Today is the first step on the road to me not having to care if it's Levein or Levien.
Seriously though, the well was poisoned from day one given the way they went about the takeover in the first place. Whilst I will maintain that there have been, since 2016, a hell of a lot worse owners of clubs out there, a fresh(ish) start is for the best. |  |

He's not wrong. Nothing Kaplan or Levein/Levien can ever do will erase the mistrust so better they be elsewhere.
Mind you, it won't stop people whinging about whoever takes over as Coleman has no doubt already noticed. | |

The Summer window was the last straw, Levien has pulled the strings for far to long.
Hopefully onwards and upwards with a fresh start |  |

I wish Andy and his team all the very best. I really hope they can turn things around and the first thing they need to do is appoint an experienced football executive to run the club / sporting director etc to support Luke. Someone who knows the EFL. | | | |

This, however, will still represent a huge loss relative to the investment made in the club.

 Swansea City : Will this lead to the end of Levien & Kaplan ? 16th Oct 2024 08:00Swansea City are surrounded with speculation this week. First the agreed departure of Sporting Director, Paul Watson which was decided upon last week, and announced on the Monday. This amid rumours of his departure being abrupt and non conciliatory. The regular failures to build relationships at the Swans within the supposed ‘hierarchy’ - with coaches, employees and managers continues.  0

The Kaplan and Levien ownership has been a disaster for the Swans. |  |

No website or News outlet should feel as proud as I do for the incessant and arduous work that brought about our exclusive a month ago. Corny, now sadly not with us (on the website) Liam and our sources who trust us and have always done so well 👏
You played one hell of a game.

I don't doubt that they've cheerfully written off most of it against their taxes.
We were, at best, a fairly low stakes bet for them. Certainly the increase in their DC United investment value far exceeds anything that they might have lost here. In reality that's probably the main issue. As long as we're not losing too much, they haven't really had to care. | |

They let Jenkins get on with it. By the time they worked out what a loser he had become it was too late. After that it was just a case of making sure we remained a low level going concern with a possibility of a return.
But like I said, they were onto a loser from day one given the way they colluded with the sellouts during the takeover. It would have taken more than they were prepared to give to undo that damage, so it is undoubtedly for the best that we part ways. | |

Hopefully this is the start of something positive.
First job I suspect they will do is sort pir centre halves contracts out, then get the attack sorted in January.
Surely they know we aren't far off being a side that can challenge for the play offs. |  | | |

I’ll just keep on 😂
Oct 16th.
⚽️ Is there interest in a group of known and two unknown investors to club together and remove the dogged resistance of Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan ?
We believe that’s more probable in the long term with agreements in place to remove their overall influence - and in time leave.
⚽️ Are these talks ongoing ?
You can bet your bottom dollar they are, and they have been for some time. You can add to the mix our experiences of the majority shareholding, and their drawn out discussions in every financial matter since they took over in 2016, as holding up this process.
⚽️ Will Andrew Coleman remain ?
As it stands we think yes, Kieran Maguire points out that ownership of a club like Swansea City is ‘trophy ownership’ Now we may not know our way round the big world of the football finance industry, but we know about people. Coleman, if he does finish at the Swans will in no way want to be heading back to the USA with a failed venture. And in any event he is to be congratulated in a way for his belief he can get this right, and indeed for placing the club in a better position for a sale or investment. And this is the reason why this is all taking so long, ego’s … and big ones at that. The other matter will be the make up and split up of the LLC in the USA. If certain American interest remains there has to be an agreement in not only how that works out, but of course with regards to the overall picture with Swansea City.
You can understand why it takes so long, but it is most certainly down to what has been (since the last investment in the summer) a process which we think commenced in July this year. So that’s the final question.
⚽️ Will these talks lead to a change in the demographic at Swansea City ?
The simple answer is - Yes. | |

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 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 |  | | |

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? | | | |
