    It’s okay, Bucks has written an open letter.

    Things should get moving soon.

    You’ll need a couple of pricks.

    The good news is they’re both at the club now!

    My dislike of NUFC is well documented. And I think the FA has dropped a major bollock by sanctioning the takeover.

    But it has created a buzz around the region and a feel good factor despite there being no guarantee of success.

    Replica shirt sale are suddenly through the roof. Ironically via Ashley’s Sports Direct!

    Oh for a similar feeling about Scunthorpe United.

    Cox & Lillis sacked Monday morning. McMahon put in as caretaker until Christmas.

    Nowt changes and Swann has two contracts to pay off, so less money.

    A lose-lose situation!

    Take a minute or two to think about the irony of that comment!

    I was in the home side with two (neutral) mates, as I couldn’t get a ticket from SUFC.

    Have to admit to “doing a Bartonscorpion” and leaving when the penalty went in.

    Only the second time in my life I’ve done it. And the other time was a car parking issue!

    We’re rubbish. That’s football, deal with it.

    Isn’t that the job of the chairman and his team? To deal with it!

    Pushing the blame onto us fans, just like your dad/gaffer.

    Hope you’ve sent at least one copy to the club and the chairman Bucks!

    I’d hate to think your epistle is for our eyes only.

    After all Peter reads and replies to every email and letter personally, doesn’t he Alcy?

    Well what a waste of half a tank of petrol and eight hours of my life that was!

    At least the Iron fans turned up which is more than the team did.

    Powder puff defending (never seen a team have as many free headers against us). Zero creativity. No pace. Nothing!

    Completely pathetic, and Harrogate could fill their boots. Surprised it wasn’t 10-1.

    Can’t see any way back from here. We’re dead in the water unless drastic (and I mean drastic) measures are taken.

    Car, football club, house.

    If no one knows you want to sell your home then everyone will just walk past it.

    But as soon as the for sale boards go up!

    Unless of course you just sit around waiting for someone to ring the doorbell and ask you “do you want to sell your house”.

    That doesn’t answer the question.
    Give me a who?

    So you put your car up for sale on autotrader knowing exactly who’s going to buy it do you?

    As MK says, we didn’t know Swann was lurking in the reed-beds until Wharton decided to call it a day.

    Hounded out?

    You mean the club actually takes notice of what the fans on the terraces think?

    Roll on Saturday!

    I’m not the one lambasting the owner about anything and everything.

    I’m not the one advocating change every 5 minutes whether that be owner, manager or players.

    Really? You bloody well should be!

    What are you hoping to achieve?

    Getting the chairman to stop being denialist and admit that the club has serious problems.

    Who are you wanting Swann to sell the club to?

    Not Saudi Arabians! 😂

    Cox signed KDT after a trial.

    Was he found guilty of impersonating a footballer?

    Or in the words of Danny Kaye…

    “There once was an ugly duckling
    With feathers all stubby and brown
    And the other birds in so many words said,

    Get out, get out of town!

    Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out of town!”

    Swann has been interviewed twice in last 2 days saying he’d happily sell up if someone WITH money actually enquires.

    He might as well say he’ll jump into the Tardis, go back to 1963 and return with Barrie Thomas.

    We know neither will happen.

    In the meantime the club from the chairman down to the youth team coaches continue to plod along the same pathway. Having seemingly learnt nothing from previous mistakes.

    Something needs to change.
