    He said we didn't have the £500k increase in fee, no matter the £6m..

    You have to add what the demands are on top of the transfer fee......We dodged a bullet there...

    The question was put to Dineen why we would not increase our bid by the 500k to get a player Potter wanted, Dineen tweeted back that we never had the 500k increase let alone the 6m transfer fee. So we were never in the running to sign him.

    Yes and I quote from the great man himself
    "1. "Forget investment. The club had to find 50 million in savings to survive."

    2. "Our revenue this season went down by approx. £70 m."

    3. "Last season our revenue was £120m, this season it's £60m, but we still have to pay all the wages. So we needed to offload."

    4. "We couldn't afford £6m for Ryan Woods."

    5. "I wouldn't trust anybody else (than Jenkins) to deal with the transfers. 16 years experience of doing so. Do you know of someone better that knows Swansea City?."

    So if what Dineen came out with is a load of b0ll0cks. What was the scenario likely to have been..
