It's all falling to pieces at the council ground

Dear God are there any of you lot who haven't got someone in the know with Swansea

Yep, pretty much all of them in reality

It's mad I know one of them is a close friend of Alan Tate ( and that's 100% true ) but he hasn't said a word on anything

This latest lot is just the pus bursting from the boil.
It's been widely known for some time that Laudrup is on his way at the end of the season.He's only stayed for the Euro nonsense cup. Jenkins gave an interview to the Guardian before the derby game and some of the tensions were made clear in that.
Having had an emergency board meeting after 'chicopops' gate they are definitely worried and as jenkins admitted himself their next choice of manager is crucial to their future. In some respects that's not rocket science but for them it's absolutely crucial.He must be wondering when they will run out of luck.
I still hear whispers about financial issues down there and will get a handle on this before too long.
I wonder if Ngog will be a Laudrup buy or a jenkins in house scouting deal?

Have you actually seen our latest set of accounts?

Touchy!
Comments on the rest of the post?

Not touchy, just asking a simple question.

As for the rest, most people are of the opinion that he'll be gone at the end of this season and that's been the case since he arrived so I don't see the issue there.



The next manager appointment is always the most important one so I don't see the issue there.

As for Ngog, no idea but he's only there as back up to Bony.

Re the financials it's only what I hear from a good source and if I get some detail I will post it rest assured.

But, come on - as for the rest of it it must be troubling. Manager known to be going. Who's coming in? Tensions in the dressing room and between board and manager.Fans moaning.

You just need a mistake at managerial level to see the whole edifice come tumbling down.

Does jenkins take a percentage on his purchases?

Well it's fairly clear from all the evidence in the public domain that your source is misguided.

The rest of it isn't troubling in the slightest. The fact the board are aware that the manager is likely to be leaving in the summer gives us a huge head start on scouting the appropriate replacement.

As for Jenkins, he is the chairman not the owner so why and how would he take a percentage of anything?

Why would jenkins take a percentage of anything?

Seriously I bet there's some kind of payback.

That's just the way football is but I still bet you he benefits financially.

I havent!! Neither would I want one.What goes on at swansea town has interest to me! Until we play you that is.But to deny that you are worried screams "BULLSHIT"to me.First double between us and only one team with a chance of pulling it off.and thats us!CCFC!

Being amongst the fifty richest football clubs in the world, if Mikie goes, we'll have no trouble getting another manager.

And, like Inter and AC Milan, we play in a council stadium. The fact that they have eleven Champions League wins, and numerous other honours, would suggest its not a bad way to run a football club.

So, are there any other straws you are clutching at that can be snatched from your grasp?

Vinnie released a bit more cash and the fans of whore fc are happy chappies again , no matter what happens with us we as fans will have our dignity and pride in our club

Ha ha another bitter one, yes you can fall down the Leagues again and go into administration screwing local business's fair play, you are right you do have a good business model, push the boat out go bust, push the boat out go bust, and it sounds like it could be third time lucky but hey you will still have your dignity and pride

As fans yes because we can say when we were nearly ruined the supporters stepped in and saved the club and those men also handed over 20% of the club back to the fans , you worshipped hammam stood by and watched with ridsdale and bent over for tan

We are a bigger club and a Capital City, so yes people want to invest in us, it's how it is we have to take the rough with the smooth just like Man City, Chelsea, Hull, Portsmouth and Blackburn, sometimes it's difficult sometimes it's brilliant, but it's never boring. Smaller clubs like you have to do it your way, simply because you haven't got a choice

Milan is a major Italian city and one of the biggest in the world when it comes to industry, especially fashion. It has a lot of potential. Swansea just about achieved city status and has nothing to offer other than its not far from the capital of Cardiff. Your best selling point is actually the city of Cardiff. The only reason you have a club and a city in the first place is because of us.

Spot on.

We are a bigger club and a Capital City, .....

That means sod all.

London, UK capital, one Champions League win.

Liverpool, Manchester, Nottingham, Birmingham are not capitals, lots of Champions League wins.

Edinburgh, capital city zero champions league wins, Glasgow one Champions League win.

Epic fail, try again.

I dont know how correct the information I was told today and early this week is, but it must hold some truth as it was from a few jacks with contacts inside the club........

Laudrup no longer speaking to Huw Jenkins
Devided changing room, British oneside Spaniards etc on the other, no one speaking
Ashley williams and Gary monk take the training sessions with laudrup looking on
The reason why chico threatend monk with a brick is that he called him a smelly spanish b*stard !!!!!!!
If all true sounds good to me.

Brilliant

Looks like they are right at the resign or be sacked stage but with a split dressing room, and we all know what happened to results after that, thank God we have moved on, it's going to be an interesting end of season and I Predict a double

Moved on !!!! Your bottom of the league playing in red you bulb

With a new Manager who the Chairman loves and a shit load of reinforcements for the final push, and all the lower end teams at home. time will tell

As long as the chairmans happy
and a shitload of reinforcements (or nobodies) that happen to have all the same agent as the manager , the word backhander springs to mind

You should know better than that. Just because you don't know anything about them doesn't mean they aren't any good. I didn't know feck all about Michu, but he turned out to be a decent player as was Vorm. They are Norwegian Internationals and every Manager gets in players they know and trust. Brenda got a load of Chelsea rejects who have served you well and Laudrup brought you in players he knew from Spain. His mate and agent, has also fallen out with your club. It sounds very similar to our previous situation with Malky, but at least we have moved on, while your club appear in disarray. As I said time will tell.
Ps still players to come in and maybe a surprise for you ...........

