Not really sure if Huw Jenkins is goid news for us or not. I have always been led to believe that he is a decent man, a footballing man but living in Wales and having as many mates who support Swansea as I do Cardiff, I have had a few messages in the last hour or so, some of which are concerning. Firstly he is big pals with Graham Jones, the Luton manager who not long ago unexpectedly resigned. Secondly while at Swansea he had a huge bust up with Pratley. Finally there are quite a few Swans fans who think he is bad news, capable of fucking us right over. Surely not another one. Not what I am seeing Swansea fans loved him and would have him Back tomorrow .. they don’t like their new owners

Personally I would have Adolf Hitler and Vlad the Impaler over Southall and Nimer.

I would take their word over anything to do with their club than believe anything you have to say about hours. I thought the club did well there and he's a very likeable bloke but when fans of theirs for the last 30 odd years tell you stuff, doubts do appear.

Huw won't be the money man if the deal goes through at least he has experience at being a chairman unlike Southall six months ago.

Based on his Chairmanship at Swansea they’ve gone from Division 3 (League two) to the Premier League. He must’ve done something right!

The bar is so low for owners at the moment that I will settle for someone who can keep us in business and not use us as some kind of weird experiment / vanity project.

The Huw Jenkins deal is done and was organised by Chris Farnell who also happens to be the solicitor of Jenkins and (surprise surprise) Tahnoon. But all is not what it seems. Jenkins is just a front and there is no new money being put in!

From what i read and heard from swansea fans is they loved him for 15 years but when he sold club to Americans they never forgiven him for selling to them as their real bad owners so he left hes job as chairman due to fact they were making him do cut backs and didnt like direction club was going he tryed buying club back last year but they refuse to sell back to him

Hi all.
Long time reader, first time poster.
Reams is spot on to raise questions about Jenkins' time at Swansea - especially the circumstances surrounding his departure. I have a few Swans-supporting mates and they're all fairly ambivalent about his time at the club. He certainly left under a dark cloud. Selling the club to American investors didn't go down well, and there are mumblings about a few dodgy deals under his tenure. But, he did oversee the club's rise from the third to the first tier, and compared to Slater/Jiminez, Duchatelet and Southall/Nimer, he's got a pretty decent pedigree.
Not huge competition there, I know, but Jenkins (along with several other money men) did pump a significant amount of money into the the club he grew up supporting, winning a hat full of awards for his chairmanship along the way. This has to be a significant tick in the positive column. Especially, if we're to believe a few scattered reports in the press, considering the Cellino and Bassini-shaped vultures circling the carcass of the club in recent weeks.
Don't get me wrong - I'm not completely won over. If the last ten years have taught us anything, it's caution. But, it's pretty clear that something's got to give, and if it's a choice between Jenkins, Cellino and Bassini? I would say there's not much of a choice there. I just hope Jenkins brings some investors with deep pockets.
As always, the next few weeks'll be interesting!

Is it just me, or does the fact that Swansea fans only real gripe with this Jenkins guy is that he sold out to American investors only prove that actually they must have adored Jenkins himself?

I just hope Jenkins brings some investors with deep pockets. As always, the next few weeks'll be interesting! Here’s our choices: 1) Cellino - A man who’s sacked countless managers and was banned from football by the EFL 2) Bassini - Someone who almost bankrupted Watford and nearly Bolton. 3) Jenkins - Transformed a team from the bottom of League Two to the Premier League and built a decent sized Stadium. Made profit for the club and won the League Cup. Yeah, not much of a choice really!

Quite frankly we are not even beggars so we can’t be choosers. It’s disappointing that someone Welsh may our new owner. But a marked improvement on that big nose, 3rd rate wag shagger , Southall.

Great at the start then his reputation went downhill in the end.

Stability would be great.I know nothing of Jenkins other than being aware of Swansea's rise during his watch,his tenure there looks remarkable,but like I said I have no other knowledge other than observing as a fan of football in general. Hoping this comes off so our sole focus can be the dogfight to retain our championship status.

Disappointing comment regarding being Welsh. Rather have a bloke from where I live than a thieving Manc English cvnt or a Syrian bullshitter.

I don’t know if this is going to be a good thing of not, after reading the last couple of pages, but norfolkrobin is right, we certainly need some stability right now. HJ record at Swansea is far better than anything that we have seen for a long time, but If he doesn’t have enough funds to to buy the whole thing, I assume / hope he has some serious backers.
I’ll reserve judgement for now and see how it develops, but it It must be a positive, if it’s the end of “ tweedledum and tweedledee. Something has to go well for us soon surely.

It is interesting to see the comment and reaction so far, but until an announcement is made, I think it best not to put too much effort into dissecting something that hasn’t happened yet. Premature evaluation is best avoided.
