I had an interesting conversation with ‘someone’ down Castellamare earlier.
A lot of us have seen John van Swedehead on Twitter saying he was lied to as well as the fans a few times and it came up in conversation earlier that Dineen and Jenkins were also lied to. Apparently the Yanks told them that nothing would change if they sold but loads has changed behind the scenes. Apparently Jenkins and Dineen were completely flummoxed when the Yanks brought in Pearlman to run the commercial department,the commercial department which has now employed more people in the last couple of years than it has in the last couple of decades.
Also Dineen and Jenkins were kept on to advise through the transitional period but no fuçker listens to them,an example of this and I’ve heard it off a few people over the last year and The Res has posted it a few times is the Gylfi transfer,Jenkins wanted it to go through weeks before it did to give us more of a chance to bring in players but Kaplan was having none of it.
Another thing too is that apparently Pearlman has virtually no contacts in the UK and as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago we had no front of shirt sponsor lined up,that was untill luckily Dineen stepped in and got the shirt sponsor to save the head of the commercial department that earns £15k a week from starting the season with a blank shirt.
Just passing on what I’ve been told. |  |

Another thing I was told too was that Jenkins DID have a relegation clause in his contract.
Poor lad. |
How the hell can he ‘make ends meet’ now on JUST £200k/£250k per annum ??? 😳😳
My heart bleeds for him (not!) the lying, cheating scumbag he’s like a bad smell which keeps lingering around.....

I wonder if Potter is aware of the Trust vs The Americans vs Ex Shareholders battle in recent years.
If the former shareholders are going out in public claiming that they have been lied to by the Americans then Potter must start to question what he has been promised. |  | | |

“I wonder if Potter is aware of the Trust vs The Americans vs Ex Shareholders battle in recent years.”
I agree,that was my point here earlier.

Not sure if it's been mentioned already in this thread - apologies if so, but I get a feeling that HJ, LD, MM etc. are crafting some sort of exit plan. A plan that will enable them to move around Swansea with some grain of credibility, and without fear. Sewing seeds that they were the victims in the sale (how gullible do they really think we are?), appointing a head coach that will take us back to "the Swansea Way", handing over responsibility of transfers to GP, and having established the facilities we now have (the only one I'd really say they do have some credit for). If this is the plan, I don't care if they think we've bought it as long as they do actually go - and take a few more with them. |  | | |

Tough one to sell though. If false and the American's didn't deceive them, the old board are still lying, immoral (illegal?) scumbags. But if the OP is true it shows they are thick, incredibly naive, lying, immoral (illegal?) scumbags. 
Could be something to what you say. The whole exchange around Tutumlu was a bit odd, but would fit your theory if it was just LD and HJ plotting. 'We had our differences, but poor old Jenk's wasn't the bad guy. He was sticked up by MM, etc.'. Who knows though - this is probably how conspiracy theories start. |  | | |

With the trust pretty much air brushed out of JTAK, and the lack of support in terms of memberships being included in season tickets/Jack army accounts ect, it’s fairly obvious they planned to sideline the trust for many years prior to the sale.
I see this tactic is now continuing in force with the new “focus groups”. |  | | |

Surely the Trust will have some representation at the focus group on Thursday. They have to be there. | | | |

Unless they are deliberately excluded.
But we know Huw and the Yanks wouldn’t do something like that don’t we?  | | | |

For some of the trust board the phrase “sh!t or get off the pot” springs to mind. | | | |

I think there could be some mileage in this. If the club were giving the trust £10 for each season sold, then as soon as the club hit the PL that would be approx £150k per year for the Trusts coffers and over several seasons would have quickly generated a significant nest egg to purchase shares.

Isn't only Levein involved in DC United? Kaplan and the investors in the hedge fund have nothing to do with them. |
i think we will be hearing more about Kaplan in there soon. | | | |

Liars lied to?
Stitch up merchants stitched up?
Really?
Awww. Pity.
Must be really terrible for them having to look at their bank accounts.
Although I'm guessing that really helps salve their guilty conscious (if they have one at all) of the mess they've made of the club in the last few years.
Could have walked away legends and heroes with the right buyers.
Now they should just run away.
If they're that uncomfy with their situation and really want to make amends, how about giving the Trust enough shares/ money to get them up to the 25% holding?
Yep.
Didn't think so |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

Jenkins was never a fan of the Trust. The relationship between the two was quite combative in the early years. |  |

Of course it’s from a reliable sauce I don’t post crap.
I don’t know about Pearly. |
Oh, I reckon the OP proves otherwise.
Entertaining stuff though. Operation self preservation is alive and well. |  |

At the end of the day it was lazy recruitment that cost us.
We only needed another 5-6 goals.
Huw Jenkins brought back a crocked Bony and Andre Ayew who also has been in poor form for West Ham after a serious injury.
Next step he will be bringing back Ashley Williams from Everton.
Does Huw Jenkins actually have any contacts? | | | |

Hang on a minute, you talk about due diligence but why wasn’t due diligence carried out in regards to the trust director at the time receiving thousands of £’s from the club, on your watch ?. |
