The small silver lining for me is those "eight unnamed figures". Plurality of ownership will hopefully prevent the kind of crass stupidity a single owner can do. There's also an outside chance that one or more of those who have retained a small stake will be prepared to side with the Trust if needs be to provide 25% of votes.
Although obviously none of them can be relied upon or trusted to do so. Not any more. |  |

I wonder if the Trust will ever reveal which parties have behaved badly during this process. I doubt it. |  | | |

I have said it before. There is no way that one or 2 small shareholders have managed to do a deal on other shareholders shares without them agreeing. They all decided to sell ages ago and all that has happened is that the working shareholders had been told to deal with it. I doubt any one party has behaved badly. |  | | |

HJ is positively name checked there a number of times, he could have even written it himself.
Got to just get on with it now although it does show that certain people on here who have plenty to say don't have the first idea of what they're talking about. |  |

Huw Jenkins wasn't even watching the Swans when the club was rescued he was chairman of another football club and that's a FACT.
I f*cking hate bullshit and lies. |  |

Why not name names? The trust are there to report to the members, we even have representation on the club board so we as members should expect no less. | | | |

I have not got a crystal ball so would be very naive for me too say it is a good thing or a bad thing at present.
The only thing i can see from this is a lot of underhand work and secrecy from people from within the club that will take a long time to fix if ever.
I fully expect a good amount put into the team this summer(20-30M) from these guys including what we receive from sales of players. They have to make a statement early and although i know the stadium needs to be expanded, i just hope they dont play on that from day one. |  |

I love the cynicism on here. Fans of many other clubs would be flying US flags by now while bending over and offering the lube. In that respect at least we're still "not just another football club". |  |

I hope what I've just read about continuing the growth of the club isn't just sound bites, on reading that it lifts my spirits for now at least, but its all about time innit. |  |

We have been through to much to say we are just another football club and every time we have come through it.
100M does change the whole dynamics though if things go wrong this time, we are not talking thousands this time round.
I will await and see what these guys have too say first. I have had too many thoughts go through my mind in recent months on what will happen and looking for answers without little joy.........they are in and we cant do anything about it at present but we have to show dignity and listen to what they have too say first and foremost. | |

This may be a good thing, it may be a bad thing. Only time will tell.
What is for certain however is that the way in which certain individuals have gone about their business over the last six months has permanently tarnished the reputations that they could have had if things had been done differently.
That just makes me sad more than anything else. | |

Fair comment, and I suppose the fact that a lot of fans are thinking way at this stage (myself included) shows how a lot of us think this is ownership going to end (not well).
I just wonder if any of those selling shares have considered the fact that if the Americans don't do the right things by the club then the sellers will be blamed as much as the Americans themselves and they might not be welcome at the stadium by the fans on match days in future.
I'm not saying that is right but it could easily happen, they will have their new found wealth to soften the blow however. | | | |

The reported cost of buying the club.
We are not talking a thousands or even a £1, prices at the club were sold for in the past. | |

A sad day but one inevitable since the Yanks v1.0. Once the dollar signs came into view, they couldn't wait to cash out.
I've long since made my peace with change being inevitable. What matters now is the future. Those now in charge, and those departed, will be judged on that. |  |
