Swans Trust Emergency Meeting Thurs 16:58 - Apr 13 with 42317 viewsLord_Bony

You are no doubt aware that a consortium of US investors, led by Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan, is interested in acquiring shares in Swansea City football club. There is more information on this in a couple of articles on our website - click to read.

The articles outline the current position as we see it, and there is, of course interest in this ongoing situation across the whole 'Jackarmy' family. We are particularly grateful for your support as a full member of the Supporters Trust and have arranged, at very short notice, a meeting at the Liberty Stadium tomorrow evening (Thursday 14 April) at 7.30. It is difficult to say at this stage if there will be any additional information available at that meeting but we felt it would be an opportunity for members of the Trust Board to bring you up to speed and address any points/questions you may have.

The short notice and location of the meeting will, we appreciate, mean it will be difficult for many of you to attend and we will aim to ensure that you are kept up to date with developments both through the Trust's website and these emails.

Thanks for your support.

Its all getting more and more confusing and all shrouded in mystery.

Why is there such secrecy on who is selling their shareholding and who isn't? Am I missing something?


It will come out soon enough. The share holdings are reported annually (including beneficial ownership) so can't be fudged.

This has got to be related to the point around OTH Ltd resignation doesn't it? I wouldn't be in any rush to pull my shares out if I had to split the proceeds 50/50. Would drag it out as long as I could.

Indeed!

I think every shareholder now needs to be treated as a separate entity rather than putting names together, but who knows.

If people like JVZ sell all theur shares I hope they'll be buying a season ticket and there'll be no more sitting in the directors box of getting hundreds of tickets for foreign fans whenever he feels like.

The guy initially put a substantial amount of his own money to buy shares many a year back at a time when there was hardly a stampede to do do. I'll give him credit for that! But?.....

Once he sells all his shares and has no boardroom position then he IMO then becomes an ordinary fan and will be no different from the rest of us. If he gets perks, privileges and influence after his share sell off then IMO it will be unjust.

Oh and if this take-over becomes a disaster then he (others!) will go down in club history/supporter folklore as not so much the 'super-fan' that he's portrayed but more of a Judas/Traitor!

Argus!

I completely agree.


He says he's being retained to work for the club in some marketing capacity so no doubt he intends to remain on the gravy train.

Where would we be without his utterly unprofessional jibes at LVG or JJS. That's the sort of thing that sets us apart and endears us to everyone mun. Worth its weight in gold from a marketing standpoint that is. Learnt everything he knows from Gerald Ratner.

Probably a ferdy. I see BBC repoting Jenkins and Dineen to keep some shares and stay on, Katzen/Croisy; Davies, Zwed to sell; Louisa presumably to sell ; they're not clear re MM, but says OTH to retain a small holding.

Ha ha - I see it's further up the thread. I was reading backwards! Should have guessed that's what resurrected this.

People wonder why the media seem to turn on us so quickly. Pretty much every pundit and reporter relishes the thought that we may trip up. I'm not talking about the Cardiff based media here, but the national media. And that's despite our 'model ownership' structure [sic].

I never wonder why even slightly.

Pehaps his highly trained and experienced team can rescue him with a PR offensive. Maybe even via the LCD advertising boards...

The BBC have managed to write a report that can't possibly be wrong. Presumably with the intention of not being able to be wrong.

Every shareholder may or may not sell or keep some or all shares. Searing insight.

I m rally not getting how Huw Jenkins can sign the H.O.T on behalf of all the shareholders??

I mean is that legal or ethical without a shareholders meeting taking place first and full disclosure of the deal?

Maybe such a meeting did take place on the quiet.

Either way Huw Cooze and the Trust have been stabbed in the back...they are there to protect the club and represent the fans...pretty much unique in football these days.

They were blatantly usurped and kept in the dark while a deal was drawn up.

Somethings not right there...

Still dont get how the Heads of Terms were able.to be signed.without the knowledge of.The Trust..there should have been a share holders meeting at the time.
