Shouldn't really need saying, should it? Of course we'll get behind the boys on a match day, even the moaners.

Not sure I would agree with the inherent suggestion that any Swans supporters have done anything other than back the team and the manager to be honest.

Rather feeds into the agenda that's been pushed from the other side of the pond that people's disgruntlement has something to do with the manager. Never mind - makes it easy for the same people that have been criticising Swans supporters to point out that even the Supporters Trust are finding it necessary to ask people to support their own team. Shame.

Don't want to turn into another Newcastle where the fans are against manager and board.

You wouldn't think that reading some of the posts on here though Lisa,I not only hope we win but I hope we wreck them with a good performance and several goals so we won't see certain posters on here next week.

I've seen posts criticising the board Darran. I've seen posts criticising the background of Bradley (not nationality by the way) and wondering why he was selected over all others. I've seen posts criticising the treatment of Guidolin.

I've seen posts criticising the team selection (well, FF and Taylor). I haven't seen a single post that has expressed anything but absolute and total support for the team on match day.

I just see a bit of PR to say that the trust (and through them the fans) back the manager and team and that any issues are with the owners. If anything an attempt to refute the insinuations coming from some on the other side of the pond without making a big thing of them.

"Trust call on fans to back Bob and the boys" is an insinuation that they are not at present.

I understand the thinking behind it, but it (inadvertently) supports the positions that have been taken this week that Swans fans are not properly supporting the team.

The only fans that weren't behind Bob and the boys at The Emirates were the six Arsenal fans who got ejected after the first goal.

See where you are coming from, but it all depends on whether it can be made to fit the agenda or whether the agenda changes in any way.

If the owners are looking for sponsorship/revenue streams in the states a perceived anti USA fan base would not help. The easiest way to make this aspect of the story go away would be for them to change their ways.

I can see your point of view here, but I think it might be worth the Trust explicitly distinguishing between ownership and team management before they take action which could be seen as discriminatory...

It'll be interesting to see how a call for Swans fans to support the manager and team will be spun in the US media. Let's see if they twist it to fit their narrative. If they do, and the Board does nothing to contradict it, then the Trust may as well give up hoping for a meaningful dialogue.

That's a very fair point. Perhaps it is the start of things to come.

I'm speculating here, but as early as tomorrow I think you may find that ship has sailed.

Like Mr N. T. Taylor I see it as a positioning statement, definitely. Remind everyone that the team and manager is being supported by the Trust before laying into past and current turds...sorry, board members. Still speculating.

Everything might be peachy in the governance garden.
