The facts are indeed very simple, and impossible to deny. Only correct comment you've come out with. The fans own 20%. For a majority you need over 50%. Get yourself a basic stats book!

Perhaps a dictionary might help. Someone who spends every Saturday on the terraces watching their local football team, week in, week out, top of the league or bottom of the league, good times or bad times, rain or shine, is called a 'fan'. They don't suddenly become 'not a fan' because they happen to have enough money to join a consortium of people buying that local club, and they don't suddenly become 'not a fan' because they put their own money and time into rescuing that club from extinction, and they don't suddenly become 'not a fan' because they succeed in turning the club around, and they don't suddenly become 'not a fan' because, after 10 years of putting their whole life and soul (and money and time, often at the expense of their own outside business interests) into a club and turning it from total failure and bankruptcy to success and profit they get a little bit back from the now profitable business (thanks to them) for their efforts.
To suggest they do is total fantasy nonsense from some dream world where anyone who has a little bit of money is somehow an 'evil traitor to mankind' who can't possibly be anything other than a 'money-grabbing enemy of the working man'.

Perhaps a dictionary might help Yep, look up the word "majority". 20% is a minority. Those 20% didn't take the windfall as that would be inconsistent with fan behaviour.

That claim is utterly ridiculous, and can only be based on a deep personal hatred against anyone who dares to make a little money from their own investments and hard work.

Sounds like you're clueless over what being a fan entails. The Swansea fans themselves showed it in its full glory: they re-invested the windfall into their club. You've made a nonsense claim. 20% isn't a majority.

So the preliminaries are done, lots of transfers have been made, and the season is about to kick off. What are people's thoughts on how things will go this season? I predict seven riots and three deaths for the season.
