But when Swanny has put money where is mouth is it incurs debt
Awaywego, there is a difference between putting money in the club and then choosing to run it like a top end league 1/bottom end championship club and spending more than a 100% of what the clubs revenue is.
I think we can agree, that’s just pure negligence.
If Swann had sensibly and strategically put money into the club, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
It’s ok now Swann refusing to put money in the club because he’s supposedly safeguarding the club, but, it’s too late as the damage has already been done.
This is the time now when we do really, really need investment and he’s letting us all down.
Wouldn’t you agree, awaywego ?

Green has done what he’s done at RB and Rowe the same at DCM but yesterday showed, against a good team at this level who know what they’re doing, the pair of them get dragged all over the place as they don’t know those given positions.
Time we go back now to play players where they’re more comfortable.
I still don’t understand no Beestin yesterday and no Jarvis, he’s the only striker we have who’s capable of holding the ball up.
If this Hill’s way of further nudging Swann to drive home we need players, he needs to be careful as the games are running out.

I suspect Hill may have had certain assurances before coming here with the promise of getting players in in Jan. All we’ve done is flog Loft with no replacement and signed a kid with no experience as a striking option.
You can tell Hill’s becoming frustrated.

Davis is utter tripe, never been any good since he’s been here.
Onaraise coming back will make a huge difference.
Do you think it’s time now to play Kenyon in front of the back four, put Millen back at RB and play Beestin in CM in place of pugh.
Still doesn’t sort out the problems upfront but it would make us better. I haven’t questioned Hill since been here but if Beestin is fit enough for the bench, he really should be starting.
I don’t rate Jarvis but with having no target man type striker at the club, you would have thought he should have started with Burns or Bunn. I found that a little odd.

You can tell Hill is losing the will now. Hill is even saying himself the players simply aren’t good enough. Hill has done well to get what he’s gotten out of them but as Hill and we all say, they just aren’t good enough.
They seriously need help in terms of recruitment. Hill always seemed bullish and always said he would get what he could out of them until January so we could sign players and push on.
Swann had clearly given him assurances as to players coming in because there’s no way he would come here just to limp over the line in last place miles off the pace.
Swann seriously needs to get his arse in gear…he could quite easily pay Turan off for instance, get him off the books and get a player in on a free transfer, he really needs to start spending some money.
If Swann let’s the club go to shit without even a fight, he needs to be absolutely ashamed of himself.
This is complete shit by him.

Simon Elliott has said Sam Burns is not loft ‘s replacement and there are looking at other targets
Told you !
We were in for him before the uncertainty over letting Loft go. I suspect we’ll have somebody in before weekend.

I do hope you are correct but I fear you are not
Don’t allow Alcazar to wear you down ! lol
This is what reported Charlie Wilson posted earlier on Twitter.
“Scunthorpe United are looking to bring in at least three loan players – Sam Burns likely being the first.”
“They also hope a few targets will find ways to become free agents, allowed to leave their contracts to sign for Iron on a free.”
Going by that, another 3 or 4 are due to come in.

This young lad that has come in isn’t the striker that’s supposed to replace Loft. According to what I’ve seen online we got in touch with Blackburn about Burns a little over a week ago and it was only 3 or 4 days ago since Swann commented about Loft staying.
Swann replied “we will only let Ryan go when we find a suitable replacement” so if we were so unsure about letting him go before finding someone else, I highly doubt the replacement is Burns.
I suspect we have another striker on the backburner who will be coming in, most likely before the weekend.

I checked Blackburn u23’s today to see if Burns played and he wasn’t even on the subs bench so appears he’s already on his way down here.

Hill to get what he’s done of what he’s got is a minor miracle in it’s self but improvement from Hill only goes so far.
End of the day if the players are not good enough to produce in the final 3rd, no amount of Hill polishing will change that.
I think we’re all of the agreement we need 2 new strikers, A more creative CM and probably another CB.
Until we get them, I fear for us. Especially the two strikers.

Yes but wouldn’t here. Has Swannster apologised for any mistakes he’s made ?
Let’s face it, he’s not just made one or two, he’s made a catalogue of them.
Hell would freeze over first !

Unlike you, even though we “fans” fear the worst we actually choose to think we may actually stay up.
I have never ever come across such a negative fan/person in my life.

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 !

Need a few strikers and a more creative CM. We may just have a chance then. Beestin would probably come in for Hackney because I can’t see Hill dropping Pugh.
Pugh’s not the greatest player in the world but covers a lot of ground and get’s the tackles in and Hippo’s been in such good form.
I don’t like Davis at the back. I can’t wait for Onariase to come back in. I may be being a bit harsh as he’s been out for 5/6 weeks but I just don’t rate him at all.
