On the contrary, the vast majority of our supporters have stuck by this team despite being probably the worst in our history.
The supporters as a whole deserve credit, constantly backing the team despite knowing we will probably get beat and still keeping a 3k average.

You know full well Swann will sell to him out of spite rather than the local consortium.

There’s a lot of hysteria being whipped up at the minute- especially on Twitter. People winding each other up and baying for blood.
I saw some of the abuse Wright was receiving and it was unjustified, no matter how you try and narrate it.
Same goes for Turnbull aswell; Good people trying to do impossible jobs.

Agreed; I am also disappointed by the lack of action from the Trust and other groups. I don’t expect intricate details of a takeover process but the lack of information we have received is poor. The Trust should act as a rallying point for supporters to throw their support behind.
Additionally, I have resisted criticising Neil Wright but his role as fans director is redundant at best, he was elected by the Iron trust and seemingly does nothing to enlighten supporters on the ongoing situation. Our only information is rumours on Twitter or leaked bits of info from SST.

Don’t worry about any other club other than SCUNTHORPE UNITED.
If they enter Administration extinction really is around the corner.
This is the problem. No one gives a shit until it happens to them.

Rochdale seeking investment too as they are on course to lose over £1million.
God knows what’s going to happen at Crawley, their owners appear to be complete looney tunes.
Really is a complete shambles on the lack of regulation; these are 100 year old institutions that are being left in the hands of narcissistic tyrants to do as they like with.

I didn’t think the EFL was payable yet?
Also If there is mortgage taken out on the ground wouldn’t Coolsilk be liable ?The playing squad wage can’t be substantial and crowds are still averaging 3,000 which is roughly what we must have budgeted for. Something doesn’t seem to be adding up to why we are losing so much a month.

Where is the money going ?
Crowds have held up reasonably well so how on earth do we lose 90k a month if we were meant to be sustainable going into this year.
Wasn’t all debt wiped off with the stadium transfer?

The club is worthless, operates at a loss and has no tangible assets other than some training bibs; Effectively it should be bought for a £1.
The stadium/land was allegedly last valued at £4million, I don’t know if that’s still the case and how the planning permission expiring for the apartments will affect it.
I highly doubt Elliot and co have the readies to afford the stadium. You are then potentially looking at paying the mortgage loan off and also the EFL loan. God knows what else is hiding in the closet as there is rumours of unpaid tax bill.
The consortium is going to need deep pockets

Bigger question is will there be a club by March 4th?

His gambling addiction is shocking but it’s not something I’ll use to beat him up with; I just want his ties with Scunthorpe United completely severed and we can move on.
If that means us going bust and reforming, then so be it.

Made a massive difference just keeping things simple formation wise and playing people in their correct position; disappointing not to get the 3 points as 1 isn’t sufficient I’m afraid.

Not what I wanted from the new owners, maybe the old chestnut “His contract was up in the summer better to get abit of money now than nothing later”
Didn’t realise the takeover had been confirmed ?
