Nigel Hamer, Secretary to the Swansea City Supporters' Trust Board has today confirmed that current Trust Vice Chairman, Will Morris will be taking up the vacant position of Trust Chairman with immediate effect. Will continues as an Associate Director of the Club.
Commenting on his appointment as Chairman Will said. 'I propose to make a full statement to Trust Members in the coming days. In the meantime however I just wanted to say that I am privileged to take on this role and together with the rest of the Trust Board will always look to work in the long term interest of the Football Club and its fans. The ongoing discussions with the Majority Shareholders over the proposed sale of some of the Trust's shareholding is something I would want to see concluded as soon as possible and I can again re-assure you that if any of the terms of the final offer differ from the detail as previously provided for the members consultation, then we will conduct a further consultation with you, our members.'
Nigel Hamer also confirmed that Alan Lewis will take up the Vice Chairman's position vacated by Will Morris. [Post edited 17 Nov 2017 16:06]

Okay Darren I promise not to get on the wrong side of you and let your tyres down in the Liberty car park 😜. Seriously, thank you all for your comments this evening. Note has been taken of them. I’m hoping to progress a number of issues asap (and I don’t mean two months time !). |
My pleasure Will.  |  |

Good luck Will, I hope you make a real success of this new era for the Trust.
Now the niceties are out of the way, could you please explain to me why there are any negotiation with the Americans at all? As a Trust member you put a deal in front of me, a deal that had been struck between the Americans and the Trust Board. You asked me to vote on THAT deal. Once the vote came through in favour of accepting it should have been a case of signing the paperwork, NOT further negotiation.
I voted on a detailed proposal, you have no mandate from me to discuss anything other than that deal exactly as it was presented.
I urge you to immediately break off talks with the Americans who have consistently shown they cannot be trusted as far as a man with broken arms could throw them. An immediate vote should b staged on now taking this legal - Lisa is correct when she says the Americans have shown they have not negotiated in good faith. And that in itself, coupled with our efforts to reach agreement and the recent Blackpool verdict, strengthens what was already said to be a strong legal case.
At the very least you should be calling an immediate Fans Forum to discuss current events and explain why, more than 3 months after a vote was staged, no deal is complete and instead the Americans are laughing at the fans whilst the club lurches from one crisis to the next on their watch.

I have a question if you don't mind Will.
You are also an associate director of the club itself, as is Dave Morgan. Do you both hold similar views on the direction our club is taking, and also the significance/importance of the role of the trust? |  | | |

Good post. Will seems more keen on the building bridges philosophy though with little intent on ruffling any feathers. Instead, he should be positive about doing exactly that but then that will need a new approach completely, binning the favoured way of cwtching up to the directors, new and old. |  |

I think the days of compromise, over-diplomacy, compliance and kid-gloves should be over. SCST is dealing with the lowest of the low that have all shown zero-goodwill, absolute contempt, disrespect and treachery! Treat absolute sh#t like the absolute sh#t it is, time to pull the chain and flush them all down the pan and right into the sewer where thay all belong. |  |

I'll go a little further and ask, is this appointment some kind of sick joke? | | | |

Just to assure all that have posted on here I hold an associate director title. In reality it is just an honorary title and holds no power and privileges whatsoever. With reference to earlier postings I can confirm that I am no nodding dog, I don’t get fed prawn sandwiches every week and attended 7 away games in the last two seasons. You will note that I intend to make a full statement next week. In the interim I wish to state that as Phil’s Vice Chair, I fully acknowledge the immense contribution he has made during his time as Chairman which will be included in my statement . Needless to say I have told him so privately. I welcome frank and open dialogue with all fans as I strive to make the Trust a more communicative organisation. |
Will,
A few things,
How long have you sat on the Trust Board?
How come are you an Associate Director of the Football Club?
And the rest of the Trust, WTF are you now doing appointing an Associate Director of the Club itself as Trust Chairman??
Has the last few years MEANT NOTHING to you? Has the Cooze saga and all the conflicts of interest and internal governance just conveniently slipped your mind???
An Associate Director of the Football Club as Trust Chairman?
Can you not score a more top corner of a facking own goal here or what???
Will,
Do you sit in the Directors Box?
And I'm sorry, please, for the sake of the fans who are genuinely trying to find any sort of connection once more between themselves and the Trust, do not take up this position or you'll finish the Trust for good.
Think quick and hard over this. Not now. No chance!! |  |

Thing is Mon, he holds the same position within the club as Dave Morgan. I spoke with Dave after the trust put the spokes on the first deal with Noels and whoever, and his words to me were "Who do the trust think they are! They are not shareholders! They are simply custodians of the shares bought by the fans!" To me that equated to "fvck the fans and the shares they hold!" Now then, seeing as Will holds the same position as Dave Morgan on the board of SCFC, i'd like to know how far apart their views are! They should be beyond massive, but it sure don't sound like it!  | | | |

There has always been a certain disdain at the highest levels of the club for the Trust. I well remember the contempt Jenkins had for them more than a decade ago. In hindsight recent events should have been seen coming. |  |

Associate Director in Will's case is basically the observer in the board room for the Trust, without voting rights.
He's there as a Trust rep. |  | | |

He's been an Associate Director for years. He'd count the old Board as years long chums, and I've nothing against that per se but not for the Trust Director, not after everything that's gone on and recent events.
And fack me, you backing the wrong horse again. This is pathetic. | |

Past chairmen of our club have a dislike for fans who become too strong in numbers.
The requests for a supporters bar/venue has always fallen on deaf ears.I don't believe it's a dislike of the Trust, but a dislike of fans becoming a strong force. |  | | |

Stumbling from one nightmare to another, you can quite clearly tell from his bland, almost say fook all remarks earlier which camp Will is in. He's in the 'let's get this through as calmly as possible' camp that's for certain. Pathetic, and another nail in the coffin. | |

How long has he had that Title.
Who gave it to him and why?
He's named on the Club Board alongside Tenko, there's no mention of anything to do with the Trust next to his name.
Did Jenkins or Dineen or Morgan give him this Directorship? | |

Mate he's a Club man, he's not a Trust man and I mean no personal offence here but this is the sort of reason Cooze was allowed his dual remuneration roles and why the Trust are clearly bent over a barrel. | |
