Surely you’re not suggesting our beloved owners made yet another wrong decision?

“Lesson for any chairman there to avoid an embargo by any means possible!”
It was possible by paying off the loan. Our chairman promised to do that ‘if necessary’ so he clearly thought that retaining league status wasn’t ‘necessary’. In the minority I would suggest, have any lessons been learnt by the ex-C?
Makes me concerned about the other promises – “Leave the Club in a better position than when I arrived” and “The ground will be returned to the Club”8 users thanked author for this post.
Given the rather prickly nature of the current regime you have to be careful what you say……
But, the loan issue is just one of a catalogue of issues that revolve around what has been said, as opposed to what has actually been subsequently done.
So I won’t call Swann a liar, because that would be grossly unfair, impugn his magnificent reputation as a shrewd businessman of high repute and also his general standing as a fabulous all round guy.
What I would say however is that what’s historically been said as opposed to what’s actually been done seems to have nothing more than a passing (and very casual) acquaintance with the truth.

Embargo or no embargo, the way that Swann has run our club over his time as Chairman, only possibly had one way of ending.
We now all await his shouts of “THE CLUB WILL BE IN A BETTER POSITION WHEN I LEAVE THAN IT WAS WHEN I TOOK OVER”,
A strong lower league team with a squad containing some good payers——now a non-league team without any decent players.
A team which had a small debt, but owned all it own assets, ground, land etc——now £14 million of debt ran up, and all its assets ransferred over to Swanns company, I assum he will hand over a scoreboard at the railway end.
A steady weekly fan base of about 4,600 fans—-now lucky to get 2,100 including away fans.
A directors box containing some dedicated directors and the Chairman—–now just a few family members, a Scunthorpe fan rep but no Chairman bothering his arse to turn up, but tells fans to.
A run down delapidated ground that is a disgrace the the football league, ho sorry to non-league, I was forgetting we are supposed to be in the Championship playing in a New Stadium, or at the very least in a fully refurbish GP, but the only thing that has changed is the ground name.
Players playing every week and giving their all——half a dozen youth inexperienced youth players giving their best and a few going through the motions, and now we learn that players making it known that they do not wish to be selected in case they get injured, also about six players constantly injured or not good enough to even make our pathetic team.
SO WE AWAIT FOR THE BIG FELLOWES STATEMENT TO COME TRUE, OR ANY SMALL PART OF IT, THAT IS ENOUGH FROM ME AFTER 72 YEARS, SO GOOD LUCK LADS, AND ALL THE VERY BEST!!!!!!!

Swann and ‘the truth’ in the same sentence huh? However, I do like a bit of irony.
But I will make a point, as I have absolutely sweet fuck all, and it would be a waste of time suing me. Swann and his gaggle have rinsed our football club and walked it dry. We were not worth much to begin with.
Now we are worth less than nothing. No ground of our own, crap team playing crap football, with a bunch of cowardly stewards who prefer to kick our youngsters out, but rarely if ever deal with away fans.
UTI – Down with the Swanns….
