Quoted from RonMariner
The guy they hate so much has put £11million into the club over the years.

Blimey, there's gratitude for you.


That’s the problem with benefactors. They want to call the shots. That’s why I think clubs should be run in a financially sustainable fashion and by fans.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Isn't Swann's funding through his wife's association with Wilko and she has recently withdrawn the purse strings??

Come on, we need them to survive so that we can give them a good trashing or two.


How's that going to happen, we go up, they go down.

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.

If you were a Scunny fan all you have is a name. Management and player's contracts expire at the end of their time. As posted previously on other threads the club has no assets, so there is nothing for a prospective buyer to buy, but a name.

As much as we may despise and hate them they are in deep sh!t. The knackers yard await them, unfortunately.

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

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.

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