When Andrew Coleman, the current Swansea City Chairman sits down to reflect on the month to date he may well have a few heart palpitations. He has been fronting talks for certain players, such as Josh Low, and taking on the full daily running of the club. We know this, because the club are happy for us to share it.

We could say a lot more.

As much as his industrious and committed stance at the club he fronts is welcome, there is only a certain amount of hours in the day for one person to work with. Especially if they take on every task they believe needs their attention. Over the last two months he has had to formalise the deal to rid the club of majority investors, Steve. Kaplan and Jason Levien and get wealthy businessman Tyler Morse on to the board.This after a year trying to reduce the clubs outgoings (hence the low salary base to play for the Swans) and a minefield of other tasks too long to list here. The welcoming of the new investment in the Swans, around twenty one million pounds ploughed in the main by Brett Cravatt, Jason Cohen, Andrew Coleman and several other small investors has been crucial.

This is where we have to start this morning.

Despite the majority of the Swansea City support now very keen to see Luke Williams, and more than likely those he brought with him a year ago to leave that doesn’t mean a lot. It will concern Coleman to an extent, but overall nobody on any terrace or in any seat has ever made that decision. The person who knows the sums and all the figures is Andrew Coleman. And those who will also know are his team of new investors who have put in over twenty million pounds as mentioned. The big thought from this website was put to the same sources who assisted us to reveal and disclose new ownership in October 2024 some questions.

So, make of this what you will. There has been other areas to that conversation we will report but this morning isn’t the time.

In conversation in general we posed the question on the immediate future, investment and Luke Williams. The latter was met with a business type response. In general, the investors and the Chairman want a head coach (he is the face of the club) to promote positivity and be aware of the impact of how the club is perceived. That’s is clealry not what is happening at this moment in time, and in turn that affects revenue, income via commercial activity and fans through the gate. And regardless of what anyone says, and there’s always a few, Luke’s credit rating isn’t good at this moment in time. Based on that the club, the people who spend money - and make decisions that affect the club greatly are in some form of a quandary. The reason being they aren’t seeing what they believe to be the basics to forward their business and investment. The answer as to Luke’s future prospects will never be known exactly. But you evaluate the circumstances and yiu do get the answers.

Although people made their own minds up, we never once stated Luke was going to WBA this month. He walked into that mess himself. We reported rumours and others remarks on our Twitter account of course. That’s what we do, we report news. However the IQ of a few on there is around about the number of goals Liam Cullen has scored this season. Reporting news on key club events all of a sudden became unacceptable, ‘no you can’t say that about people’ when you say things about them it confuses and hurts us.

Well, this is the real world and the people running the show at Swansea want to see stability, and this month there has been none. They want to see results and they want to see unity. When a club slips to the depths of a head coach being asked / told or by his own steam to go to Holland in the middle of all this current mess on the pitch we have to, and we did raise questions. Again people felt it was a vendetta against Luke, which the more wiser folk could see quite clearly it was not. It was a club decision, so we asked for reasons. People came up with flight schedules and saying it was okay on his day off etc. But that wasn’t the point, it was why is he doing this ? It’s not unheard of but it couldn’t be a worse time to do so.

Wherever Luke is this morning, to us now it really doesn’t matter, why he’s there to an extent does, but in two days time there is a home game against Sheffield United. Leaving a Swansea side that to many doesn’t seem to be playing or working hard enough as professional footballers. The three away games this month have all been losses, the Swans have conceded ten and scored none. In that time over those three games against Portsmouth, Southampton and Cardiff nearly 5,000 Swansea supporters have travelled eight hundred and fifty miles or so and spent a day from early morning yesterday sat on buses.

I even think that run of not scoring last year was better than we have witnessed this month. I’ll include Hull away as well, another shocking masterclass in delivering nothing. Whatever happens next, and Luke will still be at Swansea come Tuesday evenings game it has to be thought through properly. The club feels like it is stuck in the mud and pretty rudderless both on and off the pitch. If Luke gets the results this week at home to the Blades and away at Norwich fair play to him. However, that really isn’t the question overall, it has to be asked, if you are going to sack Luke Williams then why wait any longer ? Either that or come out with a statement supporting him as people want to make plans for Tuesday night. And some have had enough. This next game on Tuesday for those who do turn up will not make it a smooth journey for anyone in that ground. They’ve been served up rubbish for too long and we include before and after the game as well.
