The club says it is prepared to consider all avenues to raise income, including bringing in high profile investors that have been discussed for some time.
Luka Modric and Snoop Dogg are linked to the project, with Modric described as passionate and humble and Snoop Dogg as a global star with a large audience. The owners are described as ambitious and eager to help Swansea improve across all areas as quickly as possible, a message echoed by chief executive Tom Gorringe.

The next steps will test how far ambition carries the team from concept to concrete results.
