! It is exactly the same club, struggling in exactly the same way as last season.Maybe you've bought a season ticket and shirt but that in no way confers ownership in the club (same way as you buy a season ticket for regular bus journeys (It doesn't give you ownership of South Wales transport).
So moving on I will be renewing my season ticket for next year and after and supporting my local football team(providing all my needles haven't fallen off!)
P.s should the Americans fail and ride off into the sunset what sane local millionaire would invest in our club knowing that there are an element of supporters that still think there's a money tree at the bottom of his garden and he should use it all with total disregard for his family and other employees. Wake up and get in the real world. X X

Okay. I can appreciate some of that and fairplay to you for having the balls to come on here to give us the other side of the story. Hopefully the dialogue can continue?
Do me a favour, though - enough of the patronising tone, eh!

Sorry if it sounded patronising that wasn't my intention but I cannot understand the mentality of some of the people on here. Who just seem to want to create as much bad feeling and animosity as possible. I don't know blues supporters maybe? | | | |

I haven't sold out and I do speak with the Chinese. In fact I have some very good suppliers there although I would advise anyone dealing with them to check them out thoroughly which unfortunately I didn't on one occasion and it cost!
As I've already said at the start never had shares in the club but put a 3 figure sum into the trust at the start.

Fair play I did just have a chuckle at that.
You've got some metaphorical balls though, which deserves credit. | |

IMO as I've already said the board were buggered whatever they did. Stay independent and face the wrath of fans because hj et Al didn't spend, spend,spend money he or the club don't have and end up sinking lower down the leagues or try to find someone with deeper pockets who can keep us in the PL.
We've yet to see if the decision was the right one and as much as I've enjoyed the PL if we're in the championship next season so be it I'll still renew and support.
With regards the way they acted i dont think they did themselves any favours there but didn't the trust put a kyber on the last lot of Americans? Maybe they were worried about a repeat of that? I really don't know. | | | |

The trust put the Khyber?
Maybe something about ensuring sustainability of the club? Just a thought... [Post edited 9 Nov 2016 13:28]

I honestly don't know why you are bothering Wayne. Selling out to anybody that would pony up the cash (they still don't know who the backers are - or care) and to behave like pigs at a trough whilst ignoring the needs of the club throughout the summer, and then continuing to behave like c*nts and expect to be excused afterwards doesn't seem to matter to some.
In the words of the East Stand "you greedy bastards, get out of our club". Cue applause all round the ground.
Just. F*ck. Off. | |
