Most of what I've read in recent weeks comes across as blackmailing the fans. "Sell me the stadium or I'm off". What I picked from this article though was the figure given for subsidising, essentially it indicates that only 20% of their current budget is being met by the clubs revenue with 80% being provided by Swann. Thats a really sustainable business model!
One thing I've never heard in the press is the reasons why the committe who own the stadium wont sell it to him? Can anyone enlighten me, surely they must have valid reasons?
Basically some of the BC committee don't trust him, or believe that the club should not be owned by any one single entity. I do feel for their fans all they want is what any of us want, a successful sustainable club.
Swann just sounds like another Sotnick to me. Trying to put getone group of fans to put pressure on the other so he can get the ground for a price he wants!
The fans / local council not owning the ground is a disadvantage, it may not be Swann who sends them bust it maybe the next chairman / benefactor or the one after that.
Having the option to wind it all up and start a fresh ala Halifax, Chester, Nuneaton etc whilst still playing at the same ground for peppercorn rent is a massive advantage
