The useless bastard needs to sell up and never go near a football club again.
What he’s put together at this club over the course of his time here is nothing short of a disgrace.
He promised we would no go down this year at the fans forum despite supporters concerns that the squad was clearly not good enough: LIAR.

What did Mike White say? Couldn’t bare to watch or listen to it. 72 years of history ruined by one man in 9 years. The worst thing is this was completely avoidable. What did the powers of be think would happen consistently getting rid of our best players and recruiting ones of a substandard quality. If he was in that much financial trouble why has he waited until now to step down and make the effort to find a suitable buyer it should have happened before it came to this.

Do you know how much we’re hurting Mr Swann? Don’t bother answering, it was rhetorical. NO YOU DON’T.

The real issue is he doesn’t care. Never has.

Analysis
BBC Radio Humberside’s Mike White
It’s a sad, miserable, heart-breaking day for Scunthorpe United.
A club with a storied history that can list legendary England internationals like Ray Clemence and Kevin Keegan among its most notable former players, in addition to club icons such as Jack Brownsword and Barrie Thomas, and even dual-sport star Ian Botham.
In recent times, the Iron punched above their weight in the Championship in the mid-to-late 2000s and flirted with it again under the management of Graham Alexander. Many fans believe his 2018 sacking was the start of the decline that’s brought them to this point.
Recruitment has been questioned in the past few years too, with many fans suggesting now-former chairman (but still club owner for the time being) Peter Swann had too much input, something he has refuted on several occasions.
Whilst some fans are angered by the current state of the club and this situation, many almost seem numb to it now and were resigned to their fate a long time before the dreaded (R) was placed next to their name on the league table.
And despite the consistent positivity from manager Keith Hill about the future of the club, I’m not sure the majority of Iron supporters share that sentiment as they’ve seen that the National League can quite easily turn into a giant abyss that has swallowed up clubs without a hint or whisper of a return to the Football League.
Maybe recent talk and suggestion of a takeover could provide the required impetus needed to at least provide the right resources to Hill and his team – and breathe new life back into a club in desperate need of it – but that will have to wait for another day.
