How on earth can SWANN expect fans to vote now on next seasons kits. What a cheek when we’re only just over half-way through this season. Another ploy to try and take the heat out of our present plight caused purely by HIMSELF and take the heat off HIMSELF. I’m sure most fans would agree SWANN needs to be focusing on the current debacle our Club is in and GET THE EFL LOAN PAID OFF AND GET SOME EXPERIENCED HALF-DECENT PLAYERS IN TO AT LEAST GIVE IT A GO AT KEEPING US IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE. I’m sure too that most fans would say never mind the kits focus on the job in hand.

SWANN alway goes back on what he says he will do ironfromafar. When have you ever known him to tell the truth???????

How many are mistakes and how many are lies to deceive? SWANN has proved that in my opinion he is unfit to to be chairman, to run and own any football club never mind an EFL Club.

No yours ears didn’t deceive you. Swann stated Loft wouldn’t be leaving until we had a replacement. How many fans think Swann know the difference between a downright lie and the truth.

Why are people obsessed with the Loan? Because its the loan that is not allowing us to pay a fee for any half -decent player, and the other THING that is stopping us paying a decent wage for a decent player is SWANN.
Also our Club has lost all respect in the football community, again this is down to SWANN. His track record on how managers and players alike have been treated is extremely low.THE MAIN PRIORITY IS GET THE LOAN PAID OFF IMMEDIATELY SWANN if you want to try and salvage any respect left for you and your boardroom family. Although I think all the respect has now completely gone.

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.

You’re right wondergoals, Davis is one of the worst centre-backs to have ever played for us. It’s got to be Taft and Onariase. I just pray Onariase is fit as I think Davis is a liability. As for Cox making him captain well we know Cox didn’t have a clue!

No uptheiron99 Swann didn’t think 9 years ago I will go and buy a piece of land in Scunthorpe for 11 million, but what he knew and made sure of was that him and his family could take the club land and assets to ensure that they wouldn’t lose financially. In fact they could gain if our Club is wound up and goes into administration, the EFL will want the loan repaid at some point. What is happening now is all down to SWANNS hairbrained schemes and his unforgiveable overspending of our clubs money. Our supporters should really be letting him now exactly how they feel about him and his family because of where they have taken our Club, and not showing any willingness to put things right.

We saw right through him at the first forum, with his too big ideas and fancy plans. A pity more people didn’t. ALL BLUSTER AND NO IDEA ON HOW TO RUN A FOOTBALL LEAGUE CLUB!

Or Awaywego you could show some passion for Scunthorpe United and prove you are a true supporter and show just how much our league status means to you. There are supporters like us who have been for the last sixty years or so, true supporters, who will be absolutely devastated if we drop out of the league. We are talking of 70 odd years of league status and history to be wiped out by one man who has dessicated our Club. This is why we should have demonstrations. If this were happening to most clubs there would be. Are you a spin-off of uti99.

It’s not down to Hill now Awaywego, it’s purely down to SWANN and put his money where his MOUTH is. But then he never does what he says he is going to do anyway does he. Hill has done extremely well with the players he has, getting them fit and trying to get them playing attacking football. What has SWANN DONE, he’s got us where we are now no ground, no assets and looking likely to drop out of the football league for the first time in 70 YEARS.

Well awaywego if you don’t know know you never will. The time for sarcasm is not know. SWANN stated at a meeting that if necessary he would pay off the efl loan, which would surely enable us to bring in much needed additions to our squad. I would say it’s definitely necessary. But the the man talks in riddles, as in the next breath he is saying I’m not putting any more of my money into the club. Well he’s spent all the clubs money and taken the assets and ground to pay off HIS huge spending debt. I would say THE BALL IS DEFINITELY IN SWANNS COURT.

Totly agree Cokeovenkid. I said when he brought Lewis on this is to show just what players he has available to him!

I’m really missing the scoreboard and I suspect many other supporters are too. Hope it’s being repaired. If not it looks as if its something else being taken away from the fans, along with the matchday programme, which I am sure is greatly missed too. Everything that Swann has done to our Club shows his total disregard for supporters.

I can’t see it working for Scunthorpe United being big and nasty with the players we have now. If the system means hoofing the ball up who would win the ball up front. It wouldn’t be Loft or Scrimshaw as they are not physical enough to win the challenges and look at Green and Hypolite. There’s no way that midfield currently playing now would be up to the physical challenge neither. I just can’t see the transition to physical and nasty football being successful particularly with our inexperienced youngsters. It’s results that matter now I know but Swann has to get the right manager, the balls well and truly in his court, or should I say the chickens come home to roost. C’mon Swann offer Nigel the job.

No didn’t see the Chairman yesterday and his car wasn’t on the car park. Its blatantly obvious he has no interest in Scunthorpe United. The reason our gates have plummeted so quickly is not just connected with football on matchdays but the fact that SWANN has alienated so many of our supporters by his actions and also inaction and being absent from the majority of matches this season but then criticising our fans for not attending. The taking ownership of our stadium and assets was the final straw for many and I fear many will not return while SWANN is still here.The renaming of the stadium was bad enough and many think his plans for our football club are very questionable and things could be going according to plan for him.

Fifteen minutes to go and the players did well to hang on to the win. For goodness sake Cox stop this obsession with substitutions. He took off Miles and Hackney when we were in control and playing really well. Cox could have cost us again. Well done to our players today, they thoroughly deserved the win.

It should be a taxi for the SWANNS too. We watched the Bsrrow match on ifollow. We were a total dmbarrassment. This was down to Cox’s defensive tactics. We had the win in our own hands and Barrow looked a very poor side. Then Cox decides to take off the one player causing them problems, Scrimshaw, who I gave man of the match for the first half. Cox shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near to manage a football team. He is totally inadequate and completely useless. Could this be planned relegation and then liquidation?????

Yes Nigel could definitely keep us in the football league. His daily positivity rubbed off on the players and staff throughout the club. I should know I worked there. But the questions are does Swann want to keep us in the football league and would he be bothered if we drop out? and would he want to pay him a decent wage? On all questions the answers are most probably NO HE WOULDNT!

Says it all doesn’t it. Obviously SWANN is happy if we go out the football league.
