Well done Matt. I knew you could do this.

[Lord Kitchener]

In the interest of fairness, I have posted (copy pasted) Mr Hilton’s response to Swann’s accusations.

I would just like to post and say how delighted I am to have Lee and Roj as directors of the club. I had taken Lee off originally along with all others whilst I learnt about the business and the people involved. I have full trust in Lee and his love for the club is undeniable.

Roj Rahman is somebody again with the club imbedded deep in his heart and he is a wonderful human being and businessman. He will bring so much to the club moving forward.

I sincerely thank them both.

I would also like to confirm that creating a board of local people to support me was always something I had planned to do. Like I have said, I just needed to understand the business and people in and around it.

I will openly admit that I underestimated the work involved and the club has had a massive impact on the life I was accustomed to. I’m hopeful that having the board in place will encourage the doubters to back the club in the knowledge that the decisions made will be by numerous local people with a genuine affinity to the club and not just by some stranger from Nottingham.

The new board members (more to follow) will also help me push the club forward with their commitment and expertise, filling voids left by departing paid staff and therefore allowing a bigger sustainable commitment to the playing budget as you have all seen this summer.

The board has not been set up for financial reasons as reported by the negative few on another site. Of course I would hope that all board members will be a financial benefit to the club, but anything they generate will only be used to help the club sustain and compete at higher levels.
I would like to mention my disappointment at the supposed fans page Iron Bru. I have noticed during my time here that their posts are predominantly of the negative variety. I do not think I have seen many if any positive posts. I noticed this in April and reached out for them to meet me face to face and ask their questions. An invitation they declined. It seems this site are far happier pushing their own negativity than finding out the facts. I am also fully aware that they still liaise with Mr Swann. This was confirmed when a question was directed my way containing information that only myself and Mr Swann were privy to.

Whilst peoples opinions will differ which I’m all for, I really do not have time for the minority of cowards that push their own interpretation of events when the truth is only a question away. Especially those hiding behind fake names.

Because of this, one of the first things I will be asking the new board to consider will be an official supporters club to be formed with direct access to the board. Possibly even represented on the board.

Whatever your thoughts about me are please remember this. I saved the club you all love from extinction as I promised at a significant financial cost, I am handing over the running of it to local people and supporters, I have reset the club and together we have built a fantastic squad preparing for a hopefully successful period. I have created a business model that is now sustainable and I have asked for nothing in return. I am obviously very proud to be the Chairman of your Football Club and I promise my commitment will continue moving forward.

One last point, the June 22 accounts were filed a few days late and my apologies for this. It was a slightly embarrassing oversight on my part. It is not the big deal that the minority are using to push negativity again and certainly no reason for concern.
I’m assured they will appear on companies house imminently.

Finally, football is back Saturday and the season is nearly here, it’s now time to unite 💪 and get behind Jimmy and the boys, what is any of this for if it isn’t about getting back to winning football matches

they just deleted a post with a direct link to factual information ,https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/00123622

And you just deleted one of my posts that was just as harmless as the one I was replying to.

Yeah, typical…

What a renegade! Could always open up that dodgy forum you moderated on and post on there too. Or was it shut down by the police?

Nah that forum is still around, but I no longer fit in. It might sound strange to you. But as people get older, they often change their minds about things. Let’s just say I’m more liberal now than I was then.

Ha ha ha!

I see you like to keep referring to my name, and of course continue with the ‘racist’ accusations. That’s cool, it’s what I expect, especially from dreary.

But to put things straight. I merely pointed out that it was never my intention to ‘slag off’ the whole forum and all members. Just a handful of stuck up pod bullies here.

Many thanks. UTI

[Lord Kitchener]

We got 11 new players and hanged on to some of the decent performers from last season. Most of our players for next season were signed before pre season, it’s been a long time since we could say that!

So come on, UP THE IRON!

You are always saying this, as was Bad Apple before you… 🤡

[Lord Kitchener]

It’s taken you two hours to come back with that old pony. Did you not understand what I meant when I mentioned ‘idiots?’

This is why I don’t feel that I can remain on this forum anymore. It’s feckin depressing.

As for your welfare? I couldn’t care less about that either.

UP THE IRON!

Based on what?

Well, well, well Ellis, why are you so interested in anybody’s opinion on here?
I thought you’d made it plain on your Facebook thread that you have no time for either this forum, the owner and moderators or indeed the members of the forum.
Then why do you put yourself through the obvious trauma of reading and posting on here?
You even have your own thread in “non football”, perhaps you’d post your explanation in there.

He is not Ellis, I am.

This place has turned into a complete shite fest. I honestly feel sorry for SST having to suffer some of the idiots on here, especially one of his pet mods.

The prophecies of doom, the negativity about all things Iron, the allowing of literal stalking of our new chairman. It used to be so good once, shame innit?

Nah, he’s in too deep!!

[Lord Kitchener]

Yeah but why let the truth get in the way of a nice miserable moan?

‘It’s the chairman, it’s the manager, it’s the happy clappers on social media.’

Maybe it’s the miserable bar stewards that haven’t one good word to say about the club they say they support.

Ok from the Gay capital of Europe.

People here were not happy with Tatchell and his continued outing’ of gay men who were still in the closet. It was and still is considered cruel, and anyone could see it was just that.

[Lord Kitchener]

I’ve used photoshop many times in the past, and those pics would have taken some doing if fake. Add to that the players would know and that would make them suspicious.

I had thought about it, then thought better of it.

All these new signings are having their photos taken at a great looking Glanford Park. On what looks like a pristine pitch and on the seats that look much cleaner than previous seasons.

I sincerely believe we will be playing there this coming season.

I’m a little out of the loop here. So forgive me if I’m asking questions that have been answered already.

But I have been looking on the ows and cannot find any mention of playing anywhere other than Glanford Park.

So please indulge me here. Where is the announcement, and are we certain that it is official?

[Lord Kitchener]

Yeah alright. I’m also trying to say that even the admin / moddies probably don’t know either. It’s way too tricky these days…

[Lord Kitchener]

I have run forums in the past, none that I would care to name, we all have a past. I used to identify sock puppet accounts using IP addresses, but after a while I had to resort to looking at typos, and when this got sussed, I had to heavy moderate all new accounts.

People were using tor proxy to throw us off the IP addresses, they got proof readers to sort out typos, and then they got their friends to join and post on their behalf.

What I’m saying is that it can’t be obvious that someone connected to the Swanns is posting here. But then again we can’t be certain that they are not.

[Lord Kitchener]

Wrong, we have enough to argue about.

[Lord Kitchener]

It is time that we all started to ignore Swann junior. He is trying to live rent free in our heads.

[Lord Kitchener]

The club statement iterated that they (we) hold the lease on Glanford Park, and that the ground is locked and patrolled to keep criminals out.

Until it is proven otherwise, totally proven, I’m sticking with the official narrative. We will be playing our home games at Glanford Park next season.

BREXIT was a good idea, unfortunately the parliamentarians never wanted it. Camoron was convinced we would vote remain in a referendum, May believed that with the help of that little turd ‘speaker of the house’ to help her, she could kick the can so far down the road it would never be found. Then we had Boris, who I have got some sympathy for, as COVID was something no politician had any training for. But regardless of his attitude or his desires, he was stupid and useless. What came after Boris was one silly cow and another rich bastard who knows nothing about the struggles of the ordinary working class people.

BREXIT hasn’t been allowed to succeed, because NONE OF THE POLITICIANS WANT IT TO…

[Lord Kitchener]

I’m sure we all know what Max Bellend can go and do. And from a bloody great height too!
