People will say that the subsequent issues found by Hilton justify the refusal to commit to paying. However, if the court rules against Hilton, stating that Swann hasn’t moved goalposts significantly and there are any comments which make such found issues seem small, I won’t be thanking Hilton for ‘trying his best’. I will be blaming him for his part in what would be a bad outcome for the club, alongside Swann.
