Regarding the date Coleman took up his responsibilities it is cut and dry and not up for debate. The official statement from the club at the time he was announced as chairman with the last paragraph stating the he was taking up his responsibilities with immediate effect.

Coleman has to realise that Swansea City is not soccer club but a football club with worldwide support. He only has to fart and people throughout the world will be analysing what he had for breakfast, many more intelligent and with a greater knowledge of football. He needs to cut out the BS, passing the buck and trying to fool supporters, we are not mugs.

Yesterday he said this.

“These accounts represent the financial year prior to my appointment as chairman and much of the budget had already been set for the 2023-24 financial year before my arrival in Swansea in August 2023”

But according to the club and elsewhere it was May 2023.

Swansea City is delighted to announce the appointment of Andy Coleman, a seasoned, successful business executive, as the club’s new chairman. Coleman has also acquired a significant shareholding in the football club – which has been approved by the EFL – and will act as operating partner of the club’s majority ownership group.

Most of the budget had been set, so not all of it and it hadn't been finalised or he would have said the budget had been set before my arrival. You would think that the chairman signs off the club budget and it was while Coleman was in charge, so nowhere to hide.

I’m not sure the budget had been set in April 😂 That’s what he was saying. It’s another bag of rotten worms. When will these people, and I include many in this understand the fans are not idiots.

He was made chairman on May 5th, the last fixture was May 8th. Does he really expect us to believe the budget for the following season was decided before the end of the season and we knew what league we were in. Really is underestimating the intelligence of the supporters.

I hope no money swapped hands between The Trust & Kieran Maguire for this meeting or a certain poster will be all over this about Trust money going across the boarder to those pesky English.

I wish the Trust could also do an interview with the Swansea CFO. That could be more valuable?

When did Winter leave Swansea?
Were there six weeks when we were paying for an executive chairman and CEO - not cheap.

And do we have a start date for Gude? Keith reported on his move in the Summer but the club did not make it official until a few months later.

The leaving of Winter was not announced. I suspect they gave Coleman a couple of month in the off season to bed in and left things with Winter to run down his notice period normally 3 months or so.

Logically Winter would see out the accountancy period of 31 July 2022 to 31 July 2023.

you may wish to edit your message - the club announced Winter's departure on 24th June. Please see link below:

https://www.swanseacity.com/taxonomy/term/2320

Coleman tweeted about Winter and Marsh on 7th May - the speculation was driven by an article in The Athletic in April 2023.

For reference - Winter started work at Blackpool 31st July.

31 July. That looks coincidental . The exact date of the accounting period at Swansea. Perhaps his notice was until 31 July at which point he could join Blackpool. It is a not i very important to me.

If it is not very important to you then please can I ask you not to post inaccurate information about the club or individuals. The club announced his departure on the 24th June. They issued a statement.

There may be an infinite number of ways to look in to the numbers produced in this article, a couple stand out for me.

Matchday income is way lower now than in 2010. About 30% lower. So much for the business acumen since change of ownership or just the difference in supporters following a team on the up v a team on the slide ?

Since 2016 player sales profits are around £160,000,000 a staggering amount of money to take in for a club making a loss most years.

Yes, on May 5th

"Coleman begins his responsibilities with immediate effect and everyone at the club welcomes him and his family to SA1."

So are we to believe that he would not at least view, and give the ok, to a budget for the season that he would be totally in charge of?

Why was Coleman choosing a manager in the summer ?
Why did he appoint Paul Watson that summer as well ?
Why was he Chairman when Russell Martin left and he made a statement personally two hours afterwards ?

Shouldn’t that have been the previous Chairman, who I can assure you was nowhere near the club in the summer. If you want I’ll give you his phone number and you can ask him. He won’t mind I’ve checked.

Bedding in ?

There’s loads of other damning moments, all we ask for is transparency.

Not conjecture.

Watson was first linked to the club in April. [The Athletic]

29th April

Maybe Coleman didn’t care because he wasn’t Chairman. And just allowed Watson in on a large salary. Whenever Watson was linked, I think we did as well from memory he has to be rubber stamped. Possibly by the man calling the shots ?

Thing is, people can’t say he is calling the shots and then say he wasn’t in the summer. That’s like me saying Coleman was involved in Swansea from August 2022.

Oh hang on …
