"""And each match is changing Kaplan. “I want to be careful about how I say this. Whether Swansea goes up 10 times in value or goes to zero [is] not going to affect my family or me, [it is] not going to have a material impact on my net worth . . . What I didn’t fully appreciate is how emotionally invested I would be in the team . . . I think it has to do with the fact that it’s so hard to score a goal. The goals are so few and far between that, when you do score, it’s such an incredible emotional release. You can see [it] with [the] players. They score a goal and they’re jumping. They’re sliding on the grass.”""
They're not interested in finding devious ways to redeem their small investment in the Swans. The money they've put in is relative peanuts to them. Yes they're investors and want to make a return, and Kaplan is by far and away the largest investor, but even with us bottoming out, it's not going to have a be all and end all impact on him and his family.
They want success. They've just made mistakes which have cost us.
Maybe we should give them a chance to put things right? |  |

Maybe if it effected his family a little bit he'd put some money in to ensure they weren't effected by any negativity.
Maybe if it did effect him in the pocket, he'd see a reason to actually put real money in, but in honesty it seems he's just having a punt on a sport he seems to enjoy. He's crap at both, obviously as DC United are bottom in their league in the US of A and he's got us relegated from the PL. Absolute amateurs. |  |

You're really getting more stupid by the day aren't you.
If anything, that only indicates that they have nothing to lose whatever happens to us. If they can make money of us, good for them. If we crash and tumble down the leagues they'll at least get their money back while we become the national disgrace in Wales.
Stop embarrassing yourself. |  |

Here we go. Cue the childish responses.
Is he involved with DC United then?
And why do you want him to put more money in? You want the Trust's share gone do you? | |

The irony.
What it means is they're not going to strip the cupboard bear because their financial situation doesn't depend on us. | |

Or you can interpret it as that he'll strip the club bare if needed, make his money back and because of that, it won't affect him or his family.
I truly hope you're right on so many things Res. I couldn't be happier if I was shown to be the mug, because it'd mean that we'll be in a better place as a club. It's just, realistically it's all pointing towards utter destruction at the moment. [Post edited 7 Sep 2018 11:01]

A quote from me a few days ago, looks like he is spreading his wings further:-
38m profit

You have been shockingly offensive to them on occasion. At times it looked very much like you had a vendetta against them. That has only changed recently when you have started to try and forge new alliances with people that don’t like you. |  |

Which means they could (and if I was in their position already would have) say sod the lot of you - have your club and enjoy the inevitable trips to Grimsby and Bromley. |  |

If he loses significant money at Swansea will impact on his ability to launch a new fund.
For example the 27 investors in current fund unlikely to provide new money, for a new fund.
New investors to a new fund - also likely to conduct due diligence on how he has managed the current investment in Swansea and how the investment has performed. | | | |

I’m not in cahoots with anyone. Don’t need to be. I know one thing though, neither of you will have the decency, intelligence or minerals to admit you’re wrong when things inevitably get worse. If the yanks deliver, I’ll admit I was wrong. That’s the difference. | | | |

Do.you think experienced investors expect every investment to pay off?
Kaplan is by far and away the largest investor here, I'm guessing his stake is pretty substantial compared to the smaller punts the other 26 have made.
And I doubt for one second they were desperately trying to scramble an investment crew together. | |

Wrong about what?
My stand point is simply based on what is happening not what I think might happen. I am not making any predictions here, my view of the Americans is based on their actions. Sketchy takeover, but not unexpected from people who initially had no affinity to the club, sketchy initial underestimation of the situation by appointing Bradley (but could see their flawed logic) - since then I have no complaints really.
That’s as far as my view goes. What are you going to prove me wrong about? | |

You've lost the plot!
Now, I am not saying they are or not. Not siding with any particular side of this thread but come on, surely you cannot believe what you just wrote?
Mate your logic and reasoning is so far of the mark. Asset stripers (not that i am saying Kaplan is) don't have financial dependency on the company they just bought to asset strip. In fact, its likely they don't have financial dependency period!
You mentioned Darren smoking something ? i'd ph ucking love to know what you're smoking! |  | | |
