I wouldn’t say a post making allegations about a poster’s links is as important as those about games or the current off-field issues.
People make this big deal as to who IB is, but I don’t see why it’s of major importance. He says he is a fan of another club who experienced hardship and is now interested in other clubs being run well. That may be true, but he takes a large interest which would be unsurprising if he was someone who had previous dealings with Hilton and got burned. Ultimately, I don’t think it matters too much, because what matters is the content and the content he has shared has had a lot of truth in it and this has proven useful in being able to ascertain what kind of character Hilton is. Which is important, since he is the owner of our club and that comes with huge responsibility. I am not a fan of overly secretive handling of club matters; I understand that not everything can be out in the open, but there are some things which I would like to know to have trust. We don’t know Hilton’s wealth or his source for it, for example, and IB’s work has revealed concerns there. I can only see faith in such as blind faith at present, and ignoring it will only cause the problem to go potentially undetected until it’s too late.
All this talk of IB being a Swann associate is mere rumour, but it will be interesting to see if those suspicious of rumours about Hilton (not talking specifically about on here) will just take this at face value.
