Bonkers of Morriston strikes again

Extract from Inside Swansea Council
17 June 2005

We understand of course that Councillor Robert Francis Davies is anxious to rehabilitate himself after he closed the Leisure Centre but we are not too sure whether making alarmist, unsubstantiated and ever so slightly wacky claims is the way to do it.

His suggestion today that the new Swansea stadium may be wide open to a Malcolm Glazer-style takeover is just malicious nonsense. As Chris Holley says "Carefully drawn-up legal agreements ensure that it cannot be bought-out without the council's consent. This is the people of Swansea's stadium and will remain so."

We are beginning to think that the loss of power and status he suffered in June 2004 is beginning to affect his judgement.
