It's seems to be that most football fans are talking about it the least amount are Swansea City fans? Are we not bothered? Is it just more spin when it was needed? Is it something and nothing? |  |

He has invested money in his name and it isn’t just a few million. |
Thank you it's just not what I have been told. But your information is probably better sourced. |  | | |

I don't want to fall out mate. But with all the cost cutting at the club and people losing their livelihoods any investment is welcome. What we don't want is senior management massaging their egos. If Modric has invested his own money and his profile will generate income it's brilliant. But if this is not the case and they now have a shareholder who currently invested or provided nothing questions have to be asked. |
With respect, Keith has told you the general answer 9 minutes before this post, which should be enough for us ?
Obviously he cannot divulge exactly what he knows, which is understandable |  |

Thing is if the commercial minds at the club and I include Jason and Brett who made this happen can’t make this a success they should be out of work. |  |

Hard to find anything to be negative about, having a world renowned figure like Modric has got to be a good thing.
Looking forward to seeing some Croatian flags on Friday 😉 |  |

I mean I’m not saying it’s millions because it isn’t. It’s more about the commercial side.

Hopefully they will and I really mean that, but in recent years our commercial side has been abysmal from ground level up. Things need to change, this could be a massive step in the right direction, let's wait and see. | | | |

I have a Croatian shirt from our trip to osijek in 2019.
Great people, met a few in a bar before the game, we went back to the same bar after the game and never bought a drink.
This news is going to start a revival, you watch 😉 |  | | |

I was just told that there is no financial investment but a comercial commitment in exchange for a share holding. You have stated that he has invested his own money which as I say I accept, but it is different to the information I was provided. You have far better contacts than me so I stand corrected. | | | |

Well mate I see it like this. The pair of them got this done (Jason and Brett), that’s decent nouse, and they have a plan, and it isn’t just money. There are already a few agreed revenue opportunities. Seeing him in a Swansea shirt isn’t in the plan atm, nor managing the side. It’s an investment he has signed up to and I’m pretty certain it won’t be the last. Others will be looking at the way we treat Modrić and the way we look after him.
This will add to the transfer budget too. Not massively. I’ve heard speculation on how much but that’s not for now. New investment isn’t a part of profit and sustainability.
This investment is mostly down to commercial opportunity in the main.
Anyone who thinks he’s worth just 75M are reading the internet too much, they may as well believe Darling when he signed from MKD put on £19,500 a week. Who would do that 😂 Naughton and Allen’s salary speculation is hilarious too. You can add Pedersen to that, that’s inflated.

This tells me he wants to play with super Joey….
‘ No-one should be expecting Modric to make a summer move from Spain to the centre of Swansea's midfield, regardless of the fact that his contract with Carlo Ancelotti's side is up at the end of the season.….’
His contract is up and he loves the Swans….!!!
Go get him Huw …. 🦢 |  |

As I have said all day let's wait and see. I really don’t trust Gorringe. |
Not sure what the link with Gorringe is here? Luka is a new investor/part owner. Gorringe is an employee of SSFC. Trust him or not I can't see the connection or cause for concern? |  | | |

That sits more with what I expect it to work out as. A small stake which could potentially increase in value in return for promotional work or "influencing" via social media channels.
To tie back into what Keith said, I'd expect others to be targeted for similar deals. Get enough important people out there tweeting or intagramming about us, or media sources talking about the people tweeting and instagramming us, and we're immediately more attractive to sponsors and it's cost all involved little more than their time.

Well for whatever reason it can only be good for the club. He's not here to drain us because there is nothing left to be drained if he wants us to be his pet project like the Wrexham thing then so be it football has changed since my north bank days so we have to embrace him and all the razzmatazz that comes with it. At least he is someone with football in his veins and with a little bit of time who knows | |

Exactly this.
I remember about 10 yrs ago we landed in Bangkok and a taxi driver taking us to our hotel telling me more about Swansea City FC than I knew. | |

It's a different commercial ecosystem now.
One of the criticisms I had with the club when we were first in the Prem is the lack of serious effort made by the commercial department (led by Dineen at the time I think) in really capitalising on the explosion of interest in us.
This is a way of potentially kickstarting that kind of interest again. Modric has 37m followers on Instagram. Nearly 6m on Twitter. Get four or five individuals like that on board and suddently you're talking serious reach. | |

Disappointing thread this.
I get that there is a lack of trust between some fans and the new ownership.
But the negativity is draining.
Cannot imagine going onto other clubs forums and reading so many miserable responses. |
I agree.
There's lots we don't know and some or all will come out in time. But this definitely benefits the Club. There can be no question about that.
We're having a really positive end to the season which many of us didn't expect. If AS carries this on to the end of the season that will take us really positively into the close season. And who knows how having Luka involved will benefit us then.
Let's just enjoy it all. | | | |

Totally agree the ones running the show then were totally out of their depth, tired and were struggling towards the end that's why they cashed their chips in and sold the golden goose but that is ancient history now.
Football keeps moving look at Wrexham look at the state of the Premier league table teams like Brighton,Brentford Bournemouth in the top half of the table above teams like Man Utd & Spurs. | |

If the plan is to involve 'influencers' with a hope of more sponsors getting involved then positivity on the football side is essential. Which means the manager and squad.
No sponsor would want to be involved if they see that we are having yet another shambolic close season and limping into another relegation dogfight. | | | |

maybe the reluctance by some to bring out the flags is based how many false dawns have we had since relegation, I for one hope its the start of a new beginning but only last week how many were criticising the board for cancelling am official coach to Sunderland or the fact that despite the recent positive displays & results AS and ourselves have no idea of who the next manager will be .
I hope it is the start but my understanding is that investors tend to want a return on their investment ,just hope this isn't going to cost the Club in the long run .
Welcome Luka, a wonderful player & hopefully a smart businessman who's seen the potential of the Club. | |
