if we take out the Scunny youth who are making their way in the game that still leaves a lot of really poor quality players, unforgivably selected by the Chairman for professional contracts.
If we say the 20 players are paid on average £50k per year then we are spending £1m p.a. on playing staff who we would struggle to move on. We’d have to try and sell O’Malley for £1m to cover the cost of Swann’s folly!

My removal of the first part of the quote made no difference at all. You clearly insinuate that they were all signed by Swann.
Don’t get me wrong, I think that the man is an egotistical buffoon, however, there is no proof that he chose them all. The trouble is that someone on here will say it and it gets repeated ad inifinitum, and then people treat it as fact.
There is plenty of ammunition with which to attack Swann, but it is unfair to make up something and then attack him with it.
