“It’s exciting for (chairman) Huw (Jenkins) now to have some money to work with and money to spend. We need to keep making the squad better.”
“It’s more that Huw and the scouting team find targets and if there is somebody they think I may know or may have played with or may know something about then they’ll ask me for my advice,” |  | | |  |

Donovans words have just put another premium on the players we are after.
Bad timing and poorly thought out by him. |  |

I don't know what's surprising about this. We've all known this was the case for a while. Some of us accepted it. Others chose to stick their heads in the sand, despite the damage that's been done over the last few years. Dictator Huw needs to be removed from office. The trouble is, his loyal subjects don't give a toss. |  | | |

I saw this on twitter earlier and I can't wait to see the back of the çunts it can't come quick enough for me.
If this is truly the case Clement should walk in my opinion,walk and spill the beans if his hands are tied. |
Well said Darran.
I despise Jenkins with a passion the tw*t |  | | |

This quote is quite damning. Huw is clearly on a pedestal amongst the Yanks, and going nowhere any time soon.
He's still very much "the man". We just continually shoot ourselves in the foot.
“It’s more that Huw and the scouting team find targets and if there is somebody they think I may know or may have played with or may know something about then they’ll ask me for my advice,” he said.
“Huw brought this team from virtually nothing to this, so I don’t need to give him advice. But if there are ways I can help then I will try to do so.” |

I'm not jumping on the Trust bashing bandwagon here, and I realise things can't be played out publicly, but I would like to know what Phil and the rest of the board's feelings on this.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the trust are still the second biggest shareholder at the club as it stands, are we comfortable with having a former roofer, who played in goals for our U8s or whoever it was, to be bringing in players for a side in the richest league in football, probably even sport in general?
It's nuts, absolutely crazy. Since Laudrup was sacked, at what stage did he have a moment to himself thinking he was educated enough, to take on a Director of Football role and have final say in transfers costing tens of millions of pound? I am genuinely worried about the future of the club. F*ck the Premier League, relegation happens to clubs twice the size of us, but we need this guy and his cronies out. | | | |

The trust are happy with the situation and the members have just given them the green light to carry on. Oh dear, well the members where warned. |  |

""Although I cannot promise or predict the future, I can guarantee one thing - the current board of directors will always fight, as we have done over the last 12 years, to work together as one with the Supporters Trust to make 100% sure that Swansea City football club remains the number one priority in all our thoughts and in every decision we make." | | Poll: | Huw Jenkins |

Can someone please tell me why we sold the club to the yanks, I thought (mistakenly) that the idea was to make this club a success by spending money on players and not directors. What is the point of them, where is the money ? never mind the money from the sale of siggy etc, they need to give us money on top of this to buy players.I'm sorry to say this but we appear to have a championship squad of players and mentality.
Forget buying the ground spend the 20 million on players or get out now !!! | | | |

Well that really is as bad, if not worse than we all thought.
Huw makes the decisions with possible advice from some guy from the States.
We must be the worst run club in the whole Premiership.
What a really sad state of affairs.
As for you you fans saying PC should walk, you have to think of his financial situation. If he walks he gets Zip.
He can now just sit back and if it all goes belly up by Christmas they will probably sack him (in fact he could ensure they do) and get compensation while behind the scenes he is arranging his next job. | | | |

It is what I have a have always thought. They watched JTAK and thought 'Here is a club we can buy on the cheap and we have a man with the Midas touch to run it'. They are thousands of miles away and so out of touch with the running of the game they cannot see the folly of their ways. Jenkins ego will keep him here as well as believes in his own hype. It would not surprise me if he walks round the club with his gong pinned to his chest.
This is sad news. We could be right royally effed. |  |

Well yes but I don't think he'd be homeless or struggle to get another job if he did do you? |  |

If he hangs on and leaves his stock fall then it will be lower leagues for him. Jenkins will make certain the blame game lies with the Coach. He has done it from ML onwards.
Clement is an ambitious young manager. He could easily walk and sing like a canary about how badly the club is run and how his hands were tied behind his back when trying to manage us. | |

Donovan has virtually given him a free pass. | |

Dont underestimate the 'Jenkins covering his own ass' machine. Clem will get the blame if he sticks around and things pan out as Donovan predicts. For reasons I cant understand the likes of Wathan will back the Sellout up as well | |

Do you really think the rest of the footballing world is that naive?
Especially with PC whispering in there ears for the next couple of months. | | | |

Yes I do. The UK press care very little about us whereas our Cardiff press love the sellouts. | |

TBH, Partz, although I kind of agree, they gave YOUNG ENGLISH Garry a pass. |  |

“But I’m here to do what’s needed, whether it’s interviews, support, or chiming in on a potential player or situation like the Gylfi one."
Chiming in? What a bellend. He doesn't mention Paul Clement. I wonder why? |
Chiming in on a player being sold to his beloved Everton.
Everything I hear from Donovan only cements my view that he's an utter bellend |  | | |

As I said in another thread I have gone from being angry about the egotistical twaat from Alltwen to just amusement about his lack of football knowledge and total arrogance! To bypass your head coach who has had experience all across European and English football is mind boggling, we knew he did this from Laudrup in his second season through to Monk,Guidolin ( we'll ignore Bradley) and Curtis in his caretaker capacity. But we thought with the takeover and Clement being a talented young manager, it would be different , how wrong we were !!
Well Huwbert, if we get relegated this season it won't be Paul Clements fault or Steve and Jason's fault (although Kaplan and Levien let the arsehole stay on!) no it will be your fault because you let your ego go before the good of the club |  |

Agree with this. However, this is confirmation from the horse’s mouth, so to speak. I’m unsure whether Donovan is just too openly honest, utterly thick, or this is a deliberate ploy by the club to draw attention to the fact we’ve not signed anybody, and when we do, it will be for a fraction of what we’ve received for Siggy, plus wherever the hell all the other income has gone. Or maybe the whole club is a shambles?
If it all goes tits up, it’s Clement’s head on the line. He’ll escape somewhat unscathed because it’s known that his hands are tied, but what does it say about his credibility as a manager? He didn’t strike me as a yes man, and I can’t believe he’d knowingly give up a great job at Bayern Munich, under the circumstances when we looked certain to go down, to be dictated to by Huw Jenkins. | | | |

Perhaps PC was lied to? Don't forget 'liar'was a term used to describe a person at our club who is still here. As far as I recall it was uncontested as well..... [Post edited 22 Aug 2017 13:41]
