You mean like the opinion that Potter threatened to quit has been accepted as fact? or that James wanted to stay has been accepted as fact?
Which way does the evidence point?
You start of deriding people for making crass assumptions and then proceed to do exactly the same thing with your last paragraph. [Post edited 2 Feb 2019 21:25]

I don't recall "deriding" anyone's opinion. I was just questioning it. Huge difference.
My last paragraph was also meant to be opinion. Not in any way a fact. Sorry if you misunderstood that. |  | |  |

Good news on the face of it. But the question I'm asking is why he's left. If he thought there was one tiny glimmer things could be turned round, he'd still be here. He knows there's only one way things are heading. Things will get worse, much worse, before they get any better. This is confirmation that these yanks are asset stripping, if ever it was in any doubt. [Post edited 2 Feb 2019 21:34]

Well lets see if its repeated often enough so as to be accepted as fact. That's what happens , right? [Post edited 2 Feb 2019 21:39]

Perhaps he might donate his remaining shares to the trust! |
Now that would be the honourable thing to do |  |

Deliberately, to ensure the supporters trust could never have any shareholder protection and to ensure that the model he lauded to get his MBE could never carry any weight again. |  |

I have a strong feeling that Potter will follow Huw out of the door pretty soon 😩😩🙈
Potter is Huw’s man and would have been reassured throughout this shytshow by him... |  |

Can’t believe it... I actually feel gutted. Really concerned and worried about what the Americans will now be capable of doing.
Jenkins totally screwed up in selling to them but I feel he reigned them in doing more damage to us... and he is a genuine fan.
Thanks Huw for for bring Premier League and European football to Swansea... it still feels like a dream! |  |

It was a really good dream while it lasted, but like a lit of good it dreams, it turned into a nightmare. |  |

This sums everything up! No genuine fan would have 4cked over our club the way he did. The dream would have lived on a lot longer if the sell outs hadn't been blinded by the £££££. 4ck him and now hope the rest follow. Whatever happens STID | | | |

$$$$$ I assume. Buying 67% or whatever of the shares superficially hid that they had acquired 75 % of the voting rights as voting rights were sold for shares the sellers retained.
It allows the buyers to do a lot of things with the company that the Trust and other shareholders combined could have prevented if they held 25.1% of the voting rights. | | | |

For roughly 68 million reasons. |  | | |

Actually stunned so many are buying his martyr act. He did this to us! He blew £100m+ on the likes of Bony, Ayew, Clucas. All after selling out for millions and still taking a huge wage. Rumoured to have stopped one transfer and suddenly he's one of us, sticking it to the yanks.
What are the odds on him making a Lazarus-like return if a consortium buy out the yanks? | | | |

Just come home, heard the news and read all 8 pages of this thread. Lots of posters making really good points and as always some make some dull ones.
I think the way the club were sold by the previous owners and the way the Trust was treated was poor, very poor. Today’s news has come as a surprise, and to be honest is a little concerning. I respect Huw Jenkns for the way he and the others built the club up post 2002, however the sale and other business has taken the shine off that respect to the extent I waned them out.
I don’t know whether HJ has fallen on his sword in an attempt to prevent any further damage to his reputation and standing amongst the fans and wider Swansea Community, or whether he was pushed by the new owners. There are lots of stories and rumours in the press, but if it’s true the new owners wanted to sell Dan James and HJ failed/declined to engage with Leeds then that would suggest serious differences at the top, which makes me think that the new owners have “pushed” him. It may even be a combination of both. The thought of being public enemy no 1 for quite a few people in Swansea wouldn’t bring one a deal of pleasure.
It may be that the books need balencing, but it may equally be a case of the new owners selling assets to raise funds. Given that HJ was the Chair and someone who should have a handle on what’s going on, this makes me believe it’s the latter and the selling is fund raising/disposing of assets. Come the summer, I suspect that there will be further departures, the high earners coming to the end of their contract will be allowed to leave and the youngsters who signed new contracts, Rodon, Roberts, Grimes, McBurjie, Fulton? and Dan James who nearly went in January will all be sold.
I have mixed feelings, a part of me is pleased with tonight’s news, but part of me is very apprehensive and concerned. Just look at what’s happened at Coventry City. | | | |

it's not bad because of what he did for the club ages ago, it's bad because it's reflective of massive internal strife and disorder and not a single person here will be convinced that anybody in charge has a clue what to do now.
i get the sense that the owners think that because they are business people and wealthy that they can make this up as they go along, but there's no doubt they were leaning on huw for guidance and without him they're plunging even deeper into the darkness. |  | | |

There may be one tiny chink of light at the end of this tunnel......
Jenkins knows where the bodies are buried. He could turn out to be a witness for the Trust in any Court action.
However, if he has signed some non-disclosure/ confidentiality agreement to guarantee a payout then he has proved everybody right.
There is only ONE way the sellouts can now redeem themselves in the eyes of this City...to do the Yanks befor they do us. |
Except the court action is against Jenkins as well as the Americans. |  | | |

Can this above comment be made into a sticky?
Seems many people are forgetting the role Jenkins and Co. have played in our demise.
Greed ensured our great club will be ruined, let's always remember how we got here ! |  | | |
