" No deal ever came, but in April of this year, the club confirmed that they were in discussions with American businessmen Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan and that this time it was for "a controlling interest."
In July, 68 percent of the club passed to the pair for a fee reported to be £110 million. "
Here was silly old blue me thinking directors (excluding Trust) were in talks, not the club. That reads as if said Yanks had invested into the club... hmm, obviously an honest mistake. |  |

"That view changed during the interview process, when candidates were asked to map out their strategy for Swansea's forthcoming clash with Arsenal. Bradley blew the competition out of the water, impressing everyone with his attention to detail."
Crying here... |  | | |

Fed up about reading stuff from the trust or its key members. I'd rather hear about what they're going to do to short the mess out we're currently in.
Agreeing that Jenkins should remain in role hasn't done anything for me in terms of believing they actually have an credibility. |  | | |

Well, that was more illuminating than 20 Trust missives.
Two questions the interviewer forgot to ask the yanks' representatives -
(1) Why did you negotiate (or go along with negotiating) the sale/purchase of the club in secret?
(2) Why did you sack our manager and bring in a yank with no Prem experience in secret?
Make that 3 questions -
(3) Where was your moral compass when you were doing (1) and (2)? [Post edited 17 Nov 2016 19:06]

Yeah I'm waiting for something to uplift my spirits at the very (miniscule) least the extremely rude, disrespectful freeloading impostor that is John Van Zweden should be denied director privilege ASAP. After all SCST is a board member and significant shareholder which JVZ is not. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating on this one.
If the Trust is strategically playing a very clever waiting game by means of 'strength-thru-silence' or to coin a phrase "speak softly, and carry a big stick." Then good but things do rather appear to be underwhelming at present. |  |

Shit article by the way, more propaganda for yanko wancko. Phil's comments were ok but then boxed off in a biased context. 'ESPN Sources'. America! F*ck yeah! |  |

Especially when they've been primed by the prospective employer for about 8 weeks to prepare. But of course they'd never heard of him, and it was just coincidence that a totally shit unachieving useless tosser yank was interviewed at all, when we already had a manager. Yeah baby! MLS! Go soccer! | |

Right.
May I add that Landon Donovan is the new owners' private on- and off-pitch personal advisor and has known Bradley [who read Jack to a King] both well and for a long time.
Donovan has not yet taken credit for this stroke of foo soccer genius. Perhaps he's waiting until Bradley takes SCFC to the league championship. [Post edited 17 Nov 2016 20:55]

You need to clarify involvement. We were informed it was happening but not consulted in the decision making process.
I know little of Paul bar being told he is an excellent coach and we will see a marked difference in the teams performance because of him being there. Proof will be in the team performances after compared to before... | | | |

When you say excellent coach, was the source the same one who said that Bradley had an awesome interview?

So theyve swatted you to one side again then, making a decision and then telling you what theyve done and you seem to be ok about it. Aren't you rather annoyed? | |

Do you know if Bob knew who Paul was prior to the appointment? | | | |

Problem is you read last weeks update as the total update of what is happening - as we explained back at the very last forum, some of what happens needs to remain behind closed doors to retain the confidentiality of discussions and you cannot play everything out in the public domain.
As was accepted widely after the last forum people understood why this should be the case and will do so next week as we work through what will be the Trust input/influence into the club because - everyone needs to remember - as we stand today the voting rights stand at more than 75% for our majority owners, something that should be remembered is not the fault of the Trust so quite why the criticism is aimed at the people who are trying to work through this mess is beyond me | | | |

I'm mildly amused by the whole article I have just read - we want to work so closely with the Trust but we don't want to be named in saying that in case we get into trouble... | | | |

Some intelligent fans did try pointing out what the purpose of the film was at the time.
Of course, any one who dared question Saint Huw back then was trolling. |  |
