Down the Swanny!

Quoted from RobDef1

need fans for that

True. That's that plan out of the window then.

Quoted from RonMariner

Exactly. How long before Ryan gets bored and leaves them in a dead pool.

Yeah but is he saddling Wrexham with debt the way swann did with scunny or is he just paying for it out of his own pocket? If its the latter, which I think it is (but not sure), it won't leave Wrexham any worse off when he leaves and quite likely they will be better off.

I’m not into wishing any club to go under - save MK Dons, I like beating Scunthorpe and for them to be below us in the League. Not much point in gloating about their 2000 crowds either, they are a smaller club than us and Lincoln and always have been. Lincoln should be the ones in our gunsights longer term. And it hasn’t taken an FA cup run to the QFs to fill BP - a mere 2 homes with non-toxic owners.

Be nice to remind them about that stupid and embarrassing banner they produced last time we played at some point as well…

What was that Banner?

Some along the lines of “Be Forever In Our Shadow” someone might recall the exact wording. To be fair some Lincoln fans were embarrassed about it.

The shame is they’ll be forgotten in 5 mins if they disappear and a big Tesco’s built on top of their ground

Would Asda then move in to the Tesco across the road? 😉

I get your point though, the land that the ground sits on is probably worth an absolute fortune once the tennant occupying it 23 times a year is gone. The way I see it panning out is the fans drive him out, the rent increases significantly so that they default kicks them out and makes all his money back (plus some more on top) by building a big industrial warehouse or something.

If he's paying for it out of his own pocket, what happens if he decides this soccer thing isn't for him in January? Mullin still has 2.5 years left on his £9k a week (depending what you read) deal. Will he leave with a £1.5m advance for his wages? I doubt it. It's an absolute car crash waiting to happen.

Quoted from The Yard Dog

They are left with the poorest squad they have had for many years - brought here largely by Swann and his son Will who have taken charge of recruitment.

And they are answerable to no-one. For the Swann family have effectively no opposition in the boardroom, no-one to question their actions.

Swann has taken away the name of Glanford Park - and now, after rattling up £11-million worth of debts he knew the club could not afford, he has effectively taken all the assets and has arguably put SUFC's future in greater jeopardy than it has ever been before.

He has wiped out the £11-million debt he has incurred - but as compensation he has acquired all the assets, the stadium and the surrounding area.

Swann family make up most of the board and still spunk away millions a year on horses too. I believe Mrs Swann nee Wilkinson prefers horses to football and last weekend I believe Peter and Will Swann were playing golf in Scotland rather than watching the football.

Quoted from Humbercod

Feel sorry for them😂

My concern is more about ceasing to exist. I think it’s that bad. Imagine never being able to beat them again? Dunno about you but during lockdown, as dreadful as the football was, the iFollow stream was the only thing that marked the passing of the days and it was entirely the focus of the week. God knows what it would have been like without it. Really made me realise how important it is and how important belonging to something bigger is.

Wouldn’t take that away from anyone. Even Scunny fans. UTFM.

Quoted from RonMariner

This is what happens when rich boy's get tired of their vanity projects.

They may have to do what Darlington, Wimbledon and others have.  Start a Pheonix club from the ashes and start again with a fan owned club.

A fan owned club eh ? If they all chip in then that should pay the water rates.
F k em, a long and slow death may they endure.

and last weekend I believe Peter and Will Swann were playing golf in Scotland rather than watching the football. [/quote]

Well cant blame them the football on offer is sh1t.
