Why ? 13:01 - Oct 21 with 1995 views | swancity | Has anyone had the decency to explain why ? Why sell our Club without involving our fans group? Why the devious nature of the deal? Just why? Hang your heads in shame guys. You know the score, you know what makes the club tick and yet you chose to write off its proud recent history and tradition of being a club owned by the fans...for the fans You have lined your own pockets. Was it purely greed? Were you receiving legal advice to dictate this course of action? Do tell. Please explain away your disgusting and disgraceful actions. Just why? | |

Why ? on 13:07 - Oct 21 with 1698 views | LeonisGod | I suspect they saw the cracks in the team and wanted out whilst their shares wor worth a premium. They saw the Trust as a possible barrier to them selling quickly as they knew the deal may not have held up to the Trust's level of scrutiny? | | | |

So they sold us out at the first real opportunity. I don't think it's much more complex than that | | | |

They shit themselves during Laudrup's second season. That's when the concerted efforts to sell the club began. | |

Don't kid yourself they were thinking about securing family's futures. It was pure short term financial gain. After the first divvy pay out and nice wages and bonus structure their families were already taken care of. Oh and was a certain director thinking of his family's future when he was getting jiggy? Also were not all greedy and I'm confident there are plenty who wouldn't have sold up in the manner they did. | | | |

They could have done that by selling part of their shares (for less per share, obviously), and kept control within Swansea, thus securing the future of the club. Huw is already on half a million a year, LD - god knows how much, plus all shareholders have had dividends of hundreds of thousands. | |

Surely they were set up for life before selling shares with wages and dividends. Very poor of certain people,I've never had anything against them selling their shares but this f*cking stinks. | |

Yes indeed very valid stuff posted by you there! The dividends and other nice little earners courtesy of SCFC have made them rich anyhow. And? Then there is the status, power, privilege and contacts to big-buinsess and individual's 'director-of-professional-football-club' title brings. Individuals pay £100,000 a year membership fees to exclusive golf clubs like Wentworth to get exactly the same. To make them out to be selfless charitable do-gooders is bulls#it! By proportion of my own wealth I have donated far more to (£1,000 +) SCST and never expected or will have any financial reward out of it. So f#ck them all, I have never heard of any of them putting their own money into the club. Buying shares that can be sold at a latter date for 100's profit is not an act of kindness or charity. | |

Why ? on 19:31 - Oct 21 by Dr_Winston | They shit themselves during Laudrup's second season. That's when the concerted efforts to sell the club began. |
At that time it was explained by Laudrup and Tiramasu what it would take to get the club to a staff that could compete. Laudrup wanted 16 premier players all on 50K plus a week and was moving his squad in that direction. There was a meeting and Laudrup held his ground and later sacked. Garry was brought in and a 2 year plan laid to sell the club. Guidolin was brought in on a contract that tied him to the club until such time the ownership changed. At some point the Trust must have realised the club was up for sale. Money was spent on facilities but the decision to extend the ground woukd never be made under the divestment plan. | | | |

Yes. Because I could have still sold my shares for less admittedly but have secured the future of the club by sacrificing part of that fortune. Half of seven million quid us an amount of money that if invested carefully would keep generations safe and secure. Mind you I'm a firm believer that if Jenkins sold our club purely so his kids could never work and live a life of luxury then I'd say he's sold for the wrong reasons. Why the f*ck should they get away without working like the rest of us??? | |

The difference is, he probably wouldn't have got his £19m as the deal would have been a lot less attractive to the new owners if the trust had 25%. And he is a greedy cnt | | | |
