    Players have to take some responsibility imo.....I hate them in the press stating the bleeding obvious like we must turn the corner etc....But the ones who to blame are the owners and Jenkins,,,,They are the ones letting a useless manager stay at the club and making us a laughing stock......There is no hope now as far as im concerned as it is predicted we will struggle to get 24 points or probably less.points......Sunderland were better than us and they went down and look at them now......and Hull also........

    I don't blame the players, it's not their fault they're not good enough. I blame the big nosed bastard who signed them.

    I'll never accept the Swans playing in blue - the game in Preston was nearly ruined for me.

    100% right and if he doesn't go first he'll be choosing the next manager as well.

    Collie's a total arse-wipe. Populist stuff from a wife-beater. If you can't find a better champion of your cause than that... it's time to chuck it in. Your Yanks have been taken in by the very man who is cocking it all up now. He's laughing all the way to the bank and even further. Can't see the yanks getting anything out of South Wales except a lesson in doing better due diligence. Little in the way of assets and whilst you got a good cashflow from the summer trading, I wonder how much will be left after operational expenses?

    Blue...The yanks have more than doubled their money already, They are on a nice little earner and will be here until that is exhausted and not worth it anymore....Jenkins is in with that deal making money....

    Populist in what way ?, our demise is not being currently reported by our "local" let alone national media so let him speak and what he says is true . The Club still has saleable assets , If the yanks thought they had been stitched up by Jenkins then why haven't they stopped paying him over half a million per annum or made sure that he stands to profit from an extra 5 million quid's worth of shares if the deal on the table is signed by the Trust . A clear profit made last summer of over 35 million , no the yanks are fully up to speed on how to make money and they have and will until the wells dry with or without Jenkins.

    Dai! I'm intrigued by your calculation of how they've doubled their money. They bought something for 60 m. but I haven't seen where their slice of the club is now worth 120 m. And although the club made a transfer cash excess of 35 m., I haven't seen the accounts that show the net profit was anything like this and that then a big slice was paid out in dividends. And that is the only at they can get dosh out except for management charges or loans that would, anyway, have to be repaid if they sold or went bust. Of course, Jinks get his salary for what he does for you...but that's a different thing.
    (MBSL- I used 'populist' and should have said provocative, I guess... or maybe even plain dumb. It's how he works to get a response for his chat programme. There are good and bad US and other owners. Much depends if they get involved for love or money. Your lot seem to be in it for the money but don't know how to make it.)

    This is what our dumbo owners are looking at using Championship Manager as their scouting platform:

    Daniel Opare
    Age - 25
    Nationality - Ghana
    Club - RC Lens
    Position - D/WB R
    Injury Proneness - 55%
    Ability - 3.5
    Potential - 3.5

    Value - £2m - yummy, nice and cheap
    Compare too

    Kyle Naughton
    Age - 28
    Nationality - England
    Club - Swansea
    Position - D/WB RL, M R
    Injury Proneness - 25%
    Ability - 4.0
    Potential - 4.2

    Value - £11m

    Oh! dear <doh>
    If we're not careful pretty soon we're going to be 'done' under the trades description act and for bringing the game into disrepute for fielding a mutant football team while calling ourselves a Premier League Football Club.

    Possible January signings,

    Who I'd like to see in a Swans shirt:
    Nacer Chadli, Jonathan Viera, Aleix Vidal

    Talk in the press linking Swans to:
    Jan Boril (Average), Alessio Da Cruz (far too young, ok for U23's), Siriki Dembele from Grimsby Town (Please stay there), Andre Ayew (no thanks) and Opare as above


    Who I don't want to see in a Swansea Shirt
    Renato Fekkin Sanchez, Andre Ayew and Siriki Dembele


    What you reckon? any more names for the pot?

    While he refused to be drawn on any speculation, Clement insisted that attacking reinforcements remain his top priority.

    "The guys from the communication department wrote down a list of names we have been linked with, and it’s a good list. I am not going to comment on individual players, there are some I have not heard of.

    "The priority is the front positions, players that can create. That has been low, we are not creating loads and not converting. We are not creating much or scoring much.
    "We have got six games to go through December to get some valuable points on the board," he added. "Once we have done that we can look at what we need to do in January. I hope and believe I will be the man to do that."

    Christ on a ******* bike.
    What is the point?

    I believe his 1st comment was a sarcastic dig at the media
