My claim for what? Asking their agents who they dealt with? Or maybe recalling the radio interview. Come

UTI – remember when Swann said Cox wanted Will Swann in and it was nothing to do with him, so as to deflect the clear nepotism. You may also remember Swann snr – on the radio – saying his son said these players are good enough to get us promotion. Even in your mind that doesn’t tally with Cox’s signings. They were Swann signings – maybe their agents will give a clue??

Just listened to the clarification and I take two things from Swann’s interview
1 He doesn’t give a shit
2 He’s full of crapAs football chairmanship goes he’s just completely out his depth

Slowly shift the blame onto manager.
Retain the Covid blame.
Repeat

They do not have the required pedigree. How far we have fallen when we wax lyrical about Hippolyte or Beestin,
they only look marginally better because they play alongside really poor players. How many of this squad would walk into any other league two team? O’Malley, maybe Pugh that’s it.It keeps coming back to Swann junior and his agent friend – I still cannot believe it is real…. head of recruitment – there is no defence. The two who could make it had nothing to do with young Swann

Les – it was no premise that you had – more a promise by the chairman live on radio that Loft would not go without replacement being in place – his only door out of this was Burns being the replacement – Simon Elliot closed that one off. So the chairman live on radio stated something that turned out to be false…..unless of course my ears deceived me

Isn’t the loan mightily convenient. Club debt free (and asset stripped) and then it needs another £1.7m EFL loan for a club without a penny of debt. The club is then hamstrung in everything it does because of a loan we didn’t need and could be paid back whenever but never gets paid back and still the loan persists, rolled out as an excuse throughout transfer window ‘i’d love to Keith but this loan we just cannot do it’ Most see through it. I don’t think Swann is arsed where the club end up – on its knees or in Northern Counties (kind of like UTI’s position – funny that)

He asked you what your take was on the game
not the result.1 user thanked author for this post.
Bucks – we’ve got rid of out two top scorers and lost out on all the targets (remember when Swann said he would not sell until a replacement was lined up – that truth lasted 48 hours – not bad for him actually). We’re not down yet but the fat lady is certainly warming up the tonsils.
Most believe, as do I, that the club won’t last in non-league – not with Swann as owner. And this narrative has been pedalled by Swann – just listen to his last 5/6 media ‘chats’. There is probably a very very small minority of fans who want us to go down because it may mean us starting from Northern counties league.

Wasn’t that Whartons plan? Didn’t he succeed and still keep the club going? Even when he ran it as a hobby? No chairman ever took us from league to non-league football until this guy turned up.

What I do know is that Swann doesn’t owe the EFL anything – the club do – also the club have no assets beside some playing personnel – one of which has been sold, the rest worth not much. I reckon he would fold the club before paying them anything.

Will be very interesting to see these parties which according to some don’t exist come forward.
There are a lot of clubs going through sales at the minute so there is a market – hopefully Simon Elliot is in to facilitate a sale rather than a mouthpiece for the propaganda machine

There’s the problem – he/his young son/you shouldn’t be in charge of recruitment. Its clear the HoR met with his mate the agent who sold him several no-marks who are not league standard. Kelsey Mooney was given a 1yr contract after a golf match he didn’t even play in (I assume Swann lost the bet), KDT? Permacrock Hallam given a 2 yr contract?
We wouldn’t be in this position if recruitment was done by people who know about football. But that is only one of many failings.
I will agree that attracting quality players given our predicament will be very difficult – nigh on impossible with the current recruiting regime

I don’t want a mystery owner with magic formula just one who knows how to run a football club.

BS – you forgot to mention legal action against supporters
banning food and drink without telling the fans
Hokey Cokey with catering in/out house
Falling out with everybody in local govt.
Banning journalists
Hiring useless CEO (JR)
Hiring junior to bring players in
Criticising previous owner..this list without thinking about it – god knows how long the list would be if I thought about it

I think Hill has done a good job – I think he has squeezed as much out of the players he can, or anybody can. They are just not good enough league footballers. Its like asking Beethoven to play Moonlight Sonata on a Banjo

BS I don’t agree Rowe was a 6 – he was absolute garbage – considering his task is to sit in front of back 4 they had so much space and their 3rd goal – the lad cannot run at all – weak, ineffective, played out of position like most of the squad just not league standard. I feel for the young lads having to save the club from Swanns pathetic recruitment. The guy and his silver spoon sons are killing 70 years of league football

In previous times I would agree BS but a crowd of 3k isn’t bad considering the slow demise of the club over the past 3 years with a Chairman who is about as welcome as Omicron in the hotseat. Something that could’ve been built on.

We lacked a bit of forward thinking (and playing) creative type today. The result didn’t reflect the play but fine margins (Davis giving possession away, Hackney clearing for a corner,
O’Malley should’ve been managing the situation) often lend themselves to results like this.Green had a decent match
but should’ve been given the ball more –
clear first half that he had beating of player. Hippo – when he picks the ball up in centre mid somebody needs to tell
him he needs to look around
more rather than play the way he faces – Hill alluded to such play in interview.Need at least 4 in to add quality to midfield,
strike force up front and Central defence. Loft can go for me2 users thanked author for this post.
