Is this replacing Flag Day?
1 user thanked author for this post.
Ferrite asks a valid question – we can protest about the state of the club but that is rather a statement of the bleeding obvious.
Alcazar and a few others want the rich guy to walk away whatever the consequences.
Personally I would like the chairman to employ a competent football manager, give him a reasonable but not excessive League 2 budget and then let him get on with rebuilding a football team and complete backroom staff from scratch while he gets on with his apartments, racehorses and other businesses.

Aye, it’s called White Flag Day!

‘He needs to win back the trust of supporters, which does matter even for a small club.’
You’re confusing what you want him to do with what he actually thinks he needs to do, which I reckon are two different things and have been for years. Worth a try though

We’ve all wanted that from day one. Swann got rid of Turnbull “the only scout at the club” and proceeded to Sign Turan, Mooney and Jarvis.
That just about sums Swann up. You can want that all you like, reality is Swann won’t give a shit and will do as he likes.
I could be totally wrong about that but strikes me as that kind of person.
What competent chairman sacks off a recognized scout and then brings players in who aren’t fit for conference level ?

The answer to your last paragraph WG is the same as it’s always been. ” The man who knows it all ” and boy, does the Prawn believe he knows it all!!!!!

What about the appointment of Rodders? That was a good use of money wasn’t it? 🙄

No, it matters ESPECIALLY at a small club. Because big clubs can afford not to give a damn (as shown last week by their plans to shove off to a private league of their own) but clubs like ours need to engage with their fans. Break that trust and those fans might realise that it’s not worth parting with a large chunk of their hard-earned every week.

Particularly as I believe he was appointed mainly to oversee our move to a new stadium, our return to the Championship and negotiate player contracts.

Seems to me these words should be on the boardroom wall. Never been more appropriate.

Topics: 11uptheiron, not being funny but it was his ridiculously stupid plan on fielding a whole team of kids thinking we needed no experience and then did a u-turn at the last minute when he knew he had got it drastically wrong.
Howard, Brown we’re especially panic signings.

It is quite difficult uti99 for those that care very deeply for the club to stand by doing nothing while the current shit show plays out.
Going into games against 2 very mediocre teams that have nothing to play for and hoping we might keep the score down to one or two and praying we might manage a shot on target across the 2 games is a desperate situation to be in.
My personal hope is that Southend are an even bigger basket case than we are.
If that situation is OK by you then you are either a member of the family or a fecking idiot or perhaps both.

We’ve been terrible this season just like we were in the season before we signed Mussy, Bara and Crosby, then look what happened.

I understand ups and downs and if I was only looking for good times I would not have stuck with the Iron for 56 years.
Until this season we have never had a team whose primary tactic is to keep the score down.

That kind of argument can excuse anything.
Look, it was 17 years ago, with a different management, manager and players, plus a different attitude of the club towards its fans!
Complacency rules.
