And the resignation of Jenkins and to get a full understanding of the strategy on survival.
Call a meeting with your members if you feel you need to do this officially or just make a public statement to this affect and take it to the press.
The time has come now to show our strength and to make it clear that not only are we a significant shareholder but we're also many thousands of lifelong supporters.
No more pussy footing around. Do this before the next meeting with them. |  |

The Trust alone cannot save the club from relegation.
The Trust has to take the opportunity this weekend to establish whether or not they can form a relationship with the new owners.
Part of this new relationship must involve the cessation of Jenkins as M.D.Obviously after what has happened it would be hypocritical and unacceptable to work with him in the future.
To save us from relegation we must reach ,in my opinion, at least seventeen points by the end of December.This is possible if we pick the right team from our current squad of players, as our fixtures in December ,particularly at home, are a lot easier than those to date.
In the short term the Trust must emphasise the importance of once again involving Alan Curtis as right hand man to our new manager.His experience proved vital last year and should be used again.How to persuade the new owners and Bradley to accept this without them losing face will be critical.
Also the Trust must persuade the new owners to immediately look for those players who would strengthen our squad in January.Plans must not be left too late.Under no circumstances should Jenkins be allowed anywhere near this issue.Even if they do not want to risk any more of their own money, there is still the additional £40m of TV money to use.
It must be explained to them that this season must now only be one of survival.The time to discuss commercial revenues and ground purchase must be left on the table for the present.
Also the Trust must explore with them the worst scenario of relegation.Would they look to immediately get their money back? The Trust need to know their intentions on this issue to plan accordingly.
Therefore in my opinion the Trusts meeting this weekend with the new owners is essential.
Hopefully a new respect can be established between the two parties for the future good of Swansea City football club. [Post edited 1 Nov 2016 15:03]

My thoughts almost to a tee.
Andrew, I am fearing you are taking a stand-backish approach and this I fear is critically wrong.
We need to go into this meeting with a list of items/demands to discuss. One of them being the removal of Jenkins. Now I know he has been asked to go which is a mistake in my opinion and why we need a statement BEFORE the meeting of our intent.
Please don’t be guilty of not listening to the supporters concerns again or be defensive in replying to us. [Post edited 1 Nov 2016 16:37]

Yeah I agree with anyone that has this view too but to demand something from the Trust when you're not a member is a bit f*cking thick.
Oh and you f*ck off too. |  |

Please can you just delete Darran's posts and this oner here. I'm pretty sure it's obvious to anyone reading this thread it's constructive and informative to most posters. It doesn't need to degenerate in the usual way when this guy and similar others get involved.
Come on mun. Moderate properly. Keep this to topic. | |

Trusts represent and serve their members.
Non-members "demanding" action therefore have about as much relevance as me demanding the Minogue sisters get nekkid and mud wrestle. Nice thought but sadly not going to happen... |  |

This isn't the main talking point here so please don't derail important discussion.

So join then. Change the attitude and delivery method, could be a useful asset for the Trust.
Of course that would then mean you'd be judged in the same way you judge the Trust at the moment... | |

I'll tell you what you could have done ....you could have made sure that a man who was spending so much time at the club that he was earning 40k had his ear to the ground and his finger on the pulse especially after the first aborted takeover...Feckin Hola my arse | | | |

It's not that the demand is necessarily the worst idea, just I don't think it would work the way he thinks.
Most fans simply couldn't give a s*** what happens behind the scenes. You've fans who see the team struggled, want Prem football. Trust schmust.
Trust come out demanding showdown talks - what do the Septics do?
A) Come out and agree, looking weak in the process admitting they've done wrong. NOT going to happen.
B) Go on a PR campaign, championing their "investment" ( and don't overestimate the numbers who care not that is incorrect ). State they are in early days, results have disappointing, all need to pull together yadda yadda. Tough games to start the season... will work hard in transfer window... Boob is a great man manager, needs time to get his excellent ideas over...
The problem, as in anything, with going on a "full guns blazing" war strategy usually doesn't work because it's almost always pretty predictable and thus easy to deflect. Softly softly catchee monkey as the phrase goes.
Can't see events concluding short term. it's a long term battle - and that's what the Trust is all about is it not, the long term of the club? | |

It certainly is. Bluey seems to have a lot invested in these kind of Threads, so it would follow that he would have a membership by his own measure.
I think it's great if he does. He should really.

No, I'd not want to join your Trust. it would just feel odd being part of a Trust when I'd want you to get smashed next time we play.
As identified by someone else, debate on a forum is vastly different. It's easier for me to comment on forums because I'm more emotionally detached than you guys. As for why I post here in a more general sense, it's because you've got some decent posters, some good people despite those extra fingers and far below average personal hygiene. | |

So the cognitive dissonance you fear totally disappears when dispensing advice on what the Trust, or any other supporter who wishing nothing for the best for the club should do?
It's a stranger viewpoint than berating a Swansea City supporter for not joining, yet having an opinion.
You should join. It's only £10. You might like it. | |

Au contraire.
I'm not adopting a stance of telling the Trust what they should do nor berating them when they don't appear to be doing it. Neither am I posting numerous threads that deliberate or not could destabilise the Trust at a point you need it the most.
Chris is passionate, often over the top. If he works on his delivery, thinks before posting a bit more he'd almost certainly be an asset for your Trust. Your Trust is you best asset right now if a "fight" with the Septics is what's going to happen - except it won't be a "fight", a one off event, it would be a "war" over the long term. | |
