The prices reflect the players circumstances and the current market which is low after the pandemic.
Thsi Huw Jenkins stuff, how much did he cost us on Bony and Clucas? Are people going revisionist here? What about Ayews fee and wages? At least Ayew paid some back.
Lowe got 14 goals last season, can anyone guarantee he'd score as many this season? Lowe or Demarai Gray? Both the same price but I know which one I'd choose.
Take Huw Jenkins back, that made me giggle aye. If these owners are so bad just remember who sold us to them! |
Exactly.
Demarai Gray the same fee as Lowe.
If you compare it that way, we got a good price. |  |

Swansea owners are operating at the same level of the previous owners but with a greater financial commitment (next level). The previous owners were mostly local but included a Dutchman south African and Frenchman. The latter two were "Venture Capitalists" and had little interest in football as I understand it. They all sold making a very tidy profit.
The US people want to run Swansea in a sustainable way and have helped the club through Covid with a convertible loan note. They are sitting on a substantial investment loss but seem relaxed about it. There will be big profits for them if the club return to the Premier league. Inflation of Championship club valuations over time might allow them to get out limiting their losses. Their DC United holding is heavily in credit should they sell up. It costs $200m or so simply to join the US league.
Kaplan in particular is an investment professional and has a contact book of billionaires. He and his associates control huge sums of money in the business he part owns. I believe they follow Swansea quite closely. The club now has respected director of football a recruitment team and a manager all on the same hymn sheet. They have taken a calculated risk with Russel Martin.
Kaplan and co are the best people to find a rich buyer for the cub. Buying, building and developing business is/ was their day job. |
They have made massive amounts on transfer fees since being here ,balance the books up and it's a massive return for them.christ take lorente for one they made a fortune on him never mind the others |  | | |

I've heard it 4m for connor. |
That's still low even with him out injured.
No clue if our owners sell for that. |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

Huw Jenkins has to be view holistically for a reasonable historical assessment. 15 years 3 promotions, one cup, 7 season in the Premier league, massively developed infrastructure new stadium, upto 400 jobs at peak in a so called 'depressed area'. One bad season.
True some bad signing which cost the club. On paper Sanches, Jordan, Ayew, Andre Ayew, Bony and Abraham was a very potent and mobile front line (Not Bony). Backed up by Fer Clucas. It should have been enough. The club lost its focus under Clement.
You should b not just talk of Bony Borja and Clucas. Also discuss Sigurdson, Llorente, James, McBurnie. £92m incoming on HJ s watch.
The Premier league was an exception not the rule. It seems to me the club is as professional run today as it has ever been. I trust them to do right by the club. It would be a disaster for Swansea if Grimes and Roberts were not sold. |  |

How did Jenkins contribute to the move to the stadium?
On a broader note what permanent benefits have there been from the 7 seasons in the premier league? I mean to the club rather than to the bank balances of some individuals? |  | | |

If I was Dyche I’d be well pleased with that bit of business. Roberts is a solid 100% player who I believe will do well in a PL team playing to his strengths. Good luck to the boy, hope he makes some decent wedge, it’s not as though he’s going to get a chance to earn that money down here !
From a Swans perspective it’s a bitter blow as he’s a good pro, but he’s in the last year of his contract and can walk next summer so £2.65m or whatever is better than losing him for nothing in 10 months. | | | |

Landore maybe , but the land not the complex and we know some made money out of that
little enterprise. | |

Not just a good pro, his goal/assist contributions as a wing back we’re getting better over the last two seasons. Something we need at the moment. | | | |

Don't mention asset stripping
or buildings that need a second floor just after the roof has been put on  | |

The signs of any good leader , manager,CEO are how they react and "manage" when things go wrong.
Jenkins started from a low base and like the club was swept along the problem was he couldnt see how to manage things when the tide turned....its so easy to to be seen to be getting things "right" when things go well its not so easy when things go belly up
As has been said JEnkins had no input into the stadium move that was already underway long before HJ took up the role....I question that the club was professionally run under the previous regime there are lots of naive errors....AM i thankful for those glory years? yes, thankful for those that played thier part in saving our club some of whoom were key yet remained in the background but never received the riches those who sold out did but without them the sell outs would not have got their opportunity.
YOur putting og HJon a pedestal is unwarranted.... | |

Made massive amounts? Did we not spend any of that transfer income on Bony, Clucas, Ayew and on their huge wages? That'd be after we paid tax on the profits too. Didn't we make a loss on Narsingh?
The way people go on you'd think we had 100 million sitting in the bank that the owners were walking off with.
People have seen the accounts and they say we haven't been assett stripped and the owners haven't been taking a massive wedge out of our club.
Why do so many people seem to think we don't have running costs and any transfer fees that come in can all be spent. I'm sure some of them must have heard of tax, insurance, water, electricity, gas and wages? | |
