The Swannster was in yesterday’s Racing Post:

Was a great article in the Racing Post. Stated in court that in the 10 years with an account at Ladbrokes declared MR Swann had lost near to £5 million in 10 years !! So £500,000 a year !

Got zero sympathy for him – grown man so his fault,

A “multi millionaire” who can’t/won’t pay his debts?
A “mug punter”
A failed football club owner.
The owner of an unbuilt hotel.
Crikey he’s an unlucky bloke isn’t he? Or maybe it isn’t bad luck?

None of those listed are to do with being unlucky, particularly ‘mug punter’

..and he clearly needs medical help, gambling addiction has ruined many lives.

Anyone that loses five million quid over ten years through gambling deserves all they don’t get. A true definition of a mug punter.

I agree.

We can’t remove him from our history.

I read this with interest but didn’t post a link or comment due to potential litigation …. think it said he’d gambled circa 20 million. Any type of addiction is ruinous. Did this contribute to the financial situation at all his interests at the time?

Was NEVER his website – has always been independent as stated by Matt.

‘His’ in the sense of its mine, it’s yours, it’s Swannys because he became a member.
Everyone is equal once allowed to join, lots of us thought it was wrong to let swanny join but the mods thought otherwise.
