Spot on we need our voices to be heard. We must protest and now it’s no good going down without a fight

Yes, you’re right Darlo1, however there are still numpties around here that make out it’s no different from when he had a previous Chairman (Chairman not despotic owner), who had the reputation of overseeing one of the best run clubs in the country. ‘Better the devil you know’ my backside! Never was a phrase so inappropriately utilised.

Regardless of whatever someone says, especially someone know to be dishonest, whatever their actions result in at the end is what they intended all along. Swann’s only care was separating the club from the stadium and land that it owned and getting his hands on that. The land will make him money and the club costs money. If the club is put into administration or sold for a token amount to someone who detests this kind of thing happening to football clubs, their fans and their communities, one thing seems certain and that is he is keeping the stadium and land. If someone buys it now as a lover of football but with enough money to keep the club afloat, stabalize, try and invest in the club to get it moving back up the pyramid and find a new ground then I very much doubt that they being businessmen themselves would want Swann getting another penny over a token pound purchase, they would rather the money go into the club as it’s going to need plenty, especially if a new stadium is going to be needed in a few years. Presumably for a period of time it would negotiable to lease the ground until a new site is sorted and built. He claims the club is up for sale and he’s looking for buyers but how would anyone make contact anyway?

I completely agree with you pal, I have stated many times. and even a couple of weeks ago on here, but there waw zero responce from anyone, although I am 81, and live in Barton, I would only be too pleased to attend any protest meeting, but whilst there are 2,500 still turning up at GP to watch the rubbish, and 200 still going long distances to away games, there does not appear to be any interest in turning out to protest against that evil guy that has driven our club into the present no hope situation. Just think, only 6 wins in the past 70 games, 1 away win in the past 40 matches, and one point from the last seven games, but the 2,500 fans just boo the team off at half and full time and go home sick as parrots, but then check their fixture lists to see when the next game is.
There wasn’t even any protest when Swann gave the clubs stadium, car parks and training ground land over to his own company so I cannotI really cannot see any pending protest happening, yes when he stole the assets some of us have never set foot into GP ever since, Swann will win and end up with his aim of having the land package to sell to building contractors.

Doesn’t bear thinking about if that’s his ultimate aim. But he does now seem to hold all the aces in his hand.

I’ve been watching that Wrexham docuseries on Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcelhenney taking over there. One of the latest episodes has a whole bit on a previous owner who was a disbarred lawyer due to mortgage fraud who put a puppet in, took over the club and transferred out the stadium and land into another company then racked up debts on the club to try and put it into administration. I sincerely hope that I am wrong but it was the exact modus operandi that seems to be happening here. I think all fans should watch that episode. Thankfully their fans managed to gather together and saw him off but it was eerily similar to what is happening. He has played it very cleverly by running up debts that he incurred then transferring the assets to himself essentially to cover his own debts. Those with the least amount of scruples tend to be the most devious. Don’t let him demoralise you though as there are people from afar who love football and can’t stand the way you are being treated as fans and will be considering ways to protect the proud club for the fans, the community and the town.

BS I am one of the 2,000 that still attend to support our team with the hope that miracles can happen and we get enough points to stave off another relegation. I detest Billy liar with a passion and would support any protest against him. Please someone come forward and save us from this joke. 5 generations of my family have supported the Iron and I really hope we still have a team for any future generations to experience the highs and lows of being a supporter of the once mighty iron.

Don’t believe everything you read and hear about the fate of our club, that includes on here as well as the club website.

Latest statement from Lee Turnbull states that administration is not an option and Mr Swann will continue to support the club until new owners are found.
Turnbull is only parroting what Swann has told him and we all know Swannster can’t even lie straight in bed. If administration makes the takeover process easier, he’ll go down that route in a bid to recoup some money and plus we have to pay the lying arse hole rent due to coolsilk owing the ground.
The brass neck Swann has on him, I wouldn’t put anything past him.

There’s lots of libel on here too.

Afaik you can declare yourself bankrupt and the company would go to the official receiver. Trouble with that is he would lose all his other businesses and be banned from starting any other businesses for a number of years. No chance whatsoever of Swann doing that. It is only The Iron that he is prepared to send down the river. He is a truly vile specimen, even fans of other clubs hate his guts now…

Topics: 80We had someone who was willing to throw money at it and look at us now with him. If the London lot get it, we might have the same situation down the line, and their property interest may be more of a worry for Glanford Park than the fears with Swann.
