It will all be non football soon enough

To suggest he is looking for a buyer is to believe what he has said he is doing, I’ve heard many statements over the years and none have come off. Of course taking a mortgage out on the grounds days after saying all this hardly supports his stated position, but he could come out and give reasons why but he is refusing to do so….

The club has gone, it hurts but its reality. Swann cares not a jot and wants his pound of flesh for land – in my view anybody who builds on this land is in for a rough ride. If Swann doesn’t sell and attempts to build himself well…. i do not need to say anything

Season ticket money goes straight to Will Swann and then to the players,
90 in fact over the last 3 seasons. I think season ticket money should be given to somebody who knows what he is doing. i don’t take Swann’s word for anything and the rest of them have nothing to say without being fed something from Swann – clearly none of them knew anything about Swanns latest move.
I would consider that many are not renewing on the fact that their money invested wouldn’t be the most secure given Swanns latest move. Will there be a club next season? I doubt it, will season ticket sales save the club? I doubt it.
A disinterested owner with diminishing funds across his business refusing to now speak to media, hardly motivating.4 users thanked author for this post.
Again, Les 3 in 24 perfect for us – play up front with OG

The strange thing is every manager has got progressively worse, so I don’t know how to address that trend other than sticking with KH. Cox looked lost, KH looks more lost but has more media soundbites in his armoury, tactically I have seen nothing more from him (in fact less than Cox) but another sacking would only work with new owners.
The way the club is run I don’t believe an answer exists.
I do believe we will be NL North at the end of next season because we still have a lot of dross whose level is exactly that. No manager can stop the rot only new owners

Must need some money but goes against all that was said at forum and also doesn’t make it attractive for potential buyers. There is only one winner from the demise of SUFC.
He could sell SUFC and tell prospective buyers they will have to find a new ground
It will hardly get people rushing to buy season tickets.

ctually disgusted at what Hill did today. He’s not planning anything he’s destroying confidence. Don’t give me the BS about seeing who has the right attitude. This is what happens when these players come up against a team who isn’t on the beach playing reserves and has something to play for.
He is just ruining careers before they start. So do we wait until 8 defeats and 2 draws into next season and then get rid – with the burden of his team in place – or do we get rid now? He has a lot of cards that he has played to forgive this shower but today was just embarrassing for everyone connected to the club. I watched that today to say goodbye to the FL status but it was maybe saying goodbye to SUFC. Swann (and Hill) have a lot to answer for6 users thanked author for this post.
10 years? Imagine being named after a failed venture that closed many years ago.
How about Henry Afrikas Park

Exeter did OK out of Ollie Watkins. When was the last time we made any decent money from a sale. Certainly not from anybody scouted by the current set up.
We made £5m out of the sale of all our assets

Is the ground classed as an asset if community value? If so should there not be an opportunity to purchase?
Swann dismissed this as it was only valid for a short period – he, as his is mode, missed the point of this – it lets the community and the supporters know who is looking to buy (at the same time as affording the opp to purchase).
I may have missed the point but if no sale is taking place then no need to offer up via community asset scheme? So are we some way off any sale?

Agree, we must have been spoilt previously because we’ve had some fantastic strikers in the past. Not so much in the last 3/4 years (KVV aside)

Les this sounds like the last two season ends / build the experienced spine around some Iron youth.
My view is we cannot go into the NL with so many youngsters starting – it may destroy them and us at the same time. A rotation of no more than 2/3 from the youth team in the side. Some league experience and some
non league experience.Key for me is more pace and width – most if not all the players in the past 2 years have lacked both. Pace and width usually entertains brings the fans back.

The apathy set in long before this season, I tried to get my lads interested but the quality was so poor they aren’t interested.
I rarely watch MOTD and any football on ITV I avoid. I actually enjoy listening to Roy Keane more than any football – he is hilarious at times.Scunthorpe need to try and get the magic back for the fans which means new owners – I started in the 80’s and we were hit and miss for years but it never mattered back then it was just special to watch them – Swann family has really destroyed everything the club meant but we can get it back

The problem I have is Swann believes that peddling out these people somehow absolves him of his responsibility – I have noticed some criticism of Simon Elliot and now Lee Turnbull – but they were (have been) sold a pup and have been used by Swann based on their love of the club and he has taken advantage of that for purely selfish reasons. You could argue that both should not accept any role under this regime but I am sure they both thought they could help connect with the fans but everything at the club is rotten and the task thankless. I just hope recruitment is commenced under a new regime because the thought of another 44 players being used under the Will Swann sh*tshow doesn’t bear thinking about

I’m going to Bristol but that it’s for me no other matches. There will be ten of us, some who haven’t been for years – one last time to wave goodbye to league football
1 user thanked author for this post.
I can’t get my head around 44 players used this season!
A new squad every 11 games!
Which leads you to think relegation was pencilled in some time ago and KH is just looking at as many players as possible to see who to keep.Swann had no intent of paying the loan back so we were only going one way

Planning is irrelevant if any Swann family member is connected with the club. Get them out, new owners in and then recruitment done by those who know football / could add 500 season tickets and much needed positivity

Which Hull away 1-0? :-) We seemed to always win 1-0 there.
