We are really bad. It's really down to Chairman and Ownership not putting money into the club.

And it's worse than it looks on the field. There's like 25 listed "minority owners" of the club. The Supporters Trust that helped save the team from disaster back in 2003 is in the process of dissolving after a group of them agreed to sell shares to the ownership. Huw Jenkins is staying out of public view as much as possible because there is a legitimate fear a fan might try to harm him. There are 3 major supporters groups now, all that want different things. Levien and Kaplan are continuing to show their incompetence as owners, and the scouting department hasn't signed a good new player in since Wilfried Bony in 2013. While managing to sell our top scorer for 4 straight seasons.

Supposedly there's a walk out planned when Spurs gets to come kick our tails at home over the New Years break. It's gotten so bad that I've started watching Huddersfield instead of Swansea just to try and remember what it was like when we were the story of the league 5 years ago.

Sad. I appears everything that made me want to be a Swans fan is being undone in the blink of an eye.
