From: Ted Jones - Richmond Virginia USA - Sunday, April 15 Re: Sale of Swans |
| I hope that whoever buys the club introduces a management team that has absolutely no previous ties to the club. I would like to see Alan Curtis involved in some coaching capacity, but please, please, please no Leighton James' or anyone that really could not get the club to where it needs to be (Division One). The club needs a completely new management approach with top people who know how to sign the right players and prepare them so that they can win games. Fingers crossed here that that will actually take place. If it doesn't, get ready for more of what we've endured for way to long. |

Right here goes,the club is 95% sold,possible this
wednesday(18.4.01).Its a gentleman by the name of David Bradshaw who
owns a haulage company in west wales.hes having backing from a woman
by the name of Ann Brazier,who is a millionares,she is friendly with a
arab who owns a oil company.Leighton James and Dean Saunders the new
management team with Mr Hamer possible back as chairman,because he
supposidly has the experience to front the consortiums takeover,in
other words he does all the answering to the press,whilst all the
involved carry on with their buisnee projects!I'm not one for doom and
gloom,but an arabian oil owner,a local wesh haulage owner and an
american/british property developer,i dont know what to make of it,i
think plenty of money,but is it for the club or their own buisness
ventures?
Mclures trying to rush the deal through because he wants out quickly,as quick as yesterday! |

From: boots - port talbot/paul - spare room - Sunday, April 15 Re: goal shy |
| I was talking to a chap during the game against Rotherham who said he was watching the swans train at Landore the other day,all the first team were there etc. All they were doing was playing a game running @ passing, there were no goal posts no goals to aim for. Well i suppose its what you are used to. |

Now i'm not one to have a go at people for the occasional
bit of bad grammar, but come on Gary, this one's a wind-up surely?
Either that, or the message was written by the "French" policeman
(Gendarme) from "Allo Allo".
If bad grammar and spelling were a crime on the Internet, then the only users would be jailbirds! |

From: Jonathan Taylor - Gloucester - Sunday, April 15 Re: The Morfa |
| With regard to Pete's comments (see earlier posting today), Ninth Floor bought the Swans with a view to the RUGBY LEAGUE franchise at the proposed Morfa stadium; does anybody still believe they cared what happened to the Swans? Once their RL franchise bid was turned down, they lost interest in both the Morfa and the future of the Swans. And as for Yorath being spotted putting fuel in a car; he was just making sure Gabby had enough in the tank for her first week in the job, as any proud dad would do. Hollins out, Gabby in!! |

From: Jonathan Taylor - Gloucester - Sunday, April 15 Re: McClure |
| In response to Mr. McClure's two recent appearances in "Wales on Sunday"; beginning with the classic "In hindsight, maybe we should have brought five new players in during the summer". Any one of the contributors to this guestbook could have told you that was necessary a year ago, Mr. McClure. Who are you going to blame? The hapless Hollins, or yourself? and secondly, if you're going to be disappointed if you're still at Swansea in six months time, rest assured that I will be bloody mortified! |

From: Rod Humphreys - Loughor - Sunday, April 15 Re: Surely a misprint |
| Whilst looking through the recent copy of Kerrang! Magazine, I was reading an interview with the Stereophonics. Then they came on the topic of gigs, and this is where I was confused, see if you can spot the mistake: ""A year later, they outdid themselves by giving Swansea's 50,000 - capacity Morfa Stadium a send off louder than its ACTUAL DEMOLITION THE NEXT DAY"" So if this is true, then why when I was down there on Wednesday, was it the same? So surely this is a misprint. |

From: crayford jack - kent - Sunday, April 15 Re: swansea city |
| as you can see from my address i live in kent.Last week i spent it in dundee with my family.on saturday we left to travel to swansea from dundee, to drop my daughter off with family for the week,we left at a time to get to see the rotherham game.after spendingover nine hours on the road i arrived at the vetch with about twenty minutes to go due to roadworks, traffic etc.i explained how far i had travelled to try to catch the game but they wouldnt let me in.the only way they would was to pay the entrance fee!.to me this sums up the people at the helm of the club and their complete disregard of the real people behind this club the true fans.I've spent twenty seven years following this club.I will NEVER spend a single penny on them ever again watching, buying tops etc. |

From: Pete - Swansea - Sunday, April 15 Re: Swansea City Council & The Swans |
|
The present uncertainty about the Swans is due in no small
amount to our inept council.
No soccer club can survive on what comes through the turnstiles, on about thirty days of the year. Ninth floor bought the Swans with the intention of building a facility at the Morfa. The profits from the ancillary activities would subsidise the day to day running expenses of the soccer club. After dragging their feet for what seems like an age, the council finally decided that they would build the Morfa stadium. They will then allow the Swans and the Whites to rent it. This has turned what was potentially a profitable enterprise, into what could be a loss-making mill stone, which no board of directors can accept. Swansea City Councilors must leave business enterprise to businessmen and concentrate on the things they should be doing, like trying to fill in all the holes in our roads. |
