Seem to remember Hilton said there were 3 things he had requested to be clarified.
1. The so called ransom strip of unregistered land between ground and training pitch.
2. Right of access on the other side of the ground for a local farmer (Jackson?)
3. Clarification on the expiry (or otherwise) of planning permission on the land still being valid. This was something Hilton said Swann had promised but the local council had suggested was lapsed so would need re-application.
Hilton felt only issue 1 would take time due to land registry changes taking 8 to 10 weeks hence he offered £20k per month rental until Swann could clear the issues.
Hilton said Swann refused the request and subsequently refused to communicate with Hilton.
Please note I am reporting what was said to the best of my recollection. Can’t comment on the truth of it or otherwise.
