You can’t beat a good pint of mild. Difficult to find these days!!
Will Hilton’s lawyers bring all this history up in court plus the gambling addiction 🤔
They shouldn’t do. It has no relevance to the court case.
Could carrying knocks be code for carrying knocks?

There is only one person responsible for where we are now – Mr Peter Swann.
The only person in charge of the money was him, he spent the money, he sacked all the managers that had to be paid off. He gambled any reserves there were. Then spent his own money and having gambled that away decided it was the club who should reimburse him !
You not factually correct.
Swann “subsidised” the club with his own money. He then took the ground, land etc to repay himself.
He did not use any club money to gamble on the gee gees. The books all balance in the eyes of the law – showing we lost a shedload of money!!
Let’s hope Hilton doesn’t spend all the club money & then jog on. It won’t be his own money that he has spent.
Well spotted Awaywego, so ” our advisors” had seen proof of funds and also Simon so what is the problem peterswann?
Surely the problem is that DW is not parting with his cash. If he’s got it and they have agreed the price then he should pay up – then Swann will be gone forever

We are in for an interesting few weeks if this is legitimate……
My own opinion is that I believe everything in the post above as DH has been very quiet on all the main issues. And don’t forget, he told us that he had bought the club, the ground, the car park & the training facilities.

“For me, it’s about doing what you have said you are going to do.” like buying the ground?
Takes two people to buy and sell something.
But he told us he had bought it……

I’d be happy to see him go today.

“Peterborough Sports”
It always sounds like a discount store to me!
Where we got our discount manager!!
Could always try getting a mortgage on the lease of GP. He wouldn’t be the first football club owner to actually do it.
Except he doesn’t own GP.
Hull City Council own the MKM stadium lock stock and barrel. Russell Bartlett, previous owner, used the lease on it to get a £3.4m loan from RBS which he shuffled around holding companies, as well as paying himself a million quid in wages. Easy peasy when you’re a property developer!

We still don’t know if we’ll even be playing at GP next season. Swann says no, Hilton say yes. Is there a lease???!

POTENTIALLY a staggering signing for this level……..

I’d rather trust a dodgy burner account than burny’s account any time 😁
It was illegal. They got caught. They deserve to be punished.
People with a little money and a big ego can be very dangerous.
Let’s all hope that we haven’t found another one!!

I’m glad they made it. Well deserved.

Leagues are continually being restructured, expanded, contracted… evolving.
Let’s deem it to be an organic body rather than an immovable mountain range.I opened in my first sentence with the distribution (locality) of the clubs and the amount of travelling.
Less miles is a cost saving for clubs and supporters alike.
If you look at whom we will be playing next season, you will see that there aren’t many local or even close games!
Gloucester 175 miles and a shade over 3 hours.
It’s hardly regional football at those distances.
Massive gap? You’ll have to do better than that!
Last season we were a L2 club – next season we are NLN.
Season after, we may be Northern Premier!The gap? Ha ha.
Yeah, like everyone has been breathing down Wrexham & County’s necks all season!
It’s not about fewer games.
It’s about saving money on travel costs and making it more affordable for fans and actually regional.Kapish?
No, I don’t capiche.
You would need to disrupt a lot of leagues across the whole country, at the same time, to implement what you suggest.
The arguement that we have dropped 2 leagues in 2 seasons does not support your argument. It supports mine. Can you imagine our current mob against League 2 teams?
In terms of travelling time, many of our supporters travel the length & breadth of the country to follow the team. Then there are people like me who live a long way from Scunny so appreciate less travel on occasion.
Yes, we might save some money but the competition would not be as strong – in all 3 areas that you would break it down in.
Thinking of stepping away from this cesspit but I will be back on D-DAY for my apologies. And there will be apologies.
There will be no apologies whatever happens, the few of us that called out Swann from day one never got an apology for all the abuse we got and the lies told about us.
From day 1. Right……..
So ApAp, you are planning on ruining the structure of a lot of leagues up and down the country to save playing 4 games.
Instead of 48 teams in 2 leagues you would have 66 teams in 3 leagues. Where do these teams come from? They would have to be regional (North, South, Central), so you would bugger up a lot of lower league structures. There would also be a massive gap between the top teams and the bottom teams as they could be 2, 3 or even 4 leagues apart at the moment.
All that disruption not to play 4 games? That’s what a squad is for.
Ilkeston Town?
you will see
If you know anything, share it.
Posting that you are ITK but not saying anything makes you look a bit of a prat.
Stupid & pointless post.

I’ve held back in recent weeks but enough is enough!!!!
He doesn’t know what he’s doing and his total incompitence is making people question David Hilton when that doesn’t need to be the case.
My choice was Craig Elliot who Boston let go, now most Boston fans regret that!
He dropped down a league to manage Matlock town and had them in the play offs but Buxton (bottom 3 in the NLN) came calling for him and he’s won almost every game since taking them from the relegation zone to a play off place with one game to go… Take a look Jimmy because you’ve had more than enough games and we’ve got worse!!!!!!Even if it’s not Elliot it can not be Dean!!
He’s totally useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!David Hilton… this man is causing you issues you don’t need… You messed up the appointment… admit that and move on because Dean isn’t the man for next season and he’s going to cost you a lot if you don’t move him on!!
Great post. I concur.

Dean is not the answer. Another 10 games next season will leave whoever comes in a gigantic mountain to climb.
I really wish we could get some stability with a manager, but it ain’t gonna happen with Dean.
1 user thanked author for this post.
The man has no idea.
There has been no improvement anywhere on the pitch.
We are poor and his substitutions make no difference – and often make it worse.
New manager for next season please.

It is hard to be more clueless than Hilton, but Dean has achieved it.
If somebody cuts the piece of string outside Glanford Park, Dean will never get home…..
GO
Milton Keynes (new town, not the original village) was created by an Act of Parliament on 23rd January 1967.
Wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes in 2003… some 36 years later.
MK wasn’t a new town when Wimbledon moved there.
And… just like Wimbledon, weren’t we on the brink of going bust?
At the time Wimbledon were already playing their matches at Selhurst Park. Which for those who don’t already know, is Christal Palaces ground. Plough Lane had been left empty and abandoned…
Wimbledon played in Kingston for a good few years after Crystal Palace.
The Plough Lane site was built on long before they went to MK too.
I was, surprisingly, impressed with Hilton’s interview. Hopefully the next 12 months will show us how much he can really do.
Dean, on the other hand,fills me with woe & his outrageous interview yesterday only leads me to believe that he will not be long for these shores. Let’s hope he is gone before he causes too much trouble with the squad – Inc any newbies that come in close season (because he will undoubtedly still be here).
An appalling interview. Listening to that you wouldn’t believe that Jimmy Dean had anything to do with what went on out there.
This was not a one-off. We have seen it far too often recently.
The problem we have is that he is likely to stay. Do we expect the players to play for him? He’s thrown them under the bus and is likely to see a reaction – negative!!
