I'm beginning to think the owners wouldn't mind us being in L1. Probably more wins, less on wages, playing some youth, get rid of the big earners even the attendance might go back up again and less future outlay for the investors.

Small matter of the £6m loss in revenue straight away mind

Superb work.

They all look like such saps don't they (add Willy to that too), that you wouldn't trust to run a bath.

Not much of an investment then though...less future outlay isn't exactly what you dream of when you invest in something.

We will sign people today Clive, we always do

The kid from Man City will be one - but we know that our loan moves have been less than successful in the past

We may or may not get O'Brien in from Forest (I would always err caution in anything Alan Nixon says) and we will make some random signing of someone we have never heard of but it will be Portugese and somewhere the words "the new Ronaldo" will be used giving him a free pass for being largely average.

Oh and we will probably sell Harry Darling

the Swansea way

The new Ronald

Investors like a short and long term plan.. unless there is a novelty owning a football club, rising debt without any long term return is a non starter. Maybe they have to reset the whole structure of the club with a view we are currently not sustainable in the Championship with its financial overheads. It could be argued we have mismanaged recruitment and have the wrong management to improve our limited resources so something needs to give in the next week.

Maybe they'll rebrand us as DC Swansea!

Dylan Thomas called it right.

Once tonight's verdict is added to this thread, it should be renamed "Transfer Bullshit Megathread" and made a sticky, so it's always there as a reference point.

Still be adding the same content to it in 2030, probably...

That quote is very badly misinterpreted mind. It means that Swansea is actually the ultimate ambition.
