Swans close in on Henry transfer?

[Swansea93]

Ten clubs, including #Werder and Mainz 05, are reportedly interested in Thomas Henry (OH Leuven). However, the 26-year-old French center forward is out of reach for SVW. Swansea is said to have submitted an offer for 6 million euros.

If only this quote had started with "

It’s getting reported by mostly foreign sites now, and has made their local papers.

There's a difference between spending the club's money and investing their own money. There's no evidence they've put in any money other than the loan from Silverstein (similar to the previous loans from Martin Morgan).

Anyone saying they don't spend money hasn't been paying attention. We've spent decent money pretty much every singe transfer window.

Whilst remaining pretty much debt free and being run the ‘right’ way.

Agreed. I'd say they've handled things very well since relegation, while a lot of the bad decisions pre-relegation can be laid at Jenkins' door.

The two big mistakes associated with their takeover can also be at least partially apportioned to the previous owners: the exclusion of the Trust and the talk of 'taking us to the next level' with the heavily implied suggestion that they'd pump their own money into the club.

Fair and accurate. They've got their own blame to take for going along with the secrecy and stringing along the trust since, for allowing Jenkins to continue running the club almost unsupervised, and for whatever the hell the situation was with Bradley.

As you say though, when the money has been there they've spent it, not always wisely, but they have. Hard to fault the way they've gone about righting the ship since relegation too.

Their mistakes were in allowing Jenkins to do Ayew and Bony. Clucks was a mistake that at least had some basis in logic (young, English, well regarded).

They are certainly not people I would trust but by God we could have had a lot worse given the desperation by the greedy arseholes to unload.
