I was right and the new board came to the same conclusion. Venezuelans have allegedly voted democratically for Maduro but that does not meen it was the best option for Venezuela.

If that was the case there were legal measures that could have taken there and then which lawyers can explain. Sadly for them they did not even know the views of the members at that time.

K&L appear to have the Trust locked in on the recent change of ownership.

How many shares have the Trust sold over the last 22 years.? The answer is nil. That FACT speaks for itself.

It is British exceptionalism. UK footballers are the only ,players in the world that can represent two countries and two separate flags at the same time.

One can imagine perhaps the Russian federation along with some African allies demanding to end this privilege and demand action to give an either or option but not both.

Welsh teams play in English leagues as a historical to legacy.. It is an anomaly.

The Coleman plan is Welsh exceptionalism where Welsh teams can play in cup tournament s within two different leagues.

Most fans like things as they are with engrained anomalies.

The last thing Swansea city and Wales need is the authorities looking at these anomalies and make attempts by democratic processes to unify the national teams and or force Welsh team into Welsh leagues .

The national teams of UK is an anomaly and a privilege as it Swansea playing in the English leagues. Team GB is a logical solution and fits the UN definition of a country. Sadly it already exists. We do not want FIFA to force a solution to these anomalies as we currently already have special privileges other countries might resent..

All the other owners made millions. The Trust made nothing. Why? Because the members had no personal benefit and the other owners did. The committee system failed to function.

It failed to function due to an absence of strong individuals with a concern for their communal welfare.

Look at the various bank balances. The Trust should have at least £10m in the bank. They failed. Excuse the ave been shown to be worth nothing as seen with the Trust climb down in 2023 which was inevitable.

Business is a tough place and cash is king. 21% ownership is heading to 5% fast. Only a fool would say they played a good hand..

I remember the brutal racist slurs of two Welsh boxers who went up there to fight.

Lee Selby and Liam Williams. It was so crass that YouTube had to censor it. Selby lost to Warrington and Williams flattened Hefron.

They will be quite happy. Swansea or other clubs have other distractions from the league hella then out.

I do not think Eufa will approve it. They dragged the FAW to form a league while the " exiles" objected to join. Bangor Rhyl Colwyn Bay, Barry Merthyr etc.

Losing qualification for Europe in the English system means not a lot.

Maths for me not the Yankee math. The Trust get clout from cash to be invested or good friendly relations. The Trust 2015 -2018 are responsible for some really bad calls.

The Trust are taken too seriously. Their specialisation is £590 murals and gates. They have created a stink but I am struggling to see any upside in their presence.

So did they want to sell or not. A Yes or No.

They stated " they would consider selling"..

If I came to your house to look at your car and you told me that I would say "do not waste your time with this lot".

My understanding is sound. I understand selling anything is difficult and at the very least needs a willing seller and a willing buyer. There was no willing seller.

It is incredible they could not a cut a deal rapidly in four months s of talks at £1m per 1%. If I was a member I would be hoping mad and not at the buyer. The Trust members are weak.

Bianchini and Vipotnik are improving and must be given room and time in the pitch to develop. Abdullai needs to play box to box mobile midfielder. Parker and Govea used as subs injecting pace. Ginnelly is on of the few that lets fly from distance.

The Swedish attacking midfielder can slot in and Ollie Cooper is due back shortly after his Wales heroics.

Sadly both Ayew brother have a reputation for choking in the big games for Ghana. Andre on huge money missed a penalty v Brentford before scoring in the game the Brentford player was sent off.

The spectre of crass media bias was there for all to see after pundits from old London town claimed the full back with a long run up lunge put both the ball and Connor Roberts into the stand and was harshly treated. Cooper did not go for the throat v 10 men. 1-0 up.

From Yahoo sports

" The Spanish manager is considering recalling Alphonse Areola to the starting line-up after he missed the last three games due to injury.

While Areola enjoyed a decent spell last season, his performances have been far from impressive this term.

The Frenchman has been a major contributor to West Ham’s defensive woes, with his error-prone displays and poor decision-making costing the team dearly. "

Davies and Allen came from the CoE not the class 1 academy. It cost a massive £5m a year I read, and that was out of a total income of around £ 20-25m perhaps. It simple was not possible to keep.

Tne Patti pavilion was great work. I gave £5 myself for the Leon Britton appeal. Sadly the Trust became arrogant and behaving like a trade union not owners. The "old team" had aged got stale and needed to move on. Huw Jenkins warned everyone that things had to change. The Trust dug their feet in and probably became a headache for the other owners who wanted to pick the fruit of the tree they planted and cultivated.

The Trust should have understood these sentiment but did not. Their model is designed for stagnation and shrinkage unless the Americans can deliver growth.

It needs to convert to a new model with growth the objective. Jenkins and co gave them a staggering 10,000% growth but the fans call them sellouts. The sellouts were the members who asleep at the wheel when decisions needed to be made.

This project is dangerous but not as dangerous as Team GB . Both need to be binned including the women's s team.

Swansea will end up playing kids in the League cup which is the only major trophy the club has one. Even now Williams was playing the stiffs. Even Njoe an On got a kick.

The club have changed from being a local Welsh club owned by small fry ( with respect) owners and 21% by the formerly troublesome Trust to 80% owners by serious money men and 5% by a less troublesome Trust. Perhaps he is meaning this?

Sacking Guidolin was more influential. He was calm and experienced and ideal for Swansea subject to being fully healthy. Roo good to be sacked and too old to be poached. It was him who pushed for Llorente. He knew how to work upwards and influence the Boardroom. The Clement transfer fiasco would not have happened with him on charge. For the £16m Swansea paid for Clucas he could have attracted internationals.

I am very sad at the way Abdullai has been treated. He is a class above Cullen and Cooper in my opinion ghavinfg seen his exceptional performances for the u21. Ten times or so I saw him and he was excellent every time.
