Quoted from jamesgtfc


Surely you step down and release a statement at the same time? Fenty stepping down as Chairman didn't change a single thing for us and it will be interesting to see what this statement of his says.

I'm off to buy some popcorn...


You’ll need plenty - this is the beginning of the end for Scunny.

This is merely Swann allowing himself sufficient physical distance from the club as a procession of bad news is drip fed to the fans over the coming weeks, of which relegation will be the least of their worries.

Swann is no longer the chairman but still the owner of the stadium. That is not a healthy scenario for any club.

Watch this space.

Peter 'I'm not Fenty' Swann drops Chairmanship as the excrement hits the fan.

Well it looks like one straight out of the Fenty playbook to me.

This is a similar scenario to when Rovrum were at Millmoor. The ground owner, ex chairman, no longer had any connection with the club and rented the ground to the club.

The major difference is that Scunny are, in effect, indebted to Swann to the tune of £11m. You only have to look at what he’s done with the club these last three years or so; he has throttled the life out of it financially out of pure personal, self-interest.

Covid hurt him financially, with the bulk of his income streams coming from the hospitality industry. This, while in the midst of the £28m renovation of his Sands Venue resort in Blackpool (after which Glanford Park is currently named).

He needs money. Glanford Park, due to where the land on which it sits is, is worth millions. But only without a football club playing there. Now he’s moved to distance himself from the club, something the Scunny fans seem to be hailing as good news.

It isn’t. They need to wake up and join up all of the dots.

Scunny fan who drinks in our local told me a couple of weeks ago that a former Director/Owner was looking to get involved again but didn’t take in his name because not that interested. He did say this guy has attended some recent home games and mingled with the fans, probably had time to shake hands with all those in attendance, and was certainly giving off positive vibes.

Think their future is very dependent upon what level of derby Swann is willing to write off.

That is a hell of a long way to play home games!
