First, whether people agree with UTI or not he is perfectly entitled to his opinion and should be able to offer it without name-calling or abuse from others.
Second, all this stuff about Wharton is nauseating. The abuse he — and other members of his board — received on here was appalling, yet now he’s viewed as some sort of messiah. I backed Wharton through and through but he did make mistakes and didn’t leave the club in great shape.
Having said all of that, Swann has been a total and utter disaster. I backed him for as long as I felt able, but it’s now very clear that I was completely wrong to do so. The feeling I’m left with is that the club’s been a play-thing for him and his sons and that Mrs Wharton’s stepped in and said “enough”. Of course I have no evidence for that but it’s my recollection she sold her Wilko shares for a great deal of money, some of which probably ended up with the club and I know how my wife would have reacted in a similar situation. Evening meals would have been interesting…
As always, of course, we, the fans, are the ones who suffer as a result of all this nonsense. Swann’s made sure his nest remains nicely feathered on the back of the club, having wasted millions; and here I agree entirely with the OP.
IF Swann has ANY conscience he will do everything he can to get the club back into the league and provide the financial security he always vowed was his intention. Having seen what’s happened, however, I’m not holding my breath. I do fear for our future.
