    And so he faces, his final curtain!!

    The fat lady is clearing her throat… the day some of us have scarcely dared dream about is coming…

    For some this has been the longest of long roads… but equally the most inevitable road in the history of the club…

    As crazy as it seems – the relegation party could be as special as previous promotion ones if it gets over the line in time…

    Dare to dream. It’s time to believe. Scunthorpe United FC will soon be on the way back!!

    If you know something, tell us.

    If not, then sod off.

    Well Mr Wonderful that photo is a welcome sight.

    A true gentleman and Scunthorpe United supporter Mr Wharton.

    Can’t recall our club ever being treated as it is now, or there being a division with the supporters as exists currently.

    Can’t recall the ground being robbed or carpark being built on.

    Can’t recall seeing supporters shackled or being gagged.

    Then Mr Wharton wasn’t a little, tardy, egotistical bully.

    Mr Wharton will be appalled at the toxic atmosphere surrounding our football club,I know he can’t turn back time but I’m sure he bitterly regrets selling the club to the current owner. What would Steve’s late father think of it all I dread to think, they are and were Scunthorpe United through and through, this guy is nothing like them in deed or spirit.

    This guy is a fly by night, a total loser who hasn’t a clue on how to run any football club never mind a league club!

    After listening to the podcast today Swann has proved himself what an utter loser he is. He said we are now sustainable and that’s what he wanted for our Club. So regardless of us losing our football league status he is happy about that, and he stated it makes us more attractive to investors. In my opinion he is totally dillusional and lacks enough knowledge on how to run a Sunday league club never mind an EFL Club. Several times when asked straightforward questions he didn’t know the answer and just waffled. This is why we are where we are, staring relegation in the face, because Swann is clueless and we need him gone otherwise our Club will be extinct if he stays.

    I’m assuming you’re talking about your own post? If so you’re correct.

    What was pointless III was you feeling the need to tell the opening poster to ‘sod off’ when you could have just ignored it if you didn’t like / agree with it. There was nothing harmless or offensive in the post that warranted the abuse. Hope that’s clear for you.

    What he failed to say was “sustainable” at what level. NLN looks a possibility I suppose.

    Nothing harmless or offensive? So what was in the post…

    It was a me me me post. He is making out that he knows something, but doesn’t doesn’t say what it is. A ppontless post.

    I read it as preempting today’s news.

    In which case they did know something!

    FAO Wonderful Wharton, thank you for your opening post. You clearly have some inside knowledge of club affairs, and perhaps more than you could let on in the post. I’m sure the majority on here appreciate you were merely dying to give long suffering Iron fans something to look forward to. I hope a bit of abuse won’t put you off any future teasers if you know something good is about to happen. There is a reason why ‘teaser campaigns’ are still widely used in marketing, and it’s not because they’re ‘pointless’. All the best. UTI

    In which case III should apologise, not holding my breath on that one.

    More importantly, is this a hint that Swanny’s going to be doing ‘My Way’ in the centre circle before he goes?

    “My way, or no way!”

    A phrase used by astute businessmen the world over.

    WW may, or may not, have known about today’s news.

    If he did know something, then why not tell us?

    What he posted was pointless. No info, no insight, nothing.

    I think some on here might be in for an even more disappointing Saturday than we usually have if you think he is just going to write off his wasted £15m and quietly ride off into the sunset.

    First time I have been looking forward to one of his statements since he announced the new stadium and imminent Championship football.

    So who now is going to put thousands in a week to keep us afloat ?
    Who’s going to pay the wages ?
    Not enough coming through the gate.

    Scrap those previous track suggestions for the protest. ‘There Are More Questions Than Answers’ is on the turntable
