- no injection of funds
- worrying appointment of BB
- poor record with DC united (bottom of conf)
- no long term plans outlined
Why oh why did we sell to these guys.

Four players signed in January Window plus another two this Summer sounds like they are buying players to me. | |

Our vastly improved cost controls, increase in Sky/commercial income and player sales should make for a bumper profit year . If we stay in PL this season, I suspect they'll exit next year for a decent return. Who'll be next will be interesting. Oligarc or Arab/Asian corporate. Hopefully our old lying Board members move on too. |  | | |

What's this injection of funds business, I don't think they ever said that, but I know a man who did.
Yes they made a mistake with Bradley, but they do seem to be learning, And surely their intended purchase of the stadium is planning ahead |  |

People need to realise that because of the previous owners and managers, we have a severely inflated wage bill and unless we sell we cannot buy... we are paying the price for living outside our means for the last few seasons. I think it is a good thing the Americans are not going out a paying crazy fees for players, IMO that means they do have a long term plan. They are not risking the finances for short term gain. | | | |

What a fuçking load of bollox.
We had to sell so we could go to the next level. They were Huw Jenkins words. He then sold to people with no money. |  |

I dont it is a load of bollox, you look at all our transfers since we have been in the prem.
We have always sold one of our top players to fund moves for others. Face the facts our club has been poorly managed prior to the Americans. you only have to look at the commercial side of the club to see that they have already made improvements. | | | |

15 players bought since they arrived for over £55M. I make at 8 of those are first team players - including 6 starters.
Don't believe the hype |  |

Commercially, we've been a Premiership club run like a league one out fit. Whilst, I carefully say our position in the PL is solidified I would say we will be pushed on commercially by the American owners |  | | |

The yanks haven't got a pot to pi$$ in. They are looking for a quick profit over a couple of years then they will be out of here.
Hope I am wrong, but doubt it. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It's only time before the Yanks shaft the club good and proper and then FO.
It makes it more bewildering why the Trust board are bending over backwards for them. |  |

I'll throw this one out there...
EPL Transfer spend under the old board:
11/12 Season: £10M
12/13 Season: £17M
13/14 Season: £21M
14/15 Season: £25M
15/16 Season: £18M
Any guess on how much spend the new owners have signed off in the 14 months they've been here?
£56 million
Going someway to fixing the mess that Monk/Hj got us into by replacing all but 4 of our starting 11.
More work to be done, but I suggest some rethink their lazy xenophobic opinions on here. [Post edited 11 Aug 2017 12:45]

Doesn't tell full story without player sales. I think we're only PL club with a net inflow from transfers since joining PL. Aside from Laudrup are we've sold our best players and replaced them with cheaper speculative options. That we've publicly stated were not investing in quality initial Siggy deal is done says more about owners lack of funds and priority on profit over squad. | | | |

I still don't understand why anyone thinks the owners were ever going to produce additional funds to buy players. This was never going to happen. |  | | |

We're net plus £5M in the same period with the new owners.
Which I'd expect - we could spend that - but I'd be worried if we consistently went negative net as we're not a club that has wealthy shareholders.
My point is, the new owners have signed off on all the spend that they could (give/take that extra £5m). If they were "filling their pockets" then that would not be happening. We'd see more of a situation like when the old board "pocketed" £12M net in 14/15. Some of which went to fund various family:friend owned vendors for a range of projects.

It's the net spend that's crucial.
I believe we have a positive net spend (in other words we've taken in more than we've spent). In a period where the TV money has grown hugely.
In a few days, that net spend surplus will be plus £50m or so.
Have a look at the bench we put out tomorrow and then tell us all how they're doing such a great job. They are nowhere near fixing the mess at the moment.
As an aside, £15m of that spend by the way is currently in Spain, on loan. [Post edited 11 Aug 2017 13:09]

Most of us never believed it at the time.
Those who started on about money being splashed around were crazy.
It was only ever beneficial to the shareholders who sold out to them. | | | |
