‘It is no surprise to me that iron-bru.co.uk is being targeted, just as it doesn’t surprise me why Hilton went on Iron Hour’.
Agreed. Nothing remotely ‘independent’ about Iron Hour’. This is why Bru is valued by many of us on here; for maintaining independence and being critical but fair, supportive when it’s merited. Without it, we’d be poorer as supporter base. We often don’t agree with each other, the last few months have reached a peak, but give me that any day over a doolally Facebook Group and the critique-lite lad bantz of Iron Hour. IMO if they’d received a small fraction of the insults and abuse hurled at SST, ME and BM over the years, they wouldn’t have lasted five minutes. Thus, Max’s latest cheap shot grates even more.
He reached out to the one’s that would entertain him .
I don’t like it the lads get abuse , people slandering them ,saying they are on board with Swann or whatever .
They are good guys ,i genuinely believe that and I think Simon Eliott is to (with whatever information he has been drip fed)
A lot of your fans need to wake up ,and that’s from a Grimsby fan who for some reason actually cares about Scunthorpe Utd .

Exactly I didn’t and I am not too big to admit that,that’s maybe why I care more . I did not realise at the time what a mess we were in – but if it comes to the worst I don’t want Scunthorpe Utd to go and I am pretty sure 99% of Town fans don’t .

I don’t even know how they would regulate it tbh .
This fit and proper person test and proof of funds model obviously is not fit for purpose .Just look at Wigan – taken over and then not paying staff or player wages a few months later then getting points deducted ,which I am not sure is really a suitable punishment when it’s not changing people not getting paid or particularly punishing the owner .
I am not sure what the answer is .
As you say, the Owners’ & Directors’ Test is an absolute farce. You could be a discharged bankrupt, have been subject previously to a banning order preventing you from being a director of a company and have a list of spent convictions as long as your arm and you would still pass it. That’s how committed the FA are to cleaning up the game. The further down the pyramid you go, it’s a self certification exercise.
Of course it’s all too easy to point the finger at the FA, but outgoing owners and the board of directors at clubs have a massive part to play by ensuring their clubs don’t get passed on to crooks because that’s what good people and good custodians do. There is absolute no excuse if a club ends up in the wrong hands.
I would like to see club owners having to register a personal bond with League equivalent to perhaps 35%-50% of a club’s turnover. This will be held in trust and if required, used by the League if they ever need to step in to ensure creditors are paid. This upfront obstacle would put off a lot of the flash, no cash brigade and at the end of an owner’s tenure the bond would be refunded back to them.
