Following on from the Brazilian guy there's a few rumours going round now that the owners are looking to sell. Probably too much smoke now for there to be no fire.
As is customary these days, one of the owners that are meant to represent the fans remain silent.
Either they're unaware, they're NDA'd up again? Either could be possible. |  |

Damn these directors for not talking about something that clearly must be happening because people online have gone a bit mad repeating bits and pieces from one random Brazilian. They should be making statements every single day that there is definitely nothing going on, which would surely make the rumours stop.
In football "no smoke without fire" is absolute nonsense. There's always someone blowing it. |  | | |

So you're doubting the Swansea Independent's article and sources then? | |

If the article is read properly, and understood it’s a bit obvious, but whether people choose to believe it or not, that’s personal preference. It’s asking a few questions that’s all. There’s nothing in there other than that. Oh, and of course the fact the current owners are allegedly putting the club out to tender. Which is the question we are asking. Because it needs asking.
As has happened many times before, especially here, time always tells.
I am certain jasper isn’t questioning anyones integrity.
Just being cantankerous.

It's criticising the conclusions you've drawn from all the recent gossip, and your criticism of board members for not doing more to deny things you've decided must be happening. Are you expecting a weekly bulletin for all the things that haven't happened each week?
I will however doubt some of the spelling and punctuation of the article. I'm not Keith's allie in that respect. | | | |

Gossip that is profiled in this latest article, that backs up other sources and a statement from prospective buyer. So the conclusion I've come to a pretty logical one and perfectly valid. You've offered no counter to suggest why it isn't.
Well yes, if a man explicitly states he's coming to complete the purchase of the club, why wouldn't the supporters trust comment on it? Part of their remit is to keep fans updated. They patently failed to do that recently and it seems they've done so again. This is their own doing and the criticism is valid. The members no longer have faith that they will brief the members on matters. The precedent has been set.
But you keep picking up spelling mistakes in articles if that makes you feel important.
And the word you were looking for was 'ally' by the way. [Post edited 25 May 2022 18:36]

it used to be silly season was just around player transfers but now silly season can be about clubs being for sale too. The media is always desperate for something to draw in the fans, to get sales or clicks.
It doesn't mean the club isn't for sale but neither does it mean the club will be sold cheap.
I'm not worried if the club is for sale, as long as the current owners sell to somebody decent and not an Owen Royston or a Domenico Serafino. | | | |

Depends how qualified you are to read it. It’s ridiculous to go in to that territory, but as Phil and both I know it’s the last place critics go to.
As for the gossip. Personally we have listened to none.
Just gauged some very helpful and informed sources opinions from past reports.
It’s what we do. This is a fans website asking questions. And no conclusions have been drawn.
Edit - I’ve changed it, most people when they see an error ( we all make them ) tend to drop us a PM.

The US people only own 69% f the club. The agreements between them and the Trust and other shareholders is unknown as far a this forum is concerned?
For example do the Trust, as part of the new agreement have a drag / tag on clause?. I presume the other shareholders have one. If they do then it is very much their business.
Do the Trust have the authority to sell their shares in its entirety without consulting the members? The members have agreed both to sell shares and go to court in the past and neither of these were delivered.
The Trust should now consult the members as to what they want to do with regard to selling a holding and maintaining a holding. |  |

As I said a couple of months ago, as an outsider it seems to me that MM is getting more influential on the perimeter of the club. I fully expect him to increase his shareholding in the club soon. |  | | |

Yes the trust apparently does have a tag along clause.
Who knows whether they have the authority to sell shares without consulting members. I didn't think they had the authority to drop legal action and sign agreements with the other owners without consulting the members but they did anyway. | |

I would imagine every club in the EFL "is up for sale".
It all depends on what the Americans value the club at.
The club has certainly depreciated in value since they took over especially with relegation in 2018.
If the owners are willing to take a substantial loss then there maybe a chance we have new owners in the coming months? | | | |

Of course people should remember that the report is merely referencing the club being put out to tender by the Americans and is asking the question, is this right ? | |

Before I get pelters just asking the question :
Would involvement by a consortium involving the above be all bad ?
At least we know ( in spite of the way the sale of the club was handled ) he was and I guess still is a Swans supporter at heart ?
So would want to see us pushing back towards the Premier League again?
Not saying he would or should be involved, just wondering how it would be received after any obvious reaction has died down ? | |

So by the term out to tender, are you implying that they don't necessarily want to sell up entirely but are offering it out to others to run? | |

No idea mate, but current news is a ‘prospectus’ has been sent out. And that’s not denied by planet swans and us. The question can only be is it true ? Only the club can answer that. | |
