A 51 year old 'financial expert ' arguing the toss with some emotional babies online.

Indeed

Which would seem only fair if the buyer was the one that crashed it, whilst taking control in a way that was against the part owners legal rights

What do you suggest as a way forward?

If you read back I was actually supporting you by dismissing pees glib retort.

But fair question, given the new owners have clearly shown their colours...

Without rancour but with full and firm use of legal rights get our money out just like the sellouts did and save that 20m + for that rainy day.

Then get right behind the new owners in every positive thing they do for the club and genuinely hope they are successful, in the knowledge we have a substantial pot to help pick up the pieces and protect the long term future of professional football in Swansea should things go awry.

Also build a strong non shareholding fans group to represent us under the new owners, doing everything we can to build a strong positive relationship but built on firm principles.

Yes, sorry about that Spratty, my tolerance for obscure allegories was unfortunately at an end when I came across you post ;-)

As I said i think there are some potential problems and unintended consequences actually getting any money out of Kaplan.

And the club needs money right now.

There in lies the quandary

I know you are struggling as hard as you can to find some sort of pragmatic solution to the current situation. Which is admirable.

I am looking to the longer term objectives of the Trust and don’t think we should squander our resources acting as a short term prop for what is out of our control. This of course could have some negative consequences in the short term. Which if they occurred could be unpalatable to many. However I would just see a short term prop as delaying the inevitable if that is the path we are on and would leave us with nothing.

Given Steve seems to see this investment as a gnats bite and he is taken by the club - he could easily provide further support to cover a Trust buyout as should have been offered at the time

The thing is that the £30 million recapitalisation I propose isn't a short term fix or band-aid.

It is serious long term money, that would finally give the club some financial stability.

And certainly anything could happen, including Stevie-boy donning a Santa Claus outfit and gifting the Trust all sorts of things. But if that micro-probability outcome were to come off, he would actually be the ideal long term partner for the Trust!

I think he is suggesting that those who take a free view and do smoke would find it hard disposing of their cigarette ends. I'm thinking more of a modern slant and suggesting a saying regards vaping is suggested coupled with motorbikes. It's the chocolate fireguard theory all over again, fireguards are a thing of the past so may be something like 'As useful as a chocolate radiator hanger' or similar.


Righto, but it is worrying ‘cos he’s now suggesting that Ferrari concessionaires are flogging dodgy cars!

The Yanks should do the decent thing and make an offer to the trust for their shares. The scumbags won't though.

Well the issue is the price at which new shares would be bought by the Americans.

The Trust shareholding decreasing is, I assume, what most people think of when they mention ‘dilution’ but, as has been pointed out on many occasions, the Trust owning 21% or 15% or whatever is somewhat irrelevant in this situation.

It’s dilution of value that’s the crucial bit. If the Trust owns a lesser percentage of a higher valued club (maintaining the value of their share), that’s not much of an issue. For that to be the case, again, given the current situation, the relevant value is the 2016 value. In other words, the Americans buying new shares at the 2016 value is, on the face of it, fine for the Trust.

They won’t want to, if they do ever buy more shares as they indicated in their interview, one would assume, given relegation. They’d want to decrease their average cost per share in the club to decrease their loss (at the expense of the Trust). The way of doing that is issuing shares at a lower valuation than they paid for the ones they have. Problem of course, is that is an unfair prejudice against the minority.


The question is not specific enough, as I said.

Well of course but that's always been the case even if they'd attempted to pump more money into the club when we were in the EPL.

There's always been the threat of a tangible prejudice if they'd done that.

But what the op was suggesting is that it's not just that easy to 'invest' ie pump millions into the club as that comes with conditions and those conditions would affect the Trust.

You would do better correcting the nonsense on here in my opinion. How many more wacky posts from Omar do you have to see before you say something?

Can you get your own sticky thread where we can refer to as a form of constant? So whenever anyone says anything as bonkers as they've been we can refer to the thread to shut them down?

It seems you've been all too keen in allowing a growing sentiment of bad feeling in respect of nonsense accounting and I don't think it's fair. Not one bit.

Of course it’s easy. Put in equity at the 2016 value and everyone’s happy.

Doesn’t mean it’ll happen, but it’s easy.

And I did correct Omar’s post. I said he was talking nonsense and anyone that believed it was an idiot. Have a look at the thread and you’ll see me saying so, and E20 replying to my post as well.

And i have done so before as well.

So not sure why that’s me allowing anything to stand or being either fair or unfair.

Well no. That would be a reflection of the substantially decreased value, which is an uncomfortable reality no doubt for all concerned.
