Home fans handcuffed by stewards, one decent bloke on the board (Neil aside) resigns. It really is very worrying for the future of this club

The guy has spent enough money to cripple the club, taken the assets in return and consigned us to non league – all the while coming out with soundbites about best interests of the club and its COVID’s fault, its the stay away fans fault the squad is good enough just had some bad luck. He can’t be bothered to turn up anymore – he’s talking to three or four parties (well which is it? Its not hard to know whether its three or four). He has single handedly ruined a community asset banned the local press, banned others, threatened fans with legal action – but the podcasts and interviews would suggest he’s always doing the best for the club – but taking out an EFL loan to allow it to survive. He shouldn’t be anywhere near a football club, I’ve no idea how his casino is going or the James Bond bar, or his horses but quite frankly I just want to feel an attachment to the club which he has single handedly removed from me and over 1,000 others – directly or indirectly. But he will tell you its a small minority of fans who feel like me – it may well be from those left in the ground but I doubt it.

I’m going with a few of us as we have mates In Bristol – but just to say goodbye to league football, that might be it for me. Certainly not giving Swann another penny moving forward, cry all you like about affecting the squad/ability to compete – that’s on the Chairman who is a despicable human being

Its like being a minister in Kim Jon Il’s govt. The fat leader won’t listen to a word they say. Any other time I would applaud this and also applaud the choice as Neil clearly has passion and love for the club but I fear he will not be given the full facts and be treated with as much disdain as the rest of us fans.

I won’t be getting one – the simple fact is Swann states its for transfers/club budget – so I am expected to fund Will Swann’s HoR folly.
No chance

With Swann at the helm with no money then we’re only going one way

These professional years of chairmanship are so much better than those hobby years. Imagine a businessman trying to be professional being bested by someone just mucking about in hobby mode.

clear out last summer 17 players leave
Clear out this summer – most likely 20+ players leave
Clear out in January 5+ players leftThis is the problem – even if we find somebody worth keeping (rare) they are on very short term contracts. The 2 yr deals for KDT Hallam Perry etc – all duds and have no future in the club – KH may rebuild the club but whi is going to come in on a 1 yr deal being paid £700/wk – we will get dreggs again and guess what clear out next Jan/summer.
Until we change the structure off the pitch nothing will change

Remember when Swann said the loan isn’t a problem because we are way within the constraints and also remember KH being flabbergasted by the constraints of the loan
It’s almost like somebody is full of sh*t

One thing both managers said ‘the players just aren’t good enough’. We all know what stinks in the club we all know how to fix it but it won’t get fixed. We could have Ancelotti at the club but with Swann thinking he knows football and can pick a player we will keep sinking. This era will be known by historians as the Kelsey Mooney era. A chairman who knows nothing about the business employing an equally lost at sea son who knows nothing about the department he heads up. btw Kelsey Mooney now at Leamington FC but don’t know if he gets a game

Is that true about the loan being wiped? If so that makes it quite a serious predicament for us moving forward.
Getting back into the league with that hanging over our heads won’t be easy. EFL will want the money back.I am growing increasingly concerned about Simon Elliot who has recently become just a mouthpiece for the regime and not a voice of truth/light for disillusioned fans.

Keith one win in thirty Hill should smash it

Seriously though what is the plan??? Do we have a plan? does anybody in the club have a plan about anything?!? KH said he does but he says a lot but also says very little, its the most haphazard strategy in the history of SUFC.

Scunthorpe went from being adequately funded by the Chairman to a full stop overnight. Throw into the mix a crippling loan which was apparently needed to survive then you don’t need to look any further. If any other business had this to contend with then it would also end up part time (ironically a hobby rather than a genuine business). KH has not improved us but he had dreggs to pick from and dreggs already in the club.
Never need to look any further than Swann – the useless chairman and Swann the equally useless head of recruitment who, in any other walk of life would not be anywhere near that job or if had the amazing fortune to convince a business to take him on would’ve been made redundant for performance issues.

We were down after the Oldham game. The manager isn’t all he thinks he is but the Chairman would see the club fold and not really care / he really shouldn’t be anywhere near a football club. We have a worst version of Fenty – that’s how bad he is. Always liked to beat Grimsby but would never wish the club ill because these are community clubs which are being ruined by these waste of space chairman

Swanns are there today – wonder if they will pick up a vibe or two.
No doubt they are here to sign the assets back over to the club like he promised, also pay off the loan like he promised or do whatever it takes to stop us going down like he promised or maybe start the slip road in October like he promised, or……..well you get the drift

One thing I will say is that Hill’s diamond formation rarely works – Rowe looks garbage in that sitting role and he is so slow when we lose possession and get countered he just cannot keep up.
The fact that Hippo leaving is a loss in some eyes shows how really shit we are.

Hill got the players the embargo let him get – he has had OK games and disastrous games – but we’re expecting a club which is dying to suddenly get up and perform – budgets went from OTT to manage on your own overnight – add to that a loan on a club which had zero debt (if you believe what the chairman says) but needed the loan to survive.
I reckon Hill had none of these players earmarked to come in but had to see what was left (hence end of Jan signings).
Hill isn’t a messiah and time will tell if he is just another decent manager to fail under Swann which is the only place to point the finger for where we find ourselves.

Over the past season and a bit the standard of strikers has been the worse in all my years watching Scunny. I do like this ‘own goal fella though

How bad is it?
minus 35 goal difference and the goalkeeper is head and shoulders above anybody else for player of the season.
