    Can the club afford the redundancy pay ?

    They still haven’t got rid of KDT, have they ?

    Well having seen the team I am concerned.

    The changes indicate targeting. Why is Mr Cox unable to play the same squad 2 games running ?
    They players never have a chance. And after the tuesday comments re Hackney & Pugh I guess Tom Pugh is injured.

    I look forward to seeing the squad announced.
    I look forward to seeing the formation played.
    I do not look forward to the post match interview !

    Why would I proxy anyone ? Means I am endorsing whatever his plan is and as no one knows because as usual nothing is explained.

    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.

    ALCAZAR – he probably will.

    There is no point me going because I don’t trust him. I did – but no longer.

    The players are only doing what they are instructed to do !

    Certainly during a game I would never boo or join in a vocal demonstration. The time for that is the end but the main architect will be away from the frontline.

    If we had no chance then why didn’t Mr Cox give Jai Rowe an opportunity at CB ( Mr Cox thinks he will be a good CB !!).

    Rowe is a converted winger/wingback who was settling in at RB – now he doesn’t even get a chance yet many say Millen is not good enough.

    The squad on saturday will be interesting.

    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.

    Hurst signed some good players when he was here as was stated earlier but he chose to stand his ground when challenged by The Great Dictator, or as he is known round here The Great Dick. Lot of time for Hurst he was gradually turning us round and we were starting to become a good football side again until the axe came, I’m sure he will get Grimsby promoted and we are odds on for trading places come May.

    I think it was about who he was trying to sign and at what wage linked to medical.

    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.

    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.

    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 !!

    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 ??

    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.

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