Nothing will change until at least the owners sell up.
You can’t blame the owner for that result!!

Yes it is Hills fault.
He knew when he came in what he had to work with. He was shocking last season.
He knew that this year he wasn’t going to get very much cash. He hasn’t done much business early. To date, we have not seen a great improvement- in fa t, very little..
Swann wasn’t selling up when Hill joined, but he must be gone when Swann leaves. If Swann doesn’t sell up then Hill should go anyway.

Does anybody ever hear a rumour that puts Swann in a positive light?
Maybe, just maybe, he does want rid but the potential new owners are trying to screw him? You never know…..
F ASLEF our lner and Gwr trains are still running so me and the grandsons are still going, can’t get back mind you, managed to get a lift home though from someone who’s watching Coldplay Friday and Scunny Saturday. Still waiting Ironawe for your reply lol.
I heard that Coldplay had changed to Sunday because of the industrial action. That makes it difficult for you.
A great result. This will give the squad massive confidence.
Good start.

Had 1-1 in the Prediction League all week but a sudden rush of optimism has got me changing it to 2-1.

Great decision 👍
I have complained many times about the use of bad language on this site. Ibhave never had a response to any of them and it is only rarely that any post is changed/removed.
On one occasion I did indeed use the term that you refer to, and it was in response to someone who used that word in their post. Childish of me, but there you have it.
Surely WG wasn’t talking out of his posterior (and then backtracking!!).
I’m with Ferrite.
Hill did not instil any confidence at all in the squad last season. Whilst I understand the need to introduce mew players and experiment, the approach did not look structured and there were very few positives from it.
He will need to show a lot more endeavour and consistency before I start singing his praises. Let’s hope he does.
It’s meant to have been written off from a club point of view but like a lot of Swanns rhetoric I don’t necessarily believe it and your right WG, somebody will have to pay it off it isn’t going to disappear on it’s own.
Accusing him of leaving quite a debt, when you have no idea AT ALL of what is or isn’t happening is abuse.
Come back when you know what is really happening.
Swannster has left us with quite a debt so we’ll still need to be careful.
How do you know this? How much is it? The reality is that you have no idea. Why not wait until you know what is happening before abusing someone?
Based on Keith Hills habit of bringing in players he has worked with before who know what strikers worked for him and are they looking for a club?
Does anyone have any ideas??Keith Hill doesn’t……

Swann has taken a lot of stick over the last few years, and rightly so.
That said, based on what he said tonight, he will be leaving the club in a good position financially.
Let’s hope that the deal goes through as quickly as possible and that the new owners deliver immediately.
A fresh start for all.

Just double-checked the prices versus last season – same cost for the terrace except there now seems to be a “matchday” price which is £3 more. Why?
It’s quite simple
They offer you a £3 reduction if you buy in advance. You will attend if you purchase a ticket.
If they have the same “pay on the day” price no-one will buy in advance. Then, if the weather is crap, you got hammered on Fri night, Scunny got hammered on the Wed night (very possible), or the missus wants you to go shopping, you won’t bother going.
Not really interesting unless they explain what she is taking up. What a wasted opportunity.
Keith has a plann. God help us…….
God hp us…….
What a dream. You know full well that they will be hammered if they fail at any point.
I don’t thinks so IA but Pugh might still be available.
Yes, but is Pugh available? 😉
Don’t give up your day job………………
I’m surprised that people are surprised at Hill. In all of his interviews last season he was dull, boring & uninspiring. What made you think he’d change?
There is a lot of “imagining” and “thinking” going on, but very few facts. The reality is that nobody really knows anything!!

‘Was promised to reopen several months ago, guess it’s a Scunny thing.’
Promise or intention? Seem to recall it was the latter. And how would Swanny have any influence (as you said in a previous post) on whether the non-footy side reopened again or not?
Rarely agree with awaywego, but he is correct in saying that whatever Swann says becomes a “promise” when there really is very little that he has promised.

I thought Swanny was the owner when it came to all things Scunthorpe.
Not according to UTI99. It’s the COO/CEO!
I don’t believe he ever said that.

Ah, more words put into people’s mouths.
Not at all. Read his posts (a number of them) and he clearly directs, and names Swann, the questions at our owner.
As for Swann, he can’t win. He speaks & he is a liar, he doesn’t speak & he should do so, and someone speaks on his behalf & they are being conned.
I really hope that he sells up soon, but people making assumptions, making their own interpretation of what has (or hasn’t) been said and calling.on him to respond to a post on this site, is getting tedious.
He will not divulge what is happening re a sale, and neither should he. Let’s just hope it is sooner rather than later.

He said in his post that he wanted Swann to answer his 3 questions, so it is the issue here.
Interest, consortium, tyre kickers at best.
Based on no knowledge whatsoever?
Spot on Cass and Sanfran
It is pleasing that at least two fellow respected Iron fans can both read and understand fellow posters massages without feeling the need to misquote, make up, mislead or down right spoil posts.
Or the other tactic of getting fellow posters arguing with each other whilst pouring fuel on both sides.
Or trying to take a thread in an altogether different direction.
Or creating a post which is unpopular/ controversial or both and then pinning the blame on a.n.other who questions or contributes to the debate.
O we gay aw
If you want Swann to answer your questions, then send them to him.
As you well know, he never posts on here.
Why would he sell?, he’s said the club has to fund itself through ticket sales and the relevant football authority hand outs all clubs get each year. If we succeed he will take money out the club ( I know he says he never does but who buys that FFS ). If we fail he liquidates the club, sells the land off for redevelopment and cashes in. I don’t believe he’s selling anytime soon unless it’s on his terms for a figure that would be higher then what the club’s worth, after all be has a debt of at least £12 million to pay off, you don’t write off debt you have to pay it off eventually. Just an opinion of course.
What a terrible post. Not a single fact in the whole piece.
If Swann wanted to make money he wouod never have bought a football club.
He is a dreadful Chairman, and he has made a complete mess of our Club. I really hope it is not to late to keep us in business.
However, making things up is not the way to progress. Let’s just hope that there is a buyer in the pipeline.
Gary Hooper, Billy Sharp, Andy Keogh…
