Couple of questions Les:
Who are the new accountant backers?
Since when have agents cared that much about set up? I thought their modus operandi was commission from transfers and increased player wages? Unless I’ve got that wrong?
How do you know Swann has stopped flapping? Where’s that info come from?
Don’t get me wrong, some very good things are happening (good signings early doors, a groundswell of support from fans and sponsors, etc). However, there are huge concerns over GP still, and budget sustainability.
Ì’d rather this tribalism (clappers v moaners) didn’t exist but it’s difficult not to fall into that trap when critical thinking is frequently undermined or derided. Probably similar for those who are more optimistic who get tired of being labelled happy clappers. I think it’s wise to be cautious and sceptical though. Don’t want a repeat of previous mistakes do we?

Accountants Jackson-Stapleton are ‘main club partner’, DM. Would you want your financial firm associated with a dodgy enterprise? https://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/2023/june/jackson-stapleton-accountants-become-main-club-partner-ahead-of-2023-24-season/
I would have thought that agents’ reputations could well be damaged if their clients were directed towards a dubious deal. (Obviously, that is all about self-protection and precious little to do with honourable conduct.)
As for Swann, there has been a lengthy silence. Unusual. – May be tactical, of course.
I wrote some weeks ago that one of my legal eagles has stated to me that there appears to be a strong likelihood that DH is on top of the lease situation. No guarantees, of course, as our info is incomplete.
As for me, I admit to a wait-and-see policy – it’s just that, outwardly at least, matters now appear more positive than negative. A month ago I was 50/50.
I am just one more Iron outsider attempting to look in.3 users thanked author for this post.
You’re right Les, no company would want to sponsor a dodgy enterprise. I wasn’t insinuating it was dodgy, but there are still big questions over the ground and sustainability.
Agents reputations? Don’t they live and die on getting good transfers and increasing player wages? They can’t legislate for a club potentially going tits up.
We’ve not heard a word from Swann since Hilton took over. Its not a case of him suddenly going quiet. Can’t see why we would now with lawyers involved.
Just trying to keep things in perspective here.
