The Trust Minutes

[Risc]

Confirm Levien is still fully in control then. So what was Coleman on about?

Not trying to put a dampener on anything but I’d have preferred it if he left things for the likes of Morris, Coleman and Cravatt.

This is exactly why I couldn't buy into your excitement / optimism over this new lot of shysters. Not a pop at you by the way, I just couldn't see how things were going to be any different.

They may well turn things around and go on to be excellent owners, but until hey do I'm out.

Levien was in Swansea the week the players were in Spain, and stayed for Duff’s unveiling. Eyebrows were raised then.

I believed, and it’s looking like naively believed, he was taking a step back and letting the likes of Coleman run the show on the ground here. Please don’t mistake this next part as acting “itk”, I’m far from it, but I know for a fact Nigel Morris and Brett Cravatt have been working hard behind the scenes since December, I was hoping this was not another false dawn, but the trust minutes I find pretty worrying to be honest.

Levien is of course still a big part of the club and has been here long before Coleman was even in the frame to come on board, his input and perspective is still very much important in terms of where we are as a club and the direction we want to go in.

That doesn’t mean he hasn’t given autonomy to others to make decisions, important that that is stressed.

These minutes are always something I dislike (although I understand they are needed) as people (quite understandably) take the small snippets written and pad them out with what they think they mean.

Regular contact between the main shareholder of the club and the man running the football operations seems perfectly normal to me and will be the case in every club throughout the land.

It’s not like we haven’t been active in the transfer market so far this season and I’m certainly we will continue to be so.

Can you post a copy of the minutes on here I can’t seem to find them.

Is Levien the main shareholder then ?

Yes

Kaplan /Levein/Silverstein 64 %
Morris 19%
Trust 11%
Others 5%

Not him personally, but he is the head of the vessel that owns the most amount of shares.

But there is a difference between a controlling share and a majority share, which many look over.

Will have to see how it all shakes out when the investments and shares are proportioned and listed.

 

[IAN05]

That’s definitely the position stated on the club site. However Albermarle Group claim to be the controlling party so it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out if Swansea football LLC own the most shares.

I’m struggling to see why if Swansea Football LLC owns the majority shares they would give controlling interest to Albemarle. I
