Herd instinct.
Most blokes would never use such language in a one to one situation. But put them in with a dozen or more like-minded souls who have had a few lagers pre-match, and they turn into Jim Davison!
Terrible thing drink!

They look to be wearing the shirt with pride.
High praise indeed given how bloody awful it is!

This chairman promised much from a new stadium to a revamped stadium to the hope of championship football but none of this has materialised in 8 years of his stewardship
This ^^^^
It’s the PR that has been the problem. I don’t recall any other chairman since we entered the league who “promised” as much as Mr Swann, yet delivered so little. Perhaps if the new/refurbished stadia and the Championship/exciting attacking football promises hadn’t been made then fans would look upon his tenure more favourably.
However, as numerous posts outline, there’s been no improvements made over that time and we are certainly in a worse position now than when he took over.
Of course we have had disastrous seasons in the past but we have always bounced back. This decline has been long and protracted both on and on the pitch.
Trust in the ownership is at all time low, then the club puts out a statement effectively blaming Covid and the fans themselves, instead of admitting responsibility.
I just can’t see things getting any better whilst the present club structure remains in place.

But I bet his favourite phrase is “yes boss!”

He’ll be there tomorrow. Chanting “Fans out! Give us our empty stadium back!”

customers who support when it suits.
So that includes the 860 who were at Tuesday night’s game does it?
I’d say they were the real supporters, not “fickle customers”.
The fact that these dyed in the wool Iron fans decided it was time to chant “we want our club back!” would suggest the complete opposite to what you are saying.

the brain dead decided the best way to ‘support’ them was to chant about the Swanns.
Obviously not “brain dead” as you put it.
Clearly quite astute, as they can work out who is responsible for the mess we’re in!
What’s the alternative? Go on TripAdvisor and give the club a one star rating? Write a “Dear Swann” letter? Lay down on Brownsword Way so the team bus can’t get in?
C’mon UTI99, let’s hear your suggestions.

To summarise. I have lost count of how many managers have been fired in the last fifteen years.
Fifteen years ago (2006/07) we were champions of L1.
Ten years ago we had only just lost our Championship status.
It’s only in the last eight years that the hiring and firing of both managers and players has been a problem.
Not sure what that coincides with but I’m sure someone can point it out.

Too many idiots thinking they know how to run a football club around.
And we know who one is!
Quite frankly you cannot polish a turd Peter.
Difficult to spot a single turd in a heap of shit!

Who’s going to want to replace him under the present regime?
We need a strong character with a reputation for getting a squad fired up and competing.
a) It there anyone with those credentials available.
b) How long would he last before he ruffled a few of those white feathers?

There’s plenty of things to complain about, but our kids (plus Onariase and Davis) losing to Man City’s isn’t one.
I trust all of those having a moan about the score went tonight?

When we went to Wimbledon pre-season we not only scored two goals but also saw out the game.
The only conclusion I can come up with is that for league games Cox has put the fear of losing into the squad.
It’s Wilcox time once more, only with worse players.
Will we ever see attacking football again?

972 in the Mickey mouse cup would be a good crowd.
I thought PL U21s were brought into the competition to boost gates!

Yes a new owner will make our players turn into Messi, Ronaldo etc.
Cloud cuckoo land.
It might turn our supporters into the Kop or the Stretford End!

But they’re just a Mickey Mouse club fresh out of non-league!
