Reality bites, and yet again leaves it's mark. Piroe wanted out, so regardless of whether he is a " best asset ", and with just a year left of his contract, the Owners decided to cash in their " asset ". Good business decision giving them a sizeable profit to use as THEY see fit. New cars all round, exciting holidays somewhere warm, and exotic, etc., etc. Now just WHY should " the yanks ", as they are so disparagingly referred to, allow ANY part of the monies to " benefit the fans " ? Especially when those " fans " are constantly insulting and extremely abusive towards them. If I were in their position, I would stick up two fingers, and crack open another bottle of champagne. The fee seems extraordinarily cheap, but that's a long standing pattern down West. Perhaps the Owners could approach Brighton and Hove Albion owners and get them to handle all future transfer dealings. They seem very up for that task.
Rumour has it they have bought up the entire Wilco stock, hoping to find a bargain or two. Those " yanks ", don't you just love them. ?
As always, the inevitable loss of a top player. It's the price most, if not all teams, have to pay for success. He gave The Swans two memorable seasons, but his heart was now elsewhere. Good luck to him.
" the money we now have available ". What's with the " we " ? It's THEIR money Football is a " risk " business, so no guarantee a replacement will be as effective as Piroe. How much of your money are you offering up to add to the transfer pot ? Not much, I'll wager.
The " customers " in question deserve the same consideration that they show towards the Club Owners, i.e., NONE. The only consideration due to any customer is that they get what they pay for, i.e., access to the ground to watch a game, always assuming they have paid for the privilege.
Are you Levien. Silverstien or the other venture capitalists ? At least we can look forward to him now playing for one of our championship rivals and hoping he doesn't put a few past us ! Great business sense my arse ! Dumb yanks !
Southampton have come back to the Swans with an offer for Nathan Wood. It's a seven million pounds offer plus add ons amounting to ten million this morning. It looks like the Swans will agree to this offer.
It looks like the Swans have got their man with Keinan Davis reportedly having a medical today. Apparently Hull City manager Liam Rosenior is said to be less than pleased
