Rumours afoot that other potential take over bids have failed due to the prospective buyers being fed up with being fed bullshit and lies.
The sign here, hand over the dosh and we will sort out the details later approach does not bode well to any businessman with a modicum of business acumen.
Apparently the scenario is likened to Price, Cooper, Waterhouse dealing with Del-boy!

August 11, 2022 at 7:57 am #242456Hopefully Mrs Swann will take over negotiations then.
August 11, 2022 at 8:45 am #242457If your rumours are true that others have walked away can only be a good thing, we want someone who is committed to the club not someone who gives up at the first hurdle, most deals fail because the buyer can’t come up with the finance not being fed bullshit, just look at the Derby saga.
August 11, 2022 at 9:34 am #242458whoever is going to buy the club I wish they would just get on with it, I am starting to think Peter Swann can’t let go.

August 11, 2022 at 9:41 am #242461Big egos don’t let go easy.
August 11, 2022 at 11:21 am #242463Don’t know if this has been posted before, just a reminder.
August 11, 2022 at 12:46 pm #242468i heard a rumour (semi reliable sauce) that the deal had stalled n stumbled and is not on the rocks .. due to Swans idea of doing business , the guy is a slippery snake zig zagging fooker so cant blame any potential buyers for being wary.. hope its not correct as new owners would really add bounce to a great start to the season.

August 11, 2022 at 3:16 pm #242472Iron, I’ll ask Neil Wright….you better not be right !
So it’s stalled, stumbled but is still on ?
August 11, 2022 at 3:27 pm #242473Doesn’t sound good I’m afraid. I was told by Neil that the board were expecting an update from Swannster and he still hasn’t heard anything so you have to assume he hasn’t update the board.
Whatever is happening behind the scenes, I doubt it’s good. I don’t know whether it’s down to the fact he truly doesn’t want to let go or the fact he’s potentially moving the goal posts in a bid to try and get every single last penny for it.
I’m only guessing here but find it odd that he still hasn’t updated the board.
Not got a good feeling about this. I say give it another week but if it still isn’t done then don’t hold out much hope. Dragging on too long now.
August 11, 2022 at 3:38 pm #242474I would suggest that all board members, except Lee and Neil, are fully updated regarding any potential sale.

August 11, 2022 at 3:53 pm #242475Maybe not Mrs Swanny, would imagine she just wants rid.
August 11, 2022 at 4:42 pm #242478Does anybody ever hear a rumour that puts Swann in a positive light?
Maybe, just maybe, he does want rid but the potential new owners are trying to screw him? You never know…..
August 11, 2022 at 5:35 pm #242479Positive for Swanny, he has tried to inject life into Blackpool. Despite the town being the most deprived in the country, childrens
homes have trebled, drug taking out of control and no go areas at night he has decided to build a 5 star hotel and casino with a James Bond themed bar filling a vital gap in the market for those struggling to survive but just enough money for a £10 martini.4 users thanked author for this post.

August 11, 2022 at 6:43 pm #242483Did anyone seriously think he would suddenly turn into a quietly walk off into the sunset kind of guy?
There may well be more pain to come but there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it.
Early days but the vast improvements on and off the field suggest he is having no input to the day to day running of the club. Time to put the ownership issue on the back burner and get behind Lee and Keith in their efforts to turn us back into a football club.
August 11, 2022 at 6:51 pm #242485Yep if a new housing estate is coming to replace Glanford Park there is nowt we can do. UP THE IRON

August 11, 2022 at 9:06 pm #242494Can’t believe Peter had told us the price was agreed and that would turn out not to be the case. Struggling to think of any other instances when this sort of thing has happened.
I’m hoping he needs the cash from the sale to pay for the hotel build, which still isn’t wasn’t open last time I checked.1 user thanked author for this post.
August 11, 2022 at 9:07 pm #242495It’s my going to happen is it ?
August 11, 2022 at 9:37 pm #242496I meant to put it’s not going to happen is it?

August 11, 2022 at 9:50 pm #242497Does anyone actually have any facts as to whether the take over is happening or not as it seems people are spreading rumours on here without having any actual proof. I too am hoping it would hurry up and happen but none of us know what is going on so until something official comes out to say its not happening am going to assume it still is.

August 11, 2022 at 11:23 pm #242500I thought at the time when you sounded so sure of the sale WonderGoals, that you were placing too much faith in that guy, who has fed Scunthorpe supporters lie after lie for the past seven or more years, he has fallen out with proposed contractors, the NLCC, the Football League, and snubbed all the Scunny fans, he is one evil person, who lies for the fun of things, his leadership placed SUFC into a deby of over £13 million pouns, then transferred the clubs assets to his own company, as a result of his own stupidity and extreamly poor management. He has ruined the entertainment of many fans, and then has just ewalked away and left them and the club in limbo.
Just do not believe one word that Swann tells you, you can tell when he is not telling the truth, which is every time he opens his mouth. I appreciate that many are real Scunny club lovers, but you must draw a line when Swann comes out with his bullshit.

August 12, 2022 at 12:04 am #242501If only I’d donated my shares to the Swann family as Peter requested nine years ago. He said it would make it easier for him to sell if I did that.
I blame myself.
Sorry.

As ever you spectacularly miss the point and wonder off on a tangent all of your own.
You could throw yourself at the floor and miss.

August 12, 2022 at 11:19 am #242515If there is any truth in that Swann will need the money from the sale of SUFC to pay for his hotel build then wouldn’t it actually be Scunthorpe United paying towards his hotel as h it is him who spent our club’s money anyway????
August 12, 2022 at 11:22 am #242516A really good post bartonscorpion. Says it exactly as it is.

August 12, 2022 at 11:59 am #242519Your point is based on rumours Ironking not reality as I was pointing out.
August 12, 2022 at 11:56 pm #242551I know that UptheIron99 has stopped p[osting on here (probably because Swann cannot give him any reason for doing so), but are we sure that the same UTI99 is not the same person now using the Awaywego log on????????????
August 13, 2022 at 1:01 am #242555Yes. Sure as the sun rises tomorrow BS
August 13, 2022 at 4:57 pm #242593Would be great if the takeover gets completed at any point soon…. But in the meantime it might be an idea to exercise a little caution with written words regarding the current owner to avoid any legal issues. UTI.
