Bucks, I’m simply not buying that . When Covid struck in March 2020, we were already back in the fourth division and struggling. From memory, our last game of the 19/20 season was a desperate home defeat to Grimsby.
Hurst had already been sacked at that point. We already had a weakened squad. Swann himself said last year that “Our budget is now a third of what it was two years ago.”
I don’t doubt that Covid has hit Swann’s other businesses and particularly affected his cashflow. But I do not agree with your assertion.
