What is Clem Morfuni getting out of his ownership of Swindon Town?

06.09.2410 Min ReadSam Morshead

He regularly, nay routinely fields a blunderbuss barrel’s worth of criticism, much of it well placed, some of it a little more conspiratorial. He does not come from a football background, nor does he appear to have long ties to the sport beyond fandom. He lives on the other side of the world. Why persist, then?
