There is only one person responsible for where we are now – Mr Peter Swann.

The only person in charge of the money was him, he spent the money, he sacked all the managers that had to be paid off. He gambled any reserves there were. Then spent his own money and having gambled that away decided it was the club who should reimburse him !

You not factually correct.

Swann “subsidised” the club with his own money. He then took the ground, land etc to repay himself.

He did not use any club money to gamble on the gee gees. The books all balance in the eyes of the law – showing we lost a shedload of money!!

Let’s hope Hilton doesn’t spend all the club money & then jog on. It won’t be his own money that he has spent.

Not sure where Hilton found the secret stash of “club money” he gets to run off with. Pretty sure Swann left him with fairly massive debts. The club was within hours or certainly days of administration when he came in. He might have been a bit late paying some of the debts but I think we can safely say he has been spending a lot of his own money since he arrived.

Although I hate Swann and all the bullshit he has spun our fans over the many years,but what he has stated in his report on this forum, sadly points to what I have been saying for six months, “that Hilton never had the money to cover the £3K required to buy the club and ground / land, and that hair brained 1,899 offer to supporters was the way Hilton was wanting to pay for his purchace, it was also pointed out by myself that there was no chance of 1,899 supporters falling for that trap, in fact less than 100 fans contributed, then it was the date for the cheaper season ticket for the following season which was brought forward to a date whilst the present season was still ongoing, again a plan to get some funds earlier than was even reasonable. Hilton has failed to get this money from our loyal supporters so he has mow pulled the plug on things and bailed out. As usual it is the loyal fans that will suffer like always. It has been Hilton, Anderson, White and one other name change, he shoul;d have also have added Mr Tomas Pepper, that would have been fitting!!!!!
