Protest 17 WBA 18:03 - May 14 with 18550 views | RedAlert | We are a group of long term Swansea City supporters who will protest at the continued tenure of Huw Jenkins at the final game of this years premier league season. Certain non visible actions have been undertaken this season to make Jenkins and his cohorts aware we are unhappy at their continued presence at the club. The reasoning for this is the sale of the club in 2016. 1. The non inclusion of the trust in negotiations. This is because a previous a bidder for our club was vetted by the trust and vetoed resulting in a non sale. The trust were not included in the actual sale some months later obviously due to the original veto. 2. This is because certain board members were to benefit to the tune of some millions and the inclusion of the trust in the sale may have prevented this windfall. Aside to this documentation is in existence that states this was not in agreement and any attempt to do so would be viewed negatively. 3. The non investment in to the club since the unamed American consortium was announced as owners. Yes there are a variety of front men, but these are not the actual owners of SCFC. Their continued payroll of Huw Jenkins is obviously their way of keeping the fans at arms length. ACTION To prevent further supporters action we now call upon the current front men in America to remove Huw Jenkins from any role at Swansea City in the week leading up to the WBA home game. If this is not apparent at the conclusion of the game we urge all supporters with Swansea City at heart to walk on to the pitch ( much the same as supporters did when the club reached the play off final v Reading, none were arrested and nobody was banned from the ground ) this is clearly a club precedent which enables supporters to do the same thing on Sunday. The protest we ask is lawful with supporters vocalising their discontent. We do not expect any steward employed by the club to prevent this and request they step aside to enable peaceful protest. Please be advised it is your democratic right to do so and you should not be prevented by any person in a democratic country. Yes, there are a variety of laws in relation to this but as stated stated none were activated after the Nottingham Forest playoff semi final. We expect the same on Sunday. Irrespective of your view we expect this to also to be enabled by those Swansea City supporters content with the current strategy in place for our club by these Americans. If needs be you can protest your dislike from the stand. We do not expect or desire any confrontation between fellow Swansea fans. Much has been done this season outside of public view, we now encourage Swansea fans to make the step forwards publicly and protest post game on the pitch as to Huw Jenkins continued tenure at the club. We ( all of us ) are a group of supporters who have always been different, we have always had the clubs best interests at heart. Est 2001. Please bring your voices and banners on Sunday to bring about change at our club. We urged no pitch encroachment until the end of the game and the final whistle. Now is the time. Protest 2017. In the name of your club, to remove the greed in football. We understand the website owner can leave this as a header to this forum and respectfully ask they do so. [Post edited 14 May 2017 18:08]

It certainly seems that way with some of these posts. Of course we're going to celebrte staying up but th club needs to now that the way behaves as didctator of football is only leading us inevitaly to the trap door of relegation. We need a big shake up and a DOF with n international portfolio. Not a cladding and UPVc merchant | |

This is part of the problem. While I don't think a pitch invasion is going to happen, I can sympathise with where Red Alert is coming from. The last thing this season deserves is a celebration. | | | |

Yeah the days of in-house jobs for the boy b#llocks of appointing the opposite of what is sanely required should be consigned to history. Jobs for the fellow U.S boy Bradley appointment Jobs for the boys KOL appointment Jobs for the boys Monk appointment Jobs for the boys Pep Clotet appointment Jobs for the boys Dineen commercial operator appointment Jobs for the boys D.o.F self appointment All this utterly unbefitting/unprofessional stuff for a club of Premier League stature. Its shameful and needlessly poured tens of millions down the drain. Fully behind any protest action(s)! [Post edited 14 May 2017 19:42]

I concur mate, the real Swansea fans who fought to save the club to enable these weak responses in certain cases will be spinning in their graves. Edit - people are a bit dull. [Post edited 14 May 2017 19:40]

I totally agree Tim, but enticing people onto the pitch at the end of the game will only end in celebration and not for the intended purpose! | |

If any proof were needed that Huw's taking the DOF reins from Tutumulu was a disaster just compare the value for money signings from that period and the style of play, European adventure by virtue of course of winning our first ever major trophy . Our playing staff has slowly deteriorated as has our once famous identity and style of play. The Americans need to truly understand this . He could stay on as a figurehead , a frontman if you like but on a muuch reduced salary. | |

I do. From the stands if they wish to do a lap to applaud the fans then it should be returned. A pitch invasion? Nah! | |

It's been said all season. Certain posters know, it's been kept top secret. I expect one will be along soon to tell everyone what a cock I am. | |

It's all about winning over the hearts and minds of the apathetic supporters. I don't think this is really practical given that there'll be a party atmosphere. Flyers should be distributed though congratulating the team and manager while at the same time making the OP's points which are bloody good ones. Bullet points though - not some long winded text that nobody will read. Respect for those fans who are care enough to do something. Easy to criticise from the sidelines like I've just done. | |
