Look, I’m working on the premise that Sharpe and co just haven’t got the funds needed, which looks to be the case. Do you really think if they had enough money that it would have taken as long as it has done ?
In a sense of course it’s holding it up, if they keep getting in touch with Swannsters advisor from begbies to sort something out, more than likely upping their bids in small increments, their attention can’t be spread across both parties at the same time. One of them has to be be on hold while the other is sorting something out.
I know that’s the case for many clubs throughout the country who have multiple suitors but do you really see Sharpe and co even having the required money to buy the club ?
I can understand their trying to strike the best deal possible but Swann wants a set amount and if they haven’t got it, I’d rather they made room for the other consortium.
I will however say that from what I’ve read, not really wanting it to go to them but we may not have a choice. If the HMRC don’t get their tax then we we don’t have a club anymore.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but if that’s true then Sharp and Co need to pull their fingers out because that price is fair. They should either stump the money up or walk away and stop wasting peoples time.
If they haven’t got the funds then fine but I wish they wouldn’t hang around if they don’t have a real chance of even being able to afford to do it.

Swann will let this club go under, just as I said and then He’ll still have the land and the assets to sell on. I see the offer, presumably by the Scunthorpe based consortium has been turned down already. The offer was only put it on Monday morning.
The way Swann’s playing hardball I’m not convinced he’s ever going to sell the club.

Hill was playing him upfront. I feared the worst when Nelson took the reigns but he’s impressing me. I think Nelson’s half decent and has got us playing some decent stuff.
Wilson looks like the player we knew that’s been there all along. Shrimpton has been terrific and young Foster between the sticks looks more than a bit promising. The more experienced players at pulling their fingers out now for Nelson as Butterfield looks impressive and dare I say it, even Taft and Boyce looked relatively solid.
Have we stumbled upon a half decent manager ?

Who said it was right for Wright to receive abuse ?. I’m not excusing it but to sit there blinkered and not accept the fact that people were annoyed after coming to terms with losing their club and having to contend with the fans representative not saying a word, really pissed certain people off.
Was it right ?. No it wasn’t, far from it !
If people actually knew the reason why he was so tight lipped, fans would have understood his position, would have backed off him for the most part and the bulk of the crap would have gone in Swannsters direction.
Fans didn’t know this though, did they ?
Aim it Swanns direction. To appoint a lifelong fan to such a position in times such as these and to essentially gag him is an absolute disgrace.
That’s the definition of putting somebody in an impossible position. This is the last I’m going to type about this as it’s the Swannster who’s to blame.
Why should we bicker between ourselves due to one completely useless owner who’s just about ran the club into the floor ?

Did fans know at the time that his hands, lips and everything else were tied due to Non Disclosure Agreements ?. Nobody has said he deserved the abuse, I’m merely pointing out that you should direct your disappointment Swann’s way.
Who’s to blame, disgruntled fans or Swann and co who hung him out to dry by appointing him in a position to communicate to the fans to then duct tape his mouth together with NDA’s ?

Get over yourselves. I know it wasn’t Neil’s fault as his hands “and lips were tied” but he wasn’t doing the job he was elected for so he’s resigned. I agree with his decision.
There’s no point in even having one while Swann is here. Instead of slagging people off who have given Mr Wright a hard time you should condemn Swann for putting him in that position.
The club hung him out to dry. I’m not surprised people are frustrated with the current state of the club, it’s just unfortunate for Neil that he was put directly into the firing line with his mouth taped up via NDA’s.
Awaywego and fans 64 should be airing their disappointed at Swann and Co for doing the dirty on him. They’re the real one’s to blame.

Looking to sell the club in 2018 ?
It appears Swann’s gambling addiction has tanked the club. That’s what it looks like anyway. The funding from Swann started getting pulled in 2018 so that coincides with the money he owed Apollo Bookmakers.
What a shit show !
