What were people expecting? If the poll is anything to go by 40% won’t be going back next year, I guess Swanny will have to accrue more debt for the club to cobble a team together.

And who will shoulder that debt if he does?

So he says he wanted to stay. The club says he was offered a new contract. The Twitter feed says he was released because of budget cuts.

Where’s the truth in all this?

Truth?
You want truth as well?

Still think 15 to go and offers turned down could perhaps equal 3 more.

Based on recruitment being near to 12 then another coach may be need to work with a specific group in prep for pre-season.

I hear Wilcox is available?

When does it open?
And when will it be connected to Scotter road? Or are they waiting on more government money?

So far I’ve seen reference bto both svroundabout and traffic lights at the Scotter road end.
Hope it’s not the latter.

[alcazar]

Club?
Yes.

Country?
They did listen to the majority over Brexit. Labour tried to go against it.
Look who’s in power.

Some years ago when North Lincs had a labour council, I emailed the then leader telling him he wasn’t listening and was risking defeat. He did not bother to respond.
Lost the next election.

My vote is no.
What would have been the point in sacking Sooty and Sweep, when Harry or Matthew Corbett was still running the show?

Not so.

If you bother to check back, you’ll see I was often, not always, but often, a lone voice against Swann.

So I at least partially balanced out the sycophants…of which there were many.🙂

Regarding Liebour, in, or out of power matters not one jot.
If we can ONLY criticise the party in power, we’ve lost it.

Or maybe that’s why Liebour are in such a mess now?
TELLING us what to believe, what we want, rather than LISTENING and putting in place.

A rather British “disease” which led to many UK suppliers and manufacturers going down the pan.

So you go to footy and sit in silence?

Not for me

Let’s expand this football analogy based upon your statement that, quote – “I loathe all parties and all politicians equally”.

Would you go to watch a match between two teams you loathed? I doubt it. And if you did would you cheer on either? Very unlikely.

Oh, and btw I’ve STOOD and watched plenty of games as a neutral without shouting my disapproval to either side.

Blyth Spartans v Chester was the last one. When did you last attend a game?

Would I go to a match between two teams I loathe?** Unlikely now, as a full time 24/7 carer, but I have done so.

When did I last attend a game?
Relevance?

** There are few, if any, teams I loathe.
There are those I’d prefer to see lose.

Let’s see Alcy, you criticize Swann, not Lord Quibell, because EP is in charge and deserves it, even though others on here and elsewhere are critical too.

But, despite pensioner poverty, lamentable help for the disabled, and delays in treating the sick which you you and your wife have been directly affected by, you can’t criticize the Tories, apparently because others are critical too.

Instead, you allegedly ‘bring balance’ by criticizing a party which hasn’t seen power for 11 years!

That’s daft, isn’t it, old pal, you might as well blame Clement Atlee and Ernest Beverage for building up your expectations in the first place!

I put it to you that, despite the amount of sympathy and understanding which posters on here and the left in general show towards the predicament of people like yourself, your ‘omerta’ is because you are a biased, card-carrying Tory, quite unable to see beyond the blue fog which clouds your vision, objectivity and common sense.

Hence your sitting in silence where the party is concerned!

And that detracts from everything you’ve said about EP, Alcy.

But it’s not unusual – it’s a major problem in Britain today, that some folk are quite lacking in objectivity where politics is concerned, and commit electoral suicide by voting for a party which will cut, privatize or abolish all they need and rely on.

Ah, the strawman argument.
If I criticise Liebour I must be, and I quote,”a biased card carrying Tory”.
Nope.
Yet another who cannot understand what balance actually is.

But why would you NEED to do either?

Most people would keep their gobs shut and watch the game.

Not rocket science, yet the other lefties could never understand it.

The problem is that’s not you displaying balance though.

What is it then, oh wise one?

The silence is enlightening

At least to those who have not yet seen through Swann.

He seems unable to understand simple economics, let alone the idea of giving your customers a good time while parting them from their money, so as to encourage them to come back again.

I AM objective and impartial.
I loathe all parties and all politicians equally.

When I TRIED to add balance to the decidedly left-biased arguments on this site, the lefties all cried.
So I gave up🙄🤔🤨😁

Of course, Gurny.
Because Liebour did soooo much for us under Blair….oh…. wait…

Of course.
Us UK pensioners are so well off.
Once Swann finished taking extra off us, there’s loads left….not.

And if I had £11m I’d not put one penny more in that guy’s pocket.

The debts are his. Not the club’s.

[alcazar]

Aye.
Right.

[alcazar]

Swann take note.
Does not bode well for support next season…if there is one.

[alcazar]

Perish the thought.
As if Swann would…..
Muahahahahahahaha.

But didn’t the Prawn once say we were no longer a selling club?

Or did I dream that, like I dreamed we were having a new stadium, and would be playing exciting attacking football?

[alcazar]

Same question I asked repeatedly…and got shouted down, or told that “match day experience” doesn’t exist or doesn’t matter.

Altogether now guys and gals: Alcazar was right.
No wonder I got up Swanns nose, I saw through him very early.
