Takes over Newport County

Onwards and upwards, could do with him at City.
A match made in heaven.
Not sure who I hate the most.
If it wasn't for the fact he would plot to send us down he's the director of football a lot of you have been crying out for
I appreciate this is extremely unlikely due to their size and lack of revenue, but with Wrexham clearly making a move up the leagues, if Newport somehow managed to get a couple of promotions we could have four of us Welsh clubs in the second tier. That would be fantastic.
Have we ever had four Welsh clubs in at least second tier at once?
Did well for Swansea, but it was a long time ago, it will be interesting to see how he does, I would expect relative success.
Interesting about the comments about Jenkins on here - I have a lot of swans fans as mates and they are clear in where their blame lies for their current predicament and it is not just with the their current owners but also the way Jenkins managed and agreed the sake. Different strokes and all that
He also bought the club for a song didn't he after debtors didn't receive a lot compared to what they were owed?
I know a couple of swans fans frequent this board be interested to hear their take on Jenkins
They don't like him because he sold them down the river and made a huge profit, but they shouldn't forget they were heading for the conference before he took over and they are in a miles better position now because of him.
But he did indeed think of himself in the end not what was best for the club in the long term.
Yes ^^
Is this Jenkins Newport situation that dissimilar to the Sam Hammam City one?
We all know how that panned out and most of us myself included were hugely excited at Hammam's arrival, even though the warning signs were loud and clear from Wimbledon.
Newport fans will feel the same that the arrival of a 'saviour' from their current situation which will almost certainly benefit them, in the short term at least.
It is a gamble but one I'm sure most Cewnty fans would be willing to take.
Bournemouth, Luton, Brentford have proved there isn't a glass ceiling for "smaller" clubs.
There are many "big" clubs who have plummeted too.
If you are well run , the size of your ground and fan-base is no hindrance to success.
Yep as soon as he sold up to the hedge fund I knew they were in trouble….he did very well in getting Martinez, then Brendan, in fact about four very good managers in a row. He did oversee their downfall somewhat mind, can’t recall if he was still there but they blew about £60 million on rubbish like clucas, baston, bony 2nd time round etc after the coup of the sigurdson money….
