Takeover is another smoke screen like all the off the field things that Mr Swanns employee Lee Turnbull is doing to mask the very poor Manager and on the showing on the last 2 games very poor Team.
Came out of Tuesday nights game and it felt just like coming out of one of last seasons games !
Nothing seems to have changed on the pitch and I doubt with the takeover.
Mr Swann has been very shrewd in appointing Lee Turnbull who is bringing money into the Club and because of this he has no need to sell.
The only real changes we have at the Club are Chip Vans , Face Painting , Singers and loads of small posters going up around town.
We still have the same owner, same Manager and on the showing of the last two games players not much if any better than we had.7 users thanked author for this post.
Should not still be at the Club.
His actions in the last home game towards the Fans should mean he never wore the shirt again
Anyone in any other business who did that to a firms customers would have been sacked on the spot !1 user thanked author for this post.
If he is staying then we need to sign a Striker !

It’s ok saying Nuttalls gesture was spur of the moment etc but I did nt see it but read he also carried on after the final whistle !
If that’s true it’s hardly spur of the moment.
In most professions his actions would lead to instant dismissal contract or no contract as the Fans are the Clubs customers.
He should go and we will hardly miss his goals !The person who should be there to answer questions won’t be and that’s Mr Swann.
At the end of the day those present representing the Club have no power to change or do anything at the Club while Coolsilk own everything.
No doubt there will be a lot of enthusiastic comments from them and plans for the future but in the end it will be down to the owners what really happens and that’s why Mr Swann should be there.Nothing he has ever promised has happened so why all of a sudden are people believing him saying various parties are interested in buying the Club.
If he is still the owner by next Season I can envisage his funding into the Club being next to nothing.1 user thanked author for this post.
Another Monday gone and still no announcement about any interested parties taking over !
Takeover ! Same as new Ground , Ground Redevelopment , Apartments , We Will not go down , Will Leave the Club as I found it and many others !
Just trying to get Fans to buy Season Tickets !5 users thanked author for this post.

Spoke to Lee Turnbull at Orient.
He was full of enthusiasm and ideas for the future of our Club.
Problem is as I see it Swann owns the Club so is Lees employer so Lee might be full of enthusiasm etc but ultimately like any other employee will only be allowed to do what Swann will let him do.
While Swann owns the Club he will also control the finances etc.2 users thanked author for this post.
If nothing changes and by that I mean Mr Swann is still running the Club then in 12 months we could be about to embark on a new adventure in the National League North.
Orient could and should have scored 8 today !
Our fate was sealed months ago and the Owner did not have the courage to see it through to the end.
With this lot we will be in National League North in 12 months time !2 users thanked author for this post.
At this moment in time nothing has changed except Swann stood down as Chairman.
Turnbull is an employee of the Club that Swann owns plus owning everything else.
Got out so he does nt have to face the consequences of his policies when we get relegated in a couple of weeks.
Relegation will not be on his CV !1 user thanked author for this post.
The way that Security Firm Director has put things in his statement makes it sound like he’s involved in some sort of military conflict every other Saturday.

I received an email from the Chairman of the Iron Trust which he gave me permission to put on Iron Bru Site
The stewarding at Scunthorpe United FC has been a cause of concern for the Iron Trust in recent weeks.
I have asked Humberside Police to look into the incident of the ‘cuffing’ which I did witness from the west stand to ensure no laws have been broken by the steward.
I have also asked them to look into the stewarding in general and the disparity between how home and away supporters are treated.
John Needham has discussed this issue with Paul Hurrell and is due to meet Phil Jacklin Head of security at Scunthorpe United on the matter.
We are particularly concerned about those stewards giving the appearance of riot police.The ‘ I ‘ mentioned is Tony the Chairman of the Trust.

Look forward to seeing you at the Fans Forum that the Club are over due in holding !
Mr Swann is in for a shock if he thinks he’s got a yes man !1 user thanked author for this post.
One things for sure ‘ He won’t be a yes man ‘ !
He might not have a vote but you can bet everything will be questioned as well as positive ideas put forward by him.5 users thanked author for this post.
Now that Neil is on the Board representing all the Fans how is he going to inform us about issues raised by him on our behalf and the outcome and also what has been brought up at Meetings he is allowed to tell us.
I appreciate that there are sensitive matters that he will not be able to discuss.
As Neil is representing all Fans I think that it is important that there is a structured feedback to us.I think that Neil will try his best and the fans will get to know bits and pieces of information.
He and Simon will sit at Board Meetings powerless however because the Swann Directors have complete control.
Will anything change while Swann in charge ?
I very much doubt it !
Good luck Neil.4 users thanked author for this post.
As I understand it Neil is not just representing the Iron Trust on the Board but was selected by all the Fans Organisations to represent all Fans on the Board.

Development of the Apartments !!
Will they ever happen ?
The Hotel in Blackpool is months if not years behind schedule no doubt with ever rising costs and still not finished.He’s done all those things and should go but if he does go then our Club goes.
We are screwed on and off the pitch by him1 user thanked author for this post.
Ill ! Really !
When’s the Hotel in Blackpool opening ?
Last I read it was now Autumn 2022 as still wanted fitting out.
This will be costing Coolsilk a fortune as it should have been open a long time ago and building costs and materials are going up all the time.Time for more some more protests !
Did nt realise we had already had some !Do you really think he is interested ?
Will put minimum in to get maximum out when we fold !To be replaced by a 19 who’s not played League Football if rumours are true.

How’s the work coming along on the Ground redevelopment and the new apartments ?
1 user thanked author for this post.
Every Copper in Humberside having a bit of overtime.
There was even a ‘ Humberside Marine Section Car ‘ there !
As for all the Police standing in front of the walls second half , what was that all about !
The Club pay for every Police Officer inside the Ground.
I think Humberside are busing them in to make money.
It’s about time someone looked at what’s going on with this lot !1 user thanked author for this post.
