He's selling all our best players again, while claiming he has no money to bring in a replacement for any of them.

And in True Jason Levien fashion, He's making all of these moves a mere hours after the deadline to renew season tickets for next season...

Everything he touches turns to ****. I know I post that every time his name is mentioned but it is so true.

Our Deadline day today was nuts.

Club Captain Leroy Fer flies to France, to complete a permanent switch to Lille. Lands in France, gets a phone call. Aston Villa outbids Lille and he's sent to Villa to do same.

Dan James, probably one of our brightest young talents, Been no secret for a month that Leeds has wanted him ever since Marcelo Bielsa did an interview in which highlights of James were running on his CPU in the background. Swansea want 12 million. Leeds want to pay 6. Swansea starts James on Tuesday and he gets a goal in a Man of the Match performance. We hold firm on price. Finally Leeds caves. 1 Million dollar Loan to the end of the season. To be followed with a 10 million dollar sale provided Leeds earns promotion in May. James heads to Leeds. Gets spotted by Sky Sports Camera heading in for his medical

Meanwhile, a seething Graham Potter holds a press conference in which he basically admits that he has no idea what the club is doing, and supporters have every right to be very angry. Says he won't resign, but essentially admits he does not approve of either move.

Both Fer and James pass their medicals at Villa and Leeds respectively. Both clubs pick up the phone to call Swansea to indicate the players have cleared medicals and to fax paper work over to finalize transfers. There's no answer. Literally, no one picks up the phone. Confused, both clubs do the usuals, Intro video, Club tours, the works.

All the while, they keep calling Swansea. No one ever picks up the phone. Finally after a couple hours of mass confusion. Swansea finally picks up the phone a couple minutes before the transfer deadline, and tells both Leeds and Villa that the deals are off and to have the players return to South Wales. As for what happened...no one knows. The current report is that someone within the club went rogue against the ownership and managed to cause enough issues that it forced the club to back down. No one knows who it was, or why. All we know is that neither Leeds or Villa is very happy with us.

Beat that you Premier League Scum. You and your 9 figure transfers. Bet you can't.
