    be interested to hear from any Scunny fans who went to Halifax.. at what point did the fans know of the new owner coming in ?? what was the atmos like ?? so far only seen some poor quality coverage from Halifax fan stypen in which he congratulated the Iron new onwership and wished us well.

    There definately seemed a different spirit in the players , hopefully Nelson can continue to improve what he has to work with , who knows what Mr Hilton is considering re staff etc but we may have stumbled on a dam good manager by accident and if he keeps us up a statue should be erected at GP .. Nelsons Column perhaps.. sorry.. i will get my coat !!

    Hoping for a bumper super loud crowd to welcome the new owners this Saturday.

    Indeed the buzzards are circling .. smelling the rotting flesh of our once great little football club .. take Sharpe n co out of this equation and we had/have Smurthy n Hardy pecking about for scraps…

    Lets hope Mr Hilton comes through and is the real deal

    Hopefully this goes though and we can move on personally cannot see us staying up but staying in business is at least a beginning.

    Agree , really hope this deal goes through , alas there isnt a quick fix ,with this current player roster cant see us staying up regardless but first priority is for the club to remain in business.

    As I was writing about Yates I suddenly realised he went to you guys after us.

    And you also had Rodwell as CEO. Bloody hell we have similar paths.

    Do you have any sort of trust / supporters group ? My thought is that if Hardy is going to buy the club you at least try and make the best of a bad situation.

    I would demand a face to face meeting with him, try and get out of him transparency on where the money is coming from. Is he the front or is it just him? What lessons did he learn from his time at Notts and how would he go about this differently etc.

    My main concern for you is where the money is coming from. That guy is just not rich enough to fund a club. Maybe 20 years ago he was when Clubs were owned by local businessmen but now you need someone to pump in £1m a year just to break even

    Hardy was /is leading a consortium , investors thats where the money is coming from.

    Still after hearing what Notts C fans have to say on his time there its not at all sounding favorable.

    Can beggars be choosers ??

    no news on what Hardy deal is based on .. how much offered and for what ???.. seems more top secret than the docs in Bidens garage.

    Cant see anyone coming in … LT can lobby all he wants re the embargo but in the clubs current situation just who would want to come ?? maybe an aging injury prone loanee on the mend needing game time..
    As previously mentioned thats Nuttal Apter and Lavery gone … they made up just about all goals scored ..that leaves who to play up front n find the net .. apart from the groundsman.

    Without Lavery and Shrimpton I suspect things will turn ugly soon and we could start getting hammered.

    Lavery talking to Donny …re Shrimpton did i miss something ? injured or ?

    a week or so ago it was all smiles and it this sale looked nailed (pics posted, podcasts and wages paid) .. obviously what we know now is that was all bollocks. The fact Sharpe n Co stated they were looking for more investors to join the consortium should of been enough evidence that at that time they didnt have the funds ie enough money to meet Swans price … seems these guys along with LT may have led the fans on a merry dance as its all turned to shite now.

    Truth is only a hand full know the what has happened and the numbers involved and i most comments are at best guesswork or personal opinion like mine.

    Doesnt alter the fact sadly its looking grimmer by the day as the clubs only positive way out are new owners and the clock is ticking.

    lost at home again last time out and have plummeted down the table recently .. still im sure Scunny rolling up this Saturday will put a stop to that.

    Prediction 1-1

    Being a Scunny fan is depressing.. im gonna give Harry a call to get the number of his therapist.

    i really do feel sympathy for the manager n players / staff at SUFC ..but this situation has gone beyond what happens on the pitch the football is now a secondary issue with off field business and saving the club taking precedence.

    I do hope everyone who paid their tenner asked to be unsubscribed from their emailing list, (don’t know how you cancel a life membership) just like Turnbull not worth a w*** as they say.

    I did exactly that on Friday in a reply to their email, calling them an embarrassment and letting them know that they should be ashamed to think they represent the fans. Absolute shambles of an organisation. Every single one of them should hang their heads.

    Cant disagree with any of that ..

    Does LT read this forum ?? if so even though hes in a tricky spot i hope he realizes this is the time to get his tongue out of Swans arse and in the name of pride take a hit even if it means he gets fired or steps down.

    He must be either considering jacking in or hanging on for a few more salaries for being Swans rent boy puppet and judging by the most recent (Swan prepared) statement its the latter.

    I find it hard to believe Nelson and the players were fazed n unhappy re the peaceful pitch protest ..they must realize just how sad and frustrated Scunny fans have become.

    We was having the upper hand.Looking to fight back. After this the players lost the plot. The game came close
    To be called off. Would they have paid the fine the club would have received from there pocket money ?

    Grow some balls Anderson, whilst people like yourself sit and boo the few guys proyesting at what that prick has done to our club over the past six or sewven years, you obviously back his actions by coming out with shite like that. Scunny were outplayed once again like they are every bloody week, and people like you appear to be happy with it.

    @ Anderson .. We could still be playing now and not have scored .. the stats dont lie remind me again how many goal attempts did Scunny manage ?

    This whole dreadful saga has got past the being a crap football side .. its about saving the club due to one mans greed selfishness and stupidity.. i for one cant see how any professional football player could give 100% memtally with all the sh8t thats going on off the feild .. lack of stability means players will be looking to jump ship asap not caring or playing with an desire .. with the exception of a few of the youngsters whom have come through the juniors etc and know nothing else.

    Well done to the PEACEFUL PROTESTORS .. and those booing them or questioning their actions including Lee Turnbill should be ashamed.

    Wow just read LTs bollocks … after working so hard and getting the trust and backing of the fans hes now blown it with this statement in which he fails in every way possible to see it from the fans side…preferring to deflect blame from swan thus keeping his position as errand boy.

    Lee .. respected you for many years but alas you appear to have chosen sides .. after a total lack of fan updates on anything meaningful (only rallying cries for support) this latest statement should be your second last .. the next should be your resignation as you are not making one iota of difference to where this club is heading..

    Claret n Blue running through yer veins .. my arse.
