I really hope your take over goes through. Although we’re rivals I would hate to see you go under. We thought we had it bad with Fenty but Swann is on another level.
Self serving , dishonest egomaniacs like him shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a football club. It’s always the genuine fans that suffer.
Good luck you guys I hope you get through this mess.12 users thanked author for this post.
GTFC fan so sorry this charlatan has been allowed to destroy your football club ,but an integral part of your community. My sincere hope is the minimum you can do is divest yourselves of Swann .Even better find new owners with the club and community at heart.Even if it means re inventing yourselves as a phoenix club .Fight on do not let your club due .UTI,UTM

From a business perspective it makes sense to get as much as you can from a sale. However, if the bids don’t quite match that, catastrophe looms, and you supposedly care about the club there surely comes a point where you accept a lower bid for the good of the fans for the conscientious owner.

Unless your stubborn, but the positive thing is if Swanny don’t sell the liquidators will.
And Peter Dennis Swann keeps all the car parks. And the club goes out of the leagues !!!
Cynics would think this was a plan all along !1 user thanked author for this post.
I think it’s more likely he’s trying to go for a larger than valuation offer to pay off his gambling debts and some more than some sinister scheme for housing. Why bother trying to sell if that’s his goal?
The offer made by the consortium is indicated to suit Begbies, which means it should be good enough for a sale (if true), but not for someone who might want to gamble for a bit more to help himself out of a situation where he owes millions.

From a lifelong Mariner, very much hope you can find a way to survive this and the malignancy of Swann. Even in the dark days of Fenty it never felt like we’d be without our club. God knows what it’s like for you guys having that hanging over you.
Of course I do hope you get relegated this season, but that’s just football and not existential stuff.7 users thanked author for this post.

Not making me many friends on Twitter it seems; Slating the Elliot bid and offering a form of blackmail by saying he won’t invest if it’s a toxic environment.
Barring a couple of fairly subdued protests he’ll find most supporters have put up with more than their fair share of shite whilst Swann does as he pleases.
I have no objections with someone other than the local consortium taking over, but is it really too much to ask for someone who hasn’t left carnage in their wake at other clubs?

The difference could be that it’s reported that Hardy is heading a consortium rather than acting alone as previously. Might make it more difficult for him to do just as he likes, we’ve had enough of that for sure.
