Kaplan and Levien to make a statement......
at 19:44 10 Aug 2018

What I’m really struggling with is that a statement such as this does not go on to say that the architect of our financal ruin has been removed from his post.

Sometimes during the course of a long season it’s the seemingly little decisions that have an impact. Could the decision to give Sanches 90 minutes today be one of those?

Guardian article - spot on
at 12:28 21 Dec 2017

Absolutely spot on article. Should have formed the basis of the comments made by the fans representative last night on Sky Sports News.

The events of the past 24 hours were inevitable from the moment Leon was appointed to the coaching staff. Never mind those in a position to challenge will continue to “trust the Board”.

Who is to blame for the current situation?

This sums up perfectly how I feel. The entire club is rotten to the core.

Fair point. Absolutely nothing at the moment. But quite possibly we could avoid relegation in the first season or two we could start to rebuild there and some of the youngsters from the academy may be able to establish themselves at that level.

Lose our next two games
at 09:35 30 Nov 2017

Twelve months ago the threads on here were broadly similar. Opinions varied as to whether we were already relegated, with some posters more positive believing we could escape......and here we are again. Personally I doubt whether we will be so fortunate this time as the key figures in last seasons recovery are no longer with us. There are those who see PL survival as "the be all and end all" but what has been gained by avoiding the drop last season? Another season of misery. The Sky money just wasted on appalling acquisions and compounded by the wage bill of these same individuals. The much talked about "match day experience" is dreadful. I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a game. The club is rotten from top to bottom and unless things change dramatically- the previous owners have to be moved on- it'll just be the same next year. Surely the majority of Swans fans - particularly the pre 2011 core - want to see good football with a chance of winning or at least competing every week. If that means dropping down to the Championship then so be it

Can't take the pain any longer.....

The chronic under investment in recent years is becoming more damaging each year. It's tempting to say the lessons from at least the past two seasons have not been learned but there seems to be no appetite or indeed interest in learning these lessons. I think we have to accept that this is the way it's going to be. Pity help us next year when the loan signings go and we sell Mawson or whoever to generate the funds that are apparently needed to balance the books. Against this background I really don't see the point in the Swans remaining in the PL. Survival is our only aim before the first ball is kicked, the football is awful and results are worse. I've no problem with grinding out goalless draws away from home and making ourselves hard to beat but we have to be more expansive at home and that's where the wheels come off.

We're going to be relegated.
at 18:41 15 Jan 2017

Well I gave up before the season started. It was clear during the summer that the lessons of last season were not learned. I said last April that the worst thing that could happen was - having avoided relegation - we would go on a run. Just the excuse our Directir of Football needed to waste yet another transfer window. The failure to sign Joe Allen and replace Guidolin with a long term managerial appointment sealed our fate before a ball was kicked. To be honest I'm not in the least concerned at the prospect of Championship football and for me it's all about building a squad now that can compete at that level. Under Bradley even that seemed unlikely.

I agree 100% with this. The whole club - players, management, owners, Trust - has been allowed to deteriorate to such an extent that it cannot be recovered without relegation. We should be starting from now to build a squad that can compete in the Championship - frighteningly the current players are in the main not good enough for even that scrap. The worst thing we could do from this position is spend on even more highly paid mercenaries and saddle ourselves with huge debt. We need to accept the inevitable and just start again with the priority being to maintain Championship football. As things stand at the moment that would be some achievement.

Regrets
at 13:27 18 Dec 2016

I don't see why they would regret selling out to the Yanks. They knew exactly what they were doing and got what they wanted. I would hope that there are a lot of decisions that they do bitterly regret mainly centring around appalling player and manager recruitment and non recruitment. But as the same mistakes were repeated time and again - with the cheap option being the common denominator -I am probably being charitable and the reality is they don't give a stuff.

I hope your optimism is justified but I feel things have been allowed to drift to such an extent it's almost unrecoverable. I have no confidence that our transfer window activity will save us. It'll be David N'gog all over again but for stupid money.

I gave up a long time ago. It might even have been before the season started. We did not learn the lessons from last season and another disastrous transfer window sealed our fate. This team is worse than the promotion side. Add to that a clueless manager and a Board which las been focussed on their own interests for the past two seasons. Returning to the Championship does not bother me personally -I actually detest the Premier League - but I find it so sad that we have thrown away such an opportunity. I suppose we were immune to the greed of the PL for a while but it got us in the end.
