Actually engage with the supporters would be a giant leap for The Iron.

Always did his best, threw himself at every thing. He supported Bottesford Town in his later years, bumped into him many times, a very genuine person RIP Jim Lavery.
Maguire must be despised in some quarters but football needs him.
Good, we need the Kierans of this world. They can investigate extrapolate and expose.

NLN would not be possible if we were in Administration as it usually means you are insolvent and they will not allow any club in their league if they are.
So after that if no sale can or won’t be agreed then after that I think the only option would be Liquidation, although perhaps someone may actually know precisely the course of action.
Don’t worry about any other club other than SCUNTHORPE UNITED.
If they enter Administration extinction really is around the corner.

To any involved the fans will support them.
Just like the gates and catering, fans will help – just give them the chance. Not saying it will be easy but it can be achieved.

If The EGO does read these posts he should remember the CLUB TRUSTED HIM TO CARE FOR IT.

He has almost done for us if he remains in control for another month.
If he went for Administration then the points deduction will also ensure relegation to NLN.
He then has the ultimate weapon – Liquidation ! But not sure how he would win or lose going down that path.Can’t afford Police or stewards.
Until you have it confirmed by anyone other than The EGO believe nothing !!

Some more from the U18’s will join the squad as Lavery & Nthle are out of contract I think in January.
Wage bill be trimmed that bit more.
Bit of a PR disaster this?
All controlled by the EGO. Good manners would surely lead to a JOINT STATEMENT. But not with the EGO – always trying to control the situation. Stopped believing one word or trusting him since 2015 !

Not sure we are in as precarious a position as wanted at this point only 5pts to 5th bottom and 23 games to go. A turnround is possible. The EGO doesn’t want new owners to succeed because it confirms his failure and he won’t have that.
Could be proved wrong and I sincerely wish the consortium can gain control quickly.
Until due diligence has been conducted and completed you cannot agree a price.
You need to find out all the ‘hidden’ liabilities first. Good luck to Simon, Ian and associates.
Not what I wanted from the new owners, maybe the old chestnut “His contract was up in the summer better to get abit of money now than nothing later”

No announcement as to the state of the deal so as far as we know Peter Swann is still the owner. What concerns me is the word ‘BENEFICIAL’ from Mr Turnbull but zero explanation as to why. Very poor.Best wishes to him. Has the right attitude and regular games at that level will be good for him.

Been used more as a left winger from what I have been told. People very impressed with his attitude and ability. Bish will have been a good influence.

The one manager whose departure was wholly indefensible.
As usual NDA’s would be the order of the day, so only the EGO could say the full story.
The EGO I have no time for, he is solely responsible for where we are and the state we are in. But the bits I know and saw indicated things would end quickly.
The problem we have had is the person in charge would have messed up a subbuteo team.
Don’t understand why supporters on Twitter get so irate about not being updated on a potential takeover every few weeks and then turn their ire towards Turnbull and Wright. Most of the time nothing will be happening and anything that does will be commercially sensitive, more so when Swann is involved.
Unfortunately we probably won’t hear anything until a deal is done, or collapsed.
They are there to take the flak and offer little. They seem to act as though on NDA’s.
Anything granted by The EGO is a ‘mickey take’.
Just sets up someone else to get the flak.

Kyle Wootton – had to go to upper National League to kick-start his career. Now doing very well at Stockport County.
Is it true Matthews changed his boots at half time because Brownsword kept catching him and kicking him into the stand?
Not sure on that but he did change wings and Bill Shankly did say on another occasion Jackie Brownsword was the best Left Back at that time.

Rumoured Jordan coming back, Carver recalled, budget tight so perhaps someone is being sold after wednesday.
Any money would help with invoices remember no more shirts for the shop.
You’re absolutely spot on with your comment Pat O’Cake. We’ve been to every forum when Swann attended and if ever anyone disagreed with him or asked him any questions which needed an honest answer his tone changed on a sixpence and he became agitated.
Certainly did, also thought the older the speaker the greater the sarcasm from Swann and Rodwell.
Lost count of the number of times the term ‘we are professionals in the entertainment industry’.

Why ? List of previous injuries says no. Did like the RB at South Shields though, problem could be on higher wage there.
Feel sorry for the children expecting their Scunthorpe United kits on Christmas day. The shop has always had plenty of stock at Christmas.If this is true and the shop isn’t being re-stocked by Swann it would be no surprise to me as it would just be a continuation of his total disregard for supporters. Its beginning to feel as if he actually hates our supporters due to us disagreeing with his disastrous tenure of our Club and to where we are now, as nothing is ever his fault.
Hearing the EGO didn’t like the latest items of criticism ! As they say truth hurts. But the next statement could be ‘The’ Statement from the EGO there again it could be a statement that is a precis of the EGO’s statement. But we all know it is everyone else who is at fault !!!

Death by a thousand cuts ! Now the club shop suffers, hope that those who will now be disappointed do not blame the shop staff.
Further disconnection with supporters that has been going on for almost 9 years now. Does appear latest criticisms have created a spiteful backlash. But not surprised – as they say ‘A wise person sometimes changes their mind. A FOOL never does’

I heard that too; Gotta feel for the staff. If I worked at Scunthorpe United right now I would be updating my CV and looking for a new job asap.
Some have and are. Team analyst already gone to Lincoln City.

The abuse directed at Nuttall reminds me of years gone past.
Brian Laws was abused by so- called fans earlier in his managerial career ( player manager at the time) at a game at Rochdale. Laws gave these yobs a taste of their own medicine and stood up to the abuse. These so called fans never forgot or moved on ( they continued their abuse of Laws even when the golden years were in full flow!) The old timers on here know who they are ,but their reply now would be “ don’t know what you’re talking about,guv.”We had that a few years ago. One cretin in the East Stand gave Hurst 90 minutes of hell every home game. Jim Goodwin tried to shut him down but he gradually wore Kevin down and we lost a good player for nothing – destroyed his form and we lost a good sale.
Sometimes players can have off games but they keep trying. I never boo players you gain nothing and cost the team in the long run.

Tragedy for him because he could be good. Sadly near enough same injury – hamstring that renders him crocked.
Chronic waste of money.
