So again, where has all the money gone?!
If they say Fairwood and landore then i will it ram it right up their rectums, each and every one of those money grabbing barstewards who have taken our club and turned it into a money making machine for themselves.
Hang your head in shame Huw, Dinnen,Katzen,Martin M, JVZ and any other clown i have forgotten. |  |

If only we had some sort of share holders on the board to represent the fans that could give us a clear indication of what is going on......... | | | |

That table doesn't take into account expensive free transfers (if that makes sense) like Ayew, Fabianski and Gomis.
But even so... |  | | |

A bit of a skewed table because we were 13th on spending in last five years and 12th highest in sales income. There is no way we are going to be able to spend hugely compared to the big teams.
So we spent more than WBA and Stoke who have been our peers in recent years and significantly more than Bournemouth. Then about £20m less than Leicester, Sunderland and Palace. Southampton spending almost twice what we spend somewhat knocks their academy being a supply line out of the window.
The table does not include Newcastle, Villa and others who spent a lot over the years.
Doesn't really show we haven't spent but does show we have sold rather well compared to others. |  |

According to this then Hull have invested over £55M more in their squad over the last 5 years.
£82M difference between us and Sunderland.......

Well...
Well with the 'free' transfer signings, that makes us slightly down on transfers. Now also add in that 80% of our incomings go on wages and there isn't much left. Along with that the training centres, the odd dividend and paying off managers...
By my calculations, that leaves us about even. So as much as I'd love to use this as stock to beat off the previous board, I don't think we can? |  |

Lets also not forget the amazing deal Huw struck with our managers agent for reasons only he knows, where we gifted him a chunky % of any profit from player sales, even those nothing to do with him or brought in way before he got here. Who knows what other bizarre deals he has struck with other agents to dwindle away any income. |  |

F you for being sensible.
Get with the program and drink the koolade already. Failing that, go out and get a subscription to the daily mail like the Tim foil hat brigade on here.
Our finances are fecked because we rely on 1 revenue stream - the gap has o be bridged through balancing transfer deals. A very precarious model. [Post edited 1 Jan 2017 7:53]

It's only a disgrace if the club was making a lots of profit over that period and was sitting on lots of cash in the bank. If our accounts show that we genuinely don't have the money, then there's not much we can do. |  | | |

And the ridiculously high wages relative to income. And the money peed up the wall on compensation. It looks like we needed to sell to just fund operating costs. That's where the small ground and p1ss poor commercial department has hurt us.
I would like to see how much has gone to the owners though. I know people are rightly p1ssed off with them, but surely there's only so much can be 'lost' to printing contracts and the like. We still have legal requirements to show all that in the accounts. |  | | |

It's been said for sometime including by HJ but it doesn't fit the agenda of the" people in the know".
I don't think our recruitment on or off the field has been sensible, and the cheap option may turn out to be a massive error and cost a lot more in the long term. I don't think people have any real idea of what has been going on in the boardroom and the truth will come out with the accounts.
The reality is it was their money invested and their business, they took the plaudits they have to now accept the brickbats if they can't show they we're running the business in the best way for the long time security of the club.
The "our club" rubbish was just that, we are customers of a multi million pound business, fans of a money making machine like all fans we believe it is our club and as Wimbledon showed you can just be moved on the whim of an owner. | |

Developing players in Swansea, is seen as a tool to get money, not as a tool to reinvest and make the Swansea squad stronger. Swansea have had succes with this in the short run (made money) but in the longer term it will allways be a failure.
Goalkeeper
Swansea has a great goalkeeper in Fab.
Defense
Swansea have traditional had a outstanding leader in defense with Williams. When the club knew for a long time (many years) Williams wanted to try something new, why not use 1-2 years to find a prober replacement before he leave. A good general never comes cheap. Spent 8-12 million on a new one.
Midfield
Swansea has allways lacked a real quality defensive midfielder in PL. A good strong defender linking up with the defense - and a player who could counter the fast counterattacks of the other teams. Swansea desperate need an experinced general on the midfield - with a brain. Dyer and Britton are over the hill, replace them with new players, don't just renew their contracts.
Attack
Swansea have beside Bony have never had a quality striker in PL. And Swansea have never had a capable backup striker. [Post edited 1 Jan 2017 11:28]

Defence comments spot on
Midfield ask hj why Kante and Allen were not seen as viable signings
Forwards maybe if so much money was not wasted on compo, dividends etc the club could have afforded better back ups |  |

I dont mind being bottom of this table, it shows we are a well run club. I would rather break even in Championship than be in debt of £50 million plus in Premier League.
We have had a good run of buying low and selling high and we are falling short of late. None of us could have imagined six seasons in Premier League and still maybe more if Clements can get the confidence back in the squad and a couple of welcome additions. |  |
