Very simplistic to say its a narrative some
posters have against Swann – you had to use Google to help you find a positive about the club you support.1 user thanked author for this post.
I reckon Land Registry would be a better source rather than googling some phrase – I don’t know who owns it or what Swann has improved – but if that is his greatest achievement I think he’s still in debit by some massive margin.
Maybe we have reduced the number of arrests due to fan disorder as not many bother anymore?
Pothole sizes have improved..
I’m struggling now….

His end of season statement will be ‘i can guarantee we will not get relegated to NL north’…..

I don’t think he’s been at many matches this year (maybe 2?)for whatever reason but I think SUFC is way down his list of priorities, if he’s any sort of human he would be embarrassed by the way the club has been managed and is now facing and end to 72 years of continuous league football – shows a pretty bad precis of his abilities in the other areas so keeping clear is probably right thing to do (in his mind)

I wish them the best of luck as always but we’re doomed. Have been for a while – ask any neutral to look at the table and pick two for relegation – some may stray away from Oldham but nobody would not pick us. Mathematically we’re some way away from it however I predict grass roots day as the match relegation is confirmed – sets the young ones up nicely for a life of supporting SUFC

I’m going to be controversial and; whilst I agree with nearly all, I don’t believe Beestin is any good, long covid or not his distribution is awful, he rarely gets up to speed with the game and loses possession far too easily – counted over a dozen times he’s lost the ball leading to counter attacks – all this before he had COVID. Another dud I’m afraid although not quite in the league as Hallam – the state of this club is summed up by the fact we offered him a 2 yr deal! And he calls himself a businessman!

Were any of the Swann’s there today? Fair enough if he’s ill but were any board members other than SE?

Remember when KH said the next 7 games are the ones that will define us – we’ve played 6 of them and lost 6.

I share the sentiments of OP however lets just watch them perform for the next few games and see what they’re about. If Hill has picked some duds we’ll soon see it, but these set of players are our last hope of league survival.
I’ve pencilled in Bristol away to either celebrate or say goodbye to league status.

Swann stated there is no point anybody purchasing shares. would be good to have fan representation on the board like other clubs (on a side note i see the Raith Rovers one resigned following Goodwillie appointment)

Why can’t Swann offer free gas from all the stuff he spouts? Would get 8,000 in

Their local derby with Rochdale – they’ll have thought this might not come around anytime soon.
But I agree this match is the one to forget Swann for 90 minutes and think Keith and the 11
players out there and get down to the ground. This for me is the match which could kick start something; fingers crossed for 3/4 more players in by Monday and work all week on winning the game.15 users thanked author for this post.
No issue in selling Loft – he wasn’t as good as he thought he was, the issue I have is he left very early in January, we’ve played 6 lost 6 – never done that before and we played the last third of this match trying to get back into it with no striker on the pitch. Ensure the one coming in is signed and sealed then let him go – what you shouldn’t do is promise the fans he won’t leave without a replacement lined up and then true to form…..

You’re assuming Swann knows what he’s doing. He came on the radio and did exactly the opposite of what he promised live on air. Credibility zilch

Taft really has no idea what he’s doing the majority if the time. One occasion second half a simple forward pass was on, he decided to step over and pass back putting keeper under pressure and out for attacking throw.
Distribution heading awareness all completely missing.1 user thanked author for this post.
finished game with no recognised striker, Green isn’t a recognised footballer (along with Taft). A month ago we were ahead of Stevenage – they are 12 points ahead of us now (having done business early). We have to get Swann’s shit out before we get anybody in. Just hope that we can emulate Stevenage but need strikers in. Still too much dross on the pitch. Signings give promise but we’ve been here before…

As Nutall watched us play at the weekend you can pretty much guarantee he got in his car and just kept driving

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.

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)
