Mr Wharton was far too successful for a man with limited resources who only ran the club as a hobby. How could a man with probably three times his wealth, with an astute business plan behind him and the acumen to run the club more professionally ever hope to equal or even beat the success of Mr Wharton.
I don’t think so regarding personal wealth. You forget where the family fortune was based, it was not sold cheaply.
And I believe the Swann resources are from the wife’s side.
