Mr Swann’s own words:-
“Although I have not actively been looking for a new owner, I have been talking to several groups who have an interest in the club and having stepped down I can spend more time now working toward finding a new owner for the club and securing its future.
I am delighted that Lee Turnbull has agreed to come in and oversee the operational side of the football club.”
The respective roles of Mr Swann and Mr Turnbull are clearly stated here.
Who should have been speaking to the prospective buyers?(And supporting the team as has asked the fans to do.) If I’m buying a house I want to speak to the person with whom I can negotiate not somebody who can give me a cup of tea whilst I look round.
