Trust Statement regarding deal 09:59 - Jan 6 with 2652 views

We have been advised by the majority owners of Swansea City that they intend to put discussions around the sale of some of the Trust's shares to the owners of the club on hold. When informing us of this, the owners of the club cited the ongoing concerns among some Trust and Trust Board members about aspects of the share sale and also the majority owners own desire to concentrate on on-field matters.

As the mandate from Trust members to sell shares was given in July 2017 and there will now be a further delay in fulfilling that mandate, the Trust Board can confirm that a further members’ consultation will take place to ensure the Trust Board is acting on the current views of its membership on how we proceed from this point.

We will provide a further update to members as soon as possible.

Now, before anyone says the statement isn't strong enough etc, the reality is as follows :

a) there'll be a new Trust board recommendation
b) there'll be another forum to review that
c) ultimately there'll have to be another vote

A touch ironic that it's actually the Americans who have halted talks because of concerns of Trust members rather than the Trust themselves halting proceedings because of the fast changing situation.

Maybe the Americans should be representing the Trust members rather than the Trust.

If you read the statement from the Americans that's not what it says though.

In the absence of ability to merge threads going to lock this one and point everyone in the direction of here to save any trust board members needing to reply to two different threads

Discussions on sale of Trust shares put on hold.
