Somehing has changed. The fact they have opted not to be transparent about what that is and won't be commenting further is very curious.
Have previous tensions between Kelly and Altman/Marcelli flared again? Is there a level of scrutiny from the EFL that they don't want to undergo? Or has a last minute change of heart come for another reason? With a lot of tension between fans/the manager/CEO, they may have decided that now is not the time to be even more publicly associated with the club.
None of that would explain the last minute nature of their decision though.
Very bloody curious. |
They have said that they are awaiting the outcome of the EFL fit and proper person test.
If there was anything 'dodgy' about them, they would (a) withdraw their applications to be approved and (b) have no interest/intention of joining the Board 'in the future'.
Something at the club has prevented them from going ahead. Something has changed. In the last few days. [Post edited 28 Feb 2021 21:06]

Oh it makes me laugh!
George D'Elves' intro to the club included (and i paraphrase): i'll be joining a stable and well-run club
So George, would you also like to amend your recent communication?
Stable we are not. Well run we are not (or at least, haven't been)
I've posted on different threads, and in different contexts, about Altman/Marcelli taking a "cold, hard look" at various things both on and off the pitch
Strikes me that's exactly what they've done, and in their calculating way (data analytical, businesslike way) decided to hang fire
I don't blame them. Now, there may be a perfectly innocent explanation for all this, but i doubt it |
They have already made the investment, becoming a Director is small beer compared to putting cold cash into buying shares. Maybe we are just becoming overly sensitive to the smallest nuance? |  | | |

They have already made their investment, becoming a director is pretty small beer compared to buying shares with cold hard cash. I guess they still want to buy the club , maybe the former chairman wants to sell to them? [Post edited 28 Feb 2021 20:55]

They haven't invested in the club as far as I can see. |  |

If he did he’d have seen some really good debate and a lot of really good posts. Whatever is going on, this forum has been a positive place these last couple of days despite things being less than positive. |  |

But their statement does imply that they intend to join the Board in the future.
So what needs to change for that to happen? |
We need to win one,just one Home Game! | | | |

Specifically one person, the wife of the person he was (within reason) criticising. It’d be a shame if Chris let the opinion of that one person put him off his good work so far. I think he’s a big enough man not to let one person’s opinion bother him. [Post edited 28 Feb 2021 21:30]

I'm sure he is, but there were also a number of likes and retweets of said tweet. | |

We're all speculating and don't really know what is behind this volte face. My suspicions are the situation regarding the "hugely talented" one may have more influence on this than some think. Perhaps DA and EM feel that getting more closely involved in a club in a shitstorm isn't wise right now?
All speculation of course, just like everyone else, for now. |  | | |

But seemingly not now or never... |
What is needed is a little less conversation, a little more action please. |  |

Oh dear,I really hope it wasn`t because of "xenophobic comments" by certain people. | | | |

Sounds like a game of cat and mouse. Who knows what's going on but it playing out in public like this is a little embarrassing I think.
The paranoid side of me thinks they didn't want the EFL sniffing around them too much at the moment. | |

Granted, Altman was never a director at Swansea but I'm sure he was thoroughly vetted there and nothing in Marcelli's past (so far as I can glean, having searched) suggests or even hints at malpractice.
I'd err towards the thought that they're hedging their bets for some reason; maybe waiting for a permanent chair to be announced? | | | |