Michu was the highest scoring midfielder in Spain the season before he joined us and Vorm was a Dutch international

This is what I heard at the liberty Monday for the dev game, with some scouts they were all pissing themselves saying chico and monk had a bust up over Spanish orange juice apparently that's what started it not sure about the brick though. Regarding Laudrup common knowledge hardly ever turns up for training the 1st team when he does always late FACT from a 1st ream player

What and your proud of that, your Manager rarely turns up and when he does he's late ???

Not good, if you're not worried about that you should be, that says it all

You makes me laugh aye.

Anyhow you lot were going on about us playing a a council stadium. Now you want to shift the goal posts and brag about size. If we are going to argue about size, then Cardiff is not amongst the largest two thousand cities in the world. But SCFC is amongst the fifty richest clubs in the world, which on football terms (this is a football forum) means we are punching way above our weight. If football success was dependant upon population, neither city would have a premier league side. And thats the truth of it.

You should be, we have just been through the same situation, and results dropped drastically, and we wouldn't have been backed in the transfer window, it sounds similar to your predicament and that's not good I assure you.......

True. However, your main selling point is us which is why you sell goods at Cardiff International Airport because you do not possess one. Is Huw or a major investor going to build one in Swansea? I doubt it. These external offerings all offer attraction to potential investors or owners. They want growth and want to invest in something where they can maximise profits. Tell me how they can get that at Swansea please. You have no economic hub in Swansea and your town is notoriously known for many socio-economic issues which doesn't present a very good picture. Cardiff meanwhile has an International Airport, of which ill admit is doing poorly, is closer to cities like London, Birmingham and Bristol and has a growing economic centre and offers much more as a whole. It also has a very attractive bayside area that is of course going to set investors on red alert.

Football clubs are businesses these days and investors want the whole package. They want to own hotels and want to offer package holidays to fans flying in from abroad to stay there and experience the game and get them hooked. The fact your stadium is owned by the council is also a massive issue for you yet you seem to be unable to understand that its not. Your stadium is not yours and is not an asset of the clubs and therefore any potential investor will be put off by the fact they do not have control of that stadium in its complete form. Its great for you from a traditional point of view because the council can reject any applications it damn well likes but from a USP point of view its ridiculous. Investors want to own things and they want full control, especially the new types who like to make changes and impose themselves upon already established businesses. The fact you do not own your stadium hinders that.

You seem to be under the impression that we would like a major investor.

This shows a complete and utter misunderstanding of everything the club stands for and how we work.

Local club owned by local people and fans. Long may it continue.

anyway not going to spend anymore time on you..billy liar

im going to have a bowl of coco pops.

hope a bystander dont call the OB eh

Proper bellend!

BELLEND..? bit of a risk taker eh..........the police have been called for far less aparently

No risk at all in calling you a bellend, mate. Absolute cert!

pmsl...only a nerd wud bother on another teams forum..go eat you pops

You seem to be under the impression that we would like a major investor.

You'll never reach the top then in this league or compete. You need to spend big in this league to compete as proven over the last few years. I admire your traditionalist ways but your lack of ambition is appalling.

Dear God you're thick, I didn't say because we are the Capital City of Wales, with only one team representing them (unlike England that has about eight) we would win more Champions League titles you tool.

I said because of that reason and the potential fan base we are significantly more attractive to investors than you, that brings with it positives and negatives, but the positives outweigh the negatives, which is why you are so bitter, it's been bred into you Cardiff gets everything

I'm well aware that we'll never reach the top of this league. It's something that probably wouldn't happen even with major investment. That's not a lack of ambition, it's realism.

You call it selling your soul because you'll never be given the chance to gain major investment. That's why you're so bitter. Put it this way, if Huw was offered £100m to change you pink then he would take it because he's a businessman. So much for your traditionalist views. He's a businessman first and foremost and if he wasn't he wouldn't be taking dividends out of the club now would he? He would reinvest it as he would have the clubs best interests at heart.

NJ73, sorry but you're falling behind with the times. Its a business world now and thats football in a nutshell. Rightly or wrongly thats the way it is. Your club is no different believe me. We'll all eventually fall victim to the Sky and Premier League monopoly.

It has to be because no one is interested in investing in you. If Abramovich announced he wanted to leave Chelsea as he wanted to live in some poxy little town with no shops and swimming pool you would be all over him like a rash

True. However, your main selling point is us which is why you sell goods at Cardiff International Airport because you do not possess one. Is Huw or a major investor going to build one in Swansea? I doubt it. These external offerings all offer attraction to potential investors or owners. They want growth and want to invest in something where they can maximise profits. Tell me how they can get that at Swansea please. You have no economic hub in Swansea and your town is notoriously known for many socio-economic issues which doesn't present a very good picture. Cardiff meanwhile has an International Airport, of which ill admit is doing poorly, is closer to cities like London, Birmingham and Bristol and has a growing economic centre and offers much more as a whole. It also has a very attractive bayside area that is of course going to set investors on red alert.

Football clubs are businesses these days and investors want the whole package. They want to own hotels and want to offer package holidays to fans flying in from abroad to stay there and experience the game and get them hooked. The fact your stadium is owned by the council is also a massive issue for you yet you seem to be unable to understand that its not. Your stadium is not yours and is not an asset of the clubs and therefore any potential investor will be put off by the fact they do not have control of that stadium in its complete form. Its great for you from a traditional point of view because the council can reject any applications it damn well likes but from a USP point of view its ridiculous. Investors want to own things and they want full control, especially the new types who like to make changes and impose themselves upon already established businesses. The fact you do not own your stadium hinders that.

You seem to be under the impression that we would like a major investor.

This shows a complete and utter misunderstanding of everything the club stands for and how we work.

Local club owned by local people and fans. Long may it continue.

you have been owned by local people throughout your history,give or take, and to be honest, not been happy hoppers until you got promoted..so yes at the moment you are the model club........but havent always been.....and will you in the future,or will you crave investment?
