    Thanks Dai, for letting us all know who owns our club, its the Americans, thanks for that <ok> but we knew already

    What we are doing is trying to work out their intentions Dai, what are these patronizing, condescending, asset stripping, American ****s doing to our club and why, Dai.

    I think the only reason the yanks are here is to convert every competitive asset the club has into accessible cash to be extracted as dividends and deposited in the tax haven, off-shore bank accounts of the ghosts who make up the invisible consortium Huw Jenkins and his gang, gave the club to.

    So, in a different way Dai, I say again, I think the Yanks are here to take the financial value from OUR club and put it in their pockets.

    Care to join in the debate Dai? no gin soaked, snide, remark need reply Dai, just a strait forward point of view, what do you, Dai, think the American want for OUR club? What future do they see?

    Dai told me that 90% of Swans fans are idiots and that he’s glad that he’s in the other 20%.... <laugh><laugh>

    Sorry Dai - only a joke. <cheers>

    Listen to our fantastic saviours ...you know it makes sense......If we listened to most of you muppets we would not have a club to support in a very short time...AND THAT'S A FACT....

    I'm looking forward to meeting him in the Plough on Saturday.
    Having never met the chap before I am sure I will spot him in his clowns hat and red nose.

    Dai - I don’t think any / many on this Not606 Board have advocated profligate expenditure, far from it posters clearly, in my opinion, recognise and understand that given the huge reduction in Revenues, we have to cut our cloth accordingly.

    Has anyone suggested that we should be going out and paying tens of millions of pounds on players?

    Fans’ expectations have been lowered. I suspect that most also recognise that further cuts will have to be made over the next couple of years when the parachute monies run out.

    However, there are a number of factors that have caused and continue to cause concern

    A) Huw and the (old) Board stated that they would be responsible ‘sellers’. Has that been proven to be the case? A once ‘model’ club is now not viewed as such by the wider football world.

    B) Huw and the (old) Board stated that the Club needed investment to move to the next level. That implies that Additional investment into the Club was the requirement. The Yanks took control by buying shares from private individuals - not via a Share Issue which would have seen cash injected into the business. Have the 27 Yanks put their hands into their pockets and either subscribed for new share capital or made any (term) loans to the club?

    Given the above, would the football club be any worse off today if the old Shareholders had remained owners in charge?

    Besic has gone back on loan to Middlesbrough, so we won't be seeing him.

    This is what has got the backs up of most discerning Jacks, the treachery of stitching up the club and supporters for personal gain, under the cover of 'investment into the club' to take us to the next level ............................<ok>

    I think the article today about Liverpool is very apposite. Here, the yanks bought for 300 million but have invested in the club and allowed it to grow. Some value the club at 1.49 bn. and there is an (apparent) offer for 2 bn. THAT's growing a club. But they haven't sold but are willing to take on a minority interest if it expands the club....presumably into the Middle East and China, based upon the ownership. Your Yanks are just a mixed group having a bit of a laugh and hoping for the big payout without putting anything into the club. Your former owners just dipped their wicks and ran.

    I think our lovely Yankee Doodle Dandies and Huge Enkins think we are strong enough as we are, or they will say as much to avoid spending any more than they have to.

    Eight points from the first four games is music to their ears. When we start suffering injuries, getting four points from eight games (if wer`e lucky) and slipping down the table, it`ll be "oh well that`s the way the cookie crumbles", let`s grab the cash and do a runner.

    Don’t really understand why we’re loaning a 20yr old whose only had some Championship experience. I hope Rodon keeps his spot so we develop players we actually own

    I get the impression that Potter doesn't want older players.

    That would be applying logic to our transfer dealings, which is totally out of the question! Perhaps he's a back up to van der Horn/Rodon?
