Swann appears to have a reverse midas touch, everything he touches turns to sh*t!

Anyone know what’s happening with his hotel in Blackpool? Not a great time to be opening a “high class” venue, especially in Blackpool. Just hope he’s better at running hotels than he is at running football clubs.

Understand they are very low on stock of shirts and struggling to get any more into the building. No idea if the above is true, but would certainly explain why there are no kits available to order online!

Macron have had supply problems with a few of their contracts. They do a lot of Non league contracts and they do Ref kits now so they’re stretched

what an absolute shambles .. now staff cannot be paid
I’m not claiming that definitely is the case but read that the rumoured 250k is needed to pay all staff, now whether that is true is another thing all together but what Swann said the other day kind of backs that up.
Swann says he hopes to conclude a deal soon as “the club needs investment”.
Is the supposed 250k needed the investment Swann said the club needs ?
The club has needed investment for quite some time so why come out and say it now ?
Then you have this about money being owed to the kit supplier. No wonder Swannster will want a deal done ASAP.

From the OWS:-
“Scunthorpe United’s Academy is advertising for the full-time position of Player Care Officer
We’re also looking to employ a Foundation Phase Co-ordinator”Would suggest that paying staff is not a major issue wouldn’t it?

That’s only words on a website cass, maybe just keeping on painting a picture even though the paint is nearly all gone. When or if the end comes it won’t be advertised on the club’s website days or weeks in advance will it. 🙁

So the deal that was never on in the first place is off. Swann does not intend to sell – he just needed the next excuse.

With no real updates coming from the club, or Swann, or the board, or the “fans director”, or local news, it is to be expected that supporters will speculate as to progress or lack thereof, and there will be likely any number of “my mates, best mate window cleaner knows <insert name here>, and he says <insert random update here>.”
From a personal perspective, I hope I am wrong but I have seen, read, or heard nothing that makes me believe there is a deal to be sealed anytime soon. To add to that, it appears abundantly clear to me that the club is operating at a loss right now, and cannot continue to accrue debt indefinitely. At some point something will have to give; either the current owners will have to invest more of their cash, the club is sold to new owners and they invest, or the club is liquidated.
Whatever the outcome, one thing we can all agree on; Peter Swann’s reign has been an unmitigated disaster!

I understand players and staff have not been paid this morning. That is not to say they will not be paid by the end of the day.

Hard to tell fact from fiction on Twitter today. Rumours everywhere.
If cash flow is as bad as reported then I’m leaning towards Swann’s hand will be forced to either accept the bids; that or place the club in admin. Either way, the status quo appears to be untenable.

Well they did have a number one in 1974 with ” Down Down “, been a long time coming but they might have been predicting the future for Scunthorpe United FC.

Maybe the quiet is due to the deal being finalised.
Eyes closed and fingers crossed.
