The rumour mill has been in full swing over the past 48 hours since Steve Kaplan was spotted at The Den Tuesday night to watch the Swans lose 2-1 at Millwall.<\/p>\n
Initially speculation was that he could be there with regards to the future of boss Russell Martin but this was quickly quashed by the manager himself in his post match interview with Kaplan apparently offering his support.<\/p>\n
“Steve is good guy. We speak regularly,” Martin said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“He was here for a couple of hours today which was great. We spoke a lot about the summer, about tonight, about recent events. It was a good, honest conversation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“As I spoke about at the end of January, Steve has been great since I have been at the club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
“The final say is not with Steve. Obviously he’s heavily involved. He has been great since we have been here.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
But the American, instead of heading back to the States after his visit to London, has reportedly been in Swansea for the last couple of days with speculation ramping up that a takeover could be happening.<\/p>\n
It’s long been thought that the owners would entertain new buyers rather than just investment into the club looking to recoup as much of the large outlay they spent on the purchase in 2016.<\/p>\n
Indeed some media reports have suggested as much although often Championship clubs only ever get purchased when they are in real distress… perhaps the lowly league position and the backlash after the January transfer window has pushed them to make moves?<\/p>\n
