Looks like they came across the same issues Hilton is dealing with and decided the valuation was way off the mark. Everyone but Swann must be wrong of course.
Remember they were being called cheap skates at the time aswell.
I remember WonderGoals saying they don’t have the money to meet Swann’s valuation, with some fuss about him being derogatory towards the new consortium. Now WonderGoals isn’t saying Hilton doesn’t have the money after all, unlike with Sharp and Elliott.
It is said that Hilton is facing the same as them, in that he is facing unrealistic valuations. Yet I don’t think the valuation has changed since the deal was agreed; if that was an issue, Hilton should have thought about it more during the due diligence he said he undertook. Whatever happens with the legal standing over the current Swann-Hilton battle, I doubt a court of law is going to rule in Hilton’s favour because he regrets signing an agreement over the valuation. It’s one reason as to why I don’t think this will end in Hilton’s favour regarding Glanford Park. You can’t sign a contract stating you’ll pay a sum of money by a date and then say you actually disagree with it, while still buying the asset.

What difference does IB’s moniker make and whether a Bury fan or not? Could support any number of clubs. Derby, Grimsby, Southend for instance. Who cares? Who has an issue with Bury fans and keen on blaming them for criticising him? Parroting what he says isn’t very clever IMO

Yes, apologies to anyone I hit “below the belt” last night (I blame the bottle of Lebanese red!).
But I got really pissed off with the clamouring for club statements and updates.
I’m not siding with any party in this fiasco, I just want what’s best for the club. And I’m sure not going to speculate in the meantime.

I didn’t know you could drink red leb! 🤣
But it does have a mellowing effect.

Objectively it’s still up in the air for me about whether Hilton will be good or bad .
He did a cracking job at Ilkeston by all accounts with a club that was on it’s knees , improved infrastructure and left something of future value for when he left .
He’s made some boo boos in the first 6 months which back up the case for people like IB and many others on Twitter , fuelling an obvious agenda against him ; whether that agenda is supstantiated is difficult for anyone level headed to know – just like the people with the ultimate pro Hilton agenda really .
Simon Elliott is obviously scared to his wits end that the club might go, so is trying to keep the peace in sense .
My gut feeling now is that Hilton (if things go his way ) might be able to get through and improve things , but there are probably a lot of obstacles to overcome to get there .
The longer Swann stays quiet , and the longer there is no news on the ground situation ; the more i would get worried though .

Yep, too early to tell, but there are a lot of red flags for me. I just hope the ‘top fans’ on twitter will be reflective if things do go awry with Hilton after so much as berating anyone for having a concern or question.
