Huw interferes? Or the board of swansea city sack a manager who's team is under performing?
Tan interferes? Or the board of Cardiff city sack a manager who's team is underperforming?

No idea, but as far as I'm concerned our BOARD made the right decison. The vast majority of swans fans agree with that decision by the BOARD. Did Tan sack an under performing manager or were you performing to par?

its the hand that fate gave you, not some master plan, had there been a very wealthy man around at the time you wouldnt have this set up now......its the opposite with us, the messs the club was in was too much for a Swansea type consortium, so we gwt Tan..........

Thats because you carried on spending when you were in a perilous position - we didnt.

I dont think the club ever got itself into £130m of debt or whatever it is you are in.
Im not pretending we have a superb record. However for the last 11 years we have cut our cloth accordingly and been the model of professional well run clubs. You have had so many chances to learn lessons, clear up your act and failed each time. Your demand for instant success is insatiable and it gets matched with suitable chairmen who plunge you further into debt.
Tan relented on nthe rebrand and the projected £100m loans and you all went bananas and begged him to make the U-turn - to which he did.

Not quite true. We paid Hammam off with an agreed deal, not the full amount owed. Not too dissimilar to Swansea method in all honesty.

in reality if the club had even doubled the cl;oth it cut youd never have gone up one division let alone 3........spend spend spend...........and the of course 11,000 in the top flight..........football has moved on..the figures have multiplied over and over .. but for a none sense rise to the top you own the model for that too...........

Totally different. Hammans debt was dodgy to say the least!!

You are talking 30 odd years ago man.![]()
Football has moved on as you say. We are talking about the here and now. Sanctions have been put into place to curb this, clubs have gone bust and penalties brought in for those that fail to comply. If lessons are to be learned they were then.
As a result we are well run. You in the other hand seem to go from bad to worse. That £50m splurge on players was ridiculous, as is the extension probably. You arent in a position to be able to do this, and this is why you are taken advantage of, time and time again.
If some billionaire foreigner came in wanting to buy us we would chase him back to where he came from. The minute your chairman starts writing cheques the club cant afford is the minute you do everything you can to oust him..... Yet instead you ask for more.

Not different at all. You claimed we paid our debts in full, which isn't true. Neither club fully serviced their full debts & came to agreements with creditors for its payment.

Haven't claimed otherwise. To claim that Cardiff City paid their debts in full though, is incorrect.

I know, we still didn't pay off our debts fully though.
To have a go at Swansea Coty for not paying their debts in full, when Cardiff didn't either, stinks of double standards.

To suggest that we serviced the total of our debts, when we didn't is also bonkers.
