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.

Swann at his best.

When commenting about Mark Lillis, what input is he allowed ?
Cameron Wilson, Tom Pugh, Dan Gallimore are all good enough. Mr Cox says Scrimshaw is a willing runner, why not give one of our own ‘willing runners’ the chance. Still sticking to the format of selecting the same failures who aren’t interested and putting them in a formation for targeting that does not work.
Recruitment season on season a joke, but they know that. Mr Vose was the 1st example.

False dawn, but you knew that.

They have no interest in the fans. The comment made from club leadership at the 1st Swann Club Forum said it all.
All they wanted was people to turn up, have a pie and a pint be entertained by the football on offer and then go home ! And at any future forums any suggestions were rejected – and accompanied with ‘We know what we are doing, leave it to us’ !!
To all going to Harrogate have a great day and they (Harrogate) will be very pleased to see you.

While in the job he gets all the flak. Sympathy for him ? Not a jot.
Solely down to him where we are.

Never understand why we are developing young players from other clubs who are certainly not an improvement on our young players.
And to hear that Scrimshaw is a ‘Willing Runner’ – what an accolade !
We already had them here – players who needed that chance to develop instead we drop them and loan some out. But par for the course, our players dropped latest managerial signings selected. And of course this policy has yielded fine results – JOINT BOTTOM !!
The last 4 years recruitment has been abysmal, the club has had ITS money wasted and no say in the matter. At this point in time who has been recruited ‘ the rough diamonds to be polished ‘ that we will sell on ? No one.
And the fans are ignored again and again !!

But what has Peter Swann said ?

Regarding ‘silly money’ comment.
The majority of what has been spent has gone on mediocrity – and is not silly more like stupid. Over the seasons many have commented on the recruitment policy, been told there will be no changes in it so one assumes where we are now was the intention all along.
Oh for a recording of all the Swann Forums when certain comments were made. What next I wonder ??
1 user thanked author for this post.
Well now joint bottom and the only person responsible is Mr Peter Swann.
Arrived 8 years ago, held fans forums on his terms as it was HIS club and let every one know it. Made statements in answer to questions from the tolerated. Which many will remember.
Adopted a recruitment policy that would appear to have have wasted lots of money. And who carried the can the club !
Attendances will continue to fall, perhaps someone at the club will say that is the aim. Because no one knows the aim.

My wife wants to know why you rarely hear the voice of a Male commentator !!

Only 1 person can make that decision and sadly a change of plan other than targetting is not forthcoming.

Reading peoples comments about players sums up the off field leadership.
All you hear in post match interviews is “We knew what they were going to do” why ??
Do what we are going to do for the 90 and until that changes in and around the bottom 4 is the best you can expect.3 users thanked author for this post.
Said before those that want to go – then you go. Those like me who don’t does not mean we do not support the club.
But I am not putting another penny into wherever it goes !!
I have no trust in the leadership, we are being laughed at.4 users thanked author for this post.
I am not envious of Grimsby Town. John McAtee – perhaps one day we will find out what went on.
I am appalled at what has happened since 2013 at Scunthorpe United. How people with a plan were shown to be actually devoid of one. Then to maintain what someone called a gamble that didn’t quite work out !! Actually showed what poor gamblers they [ THE CLUB] were and then we got the news that ‘THE’ Club had run up debts of over £11 million pounds.
That recruitment over last 5 years is akin to the tactics of ‘KERPLUNK’ !!

Re: relegation this season: The jury is out as it is a little too early to call it. That said, the signs are not good, and we seem to be going backwards both on and off the pitch.
Swann and co. have a lot to answer for.
Well answers you will not get. There is only one hope.
But just what are Lillis, Musslewhite & McMahon allowed to do !!
If it is like last season not much.
