    Swann apologies and the squad suddenly turn into footballers?

    Ain’t going to happen!

    That’s why I wrote “shuffle the pack” ‘tash!

    Couple of loans out, a couple in. Maybe find another Jem Karacan.

    He’ll be desperate for any positives. There are none to be had at present

    Indeed. As I said earlier, he’s playing for time.

    Keep stalling until the January transfer window when he can shuffle the pack to make it look like something is being done.

    Could have had a career in politics. Especially under the present shower!

    Last chance saloon has been open for months!

    As the OP says this should have been happening a year ago.

    The cynic in me asks “why now?” Is is because we have a home game this Saturday following on from a 6-1 away thrashing where grumblings were evident from the Iron faithful?

    Truly sorry or playing for time?

    Look for ANY changes in the next 14 days.

    You’re being unusually generous there Alcy.

    Didn’t he say something about a further update on Friday?

    I’m sure Fansy has another fable he can link to. One about leopards and spots maybe?

    “For me, I need to interact better, I am disappointed in my approach and the way it has been taken by the fans, but thought it was my responsibility to sort everything on my own.

    That will change and hopefully that can begin.”

    Hmmm!

    offer at least a little incentive to hand over your hard earned, you know like maybe winning more than 1 game in 24 attempts!

    A win that only came about because we were awarded a dubious penalty and the opposition managed zero shots on target!

    So really it’s worse than the stats suggest.

    Still not having it with the Cox comparison.

    If you’re going to compare Scunny with a National Team surely it has to be San Marino.

    But he could always get one of his companies to rename Wednesday “Tuesday” to fit in with his promises!

    I’d settle for a Cox side drawing after going a goal down.

    I’d also settle for drawing a home game after a 5-0 away victory.

    And I’d definitely settle for being three points ahead at the top of the table.

    All fast-fading dreams I’m afraid.

    They were top class and loud throughout! Something for their country to be proud of! Shows what happens when you live in a country which allows patriotism and doesn’t allow libtards to hate on their nation! I wish England fans would follow suit!

    Maybe we should boycott the crap served up at the SVS on a Saturday and go and watch the fantastic football on show at the training sessions instead?

    I put a moth-eaten old sweater on Vinted and had zero interest.

    I guessed that was because it was in a terrible state.

    My daughter put up a pair of old jeans that were ripped to shreds on both knees.

    She sold it in a few hours.

    And how many of those chairmen’s clubs had won only one of their last 24 games, including losing the last three by an aggregate of 2-13?

    This is not a normal “poor run of form” it’s a bloody disaster three years in the making.

    Nor is it 11 games into the season, it’s 57 league games in charge plus 8 cup competition matches that we’ve lost as well.

    I sincerely hope that he’s doing something behind the scenes now, because if he’s following a “let’s wait and see” policy he really is in cloud cuckoo land!

    And in the meantime we continue to get hammered every week. The attendances drop below 2,000 and we become detached at the bottom of the league.

    Because by the time of the shareholders meeting that’s where we’ll be!

    Action now, not words later.

    Swann has actually hired some very good managers, it’s just a shame they’ve been very good at clubs other than Scunthorpe United!

    (Alexander + Lucetti apart)

    It has nothing whatever to do with me and everything to do with MY club

    So have you sent a copy to the club/chairman?

    A one word answer is fine.

    The players are running around like headless chickens and cannot do the basics and I mean the real basics like defence, midfield and attack.

    That is down to the manager and coaches.

    That, and the players being crap!

    Is that the bloke who on the last podcast said we weren’t being hammered every week?

    Well I’d say 3-0, 4-1 & 6-1 were hammerings, wouldn’t you?

    If Bucks were to apologise to everyone individually it would take him ages.

    Hence the open letter.

    I fear drawing all of our remaining games and finishing on 42 pts won’t be enough!
