…….Mr Swann said that we have a very good squad of players, and is hoping for supporters to turn up and watch them develop over the next three years……….
How do we develop !! Of the 21 contracted as of the 1st July we have 19 on 1 yr deals !!
As others say ‘Thank You JEM’ you told the truth to the fans much appreciated and so refreshing and yet he gets criticised ! Par for the course at this club.

Jem pinged a nerve there then ! Well done Jem. He hinted that several players were not interested on a regular basis. So why were they still in the squad ?
The item that shocked me was fans will be welcome back and hopefully cheer the players or boo if they so feel ! Perhaps any booing would be directed at the powers that be ! But that is unlikely they don’t make errors do they !
What about the player who left his match shirt in the dressing room and was needed at that time as a sub ? Yet was selected time and again, also did not read his pre-game coaching notes and again selected time and again. Any comment. But the one person who is trying make them act as professionals and earn their wages is the one got the blame !!

The issue is if Jem knew it why didn’t an ex-professional know it !!
Why did the manager continually select the same players that Jem is pointing at, why didn’t he drop the ego’s and give players who actually wanted to fight for the club a chance !
I will hope for the best.

What is the point of any statement from Mr Peter Swann – Would you believe them ?
Signings may surprise people but for another season damage has been done and trust at an all time low. Season ticket sales must be heading to one of the lowest levels for seasons and that again is one persons responsibility. But they don’t appear to care.

What is the point these days of any statement from Mr Swann !

Alex Kenyon has signed a 1 yr deal ! Notice a trend.
Already at the end of the 21/22 season there are almost 12 that will be considering their options. A situation of our making and like the our clueless recruitment plan over the previous 3 seasons will leave us in an even weaker situation.
Why consider this now, it shows we have no plan.

Yeah spot on f row crew, been a lifelong member several years and yes they do some great work supporting the fans voice and getting in the Prawns face. The more the merrier and if people believe things aren’t right at GP just don’t moan about it on here, join the trust and help them swell the membership which gives us all a greater voice when they meet the chairman and ” board ” to put relevant points to them regarding how the Iron is run.
He will take no notice, the simple reason being he says he is right !
He does watch these items so remember re-read anything you write to check what you have put in B&W and edit accordingly ! He likes using his solicitors so don’t give him the pleasure.

Could be a good recruit.
Biggest issue as always is communication at this club, but only one person responsible and cannot see any change.

We never get left behind. We operate in a whole new football world !!
Our system of recruitment has been an abject failure season on season.
Our season ending releases have systematically reduced the quality of the start point
when we actually start to recruit.It is a farce.
To sum up on the question.
No one knows because no one gets told anything. Said on numerous occasions supporters get talked at as opposed to engaged with. Perhaps the plan has worked perhaps it hasn’t.

Put the club up for sale Mr Chairman. If the novelty has worn off and this last 15 months must have been energy sapping then call it a day.

How not to do it ?

There is no point telling Swann or Cox to their face because they don’t listen.
With Kyle Wootton I called the decision to sell him stupid. I said why but even then Kyle was a better player than the 2 recent recruits Loft & Thuran. Certainly hope Notts County get back in the league.

You can build loyalty within a club and with those outside of the club.
Can that happen at Scunthorpe United ? You need to ask someone else, but for me no. You get there by engaging WITH the fans, not by talking AT them.

He replaced the role that Bish did. Morecambe declared as having the lowest playing budget in the league and they assembled a more than competitive squad.

That is me done. I will not be renewing.
The way we have treated players this season who happen to be some of those released has been a disgrace. I am not accepting it.

That list sums up our intention going forwards. After the announcement that we are reducing the budget and post match meanderings of the manager regarding player availability through a season.
We then are treated with the news we have offered Jordan Hallam a new deal, he is a good lad and I do feel sorry for him but in 2 seasons he has started 7 games !!
Might not know much of the thought processes of the mastermind opting for this path but what I do know is that I will not be following the pied piper. Enough is enough especially after the waste of home grown. Charlie Barks – I hope that comes and bites back very hard.
