We have been quiet on this, but think yesterday was the final straw with these owners.
Think it has got to cranked up now

When Swansea City’s owners ‘invested’ into the club in 2016, they claimed that they were going to “take the club to the next level” and that they would be “great stewards to the club” overseeing its growth and development. This filled with me with excitement because we were already an established and stable Premier League club & having extra funding by these ‘investors’ would only help the club grow bigger and to achieve heights we could only have dreamed of.

7 years on, and we’re a mid-table championship club. We sell our top players every year without adequately replacing them, and our fanbase is constantly fed false promises by our owners who clearly don’t have the intentions that they claimed to have when they arrived.

As much as I don’t want to admit this, it’s clear that our owners don’t care about the club. The reality is that they are an American consortium consisting of 20-30 investors who’s sole intentions are to make whatever they can out of the club whilst putting in the bare minimum amount of money possible. They may make out in interviews and the media that they’re “extremely passionate” about the club, but if they really cared about the club, then the executives wouldn’t run the business in such a neglectful and unambitious way.

It’s all well and good for these owners, because when their time is done here they don’t even have to think of our club ever again let alone step foot in Swansea. Meanwhile, us fans will still be here dealing with the aftermath of what they’ve done. Unfortunately, we’re not alone with this either, and there have been even worse situations where fans have had their club almost wiped off of the map by neglectful owners who were only thinking of their own gain.

I know to some of you this may come across as petty or pathetic, but at the end of the day this is the football club I’ve grown up supporting, and it hurts me to see these business people take advantage of the club I love.

I just really hope things change. Preferably, I hope these owners of ours sell up to people who actually care and want to make a difference. We can only dream I suppose… #yanksout #swanseacity #sacktheboard

Copied off Facebook and sums it up perfectly

What's the point, we had our chance to "protest" five years ago and most couldn't be bothered, the ship has sailed brother...

Didn't Blackpool get together with their supporters trust to get rid of their owners a few years ago?

We were certainly at that next level as promised by the Americans. Nobody thought it would be downwards at the time. Tbh, we sold Gylfi, Llorente in 2017 and brought in a very young and unproven Tammy Abraham and an ageing Wilfried Bony to replace those goals. I think that the FA or EFL should have a much better due diligence process in order to vet these potential new owners. Apart from minimal outlay for day to day running of the club, they have never really invested any money thus far. Players of any cost have only come here on the back of player sales.
If the Americans are keen to sell up, maybe a successful promotion via the play-offs is the last thing we need as they won't sell and just cream off the cash for the next 5 years

Perhaps the Stateside Jacks have contacts in the US media ? A story focussed on the different approach of US owners in Swansea and Wrexham. Negative publicity for our "investors" over there would hit home harder than any number of articles in Wales online.
