Former Swans Shareholder Rob Davies Says Club Is Heading For Oblivion

Former shareholder Rob Davies fears Swansea City could follow in the footsteps of Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool and Wigan and tumble down the leagues if the fans don’t start getting behind the team and the board. Davies sold his shares for £9m last year when the American consortium took control and has looked on in dismay ever since as in-fighting and poor results have steered the club to the bottom of the Premier League. But Davies, who invested £50,000 on the morning of the crisis match against Hull City in 2001 and then added a further tranche of £50,000 afterwards, believes relegation is the least of the clubs problems.

Birds, Flowers And Precious Points For Carlos Carvalhal

Carlos Carvalhal warned Swansea City’s dramatic 2-1 win at Watford is just the first, small step on the long road to Premier League survival. The Swans were staring at another damaging defeat, and in danger of being cast further adrift at the bottom, as they trailed to Andre Carrillo’s goal with time running out in Carvalhal’s first game in charge. However, Jordan Ayew sparked the revival with an 86th-minute equaliser and substitute Luciano Narsingh completed the thrilling comeback moments before full-time.
