When HJ was made chairman it was on the back of a tissue of lies from a plethora of Swansea owners. A flawed agenda to say one thing and then do another, divide and conquer the clubs fans, then set them against each other to conceal their real money making agenda ( McClure & Hamer ) continually lie and disorientate supporters about finances ( Lewis ) Asset strip the club of its prime capita ( Petty )
Or are certain fans being too demanding and need to be more patient whilst the best interests of the club and the community are discussed and planned ?
It seems there are two very hard talking camps forming on this subject.

Still too early to say, we have the next week to bring some quality in. If we don't strengthen our squad for the coming season, then the boards personal gain has come before the football club, this includes Jenkins and Dineen.
Stricly speaking we have until August 31st but like Fred Pontin used to say you have to "book early " to avoid dissapointment.
The chances of a marque signing especially a striker seem to be diminishing by the day. Whilst we all hope for the return of Bony ....how can we be assured it will be a success this time around, given how Franco may want us to play?
TIme will tell if this "takeover" and all it brings is about the club or personal gain

Calm it down...Hardly been any signings so far in the PL, the problem is that the top sides are going for the average ST's that we usually would go for due to the ridiculous fees eg Jansen to spurs and Ben Yedder to Arsenal

Interesting comments about previous regimes though SIlver Shield/Ninth floor never hid their motives that were the football club was a means to an end. Steve Hamer a fan and brother of Nigel of the trust "sold" investment opportunity to city contacts he had based on the future Morfa development. This all went belly up when the council at the time inisted the club pay for the building of the new stadium if they also waned the benefit of the commercial development at Morfa this was not what McClure had had in mind or been sold. Subsequently the council paid for the stadium and ANother commercial developer benefited from the retail development.This clever action by yet another astute set of Swansea councillors trigged off the train of events with Ninth Floor leaving as the prize was no longer available selling the club to Mike Lewis for £1 who thought he could find a buyer and keep the club going...whilst maybe making a quick buck himself but who ended up find Petty and the rest is history. what is a shame is that we have yet again sold out our club to persons who have no affiliation to the club apart from seeing its money making potential...What annoys me is our so called saviours telling us that this will be the best for the future of the club.
I am sure the previous board could have found funds for investment into the club if only not taking a dividend and reinvesting this ...especially once their original investments had been recovered.
In Huw we trust?

Then you didn't know these scoundrels as well as some I know did. Just because Nigel is a good guy it doesn't transfer. They were agenda ridden people who were so devious and untrustworthy in their motives the council wouldn't do business with them is the truth, and proof of that is the fact as soon as the trust and new board formed the new ground went ahead. Hamer is playing the same nonsense at Brotaol Rovers now, watch that go belly up, the fans there already gave him sussed.

My point wasn't about HJ and his mistakes though, he has done sterling work for great reward, not that he knew it at the time- it is about what he is fronting now and what that actually is and the comparison to what we have seen before.

It's always baffled me as to the amount of criticism he gets as a chairman. He's a fantastic chairman, and a big plus of the takeover is that he's going to continue on as chairman. He's been such a vital figure in our success far, and despite criticism recently with a limited budget he's done a very good job. People talk about the consistency of managers like Allardyce and Pulis for there consistency of keeping clubs in the division, but neither can boast the record Huw Jenkins has as a chairman with limited resources of never finishing lower than 12th in his five seasons in the Premier League. Is he going to make mistakes? Of course, nobody can get every transfer right and every club is going to face difficult challenges along the way that you can't precedent for. Are we going to sign everyone? No of course not, we haven't got a blank cheque book and he's going to have to make decisions of where to prioritise spending. He is very much in charge of transfers under our current model, and he's the ideal person for the job. He's overseen a net transfer profit despite three promotions, and been heavily involved in the building of a team that's consolidated our job as a Premier League club. I'm glad that our new owners aren't as reactionary and fickle as some of support when it comes to entrusting their support in one of the best in the business.
The way i see it now is ,If Franco said to Huw we need a decent striker ,Huw says i'll scout one out for you but' it's gonna cost a fair wedge so i'll have to ask the the ones who now hold the purse strings , if thy say no and that's more than likely ,no it is we'll have to lower our sights rather lower ,there's a few in the bargain basement you can have , Just like Villa loads of signings last season but no quality ,The future is not bright but i hope i'm way off the mark

Well you talk about Villa, but last summer they spent £52 million. Investment doesn't guarantee anything, and it goes to show how well we've performed considering the financial restrictions on the club.
It seems I've got a lot more faith on the new owners then most on here. I do think they're in it simply to make money, but they'll make a killing if they keep us up for three years and sell us on when the new TV rights deal comes through. We'll have money to spend, given the current TV rights deal and the wages freed up with players going and I think they're going to want to put a statement of intent with the signing of a striker. I'd be surprised if we didn't spend at least £10 million on a striker.

With £10m on a striker being a statement of intent of what exactly?
At some point it seems like Huw went from being an excellent chairman to a poor director of football. That's when the issues started IMO.
It's one thing being able to run a football club in terms of budgets, negotiations, appointing managers/insisting on a philosophy etc but quite another to be able to identify players who will come into our side.
You can probably safely assume that a fair chunk of our signings over the last couple of years have been made by Huw as many of the players have barely had a look in.

Aint gonna happen Daps 10 mill for 2 or 3 players maybe, but for one no chance in my opinion.

People were talking of Joe Allen being this much needed statement of intent at £13 million. Prioritising that money on a good striker to complete what is a good team is what's needed and I have confidence that's what we'll do. I don't think we're in a position to complain about that sort of money being spent on an individual player, it's good money.

Have you noticed the price of average players has rocketed since this so-called golden egg has been laid , 10 mill for a decent striker not a hope in hell

Reckon they're eyeing up Chadli to convert him to striker. Could work. Has an eye for goal and at 1.89 has a physical presence.

If we only have £10m to spend on a striker so be it. But it's not a statement of intent. The two just don't go together do they? Spending £13m on a defensive midfielder when we don't have a striker is a statement of stupidity imo.

Well we'll see. I think he'll bring in someone who'll round the squad of nicely, and somebody of the calibre of the rest of the squad and I think he'll be given over £10 million to do it if necessary. I mean the people moaning that this wouldn't be a statement of intent, what exactly do you expect us to spend on a striker?
