Along come a consortium of local businessmen who, by hook or by crook manage to get control of the club away from the crazy Aussie, they look at the finances and see a way to solve the problems that have been underlying at the club for nearly two decades so they seek the creditors agreement.
Just over a decade later, you are playing in the top division and on the verge of a cup final... Now if this story had happened to Cardiff and not Swansea, it would be you lot pinching yourselves and wondering if it had really happened. No Swans fans will argue that we have a chequered financial past, and we should always remember the lessons learned, but importantly, those lessons do appear to have been learned and we find ourselves where we are today. You would be celebrating your achievements as well, in the same way we are.
I guess in that respect you're the same as us. People take the piss for many of our fans accepting, albeit reluctantly, the rebrand, yet how can you blame us when we've had years of dodgy owners and uncertainty about our future? Many people, including me, are sick of worrying about what's round the next corner for our club, whether it will even exist or not, and if it does exist what state it will be in. I've been a Cardiff fan pretty much from birth, and before Tan came I've only ever known owners that want to ruin our club. There comes a time when you just want to enjoy the football and forget about the off field stuff.

My opinion was that you were unfairly critical on Arsenal, which is why I offered my opinion. Entirely entitled to do that.
You are really bitter and jealous Barry, Really funny, you hate it don't you?
