Well he never stays long at a club, but that is what he is about. He is a firefighter and when he gets things back on an even keel, a buyer can be found...with the knowledge that everything is transparent and in front of the buyers. He has a good reputation and buyers would feel relative safe from being shafted... |  |

Don't want the Americans
Don't want Birch
Don't want to sell
Don't want, don't want, don't want.
Do you want a club at all?
No one will buy Swansea City:-
1) for anywhere near what the American consortium have spent so far.
2) while we have the Trust owning 21% but doing nothing but whining.
3) we are not profitable. |  |

Whilst I support the idea of the trust, in my opinion it is the main barrier to investment.
The owners can't just throw millions at the club as that would breach financial fair play rules. The only way to put money in is through investment which would mean the issuing of new shares. Doing this would dilute the trust's holding.
Similarly, anyone looking to buy the club would be in the same situation.
Given where we are, I would rather see the trust shares sold at a fair valuation, then the owners can then either invest or sell it on. This limbo state is the worst of all worlds | | | |

When Birch was appointed, there was a statement saying he wasn't coming here to take up his normal role. It was made clear he was taking up a 'normal' DoF role.
Of course, that could well change. At what point will it become clear to the Americans that we're only a loss-making club now, and they decide to bail? Or maybe we'll buck the odds and be one of the few (only?) clubs to get promoted from this league without relying on owner finance covering debt. Unlikely, but who knows. |  | | |

Exactly, they are an investment consortium, the swans has been a bad investment so far, and it's also a risky one because of the relegation systems. It looks like they want out to me and it makes sense from their point of view.
On the other hand, they may actually be trying to clear our financial problems and aim to get back in the premier by building a talented young squad. | |

What new owners?
We could must only one seriously interested group when we were finishing 8th in the Premier League.
Perhaps we could be like Cardiff with their owner who is bankrolling the club with loans or likewise Fulham and their $Billionaire owner. And be in the Championship AND owning 10s of £millions.
Unless you know of the Swansea equivalent of Dean Hoyle or can muster up a backstory for the club to rival Leicester or Everton we are not going to be sold to some sugar daddy owner or as a peacock project. | |
