Hart and Fitton interviews

[walrus]

Some------people------are-------annoying--------like------------------------------------that.

I see what you did there....

If you were Fitton wouldn't you read up on those supporting the club?  If I won the Lotto tomorrow night and bought a sports team, I'd sure as hell read up on what the fans thought of me.  Perhaps I'm egomaniacal...

[leefer]

I don't think he would/does.......i feel to him its an opportunity to run a business and hopefully make it viable.
People with lots of money and lots of fingers in pies don't really take note...and don'y really care about opinions.
Lets face it he has a really good business and future plans for the Town.........no one can deny that but is he running the club as a fan?.......that is debatable not that i want to debate it.

It is a fine line......go for broke and end up like Plymouth
For me the club i admire is Swansea City..............spent fuck all(on the pitch) and have been patient and look good for the Prem...good on them

[Ginginho]

I wouldn't be surprised if Fitton popped on TEF quite often.

I have it on good authority that he does indeed read this forum and has posted once or twice.

[pauld]

It's shady isn't it? He goes home after a hard day running several international businesses and a football club, changes out of the suit, cracks open the Tesco cider and lets rip.

I wonder if AF has been affectionately called a cunt on here yet!

They have spent quite a bit - £1 million (I think) on Scott Sinclair for example.

[Reg Smeeton]

 I'd hazard a guess that Swansea's money for the ground, came from the Welsh Agency, basically English taxpayers money, doled out according to the Barnett Formula.

I have indeed. And I have been called a cunt a few times.
I know who you are, you bastards.

[pauld]

And you'd be wrong. The money came from the developers, after the City Council chucked in an extra parcel of land they could develop for retail/commercial purposes (ie you can have this valuable retail/commercial land if you build us a stadium)

[Batch]

I assumed the developers got the Vetch. Shithole as it was IIRC it wasn't too far from town.

[pauld]

I assumed the developers got the Vetch. Shithole as it was IIRC it wasn't too far from town.

I don't think it was commercially viable, demolition costs were pretty high IIRC, or at least not so much as getting a bundle of land for free round the new development. Must confess, I thought the City Council had chucked some cash in as well, but apparently not.

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Interesting interview with Fitton. Made an honest assessment of the Greer sale and also made it pretty clear IMO that Hart is by no means seen (not yet at least) as a long term solution.
