Good recommendation. Thank you.

Good to see a striker finally arrive.
Had a decent stint in the NLN so hopefully he can replicate that form with us, rather than his time at Hartlepool.Another striker, CB and left winger and we should be about there

The rumours back a couple of weeks ago were always that the deal was looking to be completed around the 1st august.
Really starting to believe that Turnbull should have a permanent role within the club. Statement was impressive yesterday and seems to be more action than words.
Hopefully the new owners keep him on board and bring Elliot on board in some capacity.

If Nuttall is classed as our main striker then we are in trouble.

Realistically we are still 3 strikers short. If we are playing 1 up too then 2.
Nuttall seems to have gained some mythical status over the summer where he is going to bang 10 goals plus for us. Will be a struggle in my eyes.

We never have, and never will be able to sustain championship football. We’d have probably ended up bust as god knows what he will have spent.

Not hitting the panic button yet but I expected some more signings this week. Need to get lads in and up to speed, especially attack minded players.
We can’t afford to be scrambling around once the season has started; I understand the budget is low but it is what it is and we have to adapt.

One of the things that pissed me off the most was that he kept highlighting the fact we don’t have enough supporters to be competitive in league one and might even struggle in league two on sub 3k gates.
We have not averaged under 3k since 1997- since then we have only averaged under 3,500 only once. This is not the norm Peter you delusional moron. You have alienated nearly 1,000 supporters through rapid budget slashing, a complete lack of competence, and abysmal PR.
Crowds between 3.5k- 4K should be able to sustainably support a club in the 4th division long term- which it has done for the best part of 72 years.

Just can’t believe it until it happens.
Was a complete disaster of an interview by Swann earlier- I don’t know what to believe anymore. There were So many contradictions and riddles.

Would love for him to take some accountability and own the shit show he has orchestrated.
However, we know the make up of the man now so don’t expect nothing else but riddles, excuses and deflection.

The Scunthorpe fans Facebook page has stated a potential takeover has been quashed due to Swann wanting to keep hold of shares so that Coolsilk still have access to the land.
No idea how true it is.

Like myself, most will be waiting on a Potential sale.
If the rumours are true and he sells a majority stake, then I reckon we will shift another 500 before the start of the season. Possibly more if the ‘feel good’ factor continues with a couple of Butterfield Esque signings.

All look very nice. Will be buying the home shirt.
Good to see Simon Elliot involved with the sponsorship too.

Don’t understand why we are not utilising the loan market. We should have been knocking on the door of the Yorkshire clubs back in may trying to get players through the door.
I remember reading an article a while ago about Lincoln’s staff attending larger clubs with a slick PowerPoint presentation detailing how the could develop future talent in a bid to get clubs to loan them higher quality players.
Good to see another player finally through the doors. Looks the pick of the bunch out of the trialists so hopefully we can get a good run of games out him.
Desperately need to some more bodies in during the next week though. A goalkeeper especially.

Writing is on the wall for relegation already.
We must have a set budget that still has room for signings. If we do, then why aren’t we doing business earlier ? Realistically we’ve been down since April so why wasn’t we getting a squad ready then.
Not buying Keith’s bullshit excuses on Humberside either, clubs paying less than us are getting signings through the door.

Garbage fixture list.
Thought they usually kept the closest games on a Saturday to allow clubs to maximise revenue. The difference between Halifax on a Tuesday rather a Saturday could be potentially 1,000 fans.
Most northern games on a Tuesday night is ridiculous and takes away what little joy we might have this year.

Grimsby are riding the Lady Luck train to promotion! If it wasn’t for a stupid push on one of there players by a notts county player with 20 seconds to go in the game on Monday they would be sat at home in fishyville by now.
Sorry but there’s nothing lucky about it. They’ve played some good stuff and deserved to go through both ties.
We are in serious trouble if that’s the standard we are up against

If the nucleus of our team next year are these youngsters then we are going down again.
Simple as that.
