Crouch & Power

[Frigby Daser]

I presume IPS just set up the newco Swinton Reds, and have a sports law team that deals with matters such as those listed. Nothing more than that. Any law firm has similar blurbs on their website, albeit not usually as specific and niche as that.

The real question is whether Swinton Reds is the vehicle Power and Crouch intend to buy the club with, or if it's Power's independent 'agency' for any fees he earns from player transfers, both in and out. Crouch's involvement puzzles me. It even ran through my head that he's being given equity in the club in lieu of his fees for carrying out the financial analysis his firm is going through, because McCrory's rabble have nothing at all to pay him with. I'll say this very quietly: I think I had more faith in D**mandis. I can't help but assume the worst and come up with conspiracies.

I think people are seeing connections with our club that might not exist. Swinton Reds 20 Ltd is registered at some law firm in Cheshire, so is just another off the shelf company with a name plucked out of the air, this being the 20th company registered by the firm using that name by the look of it.

Why Swinton Reds? Who knows? Maybe one of the staff plays for or watchs the local side of that name?

If you wanted a conspiracy theory connected with the name then there's much more fun to be had in the world of NW rugby league, where the Salford Reds are in financial crisis, and have had a borrow a fortune from the local council and others as well as taking a donation from their more solvent neighbours Swinton Lions. You could easily construct some sort of story about someone attempting to make the profit from a merger.

But I think it's just a random place holder name.
