When will we actually get Huw Jenkins out of the club? 21:20 - Jul 28 with 25598 viewsSwansea93

I appreciate the attempts last season of certain groups trying to start some chants and protests, and I'm not jumping the gun and being negative here, but since Huw said he'd step down if we were relegated and he's still here is abit of joke, he's hired Potter and hasn't given him any backing in the market as of yet and is clearly calling the shots still. When are we all actually going to get Jenkins out because I don't think we can 'rebuild' with him still here, how many fans are actually going to forgive him for the sh!te he's caused the last few years? With Andre Ayew leaving on loan is a prime example of how Huw has run the club the past few years, big money signings on big wages leaving for next to nothing. Yes we all appreciate what he and others did for the club all them years ago, but we've moved on since that and we're talking about now & the future which he has shat on.

Eder, Tabanou, Borja, Ayew, Bony, Clucas, Ngog, Mesa to name a few of his signings that have all cost a club of our size a fortune,not to mention the questionable decisions he's made e.g not bringing Allen back when he had the chance, handing out long contracts to squad players who weren't playing in the first team. He stated we'd learn from mistakes which they clearly havent it's the same old story every time, we start the season in 7 days and we have signed 1 player officially for the '1st team' and if we start off bad Potter is going to get the blame for this whilst Huw is tucked up in his directors box getting away with all the sh!t.

It is all a bit if a double-edged sword.

Debt is high in absolute terms and needs to come down, in my view by something in the order of £30m from my estimated level of around £70m currently, to put the club on a sustainable path in the medium term.

That can potentially be released by selling Mawson, Clucas, J Ayew, and leave a small amount for a couple of new signings.

However, unless the total wage bill is also slashed, the club will still likely be bleeding cash next season, and it strikes me that more needs to be done to shift players either on loan or outright, otherwise the net debt position will just steadily climb back to unsustainable levels.

However, I must admit I can not get good forecasting visibility on this as I don't know the individual salaries or the relegation clauses.


Thanks! The next club balance sheet/accounts release is going to be interesting to be sure....After listening to the Dineen interview I think himself, Jenkins and Yanks are going to be rather disappointed because selling was not only to manage debt but to also bring in new players, and to sustain ongoings off the field of play.

From the outside looking in IMO movement has been rather limited (to what was expected) and slow also i.e. hence lack of transfer activity so far.

Argus!

Agreed, but there is still quite of time, for example more than a month to try to shift Bony overseas, which would make a big dent in the wage costs.

Doesn't stop you spouting your bullshit though does it...

You said our wage bill was 90 odd million yeah, that included Siggy, Llorente, Fab, Ki, Rangel and Leon to name some from the top of my head, even Ash maybe, yeah?

The ones we brought in would've been on nothing like that so our current wage bill right here, right now is already significantly less, which makes your scaremongering just that. All fur coat and no knickers.

So you ask for an example and when you get one, do the equivalent of sticking your fingers in your ears and shouting as loud as you can so you don't have to listen to it?

Since the end of last season the new owners have appointed the manager's own recruitment team, met with him in America to discuss the short, medium and long term strategy and stated that he "will be the single most important voice" in deciding on which players to bring in.

I'd assume that this has diminished HJ's role in recruitment to some extent. If the new approach is successful they may feel more confident in moving HJ on.

My question about this. Jenkins has stayed away from the tour, been sidelined in recruitment and its been alleged that Pearlman is now calling the shots. If this is true why the fück are the club spunking 10 bags a week on his salary for?

Why do you think?

Because everyone is taking out their shit on him and giving the Americans an easy time.

Indeed. I don't think a championship club can justify paying both of the reported salaries of HJ and CP.

Apart from taking all the flak (as has been mentioned) they will keep HJ until such time that they identify someone else who can also do the negotiating of transfer fees, contracts etc. , leaving CP to run the club operationally, all no doubt on reduced salaries.

It's not simply a matter of if/when HJ leaves the club, more so his motive for staying. Is it money? Not sure, as he obviously is more than comfortable. Lisa (I greatly respect you btw) quotes how corporations normally work - and I understand this - but football clubs are certainly different - there's emotion etc. involved. As I've said, I think HJ will walk, when the time feels right for him (and I think this will be soon), but I for one am not convinced that's 100% in the interests of the club, longer term.

He (and others) did so many good things, and a few really really bad ones - greed or protecting their investments, which for a few seasons looked like they could go down the swannie (no pun intended). Maybe he is the victim of upbringing/previous work culture, who knows - in any case, bad form. I started out in the electrical engineering field and a foreman once said to me "you're only as good as your last fuse"! Harsh eh, but c'est la vie HJ. I think he would ideally like to set us on a progressive path, then go. If we have no Swansea based people at the helm, then the club could just as well be called Timbuktu FC, who play in Swansea - probably like most clubs. I'm not advocating he should go/stay - just pointing out that it's OK to push for change, just have progressive alternatives lined up.

Now Jack to a King 2 would be.......if the sellouts had any guilt, and regret....or if they are that good as some say, buy the Club back and go again!.........now what a pantomime that would be ,

I no longer think it is plausible to suppose he is master of his own destiny at the club, because by all rights he really should have been sacked for failure on and off the field.

To me the more interesting question is why has Kaplan not pulled the trigger, and my leading theories remain that they are either gambling on a immediate return to the Prem and want to give the appearance of being open for business as usual, or else that they have lost interest completely.

I am sure any decent recruitment consultant could find a long list of competent football people willing to take the job for say half a million per annum.

Furthermore it would be an easy management decision to take, as the only people really complaining would be the Saviour and Dim.

If they wanted immediate return, in my view they wouldn't have endorsed GP's appointment and probably gone for a more "trusted" big name etc.. Option 2: lost interest - it's not a plaything, e.g. Abramovich, to them - a pure financial "investment". So, they look for return. I think they've bought into the longer game and jam tomorrow plan (credit/guilt HJ ,maybe?), which is good-ish news. Who knows.

As I say walk/fired maybe, but what does the alternative look like?

They are probably looking at the ROI of Pearlman and thinking that maybe Jenkins is a better option. Afterall his CV can boast ten plus years of sustained growth.
