Have you been consulted by the Yanks regarding their supposed offer to "boost" the transfer kitty by adding £10m to it as reported by Herr Wathan?
Assuming it's not the likely ballcocks, how are they proposing to do this? Is it by loaning money to the club therefore putting it in debt to them? If so, what interest rate? Or is it via a larger overdraft? Or are they proposing a new issue of shares which would dilute the Trust shareholding? |  | | |  |

There's posters on here who want £30 million!

No.
I don’t know.
I hadn’t heard about it till this thread. £10m these days gets you about 65% of Sam Clucas. So a relegation escape is now obviously an absolute certainty. |  |

No one has either made a loan to the club or increased equity in the club, or indeed has done anything that could be described as 'boosting' anything.
File under puff piece. |  | | |

Well you can either believe me or believe Chris Wathan.
Your choice.
As an aside, new debt or share issues would be listed on the companies house website, so fill your boots. | | | |

...do you not realize that £30m is the transfer surplus from the summer? All we want as supporters is that money to be put back in. |  |

Lol.
That piece from him was bloody annoying. Careful words, used to make people think that the owners are putting in investment, without actually saying they are, so no fingers can be pointed at his sorry excuse for journalism.
He's not so much a journalist as a PR mouthpiece.
On top of which, telling other clubs we are now going to spend more (they're lining them up after all, aren't they - the medical staff must be overrun with the activity) is simply stupid. From him, and whoever leaked it to him.
It's 20 days into the transfer window and we don't have anyone at the moment that we need. No rush mun. | | | |

Given that there continues to be zero investment in the club, by definition, whatever we spend on transfers is money we have spare. | | | |

Without wanted to state the obvious BUT has the question at least been asked officially?
The Yanks are claiming that their money's being added to the kitty which, if true, should mean the Trust contributes too, right?
Having official confirmation isn't just a from of protection in the future (once they decide that some of the money put in was from their pockets) but it could stop them feeding stories like this to journalists too. | |

Nick - they are not putting any money in.
And they aren't claiming they have, Wathan is intimating they have without actually saying it (since they haven't).
As I said before, you can't slip money in or pretend you have. It's a limited company, subject to the relevant legislation, audit and filing requirements.
Wathan is just a complete and utter sham of a reporter. | | | |

Why would the Americans put any of their own money in at this stage when there is a strong percentage chance of us being in the EFL next season? | | | |
| FAO Swans Trust board members on 20:05 - Jan 20 with 2308 views | harryhpalmer |
that extra £10m is what West Ham still owe us for Ayew...so sounds like that's what they are putting up - you can have him as part of your transfers! | |

Just before the window closes, after we have signed one wannabe premiership player at most. We can prepare ourselves for a press release stating that:
''The manager, coaching staff, and the squad had a lengthy, honest, and sometimes heated discussion regarding the club's current plight. The message that came through from the players was that everyone is very disappointed that some of the performances have not been good enough, and this has not helped our position. But we are grateful that the Manager has now seen fit to give us all the opportunity to rescue our season, and we all feel it should be our responsibility. The fans have been fantastic, and we very much hope they will continue to support us fully through the difficult times ahead'' | | | |

Yep! We should all expect an upcoming PR-initiative that'll fool some of the pro-Jenkins micro-minority into thinking that he and others have been selfless and uber-generous Jack Walker type(s) on a mission to save SCFC from relegation struggle. When? @rseholes like Jenkins and his merry gang have been the ones that have actually caused it!
I for one was not impressed with previous programme notes of his i.e. when he wrote about "We" i.e. describing himself and sell-outs and the £30 million spent on training infrastructure. It was deliberate contrivance presented in a way so that the ill-informed, easily manipulated, naive, gullible, and un-streetwise would wrongly get the impression that he and others had paid for it out of their own pockets Jack Walker style.
I expect a load of upcoming lies, subterfuge, psychological-emotional sleight of hand and a load of downright, shameless bullsh#t!!!!!!! |  |

Harry,
We borrowed against that in last January's window to finance J Ayew, Olsson, Narsingh etc so how can we now use that exact same money again? | |

Or it could be that the £10M was money they were going to syphon off and now they are going to leave it in the kitty for the moment. Hence an "extra £10M has been made available for transfers" without investment or borrowing. |  | | |

I am getting a bit confused one thread asking have the Trust been consulted about the extra 10 million.
And another saying we are not spending a penny.
Which one to believe eh.
My guess is nobody has a clue what is going on. | |
