Hopefully now , the supporters come back , the promote the Swans in the Swansea Bay region and beyond, the valleys, Wast Wales and even Mid Wales, where there are still people supporting Swansea City .
PS our manager seems to be doing a fantastic job on shoe strings so fingers crossed a bit of team investment and oh yes , Gabango and Darling Contracts to address


Pembrokeshire Jacks bring a coach of 40 to 50 up every home game.

Never knew getting old would happen so quick!

Lets see if the new executive group can get Cabango and Darling sorted as soon as possible. It would be a strong statement for the fans if they could achieve this.


Hopefully they haven't made their minds up to go, I doubt anything had been said to them about a takeover, so they may have other things lined up, unless they've had a nod and a wink to cool their heels for a little bit

Glad to see the back of Kaplan and Levein, hopefully the new set up can learn from mistakes already made. I like the fact that Coleman is a majority shareholder with boots on the ground involved daily, no where to hide and a lot of money to lose. Hopefully this can build a few bridges between the fans and ownership group.

I sensed a new positive vibe about our play against Oxford, continuing against Watford I've a strong feeling that the core of the playing staff knew this was in the pipeline and a new deal for Ben and Harry could well be on its way.

I see Kaplan and Levien would receive a bonus if we win promotion/stay up according to the article.

What does Coleman mean by "needing to move on from the previous owners"? I thought they were all friends?


What does he mean? To me it means that after sitting in the away end many times in his short term so far, listening to fans and hearing and seeing things at home games that he realised the fans felt Levein and Kaplan were a poisoned chalice that we wanted rid of. The falling crowds and obvious discontent stirred him to act and along with Morris and Cravatt has removed the previous owners and given us fans a bit of hope again.

I've been a bit cynical about Coleman but fair do's, he moved his family over, he comes to ganes and yes, sits in the away end with us. I'm ready to put my cynicism to one side for the now and give him full support, lets see what he can do.

At the very least I think he has learned things that the previous 2 never did. Hopefully he'll keep learning and we will see improvements all around.

The poisoned chalice we have often referred to only became one when Levien and Kaplan started to take a hold budget wise two years ago. That’s why Andrew Coleman was brought in. His hands have been tied on so many deals and efforts to improve the Swans position by Levien especially.

It was inevitable that Coleman with more interested investors would eventually either disappear or take control. Fair play to Coleman he’s answered a number of critics, but his hard work has just begun.

Let's hope that he doesn't turn out to be like those two then.

I have been one of Colemans biggest critics, possibly unfairly because his hands have been tied. Clearly he has been only a puppet to the majority owners on very short strings and not as some have said "the man on the ground in the UK making decisions", it must have been very frustrating for him. Time for a fresh start now not only for the new ownership but also for Coleman. Once the formalities are completed hopefully people can learn from mistakes of the past and drive us on to future success.

I totally echo this, I was the same, if he's at Burnley on Sunday i will be in the queue to shake his hand.

I too would like to add my congratulations to Keith and the validation of Indy 'reporter(s)' (Liam?) over their splendid 'Swans in talks: how will it all end?' article.

The accuracy of that article, now the sale details are slowly emerging, can be viewed as a most impressive 'scoop' indeed. How many 'Red Top' papers would have wrenched your arm off to have been the first to report it? (If only little 'nowheresville' Welsh clubs mattered eh?)

Our genuine thanks must also be provided to the insider source. Someone who may well have put his/her job on the line by releasing the information.

Someone who was presumably disturbed by what financial and negative restrictions the club was facing, and so, wanted the news to be made public, to give hope to Swans fans that the "couldn't care less," absentee landlord mindset of Levien and Kaplan was at last, coming to an end.

Congratulations again Keith and the splendid staff, it's really appreciated by the vast majority of us Jacks.

Thanks. It’s like all of our more important reports, they will generally come to fruition in time. The SCFC2 site was incredibly critical last month. But that’s expected, there’s no malice from me, I said what I said in response. The matter is now dead.

However, I can’t be bothered to see what they are saying today.

We work within a very source related process grading information as per the military system 4x4x4. There’s many factors within that system which have to be green lighted or otherwise. We put all our information together on this, spoke to some key movers and went for it. It was inevitable it would happen, despite Levien moving the goalposts continuously.

More news on an investor later today.

With these billionaire owners will there be significant investment in the first team coming?
Would be nice to have the academy upgraded again also.

Do we dare to dream again?
Seriously I am trying to keep my expectations low but it is exiting times ahead.

A dream start for me

Harry and Ben Sign 4 year contracts
We sign a striker that scores for fun
Few other positions strengthened like the wings + real attacking midfielder like ntcham but not as inconsistent. we push for a play off place.
Win the play offs .

No pressure new owners 🤣

Personally, now I would say there are better times ahead. But proceed with great caution.
