I have come to the realisation that when it comes to Scunthorpe United Swann talks a good game, but fails to deliver on his promises.
We can all remember those grand promises when he took the helm…the new ground, entertaining football, playing in the Championship…yet here we are, still playing in a dated ground, with the worst squad in memory, struggling to get points on the board, and in real danger of getting relegated out of the football league.
The issue is, in the current economic climate who in the right mind would buy the club right now? Sure we have planning permission to develop the ground, but it would take years to get any kind of ROI. I’m afraid we’re stuck with Swann et. al. until he either gets bored, or runs out of money, or I win the euro millions.
I’m not sure how he runs his entertainment empire, but one thing has become very evident throughout his tenure as chairman, he has failed to deliver on his promises in a somewhat spectacular way!
