When did he leave us to join Lincoln? I thought he was an investor?

There is nothing to stop people investing in a number of clubs as a minor investor. He may still have a few grand in Swansea.

I reckon Levien and co. brought him in to advise them. I believe it was him who recommended Bob Bradley. Huw Jenkins had to go along with it as Donovan was an appointed consultant who knew Bradley better than he did.

After BB left Donovan was blamed not HJ. Just my interpretation of the events. US people made two notional decisive moves and both turned out badly. Appointing Bradley and sacking Guidolin.

that doesn't add up I am afraid.
Landon was still working for the club in 2021.
If he was to be blamed for Bradley he would not have stayed for another 4-5 years.

He is a consultant I would imagine. He knows the US game better than most. Consultants do not have to have exclusivity agreements.

The Owners also own DC United remember so he may have been working for Swansea, DC or both.

He was a "part-owner"

Until Jenkins fell foul of premier league survival and a dose of ego he ( and more importantly M.Morgan ) who called the shots were steering the club in the biggest and most challenging league in the world.

People should reflect on that for a bit. Not least how the Swans got there and how they survived for so long.

Just my opinion. Put yourself in Jenkins shoes.

Agree.
Jenkins in a recent interview admits he was disappointed when the Americans were listening to him less on important issues.
