Feel free to believe or not. FWIW it's broadly what I was expecting. James & McBurnie sales gave us some breathing space.

I'd say they're equipped financially as they've make significant investment into their other football club (the one they own entirely and that can't get relegated and lose half its income overnight).
They hired a football man to run the club. It's amazing to see how many Swans fans take exception to the way they're letting him get on with it with no meddling. You just know those same people would be complaining non-stop if Levein and Kaplan were seen wandering the halls pitching in. How dare these clueless yanks interfere with our Leon and Trev's work, innit. |
It’s best not to speculate about their dealings elsewhere as we don’t know facts. Undoubtedly they have money tied up in loans with DC Utd but that’s irrelevant if that precludes them from investing in Swansea City. All evidence points to them not being able to or not wanting to devote time here. It’s not their priority and is symptomatic of having fingers in too many pies. Football needs a hands on approach. It’s just not happening. |  |

What worries me here, Leon Britton.
Got him to make the statement about buying players in the summer and now this...... More cuts needed.
Looks like they have hung him out to dry.........as I expected. |

You do know what’s going to happen at the end of this season anyway, yes?
Of course we are going to acquire some players, and of course the outlook next year will remain a financial challenge. What exactly is new to you that’s caused you to freak? I think we are in better shape than I imagined while awaiting more detail. | |

To answer your 2 questions.
1. I have not got a crystal ball.
2.Nothing has caused me to freak, if the accounts had included the Mcburnie sale then you could have asked that question.
I look forward to this summer with hope. | |

So I was right all along then? There are some unhappy investors across the pond. |
Dar, these people haven't exactly ploughed their live savings into the Swans ya know. Take Mindy as an example. She has a net worth of $24m, and most of her investments would be in large corporate companies like Amazon or Microsoft where she will over time see a massive return on her investment, it's no big deal to her if she takes a chance and puts a say $200k investment into a premier league football club in the hope of a small return in a couple of years. If it pays off great! She's made a little money on a small investment, if it doesn't then she probably wont give a shite as her overall investments have made her a decent profit.
That without doubt goes for the other investors. It's like shoving a pound on a 100/1 horse who comes in last, but putting £2k on the favourite who romps home. That's basically the way people invest. |  | | |

Contracts dear boy, contracts. There’s a number of expensive ones ending, Our biggest challenge will be getting shot of Ayew. If possible for a fee. Then we have a chance of building a genuine new team. Nice as he is to have in the team, he’s just killing us financially. Selling Rodon, unfortunately, may also be necessary. I assume we have a longer term option on Guehi to cover that. There will surely be incomings, or we’ll hardly be able to turn out a team. The quality may depend on Ayew’s position. But I wouldn’t worry too much about Leon Britton. | |

Why don't you tweet Mindy Kaling and ask her? (if you're allowed now).
I would imagine some might be unhappy, others might not be that bothered. Depends how much they put in.
Investments don't always pay off. Sometimes people lose the money they put into investments. A statement that would appear to be fairly obvious yet somehow has to be repeated time and again. |

No one knows, but the common sense in me leads me to the conclusion that none of them would be that bothered, and Kaplan and Levein wont be wearing concrete boots down in Hudson Bay anytime soon.  | | | |

Birch should publish the accounts on the club website in the interests of transparency. He won't because they want to hide amortisation and interest charged to the accounts. |  |

Given the amount that was spent on shite in the PL in the last couple of seasons, plus the stupid amount of bunce spent on the wage bill (around 90% of income wasnt it?) in that division, plus all the contracts which we were still paying PL wages in the championship, i think we look to be in a pretty good position - at least better than expected.
It helps that we are still a top half/Play off team and havent completly tanked off the face of the earth a la Sunderland - which should have been our biggest fear. Lucky we had James and Olly around. The Academy/U23 coming up dividends. Can you imagine the hole we would be in if we didnt have those two players come through like they did? We would be down £40m and potentially forced to send out players on loan (Ayew) whilst still paying chunks of their salaries |  |

Wouldn’t you be unhappy if you’d invested in something and hadn’t had a return then? |
The investors have probably all given money to some sort of financial advisor who has put their money into lots of different ventures. I bet they don’t know what they’ve invested in. As long as they’re making money overall, I doubt they care about a few losses here and there. |  | | |

Well many of them have been named as investing in Swansea City in the past and if they have no idea through statements/correspondence etc of where their money has been invested there’s something chronically wrong with them,if they aren’t receiving statements/correspondence etc of where their money has been invested there’s also fraud being committed. | |

Where has the money gone?
- Transfer fees on absolute crap
- Bony’s ridiculous wages - £80,000 a year is over £4m
- Ayew’s ridiculous wages - as above
- Naughton, Dyer, Routledge, Nordfeldt, Carroll, Baston, VDH probably on at least £7m or £8m a year between them. Fer, Olsson... you can probably call that another £2m
- Paying the other 20odd players on the books
- Paying for the academy
- Manager and coaching staff costs
- The general costs of running a business of our size.
Not sure why people have such a tough time believing the money hasn’t gone somewhere suspicious |
dont forget the pay offs for the crap Managers and hanger on staff that was recruited and fired
Yes made a lot during his time did conk!! |  | | |
