In my opinion, Lee Turnbull has a lot to offer Scunthorpe United. Please stay Lee.

No, we’ve seen what he was paid to do and say.

I’d rather not see him go. Prefer if he stayed in some capacity. Yes, he made a huge mistake, but the club can only benefit from him staying. Forgive and move onwards and upwards.

The point is that a CEO of a professional football club cannot be seen to be in any way condoning the breaking of ground regulations.
What if he turned a blind eye to the following ones for instance?
“Racial, homophobic or discriminatory abuse, chanting or harassment is strictly forbidden
and will result in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground.”
“The use of threatening behaviour, foul or abusive language is strictly forbidden and will result
in arrest and/or ejection from the Ground.”1 user thanked author for this post.
The huge mistake he made was taking the king’s shilling in the first place when he’d no need to, not like he was unemployed, he’d seen Simon Elliott resign from the board why did he think it was a good move to come back at that time, what has he done other than threaten fans with the police and sold us a couple of lemons? deceitful over the wages saga, Mmm definitely a keeper.

I understand the annoyance around Lee … but there is that saying about ‘a rock and a hard place.’ From the outside it can seem v black and white .. but he was juggling all sorts of pressures, including rubbing shoulders every day with staff who had livelihoods to worry about. I think he probably regrets aspects of his statement … but sustained and extreme pressure rarely brings the best performance out of anyone. Nuttall received room for a second chance .. and got us a few goals and some money as a result. Lee deserves to be part of this new dawn … I hope he stays on and brings his passion and ability to serve us for years to come.

I think Lee needs to do a mea culpa and apologise first. I’m all for forgiveness once he has tried to rebuild bridges.

I’ll give him a second chance if he apologizes like Nuttall did.

I know that all the family members have been removed from the website, the club statement has been made that David Hilton is now Owner and Chairman and that a Termination notice has been filed with Companies House for both of the Swanns but what about Coolsilk Property & Investment Limited? The company is still listed as ‘Persons with significant control’ is this just a formality and takes a bit of time to be changed or has the wool been pulled (again) before a big bill at the end of the month needs to be paid?
Files sent to Companies House do sometimes take a day or two to appear on the website, I’m surprised the termination of the directorships of the former owners has appeared already.

It does take a bit of time Ben. Not sure how long in this case and if it’s something to be concerned about or not. If it’s like that in a month or two I’d be concerned!

Neil Wright going down like a lead balloon on Facebook, no message while swann was in charge but with a new owner in charge posts support for Turnbull. To little to late in the main.
Is anyone surprised?
New Chairman.. New broom required. Ask Simon and Ian if they’re willing to join the board. other local businessmen who want to help.
A suitable Fan rep has stepped up to the plate this week.
Take Mahoney’s blazer off him.

Turnbull needs to apologize for the crap he came out with. Neil Wright can piss off though for my liking, as said above he had nothing to say instead of suggesting fans should be charged due to invading the pitch. Now a new chairman is in he’s singing like a canary, he needs kicking straight into touch.
How the hell can he represent the fans ?. I mean come on, he must be living in an alternate reality. Part of this new start is clearing crap out and he’d be the next one to go for me.
