The Directors fiddle while Swansea Burns

[blackflyingswan]

Let`s look at the true state of the Swans Managers. Steve Cooper,Graham Potter,Michael Laudrup,Brendon Rogers,Paulo Sousa, Roberto Martinez ALL WENT because the board whether Welsh or American could not or would not invest in their dreams for the future.Lack of foresight or (weve got no money) was the mantra in so many seasons failure to back progressive far thinking managers, has seen the DEMISE of what we all feel is our " LOVELY UGLY TOWN"
No EMOJES because it`s not a laughing matter.

What?

 

[blackflyingswan]

Are you thick or" WHAT" read and digest the post.

If owners don't have the money we will always be a stepping stone for managers , best that can be hoped for now is whoever the manager is keeps us in the championship

 

[JackFish]

So we should spend money we don't have to make sure our managers don't leave?

 

[blackflyingswan]

It was not only the money but the need by past manergers to impliment certain criteria within the running and the overall workings on a day to day of the club.

 

[blackflyingswan]

If I am incorrect, why did the afore mentioned managers/coaches take the job with false promises on the table and then go.

 

[monmouth]

Are you thick or" WHAT" read and digest the post.

No I’m not. Your post is deeply flawed. In fact it’s ridiculous.

Probably none of those managers left for the reason you quote. Cooper is arguable.

 

[blackflyingswan]

Get a life. they all left because all thy were promised on their appointment was not what they were promised in their tenure.

 

[PSumbler]

Potter (Brighton) Brendan (Liverpool) Martinez (Wigan) all went because they were offered a better job and wanted to take it

Laudrup it just went a bit Pete Tong in a clash of egos

Cooper clearly had enough so you could argue you are right there

Sousa - there were more than 20 people in the car park offering to take him to Leicester

How do you know this to be true? What evidence do you have? Serious questions mind.

I like to knock the sellouts and giant conk in particular as much as the next man, but not spending too much during their tennure was 100% the right decision.

Not going about it like the likes of Derby have was also the right decision by the Yanks.

However they need to know that you've got to speculate to accumulate and they should do a bit more of this whilst being mindful of FFP. They seem to be putting their investment completely on the back burner hoping for some miracle season, promotion, a jump in revenue, share value and attractiveness for a quick sale. The question is, how long are they prepared to keep their investment in suspended animation, and what is their exit strategy if this miracle doesn't happen. That is, either to eventually invest in promotion, write off the small outlay they put into the hedge fund and sell up for a reduced price, or just stick to the status quo in perpetuity.

Would you prefer debt or equity for this investment? And how much?

That is a great post. This is their conundrum. The club isn't worth anywhere near as much as it did when they bought in now, but they don't seem to want to properly invest their own money (not necessarily a bad thing), but without doing so&being miserly with the club's own funds it's difficult to see how we'd get promoted.

They took a gamble on Cooper who obviously sold them the idea of his England youth loans, as a cheap way of getting us up. It very nearly paid off. But the gamble being - what happens when the loans go back?

They've now gone for Martin hoping his fairly unique style of play can upset the odds and cause an upset in the division and get us up.

What's probably happened is that between the 30 odd of them (there maybe more now), for their means (Mindy Kalling etc), what they put in to buy their shares isn't a lot, so they are content for the club to drift along and hope we suddenly pull a rabbit out of a hat without investing much further interest or money since we've got relegated. How many times have any of them been to watch us since we got relegated for example? How many times has Mindy Kalling actually mentioned her involvement? But they can still brag to their friends at high society party's they own a 'soccer club' in 'England' and that's probably enough for most of them.

People are forgetting the claims by Conk, that these Yanks had the means to sustain us and get us back up should the worse happen, fact is that, that claim was cluster fuk.
