I'm not in the Netherlands, nor am I Dutch but that thanks for the insinuation.
I'm sure that you can check my IP if you are looking to find out who/where I am.
I totally agree with all that is said about the buyout, and how we as fans have been sold down the river etc. I also think that the two protagonists in the current court case are money grabbing scroats who are just looking for one more payout.
No more, no less, no agenda. |

Its clear we are not on the same side.
I would love to air opinions on lots of club related issues, however, as this is now in the national press I felt it was open to public criticism.
The fact that you totally avoided your misdirection about 3G pitches clearly shows you are the one with agenda, and cannot handle a difference of opinion.
Let's leave it there. |

Thanks for your response Lisa, I'm sorry that I haven't yet reached the required number of posts to satisfy you as a 'real fan'. I choose to read rather than post, however, if this doesn't fit with your opinion of my agenda we'll agree to disagree.
My post about pitches was a moan at the fact that government are not prepared to get behind sporting facilities in the UK in the same way our European counterparts do, this seems a reasonable question to ask, and, judging by replies afterwards, it seems to be a view felt by more than just myself, but, hey ho lets not let the facts get in the way.
Regarding, MY views on the current court case, I feel that this is a state of affairs that needn't have gone this far, however, if you were the ex-employer would you have just settled out of court to keep the case away from the press? or if you felt you were in the right would you have had your day in court?
I have no agenda, I was merely posting on a public forum MY opinion, the same way that you post yours. I'm not pro the American's, in fact, I would love SCFC to still be a 'community' club, but, as soon as the final whistle was blown at Wembley we stopped being 'little old Swansea' and became another cog in the Premier League wheel. I don't like the fact that our club is 'like the rest' but we all have to accept that this is progress, not as we would like it, but, as with all other businesses, growth is the overriding driver behind their existence.
My point really about the case is that it is two very well paid individuals objecting to not being well paid anymore, and attempting to use the law to ensure they get one last pay off as a 'F You' to their previous employers.
It does no one any good at all, and is a sorry state of affairs, but, to accuse me of having an agenda because my views don't match yours is disappointing to say the least, we all support the same team after all. |

Bitter people wanting to cause as much fuss about something no one gives a flying fig about.
I love the part about wanting a bonus to reflect their efforts! They all did very well thank you very much from SCFC in the time they were there, with an annual salary of £100k plus the free tickets/travel/hospitality they ALL received when they travelled with the team, not to mention the pre-season trips to the States etc...
Sour grapes and typical legal types looking for loopholes to squeeze more money from a cash cow. I know that HJ et al are not well like in Swansea, but, this isn't going to help these two in the long term either as they are painting themselves as money hungry sycophants who don't like it when mummy takes the bottle away.
SCFC does not need this at this time.....the circus continues. |

Whilst I wish the two all the best, it does seem rather rich that two men who have done very well financially out of SCFC are now looking for more money to top up their retirement funds. One of them was invoicing the club for a consultancy fee each month on top of a salary, whilst the other was being paid handsomely whilst taking his wife on expensive away trips courtesy of SCFC for gratis....
I have no axe to grind with either, however, just because they are up against the establishment we should not forget that they too have had their turn at the trough. |

That is one of the saddest uses of a keyboard ever. Do you honestly think that lampard, gerrard etc never had a pint?
FFS England's loss was Swansea's gain and thank god he didn't have you standing behind him every time he went to the bar. |

He lives in what used to be Taylor’s house, prior to that it was owned by the club and Brendan and Paulo were the previous residents. Small details I know, but, Derwen Fawr it ain’t. |

Reply | Rising parking costs at the rec.
at 11:20 20 Sep 2017
The recreation ground was bequeathed to the people of Swansea by Dame Adelina Patti, it was to be used as somewhere for them to enjoy recreational pursuits and the council cannot legally enforce you to pay for parking there. This has long been a bone of contention to the residents of Brynmill, and, having put the theory to the test the chap who tried to charge me for parking backed down when I mentioned about the legal covenant.
That is all. |

Reply | Should the Swans fund 4 G Pitches for the community??
at 14:51 21 Jul 2017
It seems rather rich that football clubs are asked to provide for the community just because they are seen to have surplus funds that can be used to fund local projects.
Using the Netherlands as a direct comparisson where the central/local government provide ALL of the Sportparks, and the clubs that use them manage the clubhouse (and take profits from refreshment sales). I cannot see why this model could not be applied to the UK.
We are always told we are an affluent country, one of the most powerful counties etc.. yet we are always looking for others to bail out national problems i.e. railways, Royal mail etc..
It's about time that central goverment took reponsibility for the growing obesity crisis and general malaise of their population by offering subsidised facilities. There is no reason this isn't achievable, it is only because their focus is on making sure their mates in the city are looked after rather than the other 59 million inhabitants that we are always fighting a losing battle for causes such as this.
You only have to look at the recent disasters that have hit the UK i.e. Grennfell, Manchester, London Bridge etc to see that the movers and shakers are the general public not the government, it is the public and the power of social media that have kept these topics relevant, if it were down to the politicians we'd be kept in the dark.
I totally understand thst the money in football is obscene, but, just because the Premier League is doing well it sholudn't have to make up the shortfall of the failings of central and local government who have ridden roughshod over their electorate for years.
So, come on Chairwoman May et al, get your cash out and spend it on things we all want not what the Eton massive require. |
