Worrying news this evening that all staff at club issued with redundancy notices today.
Anyone else heard this. |  | | |  |

Sounds very ominous, very, very ominous. I dread to think what the annual accounts are going to look like. The future of Fairwood and Landore may be in serious jeopardy, it's only natural to assume.

I've done some more reading into the details of the various academy levels, how other clubs are doing things. Tried to look at the situation from both sides rather than my existing pro-development football side. It is funny how opinions can change when you try to inform yourself further and look past a gut reaction.
I maintain that the investment into the academy was obviously money well spent while in the PL. And if we had £4m to spend I'd prefer it going on the academy than a single player (Celina's been decent but the rest of them last summer...). But if we're in dire straits cutting that from £4m to £1-2m could be a big difference in cashflow, but potentially not a major disruption in terms of players coming through in the next 3-4 years.
I'm not actually too worried about Cardiff, although Tivonge Rushesha is one I'd much rather playing with us than them, and he's from their way iirc. If they get Cat One as I think they intend we'll be competing with them again for youngsters whether we like it or not. Until they get relegated. |
You recall incorrectly.
Rushesa is a Carmarthen boy.
Just saying like. |  |

Just had a vision of us playing league 2 home games at St Helens in the 2022/2023 season. Some decent pubs in Brynmill. | | | |

Everyone except the first team squad, the manager and his team have been given these letter
Why give them to the players and the likes of Toshack and all the other coaches in the Accadamy if nothing is going to happen there
I’ll guarantee you one thing, that the moral in the whole club will drop like a stone thrown down a mine shaft
From my experience,the quicker this sort of thing is done and dusted. Will be better for everyone, even the ones losing their jobs | | | |

Moral will certainly be the big issue. | |

Pity jenkins did not go when the club was sold. A decent football man at the helm may have kept us in the Premier League. i do not subscribe to this "good to have been in the PL for 7 years" view. Given that we were there for that length of time we should have been astable force there given the income that we had in that time. It has been wasted on awful signings. All this could have been avoided. | | | |

Surely if they want to cancel professional contracts of non-first team players they'll end up paying out the full value of each, up front. They were handing out extensions just the other day.
Not sure what situation the first year scholars would be in with a year left on their terms. | | | |

Don't know what all the fuss is about. If we didn't have owners who:
"Will be relentless in their determination to continually improve the club - and they have the financial resources to do so. They will be competitive and will outwork our opponents on the pitch and in the boardroom"
I'd be properly worried. |  |

Relegated one year sooner and we're not in half this mess. Bony, Ayew and Clucas killed us. | | | |

Agree, the sheer insanity of it all, the Yanks were warned, warned, warned and warned again! Nobody needed a crystal ball to predict what would happen. Completely preventable.
Seriously, what other club in the entire history of the Premier League i.e. the most richest football league in the world has ever employed a complete and utter rank-amatuer D.o.F like the ruinous Kamikaze case Jenkins?
A Trojan horse impostor, a failed roofing merchandise supplier of all things playing with, and wasting tens of millions of Pounds. | |

Yawn and so it continues, obvious about 3 years ago. Yank Vampires will bleed us dry, next all our best young players to be sold.
We either protest to get the Yanks out and find a new owner willing to put a hand in his/her pocket or it will continue until we are League 3. Obvious from the takeover day 1 and some of us were called all sorts..... |  | | |

Bony was it £10million
Clueless £16million
Ayew £19 million
And of course Agents fees could be up to £10 million
£55 million
There’s your black hole for you
Plus part wages the Swans are paying out on players that’s out on loan | | | |

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Petty win a High Court case when he got rid of players when he “owned” the club | | | |

That’s absolutely true. Mesa and the two high profile loans didn’t help either.
Not directly replying to you in this part, but staying up for an extra season didn’t hurt us. Clearing out the coffers and spending wages we could barely afford in the PL on 6 players who all failed did. | | | |

So let me get this right- they hire a new chairman on 500K a year to make savings from back room staff reduncies. Mmmm something not right ere guv . Come on TRUST let’s hear what’s going on. |
Well, he's replacing a chairman who was on £600K a year, so there's a saving straight away! |  | | |

Close - Huw Jenkins signing Bony, Ayew and Clucas killed us.
Yer average football fan on here thought all three signings were bonkers mental at the time yet the clownshoe Jenkins was paid 10k a week to ruin us even further with these absurd signings.
The thick, lazy, clueless cûnt. |  | | |

One mans out of control ego has sent the club on the road to destruction again. Steve ll, at least he has the comfort of several million pounds in the bank. Parasite. |  |
