Not so long ago the Swans Supporters were making fun of Vincent Tan.One dressing up like him etc.taking the mike.
I wonder how they feel now I know I would prefer Vincent Tan to the bunch in charge of them at the moment.What goes around comes around.
Quite.
Vincent Tan has taken an approach that most clubs would desire as in leaving us to it.
Made mistakes (big fecking ones) but made amends and left us to it.
It wasn’t just the jacks taking the piss, half the Football world was. The other half felt sorry for us. They were bad times to be a City fan. But I have little doubt that, if the roles were reversed, ie they were pretty much offered £100m+ or it’s curtains, then exactly the same scenario would have occurred down west.
As far as I’m concerned it’s history now, yesterday’s chip paper and all that bollocks.

What are they actually going through that's worse than any other club?Quote:

If they get relegated they’ve got tne parachute payments to look forward to.
They’re not a club of massive stature so feeling aggrieved they’re in the relegation zone of the premier league is hilarious
So feck them 😉😃😂😂😂
Pretty much how I feel.Quote:

If they win a couple of games the anti Jenkins stuff will disappear again just like it did last season.
They beat Bournemouth at home and we'll back to the 'Swansea Way' bullcrap. (Spending £17m on a bang average Hull City player and £11m on a spaniard they don't play after paying £15m last season for one they also didn't play)
They have more points at this stage of the season than they did last season however it does appear the whole pack of cards maybe starting to collapse.
Still a bit early to call though if Abraham is injured there are absolutely no goals in that team.
If they go down forget the parachute pay, next stop league 1 I reckon. Stuff is going on there now they’ve not had to contend with before, the fans hate the owners, the trust in meltdown and at loggerheads with the white sox, no leaders in the pitch and £75 million wasted on rubbish in the pitch. Then you have coach clement.Quote:

Maybe, but a lot if thehome games they have lost we’re to the ones you would hope to win. Bournemouth playing well at mo. A lot of tough home games coming up fir them in new year. Usually, you would say they will fluke a few wins somehow but not with all the boardroom issues and king Jenkins hate now....lolQuote:

As for Tan being a great owner, another sub 20,000 crowd despite the club being 3rd, and despite there being no home games for nearly 3 weeks (previous low crowds have been attributed to too many games, and no 3pm Saturday kick off) is, in my opinion, largely down to his previous actions.
Ticket prices - spot on, very reasonable.
Team performances - very good, exceeding expectations.
No home game for 3 weeks
Saturday 3pm
Football supporters are transient,they come and they go,they always have they always will.Quote:

For 15,20 or 30 years conveniently forgetting they stayed at home for 4 or 5 years whilst they were protesting over some misplaced feeling of being wronged.
I hope you stick by Merthyr a little longer than you stuck by Cardiff when the going got a little tough for you Mr Disloya?
The Swansea Cardiff derby is a great game with genuine hatred emitted, put me in mind of the Rangers Celtic games where you can almost taste the emotion. It is of course an emotion that is irrational ,why would you hate someone for supporting a different side to yourself ?
I live down on the Gower these days ,travelling back and forward to Cardiff for work and my football. When I am out and about in Swansea I see the locals wearing their Swansea tops with pride ( maybe not quite as much pride these days) youngsters, teenagers ,grown men and old men alike. The fact is no matter how much you dislike them, they are following their local side.
There is a ridiculous amount of Man U and Liverpool fans in South Wales, I prefer to see the footballing people supporting their local side . When Swansea drop out of the top league many of the local Swansea colours will be swapped for a more famous or whichever side is sitting top of the premier league , it happened in Cardiff when we dropped out of the premier league . Is that really good for Welsh football ?
Going by your sentiments, shouldn’t you be supporting Swansea now? Lol!Quote:

Swans and us rivalry ? most definitely yes, but Bristol City I genuinely dislike with gusto..
The sad thing about modern football is we got next to no stick about our colour change at matches.Quote:

A few sets of supporters had a small go at youve sold your history and that was about it.
The modern football world couldnt give a sh!t.
Anyway history now. The Jacks are fecked.
Younger generation though its the Jacks. I wont forget those tw@ts wearing a orange away kit after we lost to Blackpool.Quote:

As an aside, is there as much cross-channel hatred between the jacks and worzels?
I know from experience in work that Bristol people in general, not football fans, hate the Welsh.
We all 'av 'em but the Swansea fans I know personally are really no different to the Cardiff fans I know. Or Blackpool, or Cheltenham, or Charlton, or Bristol City etc.
I know some great lads who are true Swansea fans , they say the bandwagon jumpers don't have a clue and are the first to start moaning after a few bad results
Having said that I hope they do a Portsmouth
Likewise Bristol city
And wolves , Leeds, united and Liverpool
Don't forget they are a well run club with a local DOF, MBE no less who along with his co sellouts have trousered all the cash from the sale to the American hedge fund specialists and also shafted their own supporter's trust. Brilliant, lets enjoy their demise, at last this will be the season they are relegated.
Phil sumbler from the Swansea city supporters trust is a really good bloke , true swans fan and he has resigned
Things are not looking good down west
If they lose to bornemouth the knives will be out for Clement
The guy who sits a couple of seats away from me ask me who Swansea are playing every week as if it interests me. :-)Quote:

Looking at our crowds, we def had a few thousand more the last time we did well got promoted from this league. I guess it’s true, we did lose a few 1000 hardcore fans over the r*****d. Tan didn’t car at the time, does he now?? They are still floating about but just don’t go all the time. Very flat and no match day atmosphere I always hear.....What can ya do?Quote:

At the 11th hour Jenkins chose to carry on with the Italian as he had won a few games at the end of the season and Jenkins would keep control of transfers and all dealings at the club, Brendon went to Celtic , The Italian and his predecessors have all since failed.
The plight of Swansea sits squarely on the shoulders of one man. He accepted the plaudits when the going was good.
The Jacks are our biggest derby for me. Not wurzels although they truly are knobs. We have just haven't had too many of them over recent years and the ones we have had have been in a different time in different stadiums. I suppose Bristol is where the needle bragging rights are now but it was always the peg sellers the first game every one would look for. I don't hate them as a club. I don't even hate the new Jack fans. But them wankstains lobbing a seat at my Grampi. Under fed smelly fecks.
Tell you one thing, not on here much at the moment......Quote:

Another defeat last night, not surprising I guess. But another game without a single shot at goal.....the Swansea way
