Cue the down arrows and hate haha.
Reason I say this is because of the Birch appointment, the way they've given him almost total control to enable him to build a, quite frankly, highly exciting backroom team and potential for our club.
OK, player signings have been slow and last years clearout was harsh, but it really seems like we are moving forward now.
I am extremely happy with the non playing staff we have acquired this year and although we are only looking at loans or free transfers in this transfer window, these non players are definitely not free or cheap. They are a mix of young and hungry, and experienced and knowledgeable.
We are most definitely moving forward.
The words of our new head of recruitment shows that he is looking to be here for a while to come and I think he may just be the dogs bollocks (even though I didn't really know his background before).

Jesus. This thread is the football equivalent of Stockholm syndrome. |
Have you actually read any posts in the thread. My post, and many others, certainly don't seem like any Stockholm Syndrome. Basically all I'm saying they've done two good decisions - which are bringing Birch in and butting out of his decisions.
At the mo they're still a bunch of Yankers as far as I'm concerned. |  | | |

We are where we are. They don’t really give a sh*t about us but they are trying to make us a saleable assent again. That isn’t bad news.
They’re guilty of oversight dereliction with regards to Huw’s disastrous spending but they’re trying to make things right again. What else do you want them to do?
They could loan us money at 7% interest and foreclose when we can’t pay it back (the last thing I or any of us should want). Come on, you’re one of the sensible ones on here mun! |  |

It's a bit like blaming a bad manager in a work environment isn't it. The blame lies with whoever appointed and manages him/her in the first place. The sellers sold irresponsibly, quickly and covertly - evidently not really caring as to the integrity or intentions of the buyers. I'd prefer different owners tbh, ones who would invest as oppose to just look for profit.
However I agree with the OP in that (probably in the quest to make the club as attractive as possible sale-wise), they have at long last made the right appointments and cut out some deadwood that was dragging us even further down. There's not that much bad news in all of that (history apart) when you analyse it. |
'The sellers sold irresponsibly, ....'
The consortium had already taken on a number of sports franchises / teams
'Ultimately there can be no doubting they boast an experience of sporting business, certainly in the case of Levien who has a background as an high-profile NBA agent following a career as an attorney, but has since gone on to perform roles in buy-ins at three different sport franchises: the Philadelphia 76ers, the Memphis Grizzlies and DC United.
He has also worked in an executive/management role at the latter two having also performed a similar ‘front office’ post at the Sacramento Kings.'
They had strong connection and partnership with Erick Thorhild , (Philadelphia 76ers, Satria Muda - basketball team, Indonesian Basketball Association (PERBASI / Persatuan Bola Basket Seluruh Indonesia), President of SEABA (Southeast Asian Basketball Association), Chairman of National Olympic Committee for 2015—2019, DC United, Oxford United and Inter Milan,- a veritable novice in the world of sport.

Then, reported in April before the purchase but after stating they would never sell their shares.
'The Trust — as they have stated — have already received assurances from Levien over some of the group’s intentions, which include the Trust retaining both their 21.1% shareholding and seat in the boardroom while it has been stressed from sources close to the deal that they see the community connection as key.'
'evidently not really caring as to the integrity or intentions of the buyers.' to hold majority shares in a successful club and world wide brand??? They have never claimed to be anything are not.
'I'd prefer different owners tbh, ones who would invest as oppose to just look for profit.' There is no evidence these shareholders are in it simply for profit. Like any sane investor / owner they will at some stage look for some profit.
The idea that some unicorn investor will come along hoover up all the shares, churn out £££millions from their own pocket and give it all to the Trust is fantasy land.
When that question was put to Pearlman the response, after his initial guffaws, was, If we know of any he'd pass the information on with the assurance the American consortium would listen.
And Birch, after his initial guffaws, simply commented , 'they don't exist.'

