Yes he had no role in anything he made the team worse at every turn. The managers and players came to Swansea by pure chance and if it wasn't for Huw we'd be in the Champions League.
No. I think you misunderstod what I said.
It's not so much about the players he signed, although in the last couple of years he bought a lot of crap. I don't blame him so much for the flops he brought in, because every club signs flops from time to time.
I blame him for the lack of vision and for appointing managers who destroyed Swanselona style of play. From Martinez to Laudrup we had a special style of football admired by every football fan and manager all over the world. That style of football, and players capable of playing it, was the main reason we rose from the League 2 to Europa League. Imagine Jenkins + Bob Bradley in the League 2, and not Jenkins + Martinez? Where would we be with Bob Bradley?
When we were still in Europa League, FA Cup and 12th in the Premier League, Jenkins pushed the panic button because he couldn't cope with the pressure and risk. But success in three competitions can't come without any risk for a small club like Swansea. He started to talk about 'eroded values' and other crap whilst in the same time he backstabbed one of our best managers ever. Is backstabbing a value? Especially backstabbing the manager who brought the first ever major trophy to Swansea and played some great football.
In 2013/14 he massively backed Monk and brought Gomis, Montero, Gylfi, Fabianski...in. Never ever has any Swansea manager got so much financial support from Jenkins like Monk did. We had almost two Premier League squads. Bony and Gomis up front. Do you remember how much Jenkins cried when Laudrup forced him to buy Bony? He said he will never use so much money on one player again. But he had to because Laudrup threatened to leave. In his mind he was still in the Championship. And then, when he sold Bony to Manchester City, it was him who got all credit. And you know what? We lost Aubameyang, who was Laydrup's first choice, because of Jenkins. F****** Aubameyang!!! Jenkins waited simply too long and Aubameyang later signed for Dortmund. Then Iago Aspas who later signed for Liverpool. But ok, everybody can make mistakes when it comes to player transfers, but our chairman must not make mistakes about our fundation - our style of football. Jenkins was simply afraid of success that comes through risks. That's why he appointed Monk who applied defensive football and nick-a-goal philosophy. Set-pieces became our main weapon, not free-flowing attacking football and triangles. No risks off the pitch was paired with no risks on the pitch. The rest is history.
