Yesterday I listened to the podcast which Iron Bru did with Peter Swann. I know he was unpopular with your fanbase and you couldn’t wait to see the back of him, but I thought he spoke very well. He’s certainly a different operator to Hilton.
As I see it, Swann’s biggest mistake to date is doing a deal with Hilton and I suspect by now, he knows it. That said, Swann’s in the driving seat now because of how events have unfolded. Unless Swann and his advisors have had a bad day at the office, I can’t image that he would have transferred his shares in Scunthorpe United FC without there being a clause in the sale agreement which states that Hilton must complete on the purchase of the freehold otherwise the shares revert back to the seller.
Is the relationship between Matt Ellis, Matt Blanchard & Peter Swann still a cordial one and if it is, I would be interested to hear how Swann intends on moving this forward.
