Really? Good idea? Expecting 2k fans to stump up almost £2k? Sorry mate, not ‘botched implementing’ but fantasy land IMO. Fixed what exactly?

[Deereyme66]

‘Any actual evidence that Hilton tried and failed to get £3.5 million?’

Er, the 1899 scheme? Or have I got that wrong?

[Deereyme66]

‘Hilton tried for months to get the money via loans and investments, but he failed miserably due to his dodgy track record and lack of collateral. He tried to offer lenders parts of the land and lots of interest, but they were the people he’d already ripped off, so it was a no go.’

Don’t know about that Jordan. Do you have evidence of the above?

[Deereyme66]

‘One of two people are telling porkies.’

I know who my money is on

[Deereyme66]

See what I mean WG? Just because he says it, don’t make it true mate. Wish it was, but I’m hardly surprised. And there’s plea’s to back the guy? Purlease, more like.

[Deereyme66]

He’ll be saving some operating costs on reduced non playing staff. But some of that will be countered by hiring training and match day stadia. Bit of a conundrum. Unless…!!! A cunning plan, that cannot fail….hmm, what other option might there be?

[Deereyme66]

Don’t think Swann will accept £20k a month personally, not least because Hilton, in his words, has fallen out with him, and has now spent a fair amount of time slagging him off at the forum. Even if he did, that’s £20k a month down on club running costs immediately. Has he got deep pockets, because I’ve seen no evidence than they’re that deep!

Don’t think there’s any need for being reduced to name calling and insults II. I think the majority of other posters are capable of reading WGs latest posts and making their own minds up.

‘They are probably calling each others bluff so we will probably find out the rights and wrongs of the situation when we know who blinks first.’

Two ‘probably’s’ in the final paragraph that are more reasonably ‘possiblies’. I see only one person trying to call the other one’s bluff. I doubt the full ‘rights and wrongs’ will ever be in the public domain due to NDA’s.

[Deereyme66]

It is what it is, but I find it difficult to be happy with the hand we’ve got atm.

[Deereyme66]

His fairly recent fall outs with other councils over redevelopment projects doesn’t instill confidence

applauding!? unbelievable………….

Well, we know that the Swann swiping was applauded-that ‘easy clapping’ Cliff mentioned. What else? A couple of signs up and not getting the deal done, as speculated and rumoured? Good players being signed, can’t argue with that (I trust the player budget stretches to that?), but where they going to be playing home matches? Because I can’t see it being GP.

I’d be shocked if he didn’t

Fools rush in, where angels fear to tread?

[Deereyme66]

This resulting in us having Swann as a landlord in the interim contains massive risks for the club.

Do the club / Hilton really have the money for such a bold move?

And if not – where is the money coming from? Because I’m really not convinced the council does. https://t.co/OJ0yy3psx2

And that’s assuming Swann will accept £20k a month. He thinks he’s going to accept £240k over 12 months? Really?

How many will want a refund? I’ve sent a few members on Twitter saying they don’t want one.

[Deereyme66]

So the reality is probably, ‘not a leg to stand on’ I would assume.

If what Hilton is proposing was more realistic and there was less bluster and cloak and dagger (not letting the forum be filmed in case Swann uses it against him?? What??), I’d be more comfortable with it all. But too many things have happened already and the issue òf tenancy at GP leaves too much left up in the air. Supporters will make their own mind up. I just hope those that are not on board are respected by those that are, because at present, on social media, it seems to be getting worse, not better.

Agreed Siderite. I think there’s a lot of wishful thinking going on. The reality will be what’s legally binding and it being enforced. All we can do is sit and watch it unfold. I’ve no love for Swann but I’m certainly not getting on board yet with what I’m witnessing so far.

‘In the short term, he hopes we remain at Glanford park. This is where it gets confusing and to be honest I can’t explain it well; he is sub letting the ground from himself’

Very confusing. How can a tenant sub-let to himself; a place he doesn’t even own? Makes no sense. Unless there are examples of it happening elsewhere?

Has he really got the council on board WG? Can you substantiate that? Seems to have said that but who knows? No need to tell AA to shut up either.

Is Hilton expecting an Eastenders ‘get outta my pub!!’ type battle? Can’t see it playing out like that. Whether II is right to claim it’ll take a week, remains to be seen. As my Bury mate used to say every week for a year or more: ‘watch this space!’

Share a number of your thoughts in your post BS but this bit is a stretch;

‘he seems to hold a vendeter against the SUFC Fan base, and will do his utmost to plot against them,’

How about ‘he just wants the funds from the sale that was agreed’?

[Deereyme66]

When you say ‘a project like this’ Rich; what is that? ‘A proper modern stadium’ he hasn’t promised. Unless I’m mistaken? Couple of basic stands accommodating 3k? Sounds a it more realistic. A lot of ifs buts and maybes isn’t there. Suppose we’ll see what he’s proposing fairly soon. Well I’d hope so!

[Deereyme66]

You said we were playing at Gainsborough next season season II and that’s not happening. I don’t think we’ll be homeless in a week. Assuming lawyers are taking this to the next level now, I don’t see any reason why it will take only a week to be evicted. Could easily drag on for months and months. They’re not renowned for quick resolutions are they?
