I try to keep it simple, 3 or 4 letter words so that you can be part of the conversation. I've spoken (over the phone) with your special needs nurse and she thinks that its important that we include you in our conversations. It excites you and makes you feel even more special

Time will tell if this is another Clive Palmer, Nathan Tinkler, Geoffrey Edelstone etc etc - the list of owners who's interests only extend so far to being philanthopistic rather they have other motives that usually hurt rather than help.

True, though the difference is

Saints and the Steelers have already been thru what the swans have in losing their original identity and being broke at times.

The trouble with handing over your club or even a part of it to someone promising the world is when they don't deliver they usually set the club back decades. Private individuals usually have their own agendas!

Laniger finds it astounding that a PRIVATE PERSON can own a football club. That is not the case for a footy club.
