Or a few months? Years? Never?

Looking at Swanns track record it could be never. It’s always been smoke and mirrors since the Swanns arrival and it’s still smoke and mirrors now. Why would any supporters believe a word Swann has to say.

Who will chair the board meeting I wonder. Will it be the invisible man. It seems strange too that as soon as Swann resigns as Chairman we have a supposedly fans director on the board. I don’t trust any of them now.

News in a few weeks eh, that’s a bit different to your last info, ” after the weekend” which was the previous weekend BTW. Not convinced you know jack shit WG but keep us posted because it’s usually highly amusing if nothing else.

A complete waste of a new thread WG, nothing what so ever came of your last one, and this one tells fans nothing, I take it that you know no more than any of us other supporters, you just do not know, so it is pointless just stating that “I have been told” this, that and the other.
I know nothing about the take over since reading that a price has been agreed between the proposed buyers and Swann, but I still believe (and have stated this for over seven or eight months), that in my opinion the sale will be low priced, because it will not include the Stadium, ground and all the clubs once owned land which will be kept by Swanns company, so we are talking about the probable contents of the sale to the new buyer, being the players and management of SUFC, which boils down to practically nothing of any value, I have not been informed by anyone, it’s just my opinion based on the eight year record of Swann, who has not been noted for giving any previouse thruthfull statements, or anything that benefits either SUFC or it’s supporters, so why should things change now???????
New Stadium, before falling out with the contractor, then a relocated second stadium located nearer to the M180 before falling out with the NLCC, followed by the refurbishment of the present stadium, we are still looking for our new seats in this this refurbished one, then we also had the team playing in the “Championship”, or did we hear him wrongly, did he mean the “National League”, and not forgetting the build of the 160 appartments that were to be built on club land, sorry that should read Swanns land, and then the loan from the Football League which gained the club an embargo being placed on them, I do not know for sure, but it has been stated that the Stadium package has even had a mortgage taken out on it by Swanns company, so WG you can see from this list, that no notice can be taken from anything that Swann tries to tell you, or any so called statement from him.

Iron-awe I couldn’t give a toss if you’re convinced or not. All I’m posting here is what Neil Wright has told me on twitter, if you have anything negative to say then go straight to the source.
If you have anything to say, grow some balls and take your clever comments to him. No point in being an arse to me, all I’m doing is passing on what I’ve been told.
If you would like his twitter account then I’ll give you it. By all means add him and call him a bullshiter or whatever else you feel like calling him. I don’t think for one minute you will though.
I think the height of your powers is being a twat on here Iron-Awe.
P.s
If you would like the chat transcripts sent by him though I’ll cut and paste them. Then as I said above, grow some balls and give him stick if you’re not happy with what he’s been typing to me.1 user thanked author for this post.
Takeover is another smoke screen like all the off the field things that Mr Swanns employee Lee Turnbull is doing to mask the very poor Manager and on the showing on the last 2 games very poor Team.
Came out of Tuesday nights game and it felt just like coming out of one of last seasons games !
Nothing seems to have changed on the pitch and I doubt with the takeover.
Mr Swann has been very shrewd in appointing Lee Turnbull who is bringing money into the Club and because of this he has no need to sell.
The only real changes we have at the Club are Chip Vans , Face Painting , Singers and loads of small posters going up around town.
We still have the same owner, same Manager and on the showing of the last two games players not much if any better than we had.7 users thanked author for this post.
We shouldn’t be resorting to name-calling on here. We’re all fans of the same club ffs!
However it does show how frustrated we are all getting over the “potential takeover”.
The torture never stops!

Time and ACTIONS or INACTION will tell Awaywego regarding the outcome of this supposed takeover of our Scunthorpe United FC. Words are cheap and regarding SWANN and CO very rarely if ever true. You seem to profess to know more than other fans on here.

I like to judge people on their actions Awaywego and up to know all the choices which Scunthorpe United have had in the past have been taken away by the Swanns reckless and irresponsible behaviour in my opinion. I hope Neil is a genuine fan and wants the best for Scunthorpe United and supporters. Time will tell and its too early to say yet. Look how many supporters believed in Swann when he became Chairman and look how many believe in him now.

His actions were to stand up and be counted not just to sit and criticize, will that do you.

‘I’m posting here is what Neil Wright has told me on twitter, if you have anything negative to say then go straight to the source.’
I’m guessing by a number of posts to your thread WG, that a fair few supporters are not really interested in your exchanges with Mr Wright on Twitter and probably have no desire to engage with him on Twitter, otherwise they’d already be doing it. What everyone really wants to hear is positive solid facts regarding the takeover and would perhaps rather wait for that to materialise rather than carrot dangling ‘news in a few days…news in a few weeks’, etc. We’ve had years of similar comments from Swann about this and that happening on all manner of things, only to be let down. If you want to have dialogue with Mr Wright on Twitter, fill your boots. I’m sure when there is something definitive to relay on the takeover there’ll be a press release or something.

Got to agree with Deery on this one. The only thing that matters is when we have a either a club statement confirming change of ownership or an announcement by new owners. Anything up to that point is speculation even (or perhaps especially) if it is based on something the elephant in the room has said.
Fans of the club have 2 realistic choices. We either take solace that Mr Swann seems no longer to take part in the day to day running of the club and get behind those trying to rescue it from its deathbed or we have nothing to do with the club until new ownership is confirmed.
If you are in the second category then why are you wasting your time on here?
I am fed up with the whole sad saga and would prefer to not hear or read another word on the subject until proper confirmation is out in the public domain. Just look at our fishy friends down the road – it may take some time.

First category for me. He may not have sold up, but the club seems to have improved off the pitch in a number of ways now that he’s less operational. That speaks volumes and it’ll do for me untill he does finally sell up.

Wright is Ok,it’s a new role at the club and a huge role for him to learn.Hes clearly made mistakes but is a good guy .He will learn but remember this, his loyalty is to the board ,that is his legal obligation so he is limited to what he can say or do publicly. I think we should be told what his responibity to be able to target questions accordingly as he won’t know everything

It was a football thread that turned political. It happens. It’s a natural possible evolution of a discussion.

…evolution?… that’s only your theory,I guess.

Think Darwin possibly kicked it off but most rational thinkers agree with him.

Looks like WG will have to tune out soon, as we have another off-topic discussion to drag on and on. :-)
…evolution?… that’s only your theory,I guess.
We also have the theory of gravity, theory of plate tectonics and germ theory. I guess you take similar disbelief to those, as they are only theories too, and we might fall up if we jump out of a building? :-)

WG—I have no problem with fans giving their opinions on anything and on this forum, but when you say that I have too much to say on most topics, this is so completely wrong pal, in fact I have not got all that much interest in Scunthorpe United these days, I had nearly 70 years of full interest, but the way that the club has been ruined, and the lack of entertaining football they have churned out over at least the past four years, I am really shocked by the number that still attend GP.
What makes you think that Swann will tell Mr Wright any truth, after spinning bullshit to over 5,000 original fans for eight years, for the record mate, I cannot think of and statement from him that has turned out to happen, I just cannot see it changing now. The land package that is now in Swanns companies ownership is of too great a value for it to be handed back to SUFC.
I just wish that the take over would take place, but in my opinion the longer it goes on like it is doing, the less chance I think it will happen, but it is of no comfort when forum members keep comoimh out with information “that never happens”.4 users thanked author for this post.
