    You’re right Les, no company would want to sponsor a dodgy enterprise. I wasn’t insinuating it was dodgy, but there are still big questions over the ground and sustainability.

    Agents reputations? Don’t they live and die on getting good transfers and increasing player wages? They can’t legislate for a club potentially going tits up.

    We’ve not heard a word from Swann since Hilton took over. Its not a case of him suddenly going quiet. Can’t see why we would now with lawyers involved.

    Just trying to keep things in perspective here.

    Couple of questions Les:

    Who are the new accountant backers?

    Since when have agents cared that much about set up? I thought their modus operandi was commission from transfers and increased player wages? Unless I’ve got that wrong?

    How do you know Swann has stopped flapping? Where’s that info come from?

    Don’t get me wrong, some very good things are happening (good signings early doors, a groundswell of support from fans and sponsors, etc). However, there are huge concerns over GP still, and budget sustainability.

    Ì’d rather this tribalism (clappers v moaners) didn’t exist but it’s difficult not to fall into that trap when critical thinking is frequently undermined or derided. Probably similar for those who are more optimistic who get tired of being labelled happy clappers. I think it’s wise to be cautious and sceptical though. Don’t want a repeat of previous mistakes do we?

    Lol, ‘I love shirts in a pub’. Earlier on there I saw someone claiming you get 3 points for winning a friendly match. Brilliant

    Obviously they won’t be ringing me. Not sure why you’re moaning about me having an interest in the only club I’ve supported all my life and a concern for fellow supporters who have shelled out nearly £2k, some of whom have had problems obtaining a refund. Maybe you’re not bothered? Some of us are.

    About 60 a few months back. Mr Dave said he’d had a list with a couple of members on who he would be calling before issuing a refund. Glad I didn’t sign up waiting for that call 😯

    Quite a bit. Not least because purchasers were told Hilton had bought the the club, stadium and land, were they not?

    Why would anyone want a refund?

    Why wouldn’t they?

    …to discuss with them and organise a refund if they still want it.

    Can stick a bit more in if the email alert didn’t result in hitting the target amount.

    Very thoughtful and balanced piece which Mr White has responded to in a fair amount of detail…on Facebook.

    Telling people exactly what they want to hear has also been a successful approach to PR.

    True. When I said ‘a fair amount of detaìl’, I meant fairly lengthy for him in a Facebook post. I’m not commenting on the substance of the text. It was also a reference to my criticism of him using Facebook and that particular group in a seemingly exclusive manner

    Lol, ‘it’s on your terms’. Yeah, bit too much to expect interviews with independent journalists isn’t it. How greedy of me.

    Okay, think I’ve got it: ‘worry not…if we don’t…if he can’t manage’..etc

    An interesting take on ‘certainty’ if nothing else. Think it’s called spreading your bets. However you don’t seem too certain about Dean.

    ‘Don’t people have the simple choice to view if they want Deerey,that’s what you normally advocate on here’

    Your usual contrary type response. Of course they have a choice. I haven’t advocated a Facebook fans group to be the key platform to hear from the owner. You’re completely missing or ignoring the point. But that’s par for the course.

    Lol, ‘the Real Madrid of NLN’. We’d better had ‘piss the league’ then, as you’re fond of saying. Otherwise we’ll be a laughing stock.

    Having to research info and updates about club affairs (signings apart) via social media does have it’s fun aspects though-you can come across all manner of ex-schoolmates happy clapping (even though they only ever supported Man U, Leeds or Liverpool and constantly derided the Iron), ex-teachers, who were always a bit loopy tbh, daft friends of friends who now see themselves as some sort Iron overlords, and old workmates you never even knew supported the Iron before Wembley 1999!

    Posted on the Scunny Fans Facebook page, which seems to be the only place he communicates on. Call me old fashioned but whats happened to communicating via local/ regional news and media outlets like our rivals do? Is this the new order? Facebook or nowt? Surely it makes sense to update supporters on a wider scale to give the club more exposure and attraction ?

    According to this person on the Scunny Fans Facebook group, there doesn’t appear to be any problems and everything in the garden is rosy, particularly communication. Shame these supposed fantastic interactions are limited to Facebook. What about the majority of fans who don’t access it? To be frank, I think it’s piss poor limiting interaction to a sycophantic Facebook group.

    ‘Can we just have an appreciation post for David White , for amazing interaction/contact with the fans , for saving not just my club but OUR club , for keeping us all in the know with any information regarding the situations of the ongoings at the club , signings etc , just a massive thank you for giving us all Iron fans faith again into what’s been some really troubled few years . Thank you so much , we all have your back . There’s a few idiots but for every 1 idiot there’s a 1000 iron fans supporting you the whole way , so Thank you. Oh and one more thing , Up the f****** Iron !’

    Does the ‘silent Christian’ have to jump when you say ‘jump’? If he farts when he jumps does he become ‘the flatulent Christian’.

    You can see how seriously I’m taking this…

    Deerey:

    The guy will no doubt be referring to those concerned about women’s only prison spaces, facilities and sport being eroded as transphobes no longer welcome. Along with those concerned about scandals like Tavistock, where autistic and gay kids or teens were pushed onto medicalisation. Such things seem important enough to care about, for me.

    ‘No doubt’? Sorry, but that’s an assumption. You can’t know he’s referring to people like that with legitimate concerns. Don’t really appreciate your implication that I’m not bothered about those issues just because I’m not as big on them as someone like yourself, frankly. And my point still stands about Hartley Brewer and that TV Channel, and Wickes. I’m sure you’ve got enough battles on Twitter to be dealing with, without finding one with someone who is sympathetic to the points you made.

    Is this the sort of thing that’s of great concern to you BPG? I can think of more important things tbh.
