I actually feel better now, I've had my little rant. Got it off my chest. Anyway, I do still look forward to both our clubs seasons and I do wish you the best.
All we've had on here is Swans fans ranting as if we make these deals I never had an issue with your club, just the opposite. There has been a connection going back decades. Shame if this spoils it but its not like we've stolen manager or player...you're getting excellent money for both. Invest it wisely and you could be set for years. Its hard losing players we love watching (my 5 year old daughter had a teddy previously known as Nando...took me a year to brainwash her into believing he's actually called Luis ). What you guys have to get your head round though is that the more success you have the more other teams will be sniffing about in future. Tat least the money you get from us will allow you to compete better with regards to future transfer fees and wages etc. That's life in the big league.
Yes it's a lesson learned. I guess most of the Swansea fans haven't realised that it is just business. We're just not used to this level of enquiry of our players. When I came on earlier, giving abuse; my frustration had be building for weeks. Moaning to the misses, Liverpool this, Liverpool that. Soon as I had posted I regretted it and again I apologise. We can do alot with that money, I know we have a few players in mind already. So it's looking good. Edit. We can even upgrade our stadium with that 15million. It's a nice stadium but with the demand for tickets we could fill it twice of what it is currently. 20k just too small.
How many seats will the £15m buy you though? Getting players to stabilise your club in the EPL should be the priority.
Some described me as a "gentleman among fools" and "one of the few sensible ones". Is there any chance you could round up all the Liverpool posters and agree on whether I'm enlightened or a twat?
Well there has been talks for a 10k upgrade, not sure how much that would cost. We are also building a new academy/training facility. The money will go along way to helping us build these. As regards to players well we have always bought cheap from abroad(mostly Spain) and used home-grown players. I'm not sure we should change this model. Every year we spend a little more on players. Last season our biggest ever buy was 3.5million for Danny Graham. We were willing to spend 7million for siggy. But as of yet 3.5million is still our record.
Because our Chairman stating it, Brendan stating it and multiple media outlets stating it isn't enough right? In what format do you wish to receive a copy of this contract?
I reckon you will have another decent season. Reality is second year can be harder but a new manager/tactics etc may help as you become an unknown quantity again. Top Prem managers are there for a reason (apart from Fat Sam the arse licking ****) and they have a tendency to learn the strengths and weaknesses of newly promoted clubs pretty damn quick
Funny, the only person who has mentioned anything about a clause stipulating he can't sign players is your chairman, the press printed that. Your chairman even said that "We have got some protection, which I think is the right thing,", that doesn't say Rodgers isn't allowed to sign any players.
Can I just say, if there was any issues or illegal acts involved in us signing Allen John Henry would never have allowed it.
