| Trust Statement 12:11 - May 10 with 12431 views | Joe_bradshaw |
The following statement will be published shortly on the Trust website.
'The Swansea City Supporters' Trust would firstly like to congratulate Huddersfield Town Football Club and its Supporters’ Association on confirming its status in the Premier League for another season, unfortunately for us almost certainly at our expense.
When Swansea City were promoted to the Premier League in 2011, we were similarly unfancied to remain in the division. However, we confounded our critics by playing an exciting brand of football on our way to safety, at the expense of more established Premier League clubs who were on a downward trajectory.
It is with sadness that the Supporters’ Trust notices the parallels between our current situation and that of those clubs relegated seven years ago. As a football club we have lost our footballing way and our footballing identity, making poor, usually reactionary, decisions time and time again. The Swansea Way, for so long a source of considerable pride, has not existed for some time
The Supporters’ Trust has previously urged the majority owners of Swansea City Football Club to implement a full review of the running of the footballing side of the club. We have also previously expressed a lack of confidence in Huw Jenkins and called for his removal as Chairman of our football club. Our concerns were well justified and the view of the Supporters’ Trust remains the same in this regard.
The Supporters’ Trust urges the majority owners to take this opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the last few years and implement the necessary changes to ensure our football club regains its sense of identity. If we fail to do so, there is more chance we will struggle further rather than regroup quickly and challenge to regain the Premier League status we have now almost certainly lost.'
----------------------------
As mentioned in our recent email to members, we will be issuing a statement next week relating to the Trust's shareholding and the next steps.

Seriously the current trust members need to be forcibly removed from their positions and new fans put in place. |
That is the whole point for me.
The best way is to join the Trust in large numbers. Make all the meetings as toxic as possible so that they either carry out the wishes of the membership or step aside for those who are prepared to stand up and be counted.
There is no time to waste. Leaving the good ship Trust to carry on it's own merry way is not an option. Join up now. |  |

Help your fellow man.

It's a very valid point you make. |  |

""Although I cannot promise or predict the future, I can guarantee one thing - the current board of directors will always fight, as we have done over the last 12 years, to work together as one with the Supporters Trust to make 100% sure that Swansea City football club remains the number one priority in all our thoughts and in every decision we make." | | Poll: | Huw Jenkins |

Stokes post season summary where they name and blame Hughes is similar to what we should be hearing not that tepid piece of shite. |  | | |

Stoke's statement was from the club not the Trust.
I very much hope the Trust do not take their places in the board room / box on Sunday. |  | | |

Weak, bland as if to appease but in reality offers next to nothing. Who wrote this statement? As whoever it is needs to understand the seriousness of Jenkins misdemeanours and premeditated actions which have shown clearly that he's been more interested in his own bank balance than protecting the future of our football club. Withdraw it and reword it to show you mean business at last and take out the crap congratulating Huddersfield ...what the fook is that in there for? | |

If we're not going to court pdq and they've f*cked up that opportunity too, to keep themselves on a self important powerless committee, we need to get the pitchforks out. |  |

They're patting the backs of their fellow paper shufflers at the HTSA - priorities mun, innit. I hear they had a great set of branded silk ties and cuff links and our trust chairman is desperate to tap up their supplier. It's an urgent matter so a sub-group is being set up to assess the viability of a sub-group to determine the viability of a sub-group, in the hope of starting a sub-group to approve the purchase. They'll be envy of the supporters club circuit (Championship branch) if this comes off! |  | | |

I particularly liked the interview on the radio earlier with one of them, who said they’ve no idea what’s happening with Carlos (presumably talking about his replacement). So they’re still beeing kept in the dark and fed on sh*te.
Pointless really. |  | | |

There's absolutely no chance of going to court, with these lily livered herbets, there won't even be another vote, there was supposed to a decision made months ago and there's been nothing, its beyond laughable. | |
