Whilst I totally agree with the logic of your post in relation to the current (and ongoing) position, and all your similar posts over a long period, do be careful or Ux will be on accusing you of absolute bias and using lies against you to detract from the absolute validity of your opinion.

This shows the difference between professional and amateurs. Whether or not you agree with the Consortium they are, without even trying, making the Trust look exactly what it is - a committee of well meaning amateurs but completely out of their depth. | ![](/images/avatars/23858.gif) |

Of course Trevor, Steve and Jasonare laughing at the Trust and the supporters Wouldn’t you if you were in the same position and that if you were in a dispute and saw the opposition so pathetic and weak What have the supporters done to show they are not accepting what’s happening And then there’s the Trust A complete waste of time and where their complacency for so many years have showed what they are I’ve never understood this “shareholders agreement” only as much that if anyone was selling their shares. They had to be offered equally to the other shareholders If you read Company Law that says that if one shareholder owns 75% of the shares.

Well done you...for pointing out what has already previously stated. You know , one of the many reasons, why people were unhappy at Jenkins ignoring the Shareholders agreement and going behind the Trust's back. Then the Trust, realising that the remedies under the law were insufficient to "properly" deal with the scenario in a way that would suit the fans/Trust and not the egregious party, chose to negotiate - this reminder is from somebody who voted for legal action the first time round. So thank you for your pointless, point scoring, smugness...now go bother sheep. | ![](/images/avatars/9198.gif) |

A few definitions of a committee whish is very apt for the Trust 1. To get something done a committee should consist of no more than three people, two of whom are constantly absent 2. A committee is a group that takes minutes but waste hours 3. To kill time, a committee is a perfect weapon Three of those quotes some up the Trust to a tee | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If the Trust gets its case off the ground, all these issues must surely strengthen its claims? [Post edited 24 Mar 2019 1:01]

Incorrect, my issue is your current anti Swansea stance. As I stated in my post, it was mentioned before (the new boards actions) and it was not liked and then you come along way after the fact and claim that we accepted it. Whilst I agree that we were not forthright in our views we changed the make up of the Trust board to re-envigor the Trust and push for action. As mentioned by those linked with the Trust any legal action is very slow and very limited in it's redress so careful (and tactful) actions are required leading up to the eventual time in court. I await this with a sense of impatience but have to temper my feelings with deference to legal sensibilities looking for the best chance of a "best outcome". I, surprisingly, will listen to all views so please feel free to add to the conversation but don't regurgitate pointless barbs/old positions, particularly, whilst not allowing the Trust time to cover all bases to facilitate a positive outcome. I will also add that i'm a little touchy as the Swans fate is important to me though I understand that it is not quite so important to you. | ![](/images/avatars/9198.gif) |

Interesting though that the Trust, after our previous negotiations that led to the recommendation for the shockingly weak deal, saw us, all that time ago, as ready to immediately initiate legal action (if the vote had gone that way). What has changed. I agree we should do our utmost to show we have been willing to negotiate, but we had already done that at length last time. However that does not imply the need to accept any deal that is not close to what we could reasonably expect from the likely success of our strong legal case. The Trust also at the last meeting promised a vote this month (although did not see the members as fit to briefly review the consultation document to check for balance / omissions to help circumvent a repeat of the last biased cock up) The Trust actually stated almost from the outset that they could not deal with the new majority owners without reassurances on share dilution. However they backed down from this stance without any long term reassurances, as they came to realise that was not a tenable position, given new share issue is a valid vehicle to raise finance for the club P.S. thought barbs always had points ;) | ![](/images/avatars/23067.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Where have I said “That we accepted it” All I have said that Swansea supporters have accepted what’s happening to their club. Because they have done nothing against what’s happening.
