We have Swann’s word for what is stated on the leasing agreement. The same person who could not decide if it was 999 or 99 year lease. The same guy who has banned local journo’s from entering a ground he rarely visits, who doesn’t think twice about calling the lawyers in against fans. Local historians/fans literary pieces banned from being sold in the club shop, or even on the grounds. Just watching Staffy selling his book out of his car boot in Debenhams car park tells you everything you need to know….

There isn’t much sustainable about removing all the assets of the club to clear the debt the owner spent to then add more debt via an EFL loan which severely cripples the clubs chances of survival.
Also employing an infant as head of recruitment isn’t being sustainable
Having owners who care not a jot about fans or their experience isn’t sustainable
In fact I cannot see anything linked to Swann or the club at the minute as anything like approaching sustainable
Does he even visit anymore?

This reference to being ‘leggy’ oft used by Cox is him just spouting crap. A professional footballer 6 games in to a new season is leggy?? Most were leggy throughout the whole of last season.
At least spice it up a bit – how about Dowfarts?

Agree with Les regarding Green. He’s either carrying a knock which effects his speed – in which case his only asset has gone – or he really isn’t that fast – in which case his only asset has gone. I watched him closely last two matches and he struggled to beat what I would class a medium pacer.
Almost never beat his man yesterday, one time got to the bye line really poor delivery (straight out). Played in 3 positions yesterday and would poor in all 3.
Needs a stretch on the bench. Cox said he now has a really strong bench so he needs to mix it up next game

I thought Rowe was excellent at Right Back so I fully expect Pugh to start there on Saturday
I thought Green was his usual ineffective self so I expect him to keep his place.
One new lad in centre mid to replace Pugh and that’s yer lot

I’m thinking Kenyon Hallam crocked and these are the replacements.
On paper look good signings but goals wins games and we are relying on Loft and Scrimshaw for the whole season. Jarvis isn’t a goalscorer and ONeil looks way off it at the minute.
Next 4/5 games will be interesting to see where this squad is at.

Very committed display today. Thought Thompson and Rowe were excellent and Onoraise always controlled his man.
Jarvis did put a shift in but he does lack quality and when you lack quality all you can ask is to put that shift in.
Green still looks off it and several times he had the opportunity to burn his man but just didn’t have the legs.
O’Neil was awful and I may have to apologise to George Miller for the comparison.
The defence looks solid and if we could get a bit of quality up front we should be mid table come season end. A decent striker it would’ve been 3-0 but the most pleasing aspect about today was one simple thing…….
it was entertaining

It’s the duty of the fans to speak out against chairmen like this. We are the custodians of the club not these mickey mouse chairmen so if something stinks call it out – don’t ever accept it as the norm.
could it be the ‘99’ in the user name refers to the date of birth which would put him firmly in Swann junior territory 😀

Definitely concentrating on a James Bond bar and 5 star hotel in Blackpool – because all of that makes business sense
Next plan he has is a Fortnum and Mason on the Desert Rat site

I know of no one on here who wants to see us lose. All on here support Scunthorpe, but an increasing majority are seeing how the club is being run – as much as supporters support is it not also the duty of the club to maintain that community link, to bring fans in and make them part of the club. Running the club like a hobby means you have a genuine love of the club and do not commoditise it.
When people get mugged off constantly they will vote with their feet….

Cox is very limited in his abilities. Has been hamstrung with the shit show above him but anybody could’ve seen a positive approach after the goal would’ve put the game to bed and we just sort of switched off allowed them to regain composure and they should’ve won it really – two absolute sitters missed by them. We had one shot on target.
I’ve heard Cox say we were ‘leggy’ over 20 times now. He’s just not up to the job but he isn’t the reason we will be relegated.

Had the game in the bag but after we scored we threw it all away.
Green was and has been abysmal for a while.
Hippolyte had 8/9 corners first half none of them threatening and second half he gave away possession in really vital areas – that KDT would’ve been chastised for.
We were lucky to take a point in the end and 2,400 fans (so about 2,250 home fans) just shows where this club is at.
Got some new flags though

Mick I know you’re angry and hurting at the minute but don’t ever say things like that again………
