I’m of the same opinion. Swann’s made even more of a balls up. Swann’s probably thought “o, Crewe can play well with youngsters, we’ll go down that route.
What he failed to factor in, is the fact Crewe have the coaching infrastructure and have been taking that approach for decades.
Swannster again has involved himself in the footballing side of things when he’s got no fucking idea what he’s doing. What chairman in their right mind buys the players in “all kids”..appoints a club captain and then signs a rookie manager to babysit ?
The guy is a walking disaster. What made me laugh was, cox said Swann was trying up until deadline day to sign experienced players but couldn’t afford the outlay. This is why chairmen shouldn’t get involved in anything other than signing off on deals when they have absolutely no clue about the football side of things.
When they do, crap like this happens. It appears he’s realised his little plan of going with kids hasn’t worked even this early on.
This is why chairman should sign a manager and let them do their job. Honestly, he’ll never learn. Swann’s meddling will be the death of us.
Now we have to hope we sign some good experienced pro’s to see they can save us.
Fingers crossed we stay up this season and then Swann can move on. I suppose he’s had a good crack at it but he’s the one who’s responsible for this shambles. Enough’s enough now, he needs to move on…he’s killing the club.
I don’t think Burny Crewe threw 9 players in at the start of a season without any league experience in one go, they were about 50/50 of youth and experience until those young players were good enough and some older players faded out, our experienced players have been injured and are still out and only one of them has played a couple of games, and of those two experienced one is the goalkeeper who has had one really good game in over 50 so not brilliant, this season is a disaster and you can’t see us win another game, it was certainly better for your mental health when there was no football for six months and to be honest I don’t look forwards to match days anymore and it still wouldn’t surprise me if eventually the club is folded and the ground knocked down for redevelopment.
Swann thinks being rich gives him an ability to run a football club like a vanity project. The fans will be picking up the pieces once he’s finished playing football manager.
I struggle to comprehend the thought process the Swann family went through thinking they knew what players to buy and that they would make a profit selling them on. just crazy! If any of these Swann signings are on more than £300/week they’re stealing a living
Ironawe, what makes it all the more laughable is Charlie Goode, the only player to be sold for a sizeable fee, we let go and let somebody else profited lol
But then again a lot wanted Turnbull out, and Swanny fulfilled their wishes. From what i have seen swanny seems to do the right thing on what a lot of what people want(not me) maybe just not fast enough for their liking.
I don’t think Mr Swann makes any decisions based on what people say on here or social media awaywego
Signing a load of players off your own back and appointing a perma crock as your club captain is plenty enough. That’s already way too much involvement for any chairman.
Not many fans wanted a family run transfer committee with no footballing knowledge. I was ambivalent about Turnbull but those who wanted him out would assume, like with managers, to be replaced with suitably qualified and experienced person
I do it all for free WG. just like to keep the site balanced.My post was an observation Deerey but still factual, i hope Swanny doesnt take any notice of what posters say on this site unless they are libeling him.
Swanny doesnt take any notice of what posters say on this site
So, he signs a team full kids with no experience around them…signs a rookie manager and then resigns a permacrock and makes him captain. Throw into the mix we have one of the most unbalanced squads in Scunthorpe United history and you think people are unfair in having their say ?
Are you real ?. This is solely down to swannster playing real life football manager with the club. If Swann fancies himself as a manager/play recruiter then he needs to pack up all his businesses, horses e.t.c and take the qualifications/courses and try and become one.
I’d rather he not play the role while he’s here and feck everything up in the process.
