Huw Jenkins... you might hate him?

But anyone watching Sky Sports 1 right now can't deny that he talks a lot of sense! (The Footballers Football Show), very good watch right now about the finances in the Premier League.

he is a good chairman in all fairness, but he does know that he's a doing good job and that there's not many chairmen like him, and he does milk the attention! him and Dave Whelan are exactly the same!

Watching. Speaks a lot of sense.

Still a gypo though.

Had a quick chat with him this morning, his house is just a couple of hundred yards from mine, he is decent enough to be honest.

should chat him into giving us Graham

Him and Daniel levy are easily the best two chairmen in the Prem.


Don't take any nonsense and keep the club's spending within its means.

People seem to think Wigan are a well run club because they don't spend much money, they're not. They've got debts similar to yours and even though the debts are owed to Whelan and are very unlikely to be called in they run on a loss every year.

He's a great chairman but the credit must go to the board for how the club has been run so well in the past 10 years.

Still a tw*t

Begs the question what would happen if we went into administration and started a fresh (not having a pop). Although the finances of the game have not doubt changed considerably in ten years I guess.

Carlos, I have heard from people within their Club(u know who) how well he has run their club financially and how well run it is behind the scenes. That I must applaud him on, but they are still NO 2 to us in support.

Support and hygiene

The Jack's had a long term strategy and stuck to it. Luckily for them, it worked better than they could ever have imagined. Managers come and go but the strategy stays in place on and off the field. Very few clubs or fans would have the patience for it. You have to respect that. It's the only way such a tiny club can prosper.

Easy for him with their success.

Wonder how he would have got on if they had missed out, or with Martin Morgan's support.

Didn't exactly make a success of his own business did he ?


For years he just made a fool of himself, so full of bitterness toward us, now he isn't harping on about that he sounds a lot better.

However I would give him credit for picking good managers - especially Martinez.

Swansea lost something in the region of £8-12 million the year they got promoted and lets be honest only a small percentage of that would have been bonuses as these figures only reflected up to May of that promotion season and most players bonus would have been small but they would have had larger increases in wages which wouldn't have kicked in until June at the earliest. Without that promotion they would have been in a similiar boat to Cardiff(although not as drastic) having to sell players to finance their debt.

also they have had advantage over lot clubs, didnt need money to build stadium, no debt as such (administration) if we were in simular position so we wouldnt be in our position now! yes they are run well but like said they have had advantage of clean slate! so cannot be compared with anyone else really, and also will it last? very thew if any run at profit, and only way to do so is to do what they are doing now, but can they keep in premier on shoe string budget for players? that is question? been lucky so far with players brought in but again can they keep doing that! time will tell. but cannot fault them in way run club.

Swansea lost something in the region of £8-12 million the year they got promoted and lets be honest only a small percentage of that would have been bonuses as these figures only reflected up to May of that promotion season and most players bonus would have been small but they would have had larger increases in wages which wouldn't have kicked in until June at the earliest. Without that promotion they would have been in a similiar boat to Cardiff(although not as drastic) having to sell players to finance their debt.

It was an £8.2m loss. The vast majority of which was down to bonuses and transfer clauses that were invoked the second the final whistle blew at Wembley.

As has been the case since this board took over, and as Huw said on the programme last night, we only spend the money we bring in.

He hasn't got a clue what he is doing.

Had he any idea he would have easily have capitalised on the potential of Swansea City.

He could have rebranded them and had their home kit a yellow like Brazil given the fluid style of football they play but no, he has no clue whatsoever.

The nickname the Swans is terrible for PR. They should have been called The Mighty Ducks to expand to America and target the Disney lovers.

A pink away kit would have targeted the ever growing female fan base.

Thankfully we have owners who are masters at brand awareness and generating income from foreign shores. Swansea will never make massive profits because only South Wales and England know of them really.

Jenkins doesn't have a clue. FACT!

Anyone know whether you can watch this online or when/if its repeated?

Watched one with Simon Jordan on few months back who also came accross well to be fair.

So you paid more in bonuses than Man City ?

Indeed, but the official accounts show the figures which back up my statement. The only reason we ran at a substantial loss was due to the bonuses and transfer clauses that were invoked that the club knew could be paid for by balancing the books the following year with the Premier League money, as it what happened.

That's how the club is run.
