Hugh Jenkins has too much say in the running of the Swans.
He has too many YES men around him. Nobody has any say in it`s running or are too afraid to stand up to him and offer him a different path to go down.
If something is not implemented soon we are down. We need a complete overhaul of the club from the grass roots up. Forget increasing the size of the stadium we will not need it if they carry on the way this board is going. |
I think we are already deep in it, the Trust have a difficult job here. We need to be clear about the potential outcomes and then take the best option for the long term security of the club, that may mean taking a big step backwards.
The legal process is a minefield, one to use at last resort, but also provides the chance of a change in circumstances.
Ironically, one good option would be for Huw to handover is shareholding to the Trust taking the Trust over the 25% of holdings and regaining Huw some of his reputation by admitting a mistake. |  |

Not a chance in hell of Jenkins doing that, that much is clear you only have to look at the way he has behaved over the last 12 months, snidey sneeky no good bastard. |  |

That needs to be printed in full in the Evening Post so people know what's gone on.
Even if we pay for it in the form of a advert. |
Good idea. Probably only a few thousand, if that, will read this forum and the Trust statement but most of Swansea and the surrounding areas read the EP. |  | | |

To play devils advocate a little ,seems to me the board wanted to sell whilst the club was prime to buy ,fair enough they invested we didn't chance of a big pay day can't really blame them for that ! Along come the first yanks all done above board with the trust but the trust won't let them sell by putting up obstacles? So the deal falls through,next lot of yanks step up board members think ok we still want to sell but the trust may mess it up again ,what do we do I know keep them out of it get the deal over the line and bobs your uncle and hope the trust eventually run with it because not to means 3 div football and back to oblivion and only memories when the yanks go home after being dragged through the courts ?
I really don't know what's for the best here !! |
I’ve never had a problem with the old board selling their shares and cashing in. As you say, they put up their money when the club needed it, so good luck to them. The shady nature of the dealings really stink. If the shareholders honestly believed they were acting legally, they weren’t breaking the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Trust couldn’t legally stop them, they could have just openly forced the sale through against the Trust’s wishes and the only downside would have been the negative opinions of the Trust (and probably the fans). Maybe they thought that, once the deal was complete (even if there were dodgy goings-on) that they would get away with it. There is that saying “it’s easier to ask for forgiveness than permission”, but I don’t think that has any legal standing… |  | | |

This is un-believable. A good thing that could come is that the new owners look to their legal options against the sellers for "warranting " that the shareholder agreement wasn't legally binding, that will give them squeaky bum time.
We need to be behind the team more than ever on Saturday, this could get very divisive for our team. We need to get working with the new owners too, clearly the trust are trying to do this, got to keep plugging at it. It looks like Phil and the rest of the trust board are behaving impeccably. Well done.  |
Surely the buyers would have looked at that original Shareholders’ Agreement very closely as part of their due diligence process. They wouldn’t have just taken Huw’s word that it was nothing to worry about! | | | |

I'd be surprised if there will be any backlash. Most of the spectators (because that's what they are) will not even know or care. I'd like the sellouts spat at, sworn at and abused on a massive scale by the whole crowd until they realise they aren't welcome, but I don't believe for one second it will happen. Unfortunately this forum is not representative of the crowd from what I've seen and heard around me. |
Disagree with some of this. As Michelle Obama said “When they go low, we go high”. Spitting and personal abuse just makes us look thuggish and childish. | | | |

14 years go these guys put in £50,000 each and saved our club.
They've now sold and made millions in profit. I wonder how many of us would have refused the deal.
I'm worried for our club. I think these yanks will ruin us and they will be to blame.
You couldn't make it up!
Maybe the yanks will invest heavily and we will go from strength to strength and HJ and co will be heroes. Somehow I doubt it. |
That was 14 years ago but having done what they did they have now put the club in the hands of people who have yet to build bridges with what is the lifeblood of any club - the fans and supporters, and so far have failed to live up to the claim that they intend to work with the Trust. Power corrupts as does greed and this seems the only guiding light for the old board as their actions have been a disgrace. They would have you believe that its the only way the club could have moved forward but have just lined their pockets and you`d think that at least one of them would have done the decent thing and sell some shares to the trust to safeguard it but no not one of them they should be rightly ashamed of their actions. I must admit that I have no understanding of the legalities and money side of things but it only strengthens by belief that you can not trust anyone that has money and power they'll always end up abusing it. The Trust has always been what I believed it to be as there when the shit hits the fan join today!! |  | | |

Yeah the trust would not let them sell so they sold without telling them ,it's wrong and we're now in big shit this club is heading backwards this I belive is why they kept them in the dark yes they wanted the money and weather we like it or not they were free to sell their shares ,but it's all bent ,so we're do we go from here that's the conundrum |
So could the Trust have legally prevented any sale, or were the sellers just worried that the Trust would try to put off any potential buyers?
If it's the former, then they have broken the law. If it's the latter, then they have just been astute businessmen, although ethically acting like a bunch of sh1ts. | | | |

As the remaining shareholders have transferred their voting rights to the new owners, what happens if those shares are later sold on? Do the voting rights automatically transfer back to the new purchasers of the shares, or do those shares - even following resale - no longer hold voting power?
The reasons I ask is following the suggestion above of Huw regaining some face and gifting his 5% to the trust and taking them up above the important 25% barrier... Surely it can't be that straightforward, and if it is, surely the Americans would've foreseen this potential scenario and put in place mitigatory measures to prevent it from happening?
All probably irrelevant anyway. My business knowledge stretches no further than what I've learned from Dragons Den |  | | |

Possibly a legal case could win the Trust some financial payout from the previous owners, but unless they can turn that into shares and prevent any future dilution, that's not a great help.
Huw's reputation is dead and there's not much he can do to revive it.
Darth Vader killed the Emperor and saved Luke Skywalker at the end of Return of the Jedi, but people still think of him as a villain. What chance does Huw have? | | | |

So we are now in a position where we are reliant on Levein, Kaplan and whoever else is behind the purchase to protect the interests of the club. The Trust has been well and truly done over by this. We should support their efforts to keep the club 'honest' as best they can and I thank them for their hard work with little reward.
It is clear that much of the former board took the money with little consideration of the club. The dollar signs in their eyes clearly blinded them and washed their memory of how they became shareholders. It would seem only Martin Morgan and Brian Katzen (those who had the greatest interest in selling) tried to bring in 'investment" above the sale. The actions of the likes of Jenkins, Dineen and JVZ (all big 'fans' of course) seemingly ignore the club's best interests.
So now we rely on the Americans.....
let us hope they are 'long term' investors not looking for a quick turnover. They can, at least, do no worse than 'Chairman Jenkins' has for the few years. | | | |

It is still unclear who Jason and Steve are representing. Who is Romie Chaudhari and Robert Henreich?

The club took money from fans and has bought players and not paid for them in the past. It happens.
A while ago ago some individuals saved the club and the Trust may not have achieved that on its own.
Still has a value in the club.
It could and should have been handled better but lets not forget our players and owners are rich and some ex directors have cashed in for their retirement.
Tough tittie lets accept it for what it is and move on and either support the team or take it to the Trust outside of the stadium. |

HJ & Morgan have already given their shares eg voting shares to the Yanks.
Meaning the Americans now have 75% controlling interest. Sorry to say,Sadly The Trust shares count for nothing. | | | |
