    Out in the media that the deal will be done within a week .........10 days after it was announced that 4 months of secret meetings have brought agreements ......out of the blue .
    The trust thrown to the curb basically , the same trust that was instrumental to catching the club in a tumble and propping it back into possibilities . A bit panicky and sad at this end .
    Hopefully it works out well if it's bound and determined to happen I guess .

    So you saved the Club ? I'm no intention of getting into a playground scrap about who's dads bigger etc , FairPlay to ALL who took up the mantle and made sacrifices for the Club as we all did in our own ways , some large some small contributions I would imagine based on what we could afford at the time .so please don't give it large as if you were the only one .I've asked you specific questions which you've continually failed to answer.
    Your silence is enough .

    Speed is essential I would imagine in the minds of those involved . less chance to review whats on offer (nothing that I can see ) and to form any opposition groups who feel the need to become active should they wish.The meeting tonight should be interesting and hopefully informative .

    Interesting that the DC guy talks about the fans being kept out of the loop. Isn't that already happening under our current ownership?

    Funny how Jenkin's and the board were your targets for stupidity since Monk was axed , complained about everything the " Board " was doing or not doing .
    Suddenly ,, the board announces that secret talks have been going on for four months and they are going to make the deal go through 10 days or so after the sudden announcement , and you're saying trust these sudden genuis type board members ?

    Well you had better hurry up and accept our new owners as there is nothing you and me can do now.....welcome to Swansea i say and good luck with your plans for the club....<ok>

    The sale of Swansea City to American businessmen Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan will be concluded within a week.

    Sky Sports News HQ understands more than six months of negotiations will be concluded in the days following the Swans' visit to Newcastle this weekend.

    Levien and Kaplan are purchasing a controlling stake in a deal worth approximately £110m - and will invest between £30m and £50m in the Liberty Stadium, training facilities and playing staff.

    Fantastic news.......:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    <laugh>I's this the same roof you slag off every post <laugh> do me a favour accept the board have not rushed into things and been in negotiations for 6 months or more so its very highly unlikely they have gone into this with their eyes closed..........You need to deal with this as it's eating you away with anger <laugh>

    Breaking news from Trust Meeting:

    The US group looking to takeover Swansea City look set to accept a re-structured deal, it can be revealed. The initial talks had been centred over the group - led by US sports business executive Jason Levien and private equity expert Steve Kaplan - taking around 70% of the club’s shares. But further talks this week have seen a change of original plans with the group now prepared to look at buying a reduced figure of 60% of the current shares.

    It is thought that it would mean more of the current Swans shareholders retaining small stakes in the club. Levien has remained in Swansea this week as negotiations have continued over a takeover. The change of terms does not impact on the Supporters Trust who are still set to retain their 21.1% of their shares as well as their representative on the club board.

    ......... not forgetting the "Sang Saka Merah Putih" - the red symbolizes human blood and the white represents the human spirit.

    There was a rumour and I specify "rumour" that some of the share holders had a small change of heart in the amount they were selling , so perhaps the ground swell of negative opinions has had an effect ?

    Don't listen to rumors listen to the facts when they are released........Im well impressed they have been in negotiations for over 6 months so nobody is going into this blind and no stone overturned. Both sides must be keen on doing business to be in talks for that long and everything has to be seen as a good deal for everyone....well happy....
