    As usual the supporters have to sit and wait to what happens.

    Should the club be fortunate and people take it over knowing all the issues the first thing is start by being honest. The old saying ” If at 1st we do deceive…….” is what causes issues. Some sit and wait to expose something – put it out there.

    Tyler Sellars-Fleming signed for Hull. Supposedly we had a compensation clause should this happen. Asked the question and no answer given, I didn’t want to know the amount but why seemingly ignore it. Foster – what clauses did we have with him. This secrecy does raise suspicions, because the supporters have been forced to question everything.

    Can the club be turned round ? I think yes, it will not be easy or quick but we can do it, the fans just want to be involved again and not treated as ‘mushrooms’ .

    Good choice by Gainsborough. Young squad so will bring stability and structure which I am told is missing. Got several former Scunthorpe United players to work with several who he already knows.

    Suddenly the person who has led the club into the waste lands seemingly has some fans.

    Radio Humberside should be renamed Radio Hull.

    Sadly due to the hierarchy at the BBC they have decimated local radio. What has been happening has been going on for years so don’t blame the presenters as they have a format to follow. If they don’t contracts do not get renewed.
    Radio Dumberside?

    If the club reverts back to Peter Swann then find somewhere else to go on a saturday – it is as simple as that !

    Peter Swann should donate the ground to the Iron Trust.

    The least he should do.

    Whatever is happening at the moment their is only one person responsible – Mr Peter Swann !

    They have a very dangerous midfielder – Sam Osborne. We need to keep focused and take nothing for granted – look at Alfreton away last night 0-0.

    I am sure the players and Jimmy D will be well aware.

    Very sorry to have read this, my condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

    Ian wore the Iron shirt with pride and you could never question his commitment and he was missed when he eventually moved on.
    RIP ‘Hammo’.

    Unemployment may have helped refocus Richie. With Barrows, he will be benefitting from regular games.

    Best wishes to the team and all the staff tonight. Maintaining the momentum means all sections can benefit with revenue increasing.

    Is at all clubs are in the one hat or is it at this point on a regional basis ?

    Cribbs FC are lurking.

    This is one of the EGO’s final claim to fame – Peter Swann got us to our lowest level of entry to the FA CUP, must be a proud day for him !!!

    If Mr Cox on not worth it anyway.

    At the last home game going about bringing on a sub – how inspiring were his subs ! He then mentioned giving ‘Pughey’ some game time to get him match fit ! Pity he never bothered when he was manager !

    We have a Barrister or 2 on the Board now. Would I ever believe Mr Swann – NO. If someone with a legal eye has seen something that is concerning then that needs resolving. So until it is resolved we sit and wait.

    Way back in an interview on Radio Humberside the EGO said something quite close to “We gambled, we gave it a go and failed so we need to balance the books”.

    WE did nothing, WE had no say in the lunacy over the last 5 years. One person had control and that was the EGO !!! He gambled everything the club had and the club could not stop him because he made ALL the decisions – a good example was a 2year contract extension to Jordan Hallam who was rarely fit.

    He wasted the money and he should have carried the loss not the club.

    The issue here is over the tenure of The EGO the Supporters were told mistruths on many, many occasions.

    After 10 years of it trust will not return automatically, it will take time. Perhaps Mr Hilton is the messiah, only time will tell.

    Cheers Matt and thank you to Mr Hilton for doing this.

    Hope he starts to realise the fans are not the enemy, although they want is to be involved. Added to that many have good ideas and are not looking for reward. Survival and future success would be reward enough.

    Didn’t we release him when he wouldn’t sign a new contract.

    No – he was offered a contract and he opted to stay away.

    On 23rd June the club stated in one of their Player Update Statements that we “Have retained our compensation rights”. These rights were brought in by the EFL to stop bigger clubs basically stealing developed talent.

    Joey Dawson was going to sign but he felt someone was using him in a power battle so he changed his mind – and it was his choice !

    After that despite someone hinting he would sign he had said he would not.
