.....ex shareholders to rescind the original deal - on the basis they have been sold a 'pup'. They want their money back. All speculation and rumour but people can understand where this has all come from. I don't know whether this means they will apply to abrogate the acquisition of their shares from multimillionaires Jenkins, Dineen and Morgan etc.
Going to be some difficult conversations ahead when Jenkins meets the Yanks when over for Man U game.
Probably mean Jenkins et al and the Yanks will now have to all their lawyers present - when meeting each other.
Think of a scenario where ex shareholders have to give all their money back to Yanks, relegation and reputations (their family name) tarnished for the rest of their lives. Maybe they will reflect and think were the extra millions worth it?

It's only Teabag/Darran/BigPhilG saying it and he should be ignored as he's a clueless kunt.

So how did the City of Swansea cope before 2011 then?
I understand a few hotels might lose a few quid every other week during the season but basically what you're saying saying is bollox. |
Better tell that to the leader of the council who said the City can no longer just ride on the coat tails of its football club. Tell it to the head of the university who said the establishment has benefitted from the success of the club.
It has already been estimated that it brings tens of millions of pounds to the economy. Not just us. See the panic in Sunderland at the moment as they fret over their demise.
Also you must have missed the Trust statement where the sellouts wanted jam today not jam tomorrow when a Chinese organisation wanted to invest in the club and infastructure of the City. That could have been a massive opportunity lost and the club would have been the flagship for it.
It is all about the Swansea name being promoted on a worldwide basis. We have not scratched the surface yet.
The recognition in America if Bob is a success will be massive. We have already been splashed all over the major press outlets in the States.
Our owners are banking on this one, however unlikely success on the pitch seems at the moment. |  |

How can the Americans asset strip the club without without the trust getting 21%? if the trust got 21% of any asset stripping wouldn't this put them in a strong position to buy the whole club if we were relegated? |
Asset stripping, will parachute payments spread over 4 years be included, if so the Americans have got a long wait, so will be our owners for at least that time period too benefit. |  | | |

It is a dilemma for me as well as I hate the money in the Prem but I recognise the good it is doing for the City.
I must say I don't yearn for league 4 days. I am not being sarcastic but if the club has that big an issue for you then maybe Llanelli AFC could be for you.
I have earmarked a few matches there to go and watch LT10 :-) | |

Not sure if this is true, but could be.
From what I understand from the trust statement, the sellers "warranted" the position of the trust to the Americans. Under contract for sale of product, a breach such as this usually gives the right to terminate the contract. As I only have limited knowledge in cases of "acquisition breach" I googled and found the attached, I have not read all of it, but page 1 note 2 is very interesting!
As said before there could be some people in Swansea experiencing squeaky bum time!

Indeed it was a figure of speech. I replied above that I meant playing sh!te football that would make a Pullis team look like Barcelona. I would gladly suffer that now if it meant retaining our status. I would even take Fat Sam on board if Bob continues looking as clueless as he seems at the moment.
I think my choice of words gave the wrong impression.
Or maybe not. Maybe some posters are not prepared to sacrifice style to retain our status and would be happy to see us play ineffective tippy tappy football all the way down the league ladder. | |

Indeed
There's no way on earth the yanks want their club to be relegated .
Even though they took Bob on |  |

Here is one for Lisa to get her teeth into and any other legal eagles on here ;-)
I suspect if relationships between the sellers and buyers are breaking down then there are a few worried millionaires out there.... | |

I doubt they'd recind, but who knows. That is very interesting though. Not sure what the damages would consist of if they sued, but there must have been a reason they wanted that specific warranty. |  |

Yes, I was one who dismissed Brendan as 'old hat' and saw exciting possibilities in Guido's appointment. I mean what a prospect! - all those second string, or emerging Serie 'A' players would flock over to Swansea to be re-united with their old mentor Francesco. It would be just like the exciting times under Laudrup - Italian versions of Michu, Chico, Pablo et al would arrive to transform Swans back to the days of the elegant, flowing passing football that made us everyone's favourite second team.
Where did it all go wrong? Apart from Paloschi, we saw no benefit at all from Guidolin's knowledge and experience of Serie A. Just like Paulo Sousa, he seemed to have lost his little black book labelled 'Contacts''.
So, yes we definitely missed a trick in not taking Brendan back. A decision that looks like costing us our PL status. |  | | |

If Rodgers was happy to come here in the summer why didn't he come here when we really needed him back in december/January ?
As you always say, any manager would jump at taking a premier league job as there are only 20 clubs at a given time. |  | | |
