Home > Story Index >People In Gloucs Houses – Fake Sound Of Progress

It was mentioned on here enough times, but okay, we will put it down to an overload of information.
Or maybe some of Phil’s dissenters did enough to cloud the issue when certain " in the face" announcements were made, either way it’s with us, and we have to live with it. And surprise surprise out of the woodwork crawl a few blasts from the past. Including Mike Lewis who shows his transparency by siding with Chris Connolly on Radio Wales, and the awful diatribe that has been the faxes to the club debate. Right Mr Lewis, you had a pop, now it’s my go. You ventured to indicate that David Morgan wanted free tickets for Belgian Swans fans who visited The Vetch ? And this in some way was an assumption that he was a wrong un ? Well, lets put that matter to bed, he did contact you, and after a four hundred mile land and overseas journey I see no problem with him having a few tickets for Belgian Jacks who can be bothered to come and watch us. Especially when there are people living in Gowerton who can’t be bothered, to name one of a thousand places we should still be drawing support from. And Lewis has given enough freebies away in recent times, but we won’t go there, not yet, not unless we have to.
This is the old regime all over, a nasty comment here, a false allegation there, and he wasn’t happy until he had a disguisedpop at Mel Nurse either. But the real reason for Lewis’s involvement ? A simple one, he is owed eighty grand by Swansea CityFC, apparently. I wouldn’tgive him the skin of a turtles leftovers personally, but if that’s what he wants ! So who better to tout for the position of new owner than a guy who will assure the debts, and of course pay Lewis his massively inflated demands, instead of the five per cent he will receive in time. And I am amazed to read that there are still foolish, stupid people in Swansea who prefer Lewis to Mel Nurse. Jeez, what does it take to see the truth,maybe some people are just naturally stupid.
Personally I’m opento any scrutiny, and so is Lewis, and the more he surfaces, the more he is open to criticism.He lost all feelings of pity when he banned five year old Swans fans from a sponsored day at Swansea because he was frightened of the MAGS stance against his running of the club. Sad, pathetic, miserable regime after regime – Exposed time and time again until even the most irrational Swans fan could see what fraudulent criminality was going on at Swansea City. And to see Tony Petty there, compliments of Mike Lewis. Surely there is no more to say ?
Whilst this CVA is implemented, and those running the club ( GENUINE ) Swans fans with little agenda except our basic survival are there, we should all support and understand that we have little alternative, especially when against some ex pat guy who nobody has ever heard of in America. He needs to do more than have an eight minute chat on Radio Wales with Mike Lewis supporting him.
Maybe he has an aunty in Neath ?
Nobody no matter who it is, even the Sultan of Oman, if backed by Mike Lewis should be believed, trusted or entertained. He has a proven track record of failure. Some people just touch things and they turn to ruin, Lewis states he has other gooses to cook, his turn of phrase not mine. May I suggest he sticks his head in the oven to test the temperature. And for once and for all, bugger off and leave us all alone.
Lewis is a Lost Prophet, and all he ever echoed was The Fake Sound of Progress. For the more initiated,you will know exactly what I mean. And for gods sake Radio Wales, most of you are intelligent sports people, don’t entertain his ramblings, he is finished, a chancer left on the hard shoulder having been catapulted from the car.
If the roofs on fire – Let the Mother burn.
Keith works with Phil Sumbler on JA.NET, and together they have published two football books, Roger Freestone’s biography " Another day at the office " and Vetch Field Voices. They are currently working on Tony Ford’s biography simply called " The Tony Ford Story " A life of being a black man in professional football since 1975, being awarded the MBE,and ultimately succeeding in the cut and thrust of the lower divisions in English football. Tony is currently the Assistant Manager at Barnsley FC.
