I don’t read the TIMES. Perhaps Mr Swann could get the article reprinted and put on the clubs website.
He really hasn’t a clue about what made Scunthorpe United different. How do we know ? Simple – he kept up his ridiculous seasonal mass clear out and to compound the errors of previous seasons recruited poorer and poorer overall quality players.

Really feel for Rory, gets little protection game after game and rarely do I hear any compliment from the manager.
That is what is wrong.

The post match comments said a lot. More worried.

The gap has started.

From the Forest Green game onwards the approach has to be to WIN every game.
Even if there is the odd injury replacements must buy into a must win culture, do 1 game targeting then call it a day because that is negative.
Any statement post match where “we knew what they would do and what we had to do and didn’t” says time to resig.

Exactly DAZ.
It isn’t what is written it is the words that aren’t.

I’m not trying to defend him but if posters are going to quote him at least do it accurately. Taken from the BBC:
“I’m disappointed in my approach and the way it has been taken by the fans.”
The key thing for me there is ‘disappointed in my approach’.
Don’t believe one word of it. Still not accepting responsibility – in the line you use Deereyme66 the phrase “….the way it has been taken by the fans” says it all. Still the fans fault.
From his 1st fans forum he has created a wall between club and fans. And carried this on for 8yrs ! Suddenly in a heartbeat a total acceptance his fault because the fans didn’t get it !!
And it coincides with the culmination of several years of his recruitment policy delivering a BOTTOM of the table team.

Sick and tired of what appears to directed at me – that because I am staying away I am putting the club at risk.
To confirm my previous support in that part season I did not ask for any money back for the unused season ticket games – I donated it to the club.
Last season I renewed my season ticket with no guarantee of live football. I did watch a few of the games under the F.O.C ifollow system. I stopped because of the shockingly poor level of football due to poor managerial decision making and the game targeting that was so obvious.
This season was the end, I no longer trust the leadership. I am sick and tired of the board attitude to the fans, how they are tolerated. And still they admit nothing just blame everyone else.

But BRI you can look as much as you want but if he doesn’t want to sell he won’t.
And the word vanity does sum him up, he will not want someone else to succeed. If he did then the announcement would be made and the agents board would be at the front gate.
Seems no one from the Swann household could make it to Harrogate, today the minimum should have been a statement of apology – not going to happen is it.

To J. Charles – he doesn’t listen !
Fans comments/ideas mean nothing.

But ALCAZAR the players must be following his instructions – none get dropped for constantly following instructions do they.
Just like last season when the same failures got selected match after match, unless the regular BUPA clients were missing again.

Not reconsidering. Been to previous forums and heard the ‘smiling’ digs at older fans, probably now no longer with us. Perhaps the were rambling but they were entitled to comment and yet treated with disdain.
Mr Swann had a podcast and a humberside interview where he could have said something about these meetings and why he wanted to conduct them – but not a word ! The veiled accusation in both broadcasts that the stayaways are those causing the damage. Still will not own the situation where we have ended up with his leadership, his recruitment and the failed experiment that delivered it.
If the gates were double what they are he would consider it a victory no matter where we are in the league. And just to remind he has 91.5% of the shares, he likes to remind people.
Since 2013 he has blanked shareholders at every opportunity. At previous forums he ridicules fans genuine suggestions.
A few years ago he even wanted people to GIVE him their shares for virtually nothing !
Even in May of this year when the club lost its ground it was pointed out that his company held 91.5% of the shares in case people had forgotten the last time he reminded people.I will not be attending because I no longer have any trust in the leadership.

Just checking Mr Cox’s post Rotherham interview on Humberside.
More baffled than ever. Says Mr Hallam is a good finisher, says he had 2 chances and they were over the bar – Son not that good !!
These are Mr Cox’s comments about one of last loan signings.
“He understands how to win games” “Gets into the box and scores goals” “Great attitude, wants to win, aggressive in midfield and with running power” ! “A good passer of the ball” But after the Rotherham game said his sub did nothing, nothing changed !—let me introduce you to HAYDEN HACKNEY. Critical about Tom Pugh who ended up at left back !! Lets see who gets dropped from the squad on saturday.

Mr Swann only needs to look at 2 clubs for the answer.
Accrington Stanley – How to run a football club
Scunthorpe United – How NOT to run a football club.

But he hasn’t officially put the club up for sale and until he does I don’t believe him.
