Separate businesses. They don’t put a Penny in themselves really, they just use profit to reinvest! |  | | |

All true. But the point is the money that was spent on those players was not the yanks money, it was the clubs money, gained by selling other players. The only money the yanks put in was for the initial purchase of the club, and most of that wasn’t Jase & Steve’s, it was a bunch of 27 random investors money! | | | |

A more important question should be how can the yanks be so bad at running sports businesses? DC United bottom of the standings so far, again. Everything these guys touch turns to 💩 |  | | |

I asked this in another thread. Don’t forget Levien is involved with Memphis Grizzlies who (surprise surprise) are bottom of their league! The must have found a way to make money from sporting mediocrity. It stinks to high hell! | | | |

Snake oil salesmen, but who fell for Jack to a King. I really do worry where we’ll go solely under their leadership. The conference if Bobbly is a guide to their competence. | | | |

Rooney to DC United? Think no further than your good selves who have forked out to get Him to the States on, no doubt, huge money. And the Yanks will be using the Swansea money that you have given to them, as well as Asset Stripping the Soul out of the Club, to use as investment of the bigger prize- that is the Financing of DC United.
Swansea have paid the ultimate price for allowing these Vultures anywhere near your club.
It will take a long long time to get out of the Championship with this Board. Keep the Faith. Get them out, get a Board that will invest in the Team and start again. Don't be afraid to take a step back to be able to go forward.
Good luck next season as a Championship club. | | | |

They aren’t investors. At least not on terms of investing into the team. They just run it like a business. I don’t know if they are putting their own money into DC United and don’t really care. We don’t want to be in debt to them anyway | | | |

They’ve done SO badly, I’m starting to believe they wanted it to be a failure! Have u seen the 1967 film (or 2005 remake) The Producers? Here is an excerpt from the synopsis on Wikipedia:-
“Leo has a revalation: a producer could make a lot more money with a flop than a hit by overselling shares in the production, because no one will audit the books of a play presumed to have lost money.”
All I’m saying is the clubs books need to scrutinised very, very carefully! | | | |

Whether it was their money or not is irrelevant imo. Enough money was spent to vastly improve the first team, but it was spent badly.
If the Americans had spunked away another £30m of their own pocket money on players I don't think it would have made a damn bit of difference. We'd have brought in more sht players to send out on loan and sell for a loss. | | | |

I'm sure the cost to bring Wayne to DC United was not far off the total cost to bring Bony here last year. |  |

I think is is quite relevant, because it shows that they are ONLY in it for the money, and will never go out on a limb for us to help us in an hour of need (such as now). All they are bothered about is their bottom line. | | | |

Which was basically Huw’s main arguement for selling blown to pieces! | | | |

Sounds about right, they are both about as crap and knackered as one another. |  |

I don't think we should be spending every penny the club has plus millions out of the owner's pockets every season. That's not a good way to run a club.
They probably looked at the amount spent (and in the bank following player sales) and thought that was enough to keep the club going. It should have been.
If the Americans are only interested in their bottom line they've done a spectacularly bad job of that. £7m on a season long loan is bad investment. Bony's wages were a ridiculous expense. They could have cut way more corners than they potentially have. It's not the reason we've gone down. | | | |

But is wasn’t THIER investment!!! It was the clubs money!
Does anybody in Swansea still believe there has been any actual “investment” in the squad by the Americans? Seriously?!?
BTW - I agree we should not be overspending, but this was the sole reason HJ gave for selling the club. To allow us to have rich owners who could lend us money and bail us out of trouble if we in danger of relegation! | | | |

If we signed a decent striker instead of Bony we could have been OK especially when Ayew was suspeneded | | | |

Wasn't it said at the time that the club had gone as far as it could go and needed new owners to take it to the next level - which sadly they have done. | | | |

I agree. I actually think we were a proven goal scorer, and and creative midfielder short of staying up...........
..............shame we sold both of ours the previous summer! | | | |

Well either both buyer and seller totally misread the situation, or they were both lying and misrepresenting the situation to each other (And the fans, trust ect) in a shameless bid to enrich themselves!
Incompetence or duplicitousness and greed (or a combination of both). Draw your own conclusion. | | | |
