Jan 31 – American rapper and producer Snoop Dogg said he wanted to be hands-on in helping to drive Swansea City back to the Premier League after investing in the Championship club.<\/p>\n
Snoop Dogg became an investor with the Welsh side in July, along with\u00a0Croatian midfielder\u00a0Luka Modric, while businesswoman and television personality Martha Stewart joined as a minority co-owner in December.<\/p>\n
“I want to be real hands on, I want to take the club in a direction maybe it hasn’t been before,” Snoop Dogg told Wales Online on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“We want to take Swansea to the Premier League, and to do that we are going to need money – that’s the reality of the game these days.”<\/p>\n
Swansea are 16th in the English second-tier Championship, with more than half of the season played, and a long way from a play-off spot, but the 54-year-old American still believes the season can provide some positives.<\/p>\n
“It’s been steady and even though Swansea is a long-term project, we got to still dream for this season,” he said.<\/p>\n
“In the Championship you always got to believe that play-off place is alive, in this game you got to dream.”<\/p>\n
He praised the team’s supporters, saying he wanted to engage with them and listen to their views to better understand the club.<\/p>\n
“These fans are passionate, they are real, and I want to hear what they got to say when I am in Swansea,” he added.
