The present company that was granted a fifty year lease to run the Liberty Stadium on behalf of Swansea City, the Ospreys, and the Council is Swansea City Management Company reg number 05176687.
Three of the directors representing Swansea City in this Company are Huw Jenkins,Chris Pearlman (appointed 19/12/16) and a certain L A John Dineen!
The current set up of the Company appears to be very much in Swansea City's favour.
Of gate receipts collected by the Company of £5.130380 in the last published accounts to 31st May 2015, the total charged by the company amounted to only £306468. Even with an apparent charge to the Premier Club of £340112 ,these are not substantial charges considering the Company has to pay for the upkeep of the ground and facilities etc. The Company also receives income from the Ospreys of £73695 on collected turnover of £608396.(Incidentally this amount was erroneously shown in note 26 of the Association accounts by Deloittes as being the football clubs payment when in the Stadium accounts it is shown as Osprey gate collection receipts.)
My point is that the Stadium Management Company represents a very good deal at present forSwansea city Football Club.
Is this agreement now going to be scuppered (and under the terms of the lease it can only be done with the agreement of the Club,the Ospreys and the Council) , because we are represented by Dineen,Jenkins and Pearlman. We know the first two have put their own financial interests in front of the club's by their deviousness over the share deal.Pearlman obviously will have the American investors best interests foremost.
Are we being stitched up on this. |  |

My first question would be around the SCMC - do their AoA insist that directors should hold a certain position within it's organisation? Pre-sale there would be no issue with Dineen being in the position that he is, post sale now he isn't a director so why does he still hold this position???
Also - what remuneration do directors of said company receive? [Post edited 20 Feb 2017 11:01]

Unfortunately they are still chairman and vice chairman and shareholders so it's not surprising that they are still representing the club particularly with discussions over the stadium because they know everyone involved.
I'm not defending the situation but it is what it is. We're still a very long way from seeing the back of them. |  |

As the op said yesterday, the Trust needs to be all over this, representing the long term interests of the club and its supporters and exhorting the council to lock that interest in. |  |

Absolutely spot on 100%
Message to Swansea City Council/Councillors: don't trust any of the sell out directors of SCFC and please protect our future interests
Message to Ospreys reps on the stadium company: don't trust any of the sell out directors of SCFC
Message to the Trust board: you already know not to trust them so please deal directly with the Council to ensure that safeguards are in place to stop selling the stadium on to some other company in future. Preferably obtain some sort of clause which gives the Trust a veto on any future sale. |  |

If the trust are effective, proactive and independent then there should be very little to fear. Unfortunately the track record on each of these traits is not good.
They need to think outside the box. They are shareholders of the club. They don't work for the club. There are multiple routes to achieving the Trust's aim that doesn't necessarily involve the Club route.
In the above example, there is nothing stopping the Trust to engage the council directly to lobby them to include terms in any agreement with the club that addresses the Trust's objectives (e.g. restricted usage of land for sporting purposes, restricted usage of debt for development, restricted usage of 3rd party sub-letting as a way to extract cash from the club by the americans etc)
Unfortunately it still feels like the Trust prefers to influence from within - that hasn't worked out too well so far. |  |

How do they revalue the lease for borrowing purposes?
If for example they agree £1m a year for 50 years - how would this be valued? Some DCF basis?
How could they then revalue it? What rationale do they have to give for revaluing upwards? Do auditors have to approve this revaluation or just get it approved by a bank who will provide the finance? | | | |

They clearly have enough because they are calling the shots and not including the trust.
Are the Trust involved in these discussions is one question, and by that I mean ALL of them. |  |

Notrac, looking at the accounts the SCMC has turnover of £3.1m which I assume includes the £306,468, £340,112 and £73,695 you have explained in OP. Do you know what is the difference between these amounts and the £3.1m.
Is this catering pre match and at half time. Plus Rock concerts such as Kings of Leon? Noting that Administrative expenses total £2.28m so profit before tax was only £54k. So if it is catering then profit margin on it looks quite low after staffing the bars etc.
I assume again Club, Council and Ospreys share the £54k. So does council only currently get circa £18k before tax(£54k /3) per annum?
The council in the SWEP article seem to be saying that deal will be worth £250,000 to £750,000 per annum to taxpayer. Which is far in excess of £18k?
I suppose from the club's point of view - it will be weighing up how much will it pay on the the new lease compared to £306,468? Hence if it pays £500,000 per year - can it generate at least £200k in additional revenue to be better off - but then again the catering seems a very low profit margin stream.
You would also think club then has full responsibility for future repairs and maintenance if it takes on lease - as acccounts seem to indicate SCMC is responsible for this - so would be currently shared by Club, Council and Ospreys.
The club does seem to have a very good deal at the moment and hopefully the business case in due course will come out - on why club thinks it is better to enter into a new lease.
The Council seems to think it is going to be better off and likewise the Club?
In a zero sum game can all parties be better off? Unless commercial revenue does take off but why should it after so many years in Premier League? | | | |

I thought the same thing on the 3 million turnover versus the OP's figures. I cant see how it all adds up.
Of the 3 million turnover, how much is naming rights from 'Liberty properties' ?
I see Christine Richards is gushing in her thanks to them in the 2016 annual report
https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/05176687/filing-history
The report seems to say that the naming rights ended at the end of the 2016 financial year?
If so, under what agreement is it still named 'the Liberty Stadium' ? |  |

Well we all know why we are a shambles commercially, given that we've got the aching fûcking simpleton Dineen in charge.
Given that it appears Pearlman has more than one braincell, then there's every chance we could improve our dire commercial operation. [Post edited 21 Feb 2017 18:05]

Red herring.
Some of these guys are Investment managers and the like, Kaplan especially must have access to financing that wouldnt depend on the value of the Liberty Stadium lease. Even if they want to suck money out of the club via debt financing or other means, they dont need the Liberty lease to do it IMHO. | |

Maybe because you own the lease you can now present a business case to a bank that your cash flows will increase - as then receive 100% of all income - less increased lease costs (the £250,00 to £750,000 that the council is talking about).
Hence your borrowing capacity could increase - if bank believes your net increased cashflow forecasts. | | | |
