Shameless, really. He promised (sorely needed) investment to the club, while selling to asset-strippers.

He and Morgan made their money. Any regrets afterwards HJ had was just a shallow footnote.

Sure, I appreciate everything he did to save the club and help the Swans get to where they did, but stabbing the club in the back is a massive kick to the balls - one we won't forget. That lack of control at the club in end was his own doing.

I forgot about him! Totally agree! The Swans led the way showing what can be achieved with supporter ownership of a club. All Dineen had to do was stay honest.
