Swansea's American owners insist chairman Huw Jenkins will stay 'for a long time' despite fan criticism

Swansea's American owners have pledged chairman Huw Jenkins will stay at the Premier League club for 'a long time' despite criticism from fans.

Steve Kaplan and Jason Levien answered questions at a forum hosted by Swansea City Supporters' Trust on Tuesday night, and admitted to mistakes over last season's takeover and the managerial appointment of Bob Bradley.

The former United States manager lasted only 85 days before he was sacked in December.

But the owners defended Jenkins who, with other selling shareholders, was urged to leave during Swansea's troubled start to the season.
