The point is that he would have to care, Cass. Whatever he might claim in public the facts would be very clear. The problem at the moment is that he can brush comments aside because the evidence behind them is fragmented and subjective. This all makes it far too easy for him to sidestep the issues.
The benefit of the poll is that it’s hard evidence. I’m happy to do the formal statistical analysis but I can already tell you — from the numbers that are there — that the results cannot be argued with. Swann won’t like them but he wouldn’t be able to brush them aside. In support of what Ferrite is saying this also focuses everything on Swann himself.
What supporters think and feel does matter, even in a small club like ours.
