USA legend Landon Donovan joins Swans ownership group 23:50 - Jun 9 with 9936 viewsTummer_from_Texas

This is kind of out of nowhere, but interesting nonetheless.

Landon is the all time leader in scoring for the national team with 57 goals (although Texan Clint Dempsey with 50 will probably catch him).

Doesn't say or even hint that at all. This is a little nice publicity for the brand over here though.

This article inplies that he may be a minor shareholder, which is a load of bollocks

Sorry, worded slightly differently in this piece.

"Sources say Donovan will become an adviser to Kaplan and Levien on soccer decision-making as well as the club's commercial matters as part of the arrangement, which represents his first post-playing foray into management."

Slight change of subject....

Where would you say is the best place in NY to watch the Wales - England game?

First time in America and I could do with all the best advice possible.

Thanks.

Times Square, 8th Avenue. Sounds like Football Factory is a winning idea.

Although my fellow Jack friend, who I'm meeting out there, wants to go to a bar called Legends.

Any bar that I can be as loud and drunk as possible is good with me!

Although I'm 41 so I'm not that bad really! :)

This only gets worse.

Donovan was a very talented American player. But, he's a self-centered egotistical, whiny little bitch. What makes him qualified to advise on any soccer discussion regarding the premier league. Sure, he played internationally and in the Premier League (on loan to Everton) and German league (BL). But, he didn't fight for his position - instead returning to the US. He prefers to be a big fish in a small pond. I question his "determination" and his .

Does Huw really need "help"? Great, more people putting input for decisions.

If true this could create a problem if he is parachuted into a role between Jenkins and guidolin such as director of football.

Was always going to be an issue, the egos of many clashing in a detrimental way affecting the club.

Seems the new owners are instigating the removal of the local folk already.

Someone who knows the difference between a good player and Marvin Emnes might come in handy for Huw.

Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back.

Interesting that Sports Illustrated are reporting that the Trust is going to retain its shares.

'Levein and Kaplan are leading an investment group that now controls a 60% stake of the club, which is currently valued at around $145 million. The rest of the shares will be retain by the Swansea City Supporters’ Trust and a number of part owners, likely where Donovan fits into the puzzle.'

Just seems that Trust has already made the decision then?

Depends what his real role is going to be, if he's going to be telling Huw what to do on behalf of the new owners, it will end in tears.

When has it been suggested that the trust wouldn't be retaining their shares? No one has approached them to buy afaik.
