Zabref did not block anyone ..Swansea CoE or academy have never produced local goalkeeper. If the club had developed a non Welsh keeper of quality he would be in the team today. Benda came as a youth but Margetson preferred Woodman under Cooper. Martin preferred Fisher.

There is a good group at present. Evan Watts Ben Hughes and Kit Margetson.

It is not a waste of money because the club is going for best available and mng on those not good enough. Zane Myers
Leveritt Rishesha Akande, Joe Thomas etc

The waste would be investing in local lads who were never going to make it. Only Cotterill of those on loan will make it I suspect.

Cooper sacked
at 16:18 3 Dec 2024

Why did Brighton recall him then? He was on a season long loan and Brighton were not impressed by his game time. Had Cooper told them he was in his plans and COVID was the reason he would have complete his year.

Cooper wanted Keinan Davis and was perfectly happy to send him back. Davis cost roo much or did not want to come. Morris and Arriola came instead.

Cooper messed up.

There speaks a person in public service perhaps? With certain employers you cannot get sacked without doing something badly wrong . In my world you can be sacked for doing a poor job and do not have to have avoided doing anything wrong.

Boy George has not been cancelled and he has been convicted of some very serious crimes of a very seedy nature. The great Gobber Carragher goes from strength to strength.

Rod Stewart says his wife was humiliated. This is presumably part of the shows edge. Anne Robinson was humiliating contestants for years. I never found it amusing but many did.

The Police certainly take people court if they are the target. This consideration does not extend to humble polite Welsh people and families it seems.

This is because Welsh people accept this filth and even engage in it. I cannot say it is because they are stupid because they get upset about that and call it an 'insult'.

Swnsea city do not talk about "zero tolerance" anymore. I wonder why. Is there creeping acceptance and perhaps a dash of cowardice.?

I just point out that there are no similar examples anywhere in the world. The Spurs fans are a special case.

I do care where the players come from and I suspect many non flag waving fans do as well. If the team had 7-8 talented Welsh players doing well the crowds and interest would be bigger.

The Toshack era saw Robbie James, Curtis and Charles all come from lower leagues to the first division. Stevenson and Marustik followed.

I only watched the show a couple of times and there seemed to be an element of innuendo in the whole thing. I am aware of giggling at the "flabby bottom" for a failed flan.

"That's life" in the past did this sort of thing for laughs.

That is Govea (Equador) off to Cardiff along with Lissah and Kyrell Wilson.

You may have noticed the hot Welsh players are struggling g big time. Congreve and JT are finding league 2 too tough for them.

Cooper and Cullen are now only coming through 4 years after leaving the u21. Cabango emerged at an earlier age.

Wales do not produce forwards. Hartson was the last powerful CF and he chose to go to Luton.

Henia and Nzingo along with Wilson are closest to the first team. (all ineligible in your plan),
Woodward is showing promise in the u18. Iwan Morgan walked and dropped out of the Welsh u19 squad so not deemed to be ding great by them.

Ask the Trust to sponsor the Women's team's shirts.

Use the Welsh name for the Women's team Dinas Abertawe.

The shirts sponsors name of the shirts at Derby were illegible.

Check that the all-surface facilities agreed under the stadium deal have actually been built and advertise this good work. I do not know if this has been done or not.

Make close relations with US teams and send players injured but Now recovered to get game r time over there. This summer Ginnell, Njoe an On, Parker. Also Abdullai who is not getting game time.

Get answers from the academy why they have not produced goalkeeper or centre forwards of quality.

Sack Anthony O,'Connell and Wyndam.

Inform the fans that some of their chanting are ethnic slurs and as such illegal. Bring back zero tolerance.

Allow fans to buy shares in the club to fund the academy. Norwich did this a few years back.

Cooper sacked
at 10:40 2 Dec 2024

"Impossible" is a relative word. It sounds as if his wages according to your reports that his salary was low by championship standards.

However it was a contract that he signed and the Swansea job set him on his way to several millions he can put in his back pocket. He is now the richest man in the Rhondda.

Another that should send a little thank you note to Levien for rubber stamping his appointment in his first managerial job.

His loans were the who s who of top Euro talent. Gibbs White on loan did not come cheap. Levien had not budget left and drummed up two full US internationals.

Cooper was not impressed but then again arranged a taxi for Gyorkeres back to Brighton. It worked out at £400,000 a mile over the last 4 years.

Arriola and Morris were decent. Probably at the level of Welsh players. Wes Burns who went to the Premier league with Ipswich.

Posters are right to point out it was a decade ago and it is time to move on. In the 23 years of the Trust 2015-2016 were the most important. At that time they needed to act. They wanted to carry on as before but that was not an option.

The fall of the Trust from being respected to today's of being less relevant are defined by this two year period. They won the pools but did not submit their ticket.

The Trust board member emphatically stated their position.

Their share were not up for sale adding for the record " they never would be" . No one in the Trust contradicted this in February 2015. Levien and co were in Swansea a few months later looking at the club and no doubt were made aware of this.

As I understand it they needed a mandate from the members to sell and had made no moves to get this mandate.

My perception is far closer to the truth than yours. I called their strategy poor 8 years ago and have been proven correct.

Hard cash give them clout and when buyers were circling in 20115 they decided they did not want the money on offer and did not ask the member their view. The members did not demand a vote. Truth be told they probably never given it a thought.

They wanted "protection" at a level of 25% with the influence the 25% gave them. They have settled for 5% and a place on the board.

The previous board presented them with a strategy that would have destroyed Swansea city You favour legal action and a best case of giving huge money from the convertible loan note to faceless people in South East England with no interest in football.

Many members think like you and that is why they are not to be trusted with power.

Abdullai is a great player used out of position. His excuse is he needs 90 min every week to improve I his confidence, reduce nerves and improve his touch. He runs and gives and collects the ball on the move.

Just what Williams needs.
