There without doubt should be a panel set up overseeing this type of carry in the lower leagues. Swann should have had his knuckles wrapped on the very first season we/he decided to spend more than what we were earning.
One point he spent around 120% more than what we were earning. A panel overlooking such matters should have nipped that in the bud very early on because that’s absolutely ridiculous.
More certainly needs to be done.
They were almost 150% and at its worth pointing out nobody on this forum- nor on social media- was particularly concerned; we were content with watching entertaining football and trying to compete with Sheffield United and Bolton.
Wasn’t it Phil Parkinson who said Bradford- a club with 15k attendances- couldn’t compete with Bury and Scunthorpe in wages at the time.
Madness

Would’ve been below 4K without the announcement. If we can get back to 3k+ home crowds regularly then that’s a start, no easy task with such a diabolical football team.

Don’t expect any miracles soon. Make no mistake, this an absolutely woeful team and it’s not about getting 2/3 players to make things better.
Mass clearout required unfortunately, every position needs strengthening.
Pure comedy whoever decided to play ogle left back by the way. Set him up for a fail there.

I’m a very emotional Iron fan tonight, and am not embarrassed to say I shed a tear of joy at the news.
But as others above say it isn’t all going to change for the good overnight. Let’s face it we are still deep in the doo-doo footballing wise.
Let’s hope it’s a new dawn not a false one.

If we stay up then great but I fully expect to be playing NLN next year, and to be honest I couldn’t give a shit. Mass clear out and rebuild the club from top to bottom, won’t need a large budget to compete either.
Local games and winning football will bring larger crowds no matter what league we’re.
Not felt this excited about watching the club for years.

Loved listening to Elliot on Humberside; no bullshit, no false promises. The pockets aren’t deep so it’s not going to be quick fix.
Good news is we’ve got the ground back, not sure if we have to pay the mortgage taken out or if that’s included in the deal.

Fair play to most cod heads. Most of them will laugh at our drop down the leagues but only the morons will want to see us go bust.

If the staff aren’t paid I’d happily contribute to a crowdfunder- and I’m sure many others will too- for them if that’s something that can be arranged?

Do they have the required funds more to the point? I hope so

The witch hunt for Wright and Turnbull doesn’t sit right, Keyboard warriors lashing out because there’s no one else to have a go at.
I agree that Wright should be more open with the supporters but the role really is redundant with the current regime so perhaps he should look at stepping down.

Can’t blame him, he’s out of his depth and it’s not worth the hassle.
We are only going to get noddies looking at the job now as it really is a road to nowhere.
Bishop’s got too much about him to drink from the poisoned chalice.

Not surprising in the slightest.
Won’t be going back until the ownership changes, enough is enough and it’s a complete waste of time.

Hurst couldn’t keep Grimsby up when he went back.
They were cut adrift with a mess of a squad and after their January signings, almost overtook us.

We wouldn’t be in the national league if Hurst was in charge that’s for sure

Don’t understand why supporters on Twitter get so irate about not being updated on a potential takeover every few weeks and then turn their ire towards Turnbull and Wright. Most of the time nothing will be happening and anything that does will be commercially sensitive, more so when Swann is involved.
Unfortunately we probably won’t hear anything until a deal is done, or collapsed.

Notts did football for a fiver on Saturday, works for them but wouldn’t for us.
Under a new owner, proper marketing and a team that doesn’t take 10 games to win a game, then there’s no reason we couldn’t get 6/7k in once a year.

Hearing that Emley- whom play at the same level as Winterton- will have over 1,000 at their next home game, they are offering free entry for Huddersfield season ticket holders.

The whole club is saturated with a losing mentality. It’s passed on from one team/manager to the next.
Whole thing needs a restructure but unfortunately until Swann goes, it will be more of the same.
I said last year we will be relegated to the NLN this season and I’ll put good money we will be bottom half of the NLN- if not worse- next year.

I wish they would give Butterfield the ball in midfield more often, then get into a little bit of space upfield or out wide to receive the ball from him. He showed with the delivery against Wrexham for Rowes goal what a good passer of a football he is but he rarely gets chance to show it when we keep hoofing it aimlessly into channels time after time.
I can see Butterfield being the latest one to end up on the ‘scapegoat scrap heap’. Brilliant footballer for this level and we should be playing to his strengths.
