So Silverstein has loaned the club more money? |  |

Could be but suspect it’s the MacQuarie loan money secured against the final two Rodon payments due in October 2022 & 2023. | | | |

"The club have also secured investment from their part owners in the USA for player expenditure, and have interest accruing still on a variety of investments. This has all been put in place and agreed by Director Jake Silverstein this month."
I maybe be wrong, but to me this reads as additional money? Not the money loaned over a year ago.
It says 'investment' too but that's surely false. Increase in loan it must be. | |

“…….and have interest accruing still on a variety of investments”.
What interest on which investments? | | | |

Yes that definitely needs clarification. | |

You are right to be concerned. US people investing in the club was never supposed to happen. All the forums were full of people telling us the 'Yankees' were bad for Swansea. "Only the Trust have the club interest at heart". That is a good one.
The US people have been short changed with transfers in the past |  |

- correct, all Swansea fans should be concerned by more debt being potentially ladened on the club.
- they haven't invested have they? Loaned yes.
- well technically they do. They possess that which no outsider will ever truly possess.
- what do you mean by short changed? Which transfer? | |

Borja Guidolin.
Bony 2 Ayew 2 Sanches Clucas - Clement
John McKay (yes McKay) Celina Asoro - Potter
Peterson - Cooper
Downes, Piroe Patterson and Obafemi look pretty good. | |

Can’t help mate, wouldn’t compromise anyone.
I would say the Rodon money is being spent wisely, if MKD play ball that is. |  |

Well Resloven swan would disagree - giving money (in this case the club's own funds!) to non Welsh (Australian) third parties is something they frown upon. | |

But in all seriousness, there are definitely some points in the article that require elaboration.
To me they are quite serious implications. | |

All we can say is the bid is going in ASAP.
We can only surmise where the money comes from 🤷ðŸ»
Obviously a big effort has also gone in to a new signing as reported on the forum too.
I have plenty of trust in the club when we look at who they have brought in recently, even Paterson. They are putting together a very decent squad.

I'm not concerned about the veracity of the O Reilly bid. Nor the strength of the squad.
It's the bits I've already raised above.
The article goes further than surmising as to where the moneys coming from. Rodon proceeds are mentioned as is investment put in place by Silverstein. So is this:
- a top-up of the existing loan (debt to the club)? Winter did allude to this potentially happening.
- money from the existing loan? Although the article suggests this month it was sorted, not the over year old loan.
- actual investment? Can't be true unless he wants nothing in return. Otherwise dilution proceedings would commence, which as far as we know they haven't.
And the interest point - is the club paying this!? To Silverstein? Is this an additional sum on top of the 5% for his initial loan? | |

What amazes me is last season when we were close to returning toi the PL very little spent in January and 2 crocked MLS players were brought in. This season low midtable ( generous description) the owners are geting us into debt to add to a squad which in terms of results has been very sketchy at best
All of a sudden eole are getting excited we arre getting deeper in debt in the hope this player is the missing link? | |

I could live with the club taking on loans / debt to keep the lights on, save jobs and re-lay the pitch for example.
What we're doing now is spending money on players that we don't have.
How is that any different to the likes of Reading and Derby? Albeit on a smaller scale (at this point). Gambling. | |

I agree Chief i can understand borrowing money to keep us afloat but to borrow money to "strengthen" the team seems crazy especially given what we did a year ago when the owners were in touching distance of the golden goose.
And we are gambling MArtin has no pedigree or history of naything than mediocre mid table fininsh yet the club seem to be getting in to hock to keep him happy | |

We spent £9m on Andre’s wages alone in the last two years. We’ve been gambling for a while. | | | |

Well we did have parachute payments then (now ended) and we had little choice but to pay his wages. | |
