What is the Truth

[SteveJobsworth]

Talks at an advanced stage, hoping to be completed by the weekend!

Say what now, evidence?

[Awaywego]

Is that ground sharing with Gainsborough or someone in principle agreeing to buying the club.

[SteveJobsworth]

2 separate parties, Matt Ellis on Twitter has put on, seems true about the rumours of needing £250k by end of month which is why they are trying to get it done swiftly.

One is believed to be a businessman from London (owner of a Dutch company) and the other is supposed to be a local group.

Hopefully it’s the owner of Heineken!

[SteveJobsworth]

Under 18’s played a Dutch under 18’s team today so could be something in that regarding the London businessman.

Probably Shell then. Or Royal Dutch Shell as they were called until earlier this year.

Need to spend a bit of their £8bn profits from the last quarter before Rishi hits them with a windfall tax.

For what it’s worth, Neil Wright denying any takeover on Facebook now – just rumours again.

Worth nothing if it came from that waste of space

Either that or KVV looking to spend the money he earned from his days as a plasterer*

*Assumption based on how much the last plasterer I used charged me.

Twitter is alive with the sound of rumour tonight, sounds closer than it ever has been.

I have it on good information that the cash flow situation is serious and we do investment ASAP.

[WonderGoals]

This is from twitter’s Matt Ellis

Understand it’s at advanced stages with 2 groups. Hope to complete by the weekend.
To clarify: 2 separate groups.

Peter Swann tells Iron Bru a deal to sell #SUFC is “as close as it has ever been”. Understand two consortiums are still at the negotiating table. Deal not done. Very fluid situation. Swann says he hopes to conclude a deal soon as “the club needs investment”.

Dare we dream of Swann pissing off ?

Hope this is true but we have heard it so many times it’s close it’s going to happen etc etc
I guess it’s keep everything crossed as pretty sure if it doesn’t happen we will be looking at a terrible alternative

I’m pretty excited to be honest. Let’s hope it goes through and the groups involved have Scunthorpe United best interests at heart.

Official line from Swann is that we are closer than ever, but nothing concrete yet.
Two parties still negotiating.
I understand one is the local consortium and the other is the party who passed the fit and proper test some time ago. I also believe the local consortium are only interested in securing the club + GP, whilst the second party want the whole site including the land for the flats/apartments so not straight forward.

I’m crossing everything it gets done 🤞

I’m not suggesting we are more important than any other club but I firmly believe this club deserves a chance to go again!!!
We deserve saving from Peter Swann!!!

We have shown in the past we can average 6,000+ Attendance And have held our own in the second tier (for one season) so surely there’s something worth believing in for a potential investor!!

Please please save this unbelievable club

If it goes through, it’ll be interesting to see who they bring in as manager – or, will they stick with Daws?

I hope not !. Daws is ok but we need an experienced “or young talented manager” who knows the national league through and through. Perm manager is the way to go for stability.

The deal is done!

It’s taken a while but it’s now gone through.

£38 billion.

Elon Musk now owns Twitter too.

I wonder if he’d like to buy Scunny?

Someone ‘tweet’ him.

🆘💔🆘
Save Our Scunny

[Iron-awe]

On that explains everything, the club sale is all a Twitter conspiracy theory being put about by Musk, relax we are going bust after all.

I don’t think a 6k average will be realistic for a club our size but if we can start winning games again, play entertaining football and have an ownership that genuinely cares for the club and invests in the right areas, we can pull in a 4K average- which is more than enough to sustain league football.

[Deereyme66]

I’m assuming with new ownership, more positivity and better relationship builders the club can attract more inward investment from sponsorship and other commercial revenue streams? You’d hope so anyway.

The longer Swann hangs on and stays the bigger the debt gets. He must have got the message by now surely. Swann get gone and let’s get the fans back through the turnstiles who are staying away because of him. He knows that him and his family are not wanted here and that is putting it mildly. There is so much anger towards him because of what he has done to our Scunthorpe United. Swann sell up now you are just holding us back and putting our Club down. Every day you remain the debt gets bigger and our future gets more precarious. SWANN GET GONE!!!!!!!

It’s all about the money, his money, that’s all he’s concerned about, we should not get in front of ourselves talking about new managers, future investment etc, it means nowt if we get disappointed again, we all need to chill out and wait.

Experienced like Hill?

Young & talented like Cox?

We need a GOOD manager regardless of age and experience.

Hopefully the next permanent one will not need to kowtow to the Swanns!

[Ironawe]

All a bit convenient for Swann these rumours – close to going bust but two interested parties – wonder if Bru can ask him if has seen proof of funds yet

I know. I covered all bases by including experienced and young talented managers.

Any way moving on to this new potential sale of the club. If rumours are to be believed and we do need to find 250k as a club in the near future to stave of going into administration, has that made Swann more realistic in terms of what he’s looking to get for the club ?

If Swann still kept playing hardball and sat on a clearly rotting club and let it go into administration, would he then get less for it ?

I’m not sure how it all works but it would make sense.

Swann said that he hopes to conclude a deal soon as “the club needs investment”. I wonder whether the “club needs investment” comment was referring to the 250k the club supposedly needs to stave off administration ?

Maybe he takes what he can now before that eventuality becomes a reality. Dawned on Swannster that he either takes what he can now or potentially get’s a mere fraction once the club fully goes to shite.
