    Huw is a shareholder and has full control given by the owners......He is going nowhere until he retires which may or may not be until the end of the season. (hope so ) but who would replace him.......some yank maybe....

    That full control can also be taken away by the owners - whenever they want.

    At the salary he gets paid, the post will attract plenty of interest. It should be an open competition to find the best candidate on merit. In fact the post should be split between chairman and director of football.

    Not necessarily. They don't have to be from within the club.

    I thought it was West Ham that we’re into that. ;)

    Swansea chairman will consider swansong even if club stay up

    Premier League status.

    In a wide-ranging interview conducted at his own request amid a backdrop of mounting unrest, personal criticism and growing fears Swansea are heading for the Championship, Jenkins acknowledged he has to take responsibility for the club’s malaise over the past few years.

    He described his failure to reappoint Brendan Rodgers as manager 18 months ago as his “biggest regret” as chairman, said he thought Paul Clement should have been sacked sooner and admitted Swansea, who provided a blueprint for others to follow not so long ago, have lost their way to such an extent they have now “become like any other club”.

    Speaking at the training ground only 24 hours after Carlos Carvalhal was named as Swansea’s fifth manager in little more than two years, Jenkins also addressed the controversial change of ownership last summer.

    He insisted Swansea would be in safe hands if the club were relegated but admitted Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien, the majority shareholders, had not put in any money to pay for signings and revealed the only funds available to Carvalhal in January would come from the profit made from player sales in the summer.

    Blame game
    Jenkins, however, is the man many supporters blame for the club’s plight, primarily because of flawed managerial appointments and poor signings. This is the third successive season Swansea, who are five points adrift of safety, find themselves in a relegation battle, and it was put to Jenkins that some fans believe his position is untenable.

    Although Jenkins denied he had “taken his eye off the ball” during the takeover negotiations the summer before last, he conceded it was an error of judgment not to bring Rodgers back to the club he had left in 2012 to join Liverpool.

    Like a slippery eel, he evades and deflects blame in an epiphany of half truths. He is responsible for overseeing the demise of the Club. On performance alone, he HAS to go NOW.

    Honestly, I'd rather Jenkins at the helm while these Yanks are majority shareholders.
