We don’t know everything, but I don’t think faffing around with some property developer for ages because he wouldn’t sell to a local consortium is the sign of someone who was acting just in the interests of the club. I think we can have some assumptions as to why it took so long for him to prioritise Elliott and Sharp.
If you were selling you’d look for the best deal you could get. Rightly so.
We don’t know if the local bid was ready when the London consortium made theirs. Swann cannot be blamed for selling the club!! We’ve been on at him for the last 3 years to do so.
