    What’s the bet neither get the chance, are allowed to go elsewhere and star there?
    There is something or someone seriously wrong at the club and this wastage epitomises it.

    My £10 is already on us for relegation.
    I don’t care if there’s a second coming and JC takes the job.
    We’ll need more than one miracle to avoid the drop.

    As for Cox – I have little sympathy for him because he knew what he was letting himself in for when he came.

    That said, he can’t be blamed for our league position.

    Cox has played the cards Swann has dealt him – full stop. Whether he played them badly is irrelevant – it was a crap hand and he simply couldn’t win.

    Well, maybe.
    But if you are aware that your opponents ALSO have a crap hand, and you still insist on folding… whose fault is that?
    When I played three card brag at John Leggott so many years ago, I won a fair few crap hands by bluffing.

    Oh, I dont doubt he understands it.
    Admitting he might have been wrong, now that’s another matter

    For me, he’d be a fool to come back here.
    He has nothing to prove to us.
    But failure here…and does ANYONE really think that any manager could make anything of the dog’s breakfast Swann has created at this club, failure here will surely tarnish his legacy.
    Stay away Nige.
    You DO NOT want to work for this idiot.

    Who the hell is Chris Beech?

    Probably one of Will Swann’s buddies from playing football manager online.
    Loads of experience….not.

    Where do we go from here?
    Same place as we were always going this season: out of the league.

    His actions today suggest otherwise Premier iron.

    NI said:
    “Instead of starting low and aiming high Swann has done the opposite. And after falling out with the local council a “community stadium” in Scunthorpe is not very likely.

    Get your thinking cap on Peter”

    But that would necessitate him admitting he was wrong, out of order, and mending bridges with NLC etc.

    Ain’t gonna happen…the man’s ego will prevent it.

    Can’t disagree with any of the above.
    I do think another exit onto the now downgraded M181 is a non starter, since it would require another roundabout….unless they envisage it being one way only.
    And looking at the retail park opposite, that is still appallingly laid out, has only one access road and regularly gridlocks…and has been so for over ten years. Despite the landowner snd NLC both having been approached regularly.
    Last comment: under normal circumstances Swann would look to sell his vision, aspirations etc via the local press.
    Sadly, Mastermind has fallen out with anyone and everyone that could have been a help.

    But hey, he’s an astute businessman, he knows what he’s doing.

    Back to five at the back with the predictable result.
    Cox needs to be gone now.
    To stay is dishonest… he’s stealing a wage.😠

    Some amusing posts here.
    BS thinks Cox might really go for the three points….aye, right, and I might start trusting Swanny😅😅😅

    And CBRP thinks Cox might resist disrupting a side, leaving out his favourites.😅😅😅

    What a pair of comedians you are, you little tinkers.

    They should be talking about developing already well established football grounds, there must be thousands here that could do with government grants to improve them. Then after the World Cup they could let them just keep the upgrades.

    I might be dreaming or even barking up the wrong tree. Never mind…

    We’ve been there and done that…but only for a favoured London club

    Was there any suggestion that returning the age that OAP reduction was available to 60 was an option? That would please 1 or 2, at least 1 anyway.

    That ship sailed four years gone

    You are showing your age!

    As are you for knowing what one is😉

    It was only Hurst that got McAtee to give consistent effort. Pretty much the same with Eisa.
    He was also the manager to get a good work rate out of KVV.

    Remind me why we got rid of him again?

    WE didn’t.
    The astute businessman did.

    If the fat man was serious about this…and i mean serious, not just getting opinions from supporters who are more likely to speak favourably of the club, he’d make the questionnaire easily accessible.
    WHY cant it be passed on?
    Unless, of course, every one reveals who it came from…for future litigious use, perhaps?
    Do I trust the guy?
    Nope.

    They used to have a brilliant camera shop 30 odd years ago, but like you say little else.

    Yep.
    Went once and bought a Minolta 9000.

    Please don’t bring up contract negotiation.
    Last time players wanted contracts sorted early, Swann cocked it up and put a couple of player’s backs up.
    We don’t want that again.

    And it would be for the same reason, although last time we were probably going up, not down.

    Pugh is turning into a real dynamo.

    I’m not silly enough to put our terrible form this season down to 1 player – but surely it’s no coincidence that we weren’t even getting close to other teams whilst he wasn’t playing.

    Constantly in the opposition’s face, closing them down, putting tackles in & will only get better with the ball at his feet. Can we give him a 4 year contract please?

    Everyone else was at least a 7 today, Millen had his best game to date.

    Sold for peanuts in the new year?

    Where are you Alcy? Loads of positive posts on this thread, must be killing you…

    I’m here, soft lad.
    I can see the positives, but I raise you the negatives:
    WHY did Cox take off players having their best ever game?
    WHY did we go defensive AGAIN?

    Same here les, Hippo my MOTM despite being subbed, fresh legs maybe as I thought Pugh and Hackney worked their socks off too. All good for 70 minutes then the last 20 minutes got a bit nervy,

    Because we’ve capitulated sooooo often in the last quarter that teams now know that if they do up their game, we’re likely to concede?
