The devil will be on the detail and I would hope the detail is transparent if and when a deal is finally done. Might be premature to be anxious about his individual wealth – he may have other investors.

[Deereyme66]

Lol, the sooner he’s sold up and I stop having to read ‘Swannster’, the better!

Genuinely hope this goes through but still interested to know if he’s done due dilligence yet. We were at this stage before with the local consortium. I know Hilton’s stepped down as Chair at Ilkeston but wouldn’t he need to do that anyway in order to be eligible to bid, given one person can’t own two clubs at once?

[Deereyme66]

‘If nothing else, it brought this new interest to the table and saving this Club is the only thing that matters’

Lol, saw that earlier. Why is he suggesting he was influential in getting Hilton to bid? Because Hilton wants to spare us from him? 🤣

[Deereyme66]

Has he done his due dilligence yet?

[Deereyme66]

Pardon?

[Deereyme66]

Damn, I thought you were going to tell us you’d found a way to power your house with your own farts.

[Deereyme66]

I’ll believe it when it’s signed sealed and delivered this time. Still, if it means I don’t have to read ‘Big Al or bust’ again, that’s a bonus.

It’s a grind keeping up with yet more sleaze. As you’ve eluded to on the other thread, it’s tiresome having to keep up with it. And I know there’s probably more we don’t know about yet.

Here’s one for your memory nurse awaýwego. Do you remember someone called Kenny with long fair hair who seemed to know that crowd in the pic, particularly Toppo, late 70s. Only remember seeing him occasionally, so I don’t know if he stopped going or moved away, or whatever. One thing I remember though, he had a bit of presence and they all seemed to look up to him. Ring any bells?

[Deereyme66]

If he does get in, I hope he’s not too hard on the current staff.

It just gets better and better. What has SUFC done to deserve this conveyor belt of doom?

[Deereyme66]

Fair enough, I’ll take your word for it. I’d rather not talk to your memory nurse, thanks all the same!

[Deereyme66]

I wouldn’t expect you to understand tbh awaywego.

[Deereyme66]

Why burn bridges at this stage awaywego? Better to wait amd see how it plays out. They’d be pretty naive to start spilling all now wouldn’t they?

Just relaying what Gareth said awaywego. Bit touchy aren’t you? Tbh, that’s genuinely the first time I’ve seen you say that Swann might have refused to sell to them (unless I’ve missed the other times?), rather than it simply being about the money. Lol, in fact, I’ve been harangued over it. Ah well…

[Deereyme66]

Don’t hear Gareth saying Ian and Simon didn’t have enough funds to buy the club, hear him saying they walked away because they got sick of being messed about. In fact that’s most people’s theory, apart from a few who claimed it’s only about the money.

[Deereyme66]

[Deereyme66]

Getting hammered might be the best option right now. Come round when it’s all over.

Oo-er missus.

[Deereyme66]

The whole sorry saga gets more bizarre by the day – now one of Swann’s most ardent defenders on here for years is imploring someone, anyone, else to set up a fundraising campaign for a phoenix club that we don’t know is definitely needed yet. You couldn’t make it up!

[Deereyme66]

[Deereyme66]

If and when it gets to the the stage of needing a phoenix club, I’d be surprised if the local consortium wouldn’t want to lead on that. Don’t see the point in anyone raising funds for one whilst we still have a club, however precarious it is. I think you’re jumping the gun tbh. If and when it’s necessary, I’m sure things will develop quickly.

[Deereyme66]

Not at Glanford Park. Not on here.

‘Begbies Traynor says that “discussions are continuing with a number of interested parties who remain focused on acquiring”’

That can’t be right surely? Some one on here who clearly knows how these things work was adamant they wouldn’t entertain more than one bid at once. This must be duff info.

[Deereyme66]

Ironking’s quiet the last few days

[Deereyme66]

Not been to Barton since the mid 80s. I remember a couple of gobs*** Iron fans from there (not BS), think one of them’s a club singer now or something.
