Stats can be manipulated to show anything. The fact Brighton have higher attendances than us yet we don't consider them a bigger club speaks volumes.

Prior to the last few seasons neither Swansea or Cardiff had much or in fact any sort of a profile world wide. Since Swansea have got to the Prem they have been one of the refreshing bright sparks of the league, winning a major trophy and comfortably in the top 10 while about to embark on european football and boasting players touted to represent the most successful international side in history... All while playing a brand of football that has earned them plaudits from pundits and players world wide.

There's no doubt swansea are the bigger club now, it should be our ambition to not just match but better them. Promotion is the first step.

In most cases this dividend, however justified, amounts to not just a return on investment but a profit of more than 4 times the original investment. Is this just the start of the owners taking their share by riding the gravy train that PL revenues bring.

Whatever the reasons it will be interesting to see the reaction should things go wrong for the club in the future. I'm not saying it will but history says with the exception of only a few clubs few enjoy longterm stays in the PL.

It does state how much was made up from player sales, and there was £5.6 million profit after player sales which the dividend will have come from.

To be honest, I don't care about £1 million when the owners have made the club over £40 million in the last couple of years.

llan bluebird wrote:This was quite a good post until the usual morons got involved.

It is relevant to us how much Swansea made over a six month period, our owner or primary shareholder (and debt holder) have staked a lot in reaching the promised land. The jacks have ran their small club very well and the profit they made without transfers show it will take a some time to pay off our existing debts even if we stay in their for a while.


Your not going to reduce your debt without Tan writing it off, you haven't run your club sustainably in the Championship and will inevitably look to spend money to try and stay in the division. Your already likely to be paying more than us on wages when your in the Championship, so don't expect this debt to be cured when you make it in to the Premier League.

Interesting you include welsh cup wins in the head to heads when we all know the figures for proper football results.
As has been said before you talk about history, we create history.
As a fan of 32 years I am more than happy at what I have seen as a swans fan.

Years in top flight 4-0
highest league position 6th - 24th ish?
Fa cup wins 0-0
league cup wins 1-0
head to head - Cant be arsed to work out ;)
Seasons finished highest. Swansea no doubt
Wembley mill stad appearences 6 - 4

That will do me, as what happened before I was born is of little importance to me as a fan.
Although an Fa cup win would be nice to draw level with you lot and Bury and leave us a few behind old etonians!

To be honest, I don't care about £1 million when the owners have made the club over £40 million in the last couple of years.



So in 6 months £20m+ in player sales has resulted in a profit of £5.6m which means without those sales a £14m loss. The interesting term was interim dividend which normally means declared before an AGM. Hmmm

Anyway after all these years of success do you think it is morally correct that the owners of the club share £2m whilst the local council has had to write off £2.37m. Nothing to do with the debts of the previous owners this is the money the council advanced, in the form of a mortgage, to the stadium to fit out the hospitality areas. This mortgage, a loan, was held on the council annual accounts as debt, a debt that not a single penny was received in repayment and was written off when it come under the scrutiny of the Audit Office.

Swansea City have a direct relationship with the company, as a managing partner, and therefore hold a direct responsibility for the default on this loan. Is it right that directors of SCFC benefit by £2m when the public purse has to right off £2.37m because it was obvious that the stadium management company, and by association SCFC, refused to repay any money.

No, the operating profit was £5.6 million with £15 million profit from player sales. This operating profit of £5.6 million is before the cup final cash.

We've benefited £58 million to the local economy last season, and have no debt to the council. The council is very much on the side of anything beneficial to Swansea City, such as granting the planning permission for any possibly stadium expansion.

No debt to the council is correct but only after the £2.37m mortgage was written off. All this profit and the public purse suffers whilst the owners of a private sports club are filling thier bank accounts.

No, the operating profit was £5.6 million with £15 million profit from player sales. This operating profit of £5.6 million is before the cup final cash.

We've benefited £58 million to the local economy last season, and have no debt to the council. The council is very much on the side of anything beneficial to Swansea City, such as granting the planning permission for any possibly stadium expansion.


No debt to the council is correct but only after the £2.37m mortgage was written off. All this profit and the public purse suffers whilst the owners of a private sports club are filling thier bank accounts.


Real Class.

So let me get this straight, a new stadium is being built that 2 clubs have tenancy agreements for. The owner/landlord of the stadium miscalculates the amount it costs to fit it out and you're suggesting that the 2 clubs should pay for that?

errr, ok.
