So here we are ‘playing’ non league football, and hanging on by the skin of our teeth. I don’t blame our caretaker boss, or even our players. They are piss poor, but they didn’t hire themselves.
Word is that a new manager will not be appointed until the club is sold, and that the current club owner will not make any money available for new players.
If the only way to raise money to buy new players is to sell the ones we have is a recipe for disaster. We don’t have any future stars that will fetch us a couple of million, and we don’t have any assets that we can use to guarantee payment of any kind of loan.
In short, this is all down to an incompetent hobbyist chairman, who wasted millions in an attempt to get us promoted from L1. When we didn’t succeed, and even though we came pretty close, he got bored and pulled the plug. Now all he wants is to get his money back, which he won’t get, we have gone from decent L1 to crap NL. The club has been massively devalued. It’s all about the land which belongs to Swann’s own company (Coolsilk). The Iron are in his way now. He will need the club to go bust so that he can sell the land.
I did defend him at first, but his threats to sue a supporter for criticising him was a red flag for me. He was only ever in it for himself.
So do us all a favour Swann, kindly and in the nicest of ways. Give us back our land then please do F off.
