He said he would have these meetings – he has. Didn’t say he would change did he ??
He has said the EFL loan would be repaid. But didn’t say what season, year or decade did he ? ?
He did say he would leave the club in a better state than when he arrived – He didn’t say when he would leave did he ??

Should relegation happen this season it will be for two reasons.
1/ The EGO
2/ The jealousy
Spite ?
That I think is the EGO – cannot admit he isn’t/wasn’t good enough. It isn’t about the money it was how the money was spent and wasted has to be the only explanation.

Can accept the ego bit with Cox not prepared to change his way of playing, but don’t understand the jealousy bit.
Not on about Cox and ego this is solely owned by the Chairman. At any forum meeting where people had ideas that could have helped he would not accept the idea with good grace. He stated that no matter what, someone will want something for it !! And he knew what was needed anyway !!
Jealous of what Mr J S Wharton had achieved over the years and wanted to be better -cost no problem !
Thing is he wasn’t better, he wasn’t even equal !!So here we are.

Good title for a book ” An ego that destroyed a football club ” .

Only necessary if you are going to let the Manager strengthen the team.
Does he want the team strengthening, that is the question.

Any chance the bad language can be curtailed – PLEASE.
It isn’t necessary.

The people responsible are the fans according to one person. Due to the fact they no longer support the club !
That right was removed over the last 8 years and it has finally come home to roost !

That is a comment/question you would never expect to be made about Scunthorpe United.
We used to have a scouting system in Ireland and Scotland they are also long gone. Change the ownership and the gate would be boosted by more than 1000 immediately.

Mr Swann is the club. He has to sanction the repayment.
Recruitment – Wonder Will is involved as confirmed in one of Simon’s tweet answers. So not good.

Only 10 !! – when was the last time there was so little interest by the travelling army. Times have been tough before but day by day optimism drains away even faster.
Who is at fault Mr Swann ?

Times have been bad before either club or town but an away bus usually made it.
Now that set of diehards have joined the ‘who cares’ group and another success for the chairman.
If you don’t believe it Mr Swann sit down and write down all your successes – it will not not long. This all revolves around YOUR attitude to supporters and you still have it.

Recent loanees over the last 2 seasons have been less than inspiring. I genuinely cannot see what the thinking behind them was. In particular – George Thomas from Leicester, has to been one of the worst.
The one person who deserves support/backing is Mr Keith Hill and he gets nothing. The club is still a mess, the communication to keep supporters informed is a disgrace – STILL.
With the glowing comment from Neil Cox about Scrimshaw still ringing in one’s shell likes ” He is a willing runner” !! Never understand why he was signed.
The keeper – that again was less than inspiring, obviously Mr Cox wanted Rory out, 1 game and Billson was missing for over 4 months !
Summed up – FARCE but it is what we became used to.

What ever demo you do it will mean absolutely nothing to him !!
Many years ago thousands stopped attending after the chairman ordered the sale of Barry Thomas – they never returned to this day. Initially I thought demonstration would be short lived and having made their point they would return – they did not. This season after many seasons I called it a day and I it is easy to say I have no intention of returning based on recent statements by Mr Swann.
I don’t believe him, and that is 100% his fault.

Optimism is fading I fear – person responsible ? Without doubt Mr Swann.
We have the best manager for a long time and he at the moment is getting the poorest support. Whether that changes shortly we will see but again any PR seems difficult to motivate the supporters for long.
Why, because they have seen it before and heard it before !!

If THE club was asked if it would have paid the £200K p.a. salary of mr rodwell what would it have said ? The club was never asked – someone made that decision.
Was that salary part of the debt – the £11 million plus ?
It is like the ridiculous recruitment policy that has wasted millions and still is wasting money, why is the club saddled with a debt that the club had no say in !! The club would never have signed many of what arrived and departed, now would they ?

Well Mr Swann we all know you or others read these pages – previous threats of legal communication say that.
So here goes – check back on your previous Radio Humberside interviews and listen to what you promised regarding the EFL Loan and transfer dealings for the January window !!

Nice comment from Simon Elliott when some alluded to Burns being the replacement for Loft.
He isn’t ! So Keith has that one up his sleeve.

The gate was an improvement and of course as pointed out how many were on ‘ifollow’ – this a figure that is rarely mentioned.
And NO I was not there, I still don’t think ‘the light has been seen’ ‘that someone is a reformed character’ . Only 1 thing will correct that.

Thing is Swannster has said we’ll have to get by with this embargo. In my opinion he’s pretty much washed his hands of us, he may as well let somebody else in as chairman next season.
If Swann had any ambition left as chairman he would have cleared the embargo.
As a club we deserve better than what he’s offering up. I’d rather he admitted he’s done everything he can at the club, works hard to get interest “if there is any out there” and moves on.
Swann can give the ground back as well while he’s at it !
The Blackpool venture due to open this year according to an item in a national paper – Sands Venue to open fully this year. Wonder if this will release some attention or take even more !!
