    He hung himself by mouthing off to the media, and his lies have now caught up with him, It was inevitable that the Trust would put this statement out after he basically called out the Trust as being deceitful, looks like his days are now numbered, great news as I see it, he has been a liability for far too long, good riddance to the Judas.

    I agree he has to go, however the timing concerns me as the last thing we need are more excuses to delay bringing in new players. For me it might a case of better the devil you know until the end of the season.

    It is very good to see the Trust make this statement, other than Jenkins sycophants we all know how Huw Jenkins and his co-conspirators sold out Swansea City football club to opportunist Yankee venture capitalists, for personal gain, with no thought whatsoever to the supporters, Trust and city.

    We can all see the greed at work here, and no matter what pathetic excuses the chairman and his co-conspirators make, doesn't mitigate what they have done. Discontented with receiving £500,000 plus bonuses a year, they conspire to line their own pockets while slamming the door on the supporters trust, and the good people of Swansea.

    It is my humble opinion that the Trust should now reconsider the legal opinion they paid £30,000 for and follow it's direction, these men will not last two minutes under oath, time to put them in court, and get our club back to the community that saved it, people like Mel Nurse.

    Ithouhgt that the most telling thing was how before the yanks, there was no working capital and purchases had to be funded by sales in fornt. There was no overdraft cover at all and that the yanks provide this overdraft cover.

    Davies can shut his big fat greedy gob, it's shysters like him that have ruined the club, just like Jenkins blaming the Trust, you really couldn't make this up, what a bunch of scummy rats.

    I see Dineen and JVZ have been having major spats on Twitter with fans. To a point that a serious investigation into their actions need to be done.

    They both need kicked out of the club.

    Following on from my article yesterday about the facts and truths about the sale of Swansea City to the Americans, I’d like to share some further truths with fellow Swans fans.
    In light of the inaccurate comments made earlier today by selling shareholder Rob Davies – accusing the Supporters Trust of causing the damage to the club after they sold their shares to 27 American speculators.
    They all say the Trust was fully involved at the start.
    So here is a screenshot of the Memorandum of sale that the old shareholders worked with the Americans on.
    please log in to view this image

    As you can see, this document was dated 5th December 2015 – some 3 months before they had the courtesy to even inform the Swans Trust of what was happening!
    What I find even more stunning than there lies, is the fact that an agreement like this would have taken at least a good few months to work out.
    So there you have it, further proof that the everyday fans of Swansea City were PURPOSEFULLY kept out of this sale so that the selling shareholders could extract the maximum amount of money.
    More facts and truths about the Swans sale will follow soon and shed ever more light on how these 6 men put money ahead of fans and the future of our great club.

    SCSA's response
    1st January 2018 by Swansea City Supporters Alliance
    Actions Speak Louder Than Words
    It was always going to be the case that when the pressure was turned up slightly around the actions of those involved in the sale of Swansea City in 2016, the mudslinging was going to start. Unsurprisingly, we have seen plenty of mud being thrown over the weekend.
    From the opening salvo of the “An Audience with Huw Jenkins” gambit which many members of the press reported on Friday afternoon without any sort of critical questioning of some of the outlandish and untrue statements he made, to the Supporters Trust’s excellent statement yesterday, it has become clear that both sides want to put across their side of the story and that those stories differ greatly.
    There has also been the usual and tiresome Twitter posturing from former shareholders and their families. who block opinions they disagree with and enjoy goading supporters, which at best seems inconsistent with their roles as either employees of the club or, in some cases, self-styled “ambassadors”
    And the New Year started no differently, with former shareholder Rob Davies wading in by claiming that the actions of the supporters will send the club into the abyss. He also claimed that the Trust was offered £20m in March 2016, and delayed its response.
    Put simply, this offer was never made. Speaking on the story that broke today, Phil Sumbler – who was reported as attending the alleged meeting with Nigel Hamer representing the Trust – stated “There was no shareholders meeting in March 2016, a comment categorically denied by the Supporters Trust yesterday.
    “It is true to that I did once attend a shareholders meeting with Nigel on behalf of the Trust. That was on 5 November 2014 and it was in the early stages of the discussions around a potential deal with Charles Noell and John Moores. This meeting was reported by the Trust in February 2015 at a forum at the Liberty Stadium.
    “It is simply not true to state that there was a meeting in March 2016, outside of those already outlined by the Trust, and it is laughable that there has been a claim that there was a £20m offer made for the Trust’s shares. It is frustrating that whilst the supporters’ organisations are dealing with facts and evidence, the media is allowing other shareholders to make untrue allegations unchallenged and with no substance or proof.”
    “The events of this time have been set out by the Trust based on when things happened and the whole detailed timeline, together with all relevant correspondence, was handed to Counsel as part of the legal advice that was sought.”
    “I suspect there will be further claims made, but the evidence made public so far shows that the Trust wrote immediately to all shareholders as soon as they were told about the sale, despite the fact that the Trust was told several months too late. This correspondence did not receive the courtesy of any reply other than a draft term sheet sent by the Chairman.”
    “I have no doubt that this is part of a coordinated and concerted campaign by the former shareholders to discredit the Trust and others who were involved at the time but are no longer part of the Trust board. But the facts are there, and I am sure that the fans will judge these based on what they see and hear which is all that can be asked for.”
    “The simple fact is that there was clear collusion between the sellers to keep the particulars of the sale away from the Trust until matters were virtually complete and no amount of revisionism will ever change that.”
    The Swansea City Supporters’ Alliance continues to believe that it is time to formally cut all ties with all past shareholders so that the club and supporters can unite once more, despite the divisions that have been caused by the manner in which the club was sold.

    Fans trying to influence other fans that they have any influence in the club is a joke......They have none is the reality. They like all shareholders are the minority and together dont come close to the Owners who own most of the club and what they decide is the only thing that matters.

    From Rob Davies -
    "Nobody could force the Trust to sell, it was entirely their choice to do so or not.
    Given their absolute confirmation that they would never sell negotiations quite properly proceeded without them. There is no obligation to keep shareholders informed.
    "After months of negotiation an agreement was reached and a first draft of that agreement was produced by the Purchasers on 13 March, 2016."
    "The draft agreement was immediately circulated to all shareholders (including the Trust)
    "The Trust refused to engage officially."

    Same story , same bullshit so I'm not sure of what point your trying to make but the one I'll make , other than yet again he's either oblivious that there was/is a signed shareholders which details the process to follow should any shareholder wish to sell so to say there was no obligation to keep shareholders informed is non sense.


    Huw must be getting more than nervous by now .is he ?

    Davies is putting out the same bullshit as Jenkins, his version of events just doesn’t stack up with the facts, they must be getting worried that their scam is becoming widely seen, I really think these cowboys should be put in court by the Trust, the legal opinion we paid for, was strong for court action, just hope we get to vote again for court action.........<ok>

    I reckon the day of reckoning is coming faster than we thought. Everything which Jenkins and now Davies have stated have been refuted not only with words but supported by documentation , it's obvious having millions in the bank is no precursor to common-sense or having a plan on how to cover their tracks .Big mistake .:emoticon-0148-yes:
