Ranting and raving is the normal thing for fans to do in that situation.
What you and UTI99 are saying doesn’t sound normal to me!

Yes it was a good plan ferrite, enjoyed the three years where we gave it a good go to get promoted, not enjoying it very much at the moment but that’s football. Can’t imagine any owner who is not pilloried with the prospect of losing lge status,and lots achieve it as well, most owners don’t survive afterwards, must admit it’s hard to be optimistic at the moment but I will try to be.
Lots of clubs have aimed for the stars and ended up in the gutter. It may be fun along the way but that doesn’t mean it’s a good way to run a club.
I’d have much more confidence about the future if I could see more evidence of efforts off the pitch to maximise the club’s potential: instead of just putting the blame on stay-away fans, I’d love to see more in the way of fan engagement, trying to grow crowds and therefore benefit the club. Maybe it is happening but it’s hard to see from the outside. We’ve all said these things about the quality of the kits (something which does seem to have improved), the quality of the food & drink, all those little things that make a big difference.

Don’t see how you can be indifferento Swann awaywego, particularly as Swann is the absolute cause of the dire situation which our Club is in now. The way in which awaywego and uti99 are commenting and behaving doesn’t ring true with the majority of supporters who are absolutely devastated and outraged by the behaviour and inaction of Swann. Our squad is more depleted now than it was at the beginning of the transfer window, and what Swann says and does is two totally different things.

Whether people agree or disagree with UTI he has every right to offer his view without others slanging him off. Like UTI, I rarely post on here because of the abuse that comes whenever anyone holds a view that doesn’t meet with general approval. Is there any wonder, therefore, that UTI himself fights back.
It’s also worth saying that UTI is making a very valid point. As he points out, it’s highly unlikely that the land is worth anything like the amount that Swann has put into the club.
I’m bitterly disappointed by how Swann’s let things slide and feel very let down as a result of this. However, it’s absurd to suggest he’s somehow happy about what’s happened or the outcome. What’s more, we haven’t been relegated yet. Plenty of clubs have been through incredibly tough times and fought back. There’s no reason we can’t do the same.
Bucks you double standards never fail to astound me!! Yes UTI is entitled to his opinions BUT everyone esle is also!! However when we try voice our opinions we are accused of saying thigs that we haven’t, having agenda’s that we don’t and when you are challenged on it you cry like a baby and disappear!
Just because I believe that Peter Swann is the worst Chairman in the history of Scunthorpe United does not mean that I want us to get relegated! Do you think I enjoy handing over my hard earned every week to sit in a shit hole of stadium and watch utterly shocking football, just so that I can say I’m right???? I would love nothing more than to be proved wrong…..can you see it happening?
While far from optimistic I’m not giving up on the club and still hope that Swann can turn things round. I can’t help feeling that while there are some on here who might say the same thing, in reality they wouldn’t be too upset if we were to go down because it would “prove them right”.

‘Nobody wants to get relegated but you are such drama queens.’
Yes, let’s just trivialise an unbelievably serious situation with little prospect of things improving.
