Lol, now we find out the Trust is also a shambles!

From another site:

"Yeah. The Trusts Supporters Director has been receiving a 40 grand wage from the club for years.

The Trust did not think that this may represent a conflict of interest.

The Trust has tried to hide this fact from their members. Or chose not to tell them. In fact they've told direct lies, as the have said for years that the SD works very hard, totally unpaid.

The Supporters Director still regularly goes out on the piss with the people who have shat all over the Trust. He's still their mate, despite feeling very upset and betrayed by their actions.

The Trust board have all disappeared from the internet apart from Uxbridge.

The Trusts Supporters Director has been using a sockpuppet on the Trust chairmans forum to defend the hard work done by the Supporters Director.

When asked about all this, the Trust refused to answer. When pressed, the Trust admitted it and now they're going to do something about it. And they're sorry they hadn't done anything until it was forced out of them. But they have been very busy. And now everythings OK because they're going to do something about it.

I think that just about covers it."

I've never rated that referee Johnathan Moss. He's a bit if a prat.

Then I found this while googling his name.

i thought he got the penalty wrong TBH , Ali definitely conned the ref no doubt but in all fairness it works both ways & Neil Taylor was lucky to stay on the pitch after that assault on Kyle Walker early on in the first half.

It's all swings & roundabouts & as much as i like Swansea city they didn't deserve anything out of yesterday,

The Swansea you liked is long gone. We're down this season and the way things have panned out over the last 12 months, after yesterday's display i really dont care.

Agreed.

Everyone's favorite second Premiership team is history.

Our club has gone from role-model to absolute joke in the space of 3 years.

I have fully accepted we are going down, the ride is over, it was great while it lasted (the Rodgers and Laudrup era anyway) but I wouldn't be surprised to see us plying our trade back in the lower leagues in the next 5 years.

It breaks my heart.

We're being humiliated. The amount of goals we've conceded is frightening, I dont think, pound for pound, that we have ever been this bad.

Bradley just got the bullet.

Don't know why they sacked Guidolin.

After reading today's statement by the Trust, the balance of the decision making might be shifting.

That Icelandic chap is a bit of alright - he'd get a slot in a few PL teams I reckon.

Erm....

Ya, him!

Jokes aside, it's sad seeing what once appeared to be a model club in terms of mamagement and structure going to the dogs like this.

I don't know the ins and outs of Swansea but what's caused this? You have Rodgers, Laudrup, and Monk then seemed to panic and get rid of Monk for no obvious reason and it's all gone to st since then.

I've nothing against Bradley and Guidolin but they simply seem a pair of random names that may as well have been picked from a hat.

Seems an impossible job given the players available, wonder who is next for the job? Hope Coleman stays with Wales.

In my view a combination of things:

1. Our Chairman taking a self-imposed DOF role after sacking Laudrup and effectively being in charge of player recruitment.

2. The above landing us with a large amount of dross and failure to succession plan (still relying on Leon Britton / Angel Rangel etc who need to be put out to pasture).

3. Monk, despite being a great servant and having an exceptional first year on a points basis, was slowly eroding our style of play.

But mostly the player recruitment piece - since Laudrup, incoming players have generally been worse than the player they replaced.
