I don’t know the chap, but I assume someone does ?
The strong performances make it even harder to sit and watch from home, but credit to Steve Cooper and the players for their efforts in what must sometimes feel like a training exercise (in atmosphere, if not intensity).
Like Swansea’s defence on Wednesday night, the Trust Board is really clicking at the moment with great levels of involvement both in the Trust’s activities and with the club. In the last few weeks we’ve had a number of productive discussions with Julian Winter and Swansea’s Head of Commercial, Rebecca Edwards-Symmons; we have also continued to progress with Trust initiatives at our monthly board meetings and sub-group forums.
As I’ve mentioned previously, a huge part of my work with the Trust has been on modernising how we communicate with fans and members, and the frequency with which we do that.
It’s been great to engage with so many of you through our social media channels — I’ve enjoyed reading your pre-match score predictions on Instagram, some of which have been spot on. It’s clear that the optimism runs pretty deep right now amongst the Jack Army. If you’d like to get involved, you can follow us @SwansTrust.
This increased engagement feels especially important when we aren’t able to meet with you all face to face at the Pod, a position I look forward to taking up with some of my fellow Board Members as soon as it’s safe to do so. Rest assured, I’ll still want those score predictions.
We recognise that social media isn’t for everyone however, and so you can always reach us by email if you have any questions — communications@swanstrust.co.uk. We are always open to hearing your thoughts on what more we can do, so keep those suggestions and comments coming in for us.
Looking backwards to look forwards…
2021 is a year of milestones for the Club and the Supporters’ Trust — 10 years ago we were promoted to the Premier League. 20 years ago, in July, the Swansea City Supporters’ Trust was officially formed. This is a significant milestone, and one we are looking to celebrate throughout the 2021/2022 season — preparations for this are well under way and you will hear more about this throughout the summer.
On the pitch, it was great to see us get back to winning ways against Coventry. It’s fair to say the boys are flying, especially at home, and long may that continue. Ben Cabango has been superb of late, and he is good for his four goals this season — that’s also testament to our great improvement in set pieces.
Bristol City are a team on the up, and another with a new manager. Let’s hope we can do what we did when we last played at home versus a new manager (Watford) — we’ll take a 2-0 win please boys.
Enjoy the game.
Adam

Not really, there is no indication that it isn't happening, as I've told you, the very recent update stayed preparations are ongoing. So yes, as it stands they aren't in court but are going to court.
You're 'heard' have you?? Hmm. From who would that be then i wonder!?
But yes all accounts suggest the trust are working closely with the high ranking club employees like Winter & the board members on the day to day running of the club.
That however, as you know is entirely separate to and has no bearing on relations with the majority across the Atlantic on matters pertaining to the ownership of the club & what the future holds on that subject. |
Mr Silverstein has clearly enjoyed working with them. I am sure they can come to some sort of accomodation. Like I said there is no reason why they should not as they both have the same medium term goals.
With good relations and good times ahead I can see no reason why the Trust should run away from their mission. As I keep explaining to you if they leave with a cash sum they wil "de facto" become a financial Trust of some sort. They will have no choice or face stagnation. This is what the members voted for but did not realise as my comments were ignored. |  |

Silverstein is not involved in any dispute / action, he wasn't involved in the purchase, so hes irrelevant in the
Case&would be unable to negotiate anything.
Indeed, I'm sure the trust would be open to negotiation, to save going to court would be better all round. However the trust should and probably are/ will be extremely careful in this. They've put off negotiations in the past at critical times&at others offers have been rescinded, not sure what would lead anyone to believe anything would be different now. Although the Americans spoke a good game a few weeks back, no one should be surprised at all if that was just saying what people wanted to hear.
The Americans actions (or inaction) will speak louder than their words. [Post edited 4 Mar 2021 13:26]

Silverstein is a club director and close associate of Kaplan and Levien. He is also a very experienced investor with a strong ethical record.
This is exactly the type of "networking" the Trust should be doing. I applaud the Trust for this. | |

Tremendous if he is all those things.
But he has no involvement in the dispute. | |
