Swann was shown to be a mouthy pratt there, and a braggart here.
not much difference.
He never took their ground though.

He tried to relocate Trinity, but the Blues Club (supporters’ association) owned (own) the pitch and wouldn’t go along with his plans, so he left the club ‘debt free’ but with an unsustainable wage bill that arguably ultimately led to the first relegation in their 100+ year history.

A similar arrangement exists at Chelsea, where Abramovich owns everything at Stamford Bridge except the pitch, which is owned by 13000+ fans via the Chelsea Pitch Owners’ plc.
