Hopefully not awaywego, not least because you’d just use that as another opportunity to declare Scunny fans as the worst in the country. Hopefully none of those bladdered little hoolies you admire don’t shame the town by being knobheads who can’t handle a few beers. I wouldn’t bank on it though.
October 8, 2021 at 3:57 pm #215063Wootton was rarely played as a CF but pushed out wide – something which ruined better than he.
As for the Chairman departing – it is most difficult to see us ‘out of the frying pan and into any fire’.
We are a club dying on its feet. We have a wealthy owner, uttering platitudes when bottom of the 92 and losing fans for fun – who to me, seems unbothered by this current disastrous situation.
If this assessment is in any way correct – it is hard to see what type of new chairman might be expected to do worse.October 8, 2021 at 4:14 pm #215066That doesn’t answer the question.
Give me a who?How would anyone know?
There don’t seem to be many people trying to buy clubs that AREN’T FOR SALE.
But if it was put up for sale….1 user thanked author for this post.
October 8, 2021 at 4:30 pm #215067WG Wotton and Godden were here 6 and 5 years, Godden went out on loan 8 times Wotton 6, they in there time here were just not good enough and you’ve got to admit we did give them plenty of time, glad there doing well now and good luck to them.
Wootton was played out on the wing for the most part or as a loan striker with no support. Godden was sent out on loan but that was when he was was a kid mostly, I’m talking about when he was moving into his later years with us, he should have been reassured and tied down to a contract.
You can give excuses all you like but they both should have been signed up to deals and sent out on loan.
Godden you could tell from a youngster was a natural finisher, hence why he scored so many goals. Everybody with eyesight knew that.
Goode I always felt had something, he was let go for peanuts and Northampton profited. The system down at GP needs to change. We can’t keep playing the younger players either in a role which doesn’t suit them or play them while they’re getting no support, losing patience and moving them on.
If we keep going down that road we’ll keep missing out.
October 8, 2021 at 4:46 pm #215072That doesn’t answer the question.
Give me a who?So you put your car up for sale on autotrader knowing exactly who’s going to buy it do you?
As MK says, we didn’t know Swann was lurking in the reed-beds until Wharton decided to call it a day.

October 8, 2021 at 6:31 pm #215085Car, football club, house.
If no one knows you want to sell your home then everyone will just walk past it.
But as soon as the for sale boards go up!
Unless of course you just sit around waiting for someone to ring the doorbell and ask you “do you want to sell your house”.

October 8, 2021 at 7:01 pm #215089If they don’t pay the mortgage the house will be repossessed. If they don’t pay utility bills then they’ll be left without power. How is this relevant? Surely you’re not suggesting your hero is not paying the players?

Maybe they’ll just have to rack up a lot of credit card debt until a buyer is found.

It’s called living beyond your means, buying a house you can’t afford and prioritising luxuries over essentials. Sound familiar? How much were the architects fees for the new stadium, how much were consultations with constructors, how much to pay off managers, how much on fees and wages for players we hardly saw because successive managers didn’t want them. Not owning the ground leads me to ask – what exactly is there to attract a buyer?

October 8, 2021 at 8:13 pm #215099Only bothered about what used to be our club.

It will take longer than he “expects” if HE DOESN’T ADVERTISE IT AS FOR SALE.
And if he doesn’t pay his bills there’s always bailifs.October 9, 2021 at 9:06 am #215119It’s not their fault they don’t pay the mortgage/bills. They don’t have enough income to cover them.

They won’t “find” a buyer unless THEY ADVERTISE IT AS FOR SALE.
Stop being stupidOctober 9, 2021 at 9:32 am #215121“Stop being stupid”
Less likely than Cox playing attacking football?
October 9, 2021 at 9:42 am #215122I thought PS said in one of his recent interviews if a buyer came along he would sell, so in my opion the club is up for sale. The thing is we won’t know anything for certain until a new owner is announced and I expect a change of ownership might be quite complicated the way “its assets” are split between the chairman’s companies.
October 9, 2021 at 10:05 am #215124UPI99 what will your comments be about the Chairman if he becomes the first one to get us relegated out of the league, and at the moment it is looking very likely because the manager won’t try anything different to get us out of this mess, we will have done our homework on Harrogate but they don’t need to do any on us because we don’t do anything anything any different, all we do is sit back and rely on breakaways and then we rarely get a shot on target, so unless we have been practicing shooting instead of how to nullify certain opposition players we will get the same result.

October 9, 2021 at 9:46 pm #215216Well I did protest after all,and peacefully as well, 6 of us went down the away end before halftime encouraging everyone to leave at halftime to show our disgust, was it very successful? Ps did we come across you NI or were you in the home end.
October 9, 2021 at 10:04 pm #215222I was in the home side with two (neutral) mates, as I couldn’t get a ticket from SUFC.
Have to admit to “doing a Bartonscorpion” and leaving when the penalty went in.
Only the second time in my life I’ve done it. And the other time was a car parking issue!
October 9, 2021 at 10:22 pm #215226We would have walked at 3-0 but the grandkids wanted to stay till halftime. So good before the game fans in all the pubs in town good atmosphere and no trouble anywhere shame we didn’t stay there.
October 9, 2021 at 10:30 pm #215228In the end they gave Scunny fans more terracing next to the seating area, so they could have give us more ticket’s, but I suppose 300 Scunny fans got lucky by not getting them.
