Tan Backing club yet again

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

I think it’s quite the opposite. If the club received decent money, then that would have a bearing on future transfer / loan fees in that the selling club will know we have money to spend. They are not hiding the fee as it would show on the statement of financial position.

I tihnk we got between 3 and 4 million and the club don't want a backlash from the fans

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

lets see what kind of shape we are in after the summer before we start lavishing praise on Tan and the board.

We have a massive few months ahead of us -

• Avoiding relegation
  
• A managerial appointment in the summer
  
• 3 looming court cases
  
• a total squad overhaul at the end of the season.

there is plenty of opportunity for any of those things to **** us up for a long time ,so they have to be right.

I am very disappointed nobody has remarked on the beautiful bullet points I've created here.
I'm more proud of it than anything else I've done in work this morning.

A few months back I’d have been very disappointed, not so now.

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

If you call selling our talisman on the cheap and using what little money we got for him on 5 temporary loans, lasting all of 4 months, then I dread to think what will happen when he doesn’t “back us”.

I very much doubt that the Moore money has been used on the loans.
Surely it’s more likely that they’re keeping it for the summer?
The whole point of the loans is to keep us in the league, take pressure off the academy lads and let them learn from others.
Come the summer, the club will hopefully be able to put the money to better use - particularly as we could even have a different manager.
The coming off season is going to see a lot of change!

none of us have any idea, we might have spend very little on the loans, or we might easily have spent far more than the moore fee in loan fees alone

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

Let’s be honest It’s undisclosed for a reason. If we got decent money for him the club would be shouting from the rooftops to avoid the negative PR.

I maybe wrong but from memory pretty much all transfers in recent times have been undisclosed. Always guesses in the media but I’ve rarely notice the club confirm a fee.

Except Zohore, I wouldn't blame them if we posted 'the anniversary of selling Zohore for £8 million' on social media every year.

Recent times are more likely to be us paying up a contract to get someone out of the building than getting a transfer fee. Or releasing a shit load of players this summer coming because we can’t get a resale on them.

I know you like to defend the club at all costs but the transfer committee has been nothing short of incompetent since it’s inception. 3 blokes who know **** all about football and a guy who’s been round the block a long time running rings around them all has set this club back years and years.

Re: Tan Backing club yet again

Surely it's more of a case that Swansea aren't going anywhere this season so there's no point spending any money unless it is for the right player and there's a longer term view. Ours was out of necessity with relegation being a very real threat. I suspect the Moore transfer money has paid for the loan deals in any case, so it's maybe not that much about being backed by Tan.

And you don’t think that Swansea are in any danger of relegation ? I suggest you look at the table and recent form. They are sleep walking their way towards the bottom three.

That is exactly what has been publicised by WOL and others, which Steve Morison stated was wide of the mark and ‘don't believe what you read in the media’.

If Peterborough keep up their season's points average they'll have 34 points by the end. Barnsley are gone. Reading are 10 points worse off than the Jacks.

This season will likely see a record low points needed for survival. Anyone who gets 40 points will survive. I reckon it'll be lower than that.

2 wins and a draw or two would see Swansea safe.

In fact, try making a case that 4 of the 6 sides below them will make 33 points this season. Barnsley won't. Derby probably won't. Peterborough will struggle to. Reading might not in their current form.
