Yep under Swann we changed from a club spotting talent, bringing it in then selling it on for profit when they had improved enough to be wanted by bigger clubs with bigger budgets. This basically kept us turning over reasonably successfully and for awhile we climbed the league structure to our highest point since the early sixties. Mr Swann bought a lot of decent players in who were over our budget and we got one promotion from league two and a couple of playoff flirtations but in the end had to sell our better players to pay off some of a huge debt we should never have been lumbered with. As many have said before, one man’s vanity almost cost us our club, that’s why we should be patient and tolerant with our current management structure, without them we would have been toast
