Swansea City: ‘Death threats’ unacceptable, says Supporters Trust

“We accept and understand that scrutiny and criticism come with whatever roles we play to try and make Swansea City something we can all be proud of. Passions are obviously running high at present and sometimes we may not get it right.

“But to hear and receive some of what has come into the club and the Trust over the past few days is unacceptable, will not be tolerated, and has absolutely no place in society.”

In a letter to fans, the Trust stressed that a failure to make January signings and speculation about head coach Luke Williams’ future and captain Matt Grimes – who is subject to interest from Coventry City – have worsened the morale of fans.

“Poor results, lacklustre performances and speculation surrounding approaches for our head coach and more recently our captain have had a demoralising effect, particularly among supporters,” it said.

“Fans are also rightly concerned that we are headed for another disappointing end to the transfer window and what knock-on effect that may have on our status as a Championship club.

“In short, those of us who passionately follow the club are understandably becoming increasingly frustrated, concerned and discouraged by recent events.”

The Trust is urging chairman Andy Coleman to call a fans forum at the close of the transfer window and to commit to two meetings per season going forward.

Swansea City have been approached for comment.
