Have we stumbled upon a top chairman ?

Only yesterday you were asking if he was dodgy!!

Good game and excellent atmosphere.

Feeney was really strong when he came on. Like him a lot.

Their no 6 was quality. Lanky bastard as well.

If we keep playing like that, and convert a few more chances, we have an outside chance of staying up.

Enjoyed the day.

If everyone that has said they are going turns up we should be over the 4,000 mark.

The op tells us not to get too giddy until we get the details. He then says “from what I’ve read” which is throwing more BS into the pot.

All this pretending & speculating has become really boring.

Why can’t people just wait & react to actual fact.

There’s no way he would have left there if he hadn’t all but sealed the deal for the club. According to some this could be done and announced before tomorrow’s game or the day after, it’s supposed to be near enough done.

Hilton was down at the club yesterday as well.

It must be happening. Burny has spoken!!

Probably the wrong forum but the Met recruitment procedure is terribly flawed, even their own boss says so and has stated he could sack plenty of his current staff if a proper probe was launched. Let’s not forget the poor girl arrested under COVID laws on the streets of London not long ago, driven to a wood, raped, murdered and buried in the wood by a serving Met officer. Now this low life surfaces and warnings were ignored five times in his employment regarding abuse of women. No not every officer is a rapist and I apologise if that was my inference but the crap culture of abuse and racism running through its ranks means the police have been losing respect for years and with good reason. They say themselves they are badly in need of reform so pull your head out of the sand III and I won’t take lectures from you, a Swann apologist.

I am not, and never have been a Swann apologist.

You will not find a single post from me that supports him.

Yep this government loves going after the little people but when the little people’s houses get burgled or their cars stolen, they couldn’t give a toss. Mind you seems the police are into rape big time after today’s latest disgusting revelations, absolutely tragic the way this country is going.

Do you even think before you post?

1 copper out of 45,000 Met staff is a rapist and you condemn the lot of them.

Would you condemn the whole of Banbury (pop circa 45,000) if 1 person there is found guilty of rape? Thought not.

There are few actions without downsides, but some might say the publicity is a price worth paying to put pressure on Swann.

Looking through a few other forums and it has made it on to there. None were discussing our plight when we didn’t.

Yes people will discuss our plight. However, they will do nothing to help us.

We discussed Bury and others on here – but did nothing.

Any activity by us supporters should have happened 12 months ago. It is now too little too late. And before all you keyboard warriors get carried away, no I haven’t got involved. I have neither the time nor the inclination.

These are just my thoughts and instincts due to the ongoing dire situation with Swann. A deal had supposedly be done with Ian and Simon in December. Simon came on the radio and stated that Peter and Karin Swann had rung him and wished them the best of luck. People in the media have said also that the goalposts keep being moved. The London consortium also put a bid in and now there seems to be other interested parties. If Swann had wanted to sell surely he would and should have done by now, particularly as he has run all the debts up which are owed.

None of us has any idea what has been offered to Swann. Neither do we know what was demanded as part of any deal.

If you are expressing your opinion you should make it clear. It seems to me that you blame any delay on Swann (which may or may not be correct), but the reality is that you know nothing more than the rest of us.

Let’s just hope that any deal is completed as soon as possible.

[IronIronIron]

Can you tell me how you know he has moved the goalposts? I was unaware that anything has been made public.

Please also explain how you know he would rather sell to anyone other than the local consortium. As far as I know there have been no other offers made. Let me know if I am wrong.

None of us want this to drag on any longer than it needs to, but making up stuff just agitates people even more.

So it is 5million as stated in the accounts and not the fantasy figure of 900k Awayswego was suggesting.

To be fair to Awaywego, I believe he stated that the land was worth £900K. The £5M refers to the land, ground etc. etc. (Which is very close to the £5.3M listed on the books).

Let’s all pray that a deal is pushed through soon.

This person is a loud mouth who thinks he’s the biggest & best Scunny supporter around. He talks as if he is best mates with people and intimates that he knows more than anyone else – but never has anything new to say.

He can also be rude and abusive on FB and looks up other people’s profiles and makes rude remarks about them. I know this for fact as he did it to me.

Waste of space.

[IronIronIron]

Sorry Les, but the vast majority of people would snap your arm off to buy a property with a 10, 15 or 20% reduction.

I think you over estimate the depth of feeling for the Club in Scunthorpe as a whole (when probably over half the support comes from outside the town).

The “Fans Director” contributes as mush as our broken scoreboard. I cannot recall the last time he made a meaningful announcement, or even acknowledged the fans legitimate concerns. I can only assume that the club have instructed him to say nothing, and if that is indeed the case, he should resign as they are preventing him doing what he was elected to do!

Daz, I agree that the guy has had no impact on anything. However, whilst you talk about the fans “legitimate concerns”, how many of them have actually contacted him to make them known and/or ask his advice. Surely it is a two way relationship?

There would be no point having a trust if someone else carries out what they should be doing, people will listen to a recognized organization not to someone they don’t know. The Southend trust come up with numerous ideas and funding to help their club. I suppose if they are all like you on the trust ironironiron it sounds has if it will be to much hassle for them.

I agree that the Trust has not torn up any trees, but if people would listen to them then you would be best to go to them with your ideas and ask for their support.

As I do not live in the area I am unable to commit to attending meetings. I have been disappointed with what they have achieved to date (or not achieved), but it is more than most others have done.

[IronIronIron]

I am not supporting the Trust, although I am a member.

It just seems that when people have their bright ideas they always suggest that somebody else carries it out.

If you have an idea why not approach the Trust and get their support?

[IronIronIron]

Awaywego & Daz, have you bothered to get in touch with the Iron Trust?

It’s always somebody else who has to do the legwork…….

Too little too late.

If you think that saying “alleged” will keep you out of the firing line, you are wrong.

So, if you are going to make any further allegations, tread carefully.

So you expect someone to take on a shit role for 6 months, for free? It certainly wouldn’t enhance their CV and they would likely get abuse too, especially if there wasn’t a major turnaround. Unlikely (and I wouldn’t blame them).

Jumping to conclusions is wrong, especially some of the ridiculous ones that have cropped up – and some people now look really stupid.

What is worse is where people just make stuff up, and that has happened a lot. Totally unnecessary.

We don’t know everything, but I don’t think faffing around with some property developer for ages because he wouldn’t sell to a local consortium is the sign of someone who was acting just in the interests of the club. I think we can have some assumptions as to why it took so long for him to prioritise Elliott and Sharp.

If you were selling you’d look for the best deal you could get. Rightly so.

We don’t know if the local bid was ready when the London consortium made theirs. Swann cannot be blamed for selling the club!! We’ve been on at him for the last 3 years to do so.

[IronIronIron]

The reality is that we know nothing!!

Is Swann moving the goalposts? If so, please explain NLI because we don’t know.

Sp many people on here are making things up or “assuming” things. Let’s have some facts to back up what you are saying.

I’m not saying Swann is playing ball, but just making up stuff is not acceptable.

9 goals in the group stage, similar to the last world cup. More goals than England scored at the 2014 (2), 2010 (3), 2006 (6) and 2002 (6) world cups put together. But, sure, Southgate’s a negative, defensive manager who plays with the handbrake on.

The total goals scored in the list ypu provided is 17. I’m sure that’s more than the 9 they have scored so far!!
