I interpret the statement to mean that Insolvency Practitioners have either been consulted or soon will be.
The inference was the same for me. Insolvency Practitioners followed by a period of Administration.
Just like the supporter cap and so many other things. All these horrendous lies against honest Dave end up coming true.
It’s almost uncanny.
As Fans64 said on Facebook when someone commented that The Athletic were given an inch and took a mile, actually they were given a mile and took an inch. That does sound like there is a lot more in the pipe and on its way, and Dave knows so is bailing now while he still has his good names.
A season ticket should be considered as for Scunthorpe United Football Club, not Glanford Park specifically, surely?

Both posts spot on guys .. why the fook did Hilton buy Scunny in the first place if he doesnt really have a pot to piss in
Perhaps the land around GP represented great opportunities to fund a pot to piss in, and it was always going to be (the club) taking one step forward then three steps back and so on and so on, until things got to the point where the land was developed and paying off? We may never really know.
Thief Encounter.
The Iron Hour, supposed fellow fans, along with Hilton went out of their way in an interview to smear and create a huge and potentially dangerous pile on for people on here.
The Max Bell Factor?
He’s not worth a second more of our time. Hilton might be the one pulling the trigger but only after years of torture from Swann.
There’s some truth to this – but don’t say you’ve bought and paid for a football club and a ground when you haven’t got the money – and don’t behave in such an aggressive and unprofessional manner. Hilton is as responsible as Swann, imho.

I would actually be interested to hear Peter Swann’s take on all this, tbh.
Playing at Gainsborough in the meantime…
I assume people are unable to view a situation over a lengthier period of time. Not every death is instant!
Hilton did say there would be no further comments. I mean do we really need one, silence is golden.
He said that all comms would be through official club channels. Then a few days later made several posts on Facebook and interacted in the comments on posts by others.
It’s not professional at all and debases the credibility of the club, imho.
… and they’d need two hours!
I believe you mean Liz Truss, Theresa May’s dad was a clergyman, she’s probably more communion wafer than lettuce.
You are absolutely right, Liz Truss. Apologies for my mistake.
I’m not saying I don’t believe that the players haven’t been paid in the past, or that there is a chance they won’t be this month (as nothing would surprise me at the moment regarding club finances). But are we sure? Is there proof?
It’s really simple, imho. Don’t slag anyone off at a personal level. Ask questions or make your point in a way that shows decency. And if you have concerns about the current owner and the current situation, it is 100% legitimate to have them – it goes with the territory of being a supporter. But be as careful as you can be when putting them across.
I don’t think it’s any more complicated than that. But there are always people looking for a fight, though, or who are unable to accept anyone else’s reality – and actual reality – if it is different to theirs.

It’s not yet proven to be from him, though. He has denied it. Hopefully an investigation from that body will get to the truth of it.

An external review at some point, in the future, of how social media communications played it’s part in this car crash would be beneficial I reckon. Lots of lessons to be learned. Might aswell add it to the novel about a fictional non-league side in turmoil and the Netflix drama.
Any sort of examination of social media / comms problems would be a minefield. I don’t think it could actually come to any conclusion other than a certain person is bang out of order (if we’re talking about the club itself having had a proper strategy, which has been compromised and devalued time and again).
I really hope future owners stay off social media. It rarely ends well and creates division. Whatever is posted on social media from the owner or Board should be posted on the club’s website so it’s more accessible to all fans – specially those that don’t / won’t entertain Twitter and Facebook
If Mr Wagstaff or Mr Wharton (for example) had started putting out club info in this manner rather than through official channels I would have been seriously alarmed. It’s highly unprofessional and completely compromises the credibility of the club itself – and it absolutely causes chaos. As I have said above, you have to wonder if that is the intention.

You have to wonder if this level of social media engagement is from a playbook – all about causing chaos and division.
I can see where Facebook and twitter has an advantage in that they don’t have thread titles so the awful dogs abuse aimed at us isn’t highlighted as much. This thread is mild by comparison in it’s actual content.
I have to agree with this. We all have opinions and they can be passionately expressed, and occasionally the wording can be ill thought out. But on here I’ve rarely seen the abusive and aggressive tone there has been on the Facebook page in recent times.

Is the signage our ‘Theresa May’s lettuce’? Will it remain in existence longer than the club?!
I’m no MLK but I reckon the wreckage can be salvaged… etc etc
This is a really noble idea – a fan-owned, democratically run club with lifetime memberships and subscriptions / shares. I can see this being difficult to establish but working well – as long as there is a constitution that people sign up to and must live by in terms of behaviour.
Call a spade a spade, he’s a council estate boy and expresses himself similar to me were talking football here totally different to everything else, I don’t imagine anyone acts like they do on a Saturday anywhere else, just look at those on Saturday on how they acted I’ll even include myself I committed fraud with many others on the trains some didn’t even pay a penny they just blag it I payed but used the more expensive trains and not the ones I booked. And yes I know it doesn’t include all fans I’m sure your well behaved NLI but You’ve never had a kind word for him and now he’s had not kind words about you just a bit more colourful we’re than yours though.
None of that is a valid justification. As a professional, and as someone in the public spotlight, you should hold yourself to a higher standard of behaviour and manners.

The football club gets dragged lower and lower as time passes
A narcissistic clown followed by a narcissistic debaser.
It’s almost unbelievable.

The Lower League Look claiming they have proof. It will be interesting to see what they have.
The American financial journalist also saying there is more to come re: Wham.

I have seen his post comments on Facebook. I thought it was very very strange that he said “this is a lie” and then immediately switched into talking about the bans.
I think anyone with decency would most likely have said “I am devastated by this, it’s a heinous slur, I would never ever say anything like this, I will track down the people responsible for this terrible mistruth, I will get my solicitors involved” etc etc.
I certainly wouldn’t expect them to just brisk past it as if it’s the least important part of the screenshot, and move on to justifying banning orders.

Pay Jimmy Dean and the backroom staff their August wages
Is there proof that they haven’t been paid?
Seems to me that the legal battle with Swann is not ‘for the stadium’ (as many seem to think) but to determine whether Hilton’s actions in issuing a lease hold any legality. As he admits himself, judgement either way leads to GP being gone – Swann gets it back.
So, therefore we will be evicted either when the case is heard early next year, or if and when it collapses before then. We will be playing at (probably) Gainsborough – and it looks like this would have been the case either way the court case went.
Bored of the emotional manipulation now. Everything he says is about how hard done by he is, while trying to explain away concerning aspects. It’s all designed to make people feel bad for him and feel bad that people dare to hold him to account. From day one he has not been professional, and after much gaslighting nonsense he is reaping the division that was inevitable. I have not seen him ever take responsibility or make an apology for anything without finger wagging at others.
DeereyMe is right in that getting so irritated by this is futile. All I can do is just feel sorrow that him, and the previous idiot have ruined what was a good club.
This is not how business should be conducted.
