In fact, the answer to wasting millions is to get the fans to pay more. A regime that is out of touch & desperately lacking football expertise” Surely now is time for fans to unite and demonstrate our anger at the owners. Perhaps a boycott of the next home game could bring them the bad publicity that they despise?! |  | | |  |

My post has got eff all to do with the manager, it's to do with something far bigger, the club we ALL love, no matter who likes which manager. These pr!cks who are over here supposedly running the club are going to take us down whilst living a lavish lifestyle on us, so yes, the goalposts have definitely moved. |
So let's stick together then |  |

Club isn’t looking like it has the potential to return to the Premier League. If we are being honest it’s looking less likely now than it has at any time since the club’s was relegated. With a tough run of games to come over the next 2 months including most of the top 8 clubs, there’s a good chance the team could be in the bottom 3 in January. The fans are restless, if things deteriorate fans will bite with their feet and it will become a vicious circle. |  | |  |

Clowns like me thought we d be contenders go go straight back . We made two play offs but Steve’s charges screwed up. Then on,it’s been a downbound train. It’s a roller coaster to the pits right now Out of control |  |

We had the opportunity , twice, but failure to push on has now cost us any chance in the foreseeable future . The squad is the weakest its been in 6 years and with no sign of improvement , most other Clubs have improved ( not for a moment we should be chasing the dream by putting the Club in financial difficulties ) but throughout the Club from the Academy up the flow of decent footballers has dried up , to a point where our first team squad is worth about 30 million tops .That's not progression but regression which is affecting support with the knock on effect of income. |  |

Indeed so. I’ve commented on the lack of apparent atmosphere at games and chided for not doing the 500 mile round trip more often. If those who are now at the ground are the hard core then God help us . Still,they can gossip and bitch to their uber loyal chums S they watch the current horrific fare in front of them. No fan is better than another . A fan is a fan is a fan. You make a good point about walking away. It’s almost akin to a marriage . Don’t go back. We made the mistakes of going back by signing Bony ,Ayew ,and Allen - possibly the worse decision of all. For fans to return,ideally we need new owners but it’s to whom these jerks will sell. As my long time followers will testify,I was all for this sale as I thought or hoped they would take us forward . That’s typical fan stupidity but I am an irrelevance .I hope . Right now,it’s all about prayer . |  |

Most home games and 4 or 5 aways hardly makes me a super fan. Others go to virtually all home and aways. They dont support the owners, they are just die hard Swansea. They attend games. I guess you attend away games if you dont want to give your money to the yanks |  |

My reason for not going has nothing to do with the Yanks, I have found other things that are more meaningful than watching the Swans week in & out. For the record. Coventry will be away game number 2 (71st different away ground with the Swans) Birmingham probably number 3 |  | |  |

Swansea and Cardiff are different. Swansea city fans own around 12% of the club. Reportedly due to drop to 10%. This was from a 21% holding worth a staggering £21m in the Premier league years. The members did not force the people running the Trust to put their share up for sale at any point. This was clearly the right thing to do. A 'no brainer'. Cardiff fans can blame Tan. Swansea fans have nowhere to run. They are club owners. They can if they wish get the Trust to propose a vote of no confidence in the club management. At the moment the fans a support the club administration. The rest is just a bit of whining. |  |

Only partly club owners though, 10/20% doesn’t really mean much ? What can they do? Might have been worth £20 million but how would they ever get it so to speak? Do what with it? Just looking at your jan Feb fixtures and they don’t look to good, saying that I thought we had some ok ones and we just lost all of them…..😂 |  | |  |

| Time to act on 21:48 - Dec 17 by Whiterockin | Exactly, some say look at the money they are investing to keep the loss making club afloat. I put forward the point, if the club was run professionally we wouldn't be losing so much and wouldn't need so much investment. |
I agree. How many clubs have 2 high paid managerial posts around CEO level? Paying Gude, Coleman AND their families to be here. Why? I have never heard of another club giving the chairman job to the person who pays them the most money. Surely that job should go to someone who is most competent, not given it through so called investment 🤷♂️ |  |

Exactly it doesn't matter how they get their money as long as they get it., and they do with interest. |  |

How they get their money matters an awful lot. You are not thinking properly. Before talking why not explain your weak theory. (One guy of SCFC2 suggested the club had 100 phantom zombie workers that existed on paper but not in reality. He was taken seriously for a while). For example talking hypothetically they could take money by stealing it. This would be illegal and they would be charged by the UK authorities. Their reputation would sink like a stone. Levien and especially Kaplan have excellent business reputations. The Trust would be implicated also. As one theory this is "with the fairies". So have they taken dividends? No never. Silverstein confirmed this Consultancy fees will all be in the accounts. Over paying Coleman and Gude and taking a cut. Small potatoes Simply not worth the hassle. Neither of these guys would accept such as scam. If you can back up your words then explain your theory. Making money is damn hard with monthly trading losses due to playing people like Grimes huge money he is not earning at the moment. When you are captain you take charge of the free kick Boro scored from. Instead he left it to Captain in waiting Darling who messed it up. [Post edited 19 Dec 2023 16:19]

Then once a member propose a item on the agenda for 'vote of no confidence' in the club management. The membership can vote on it. This in my opinion is highly premature as they have not yet had much time to settle in. In the Jenkinista era his first steps were wrong in employing Nick Cusack. Jenkins took decisive action and then went on a 13 year run of success. [Post edited 19 Dec 2023 16:33]
