Hamer Attacks Club

“I believe the time is right for a new infusion of blood because I think the club needs people at the helm with enthusiaism and a belief and a love for Swansea City.”

Speaking on local radio, he added: “I would really like to see people there who can take the club forward and hopefully climb back to a respectable position in the football league.”

The former chairman spoke of the contradictions from current chairman Neil McClure and chief executive Mike Lewis regarding buying and loaning new players.

“They are not speaking as a united or unified voice down at the Vetch,” said Hamer. Hamer said he believed McClure, acting on behalf of Ninth Floor shareholders, would put the club up for sale in a statement expected soon.

“The players are good enough and the manager has won a championship so there’s nothing too wrong there. I think we can achieve results.

“I am keeping a close interest on what happens down at the Vetch.

“I don’t waver in my commitment to see the club enjoy success and it hurts me to see match reports when we have been beaten.

“I have an interest and obviously if the club is put on the market that interest will be magnified.”

Meanwhile, Swansea’s players are preparing for tomorrow night’s visit of Reading in the LDV Vans Trophy southern section quarter-final (7.45). Victory would leave the Swans just two games away from a trip to the Millennium Stadium for a showpiece final.
