Swansea Supporters' Trust upset with new owners

Swansea City Supporters' Trust have expressed disappointment at the lack of communication from the club's new owners.

The Trust claims there is still work to be done and say they are frustrated at the lack of communication following the takeover.

Trust chairman Phil Sumbler stated: "We are still to receive any information regarding future plans for the football club, and also what investment into the football club, if any, is proposed.

"We also firmly believe that discussions are urgently required between all parties in order to determine how the buyers will work with the remaining shareholders for the long term benefit of the football club, and the negotiation of a new Shareholders Agreement is key to achieving this, but we are disappointed that our desire to enter into these discussions has not been matched by the buyers or the other remaining shareholders.

"However, we remain keen to work with Messrs Levien and Kaplan and their representatives in order to ensure all parties pull together in the long term interests of the football club. We are also keen to introduce improved governance and structure to the football club to ensure we have an effective plan for the coming season and beyond.

"This is a key time for both Swansea City and the Supporters Trust and it is in everyone's interest that we swiftly conclude negotiations so that, both on and off the field, we can concentrate on the new football season ahead."