Bury? Haven't got a clue who their owners are.
I'm not saying we have the best owners in the world. Far from. Just saying that they are not the evil asset strippers we are being led to believe.
They are definitely building things now, not ripping things apart.
Yes, they are a hedge fund and want to make money, but so do 90% of club's owners and many are far worse.
We have a plan now, by the looks of it and it's starting to show. The seeds are being sown at a decent rate. Hopefully we can keep moving forward slowly and will bear fruit in a couple of years.
I'm confident we will be back in the prem in a few years, in a steady ship, with a very solid base. |
Don’t need to know who the Bury owner is just look at the mess they are in.
That however is my point. At present they are not the worst owners that we could have: there is no evidence of asset stripping and they have brought in someone competent to run their business. A business is all we are to them which is why they don’t really give a flying one about the fans (unless income streams drop) or the area.
Birch looks as if he is trying to build bridges as it is good for the business, and happy fans spend money which is good for the business.
The initial blame lies with the people that sold out their shares without appearing to undertake any due diligence on the new owners and the way they did it.
The new owners believed the fairy story JTAK and let the business carry on without any real oversight resulting in a financial mess. | | | |

As with most things, there's good and bad.
The bad is pretty obvious. The wilful sidelining of the trust even after Jenkins was moved on. The ludicrous amount of power they gave Jenkins in the first place even when he was clearly involved in things he shouldn't have been involved in. Bradley.
As for the good, despite numerous thus far unproven allegations of asset stripping we've spent a f*cking fortune on players since they took over. Spent it badly, but nobody can sensibly claim that when cash was available it wasn't invested in players. Even last season when we needed to clear the decks money was found to sign players like Celina.
Now it appears they're looking to run the club on a sensible, sustainable basis and are allowing Birch the freedom to put structures in place enabling that. This is a good thing, and overdue.
They've done a lot to make people suspicious of their actions. More through incompetence rather than malice IMO but it's understandable why they're not popular. Their decisions since Birch arrived are going some ways towards rectifying that. |  |

Did you attend the EGM when this was first publicised way back when?
I did - and HC vehemently claimed ignorance. Ahem. I did smell a large rat mind you and did relate my view. From what I recall, and I may stand corrected of course, the Trust had previously opposed a previous move to sell, and the sellers, especially after flirting with relegation, certainly weren't going to watch their potential millions slip away, almost like Marty McFly in the photo. I also heard that the Americans didn't even realise relegation from the PL was possible! All hearsay etc. I accept. if so, lack of due diligence on their part but, as the OP suggests (and I agree), they are building albeit for selfish reasons (not that I blame them). Helmet on ready for another dissection of my post! Maybe "we" will never know the full facts, so in the interim until we do, opinions reign eh. |  | | |

Indeed. I do believe that, if they were honest, they would have carried out more due diligence. All in the past now though - the point of this thread really is how the Americans are currently going about their business, which as you say has "goods" and "bads". They could be an awful lot worse, and there are very encouraging signs of rebuilding on sound footings. Sell wisely, hold on to one or two starlets, maybe add here and there, keep giving our academy healthy throughput and we'll be fine. | | | |

There's a world of difference between delegating the running of the club to someone who (on the face of it) had done a good job to that point, and doing such little research you'd spend tens of millions investing in a sports team without knowing that relegation exists.
I know people like to think the worst of them, but people like Kaplan don't get to be as wealthy as they are by being that f*cking stupid. | |

Almost every club everywhere needs to sell. Clubs with a wage/turnover ratio like we did even more so. Our other income streams were piss poor because we left rank amateurs in charge when we should have been making hay. That problem pre-dated the Americans.
There's nothing new there. | |

Thing is no matter how well we did in the Premiership always remember we are a South Wakes club and of not a jot of interest to major sponsors. I can't think of any major sponsor who came knocking at our door after a pretty good run in the first three years at the top level wanting to chuck a few million in our pockets. | | | |

There we are then. The sell-outs did nothing wrong. You heard it here first. |
You've heard the same thing many times over but the same unfounded speculation keeps being trotted out.
Jenkins etc. made the most of what they had and I'm not blaming them for that. For all the holier than thou crud spouted about them selling out I believe you'd have to look far and wide for a Swans fan who would not have taken the cash.
I think the Trust acted amateurishly and have expended a lot of hot air moaning about being left out of a sale they weren't gong to participate in and did know about.
Had the sellers hung on for the Trust to get their act together we'd already be bankrupt.
The only problem I have is the Americans trusted the previous administration far to long. | |
