6 years. Action should have been taken on day one.

Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

It's an absolute shambles.

They are coming across as absolutely clueless as to what the deal they signed entails. Embarrassing.

They had a lot to put right that wasn’t done over the years before Dave Dalton was brave enough to stand up and be counted IMO that is.

The self agendas, and I don’t include Phil here, of those who have sparked up to protect their own misdemeanours since they left the trust makes them equally as liable to criticism, again IMO. Instead of covering their own backsides they should have faced up and become ( allys) of the new trust chairman instead of hanging him out to dry.

It’s very Husker Du.

IMO inaction because they were guided by the trust insurers who possibly were the influencers, which is why nothing was done. At least the new trust board had the mettle to make a decision.

They made a decision because they were given the opportunity to do. Silverstein only approached this board after they took over. No offer was made to the previous board.

Yes, so the previous trust administration did try and get people around the table then.

Correct though, the sellouts as you rightly point out had declined to partake due to self interests.

I think the trust were too cautious because of the fear of opening up on their strategy. The same for those who sold in 2016 and of course the new owners ( USA) had their own agenda. I don’t blame the old trust board, but I do question their post agreement claims ( in feb ) since they left to protect their own decision making. They were being guided by others at the time and like we all would have been were completely out of their depth IMO .

Well if they were 'completely out if their depth' surely they should be applauded for taking advice from more professional entities such as insurers, legal experts etc.

You can't on the one hand accuse them of being too cautious and on the other of being out of their depth.

What post agreement claims are you referring to anyway?

Thing is it’s done and dusted, time to move on. What could have or should have happened didn’t. I admire Dave Dalton etc … and the rest for putting it to bed. At least they negotiated the end game however low the figure is.

The Old board members coming out and slating the new trust chairman IMO to protect themselves.
That’s how I see it.

It’s not as if the current trust chairman and others who are now criticising them haven’t worked together in the past.

Right so now you've questioned the actions of the previous board, but won't / can't back up those opinions when probed, it's time to move on? If it was why bother with the criticisms that's you have failed to back up?

Whether they are or not we can't say for certain but the criticisms that ex board members are putting forward are entirely valid. Look at how wooly some of Dalton's answers are. There are several things in the deal that still need clarification months on. The board appear to have gone to ground and can't answer questions.

Yea worked together at that time towards delivering the mandate of the members, which quickly changed once the previous board left. So their reaction is hardly surprising.

I only skim read the article but it sounded like they know what's in it but have to seek permission/clarification over whether they can disclose specifics from it publicly.

That’s my viewpoint.
As for hard questions mine is only a personal view. Maybe this should be directed at those who for years said nothing and now can’t keep quiet about it 👍🏼

It won’t stop this website giving an opportunity for all views. And all discussions. That’s the difference. And we also won’t allow any individual concerned whoever they are to be abused regardless as is happening away from this site on Twitter etc.

That’s it really.

Yea a personal view that when challenged on, you throw your hands up in the air and say 'its history, let's move on"

People can't talk about something that hasn't happened. I don't know you mean quiet for years but this deal and prospect of it has only been a few months - after the people I assume you're referring to left the board. So what do you expect to have been saying for years?

Indeed, but you'd expect people to have thought those views through if you're putting them on a public forum. And people have the opportunity rightfully to challenge those views.

And I don't know what you mean by your last comments.... Who's being abused?

David Dalton.

And yes I can say what I like about the situation, because it’s my opinion. As you have yours, it’s just that this is a subject close to your heart for whatever reason. I’ve stated my position as an individual, just as you have, and for me it’s being dwelt on far too much.

But other people enjoy the conversations. Not me on this topic.

My position is clear.

Maybe the Res will oblige you 😉

Well I wouldn't condone any abuse of him and haven't personally seen any personal abuse directed at them. Probing questions, questioning their position and their motives shouldn't be conflated with abuse though.

Well I'm a trust member and Swansea City fan so course it's close to my heart. I don't think you can really complain it's being dwelt upon too long while posting a thread of the interview regarding the deal yesterday. Are we meant to not comment on it?

Your position seems 'muddled' to me (where have I heard that before!?). You've criticised the previous board for not talking yet you know mediation was organised, you've criticised them for being quiet for years, when we're talking about a deal which only signed a few months ago. Doesn't seem a particularly substantiated position does it?

Let’s be honest, the responses to this thread should tell everyone more about the fans of swansea city and their care about the sale, the trust and whoever is involved more than anything else.
