    I agree with Wondergoals, the only person I would keep is Nathan Stanton. Apart from him we need a clear-out from top to bottom and after Saturday’s post-match interview Nelson would be top of my list.

    I would never ever say well done Swanny, and we were well and truly up the swanny with Swanny! He took us to the brink of what could have made our Club extinct. I say VERY WELL DONE SIMON AND IAN!!!!!

    The team was set up totally wrong today which allowed Notts County so much space to play and we set up to their advantage. Listening to the aftermatch interview by Nelson i’ve never heard so much rubbish spoken in all my life, the man sounds clueless and then to top it all he criticises the players on the radio.This should have been kept in the dressing room. He sounds so unprofessional. Can’t imagine the players will enjoy his tenure, let’s hope its a really short one. Hope the sale of our SUFC goes through smoothly and quickly with Simon and Ian and the consortium, then look forward to a new decent manager.

    It was Swanns lies and no information whatsoever about was was happening with our beloved SUFC that has caused all the uncertainty and worry with supporters. Yesterday I and many others were afraid of the future of our Club and whether we would be going into liquidation. Today I am sure we are all feeling extremely elated with Simon and Ian taking control and we will be backing them 100%. Let’s all look forward and support our SUFC! UP THE IRON! Don’t forget it’s a 12.30 KICK-OFF.

    Nothing at all has improved for our supporters or for our club since we have a fans director. This is my opinion. The only person who things have improved for is Neil Wright, who can now sit in the directors box, free dinner before the match,and go in the directors lounge for free drinks before and after the match. This is also my opinion. I ask who has benefited?

    You’re right about that MK Iron. “Loose balls in midfield”. This is down Daws, to our being too lightweight in midfield. If he doesn’t get it now he never will. Five at the back and losing most games and short in midfield. Feel sorry for Beeston and Butterfield, who should be pushing further forward, but can’t due to Daw’s tactics. This is his third go at managing the 1st team znd HD just can’t do it. Also what young players has he brought through the youth team during the last ten years or so who have been good enough to make it. In my opinion he has become too comfortable in his position and if we get new owners it will be time for a full clear-out.

    I fear Swann is waiting for the gates to drop and then he may come and put us into administration and put the blame on the fans for not coming through the turnstiles. Then he may liquidate the club and sell the land to get back the money which HE has squandered. Lie after lie after lie. He says he wants to sell the club so why does he apparently keep moving the goalposts when we have two consortiums which appear very willing to buy our Club. If he doesn’t sell now it proves he is willing to let our club go under for his own benefit in my opinion. What sort of a person does it take who would wreck a football club who have been a league club for over seventy years, with a decent fan base of dedicated supporters, as proved by the current attendances. Even though the football is dire fans are still attending. I ask again what sort of a person would wreck a club, sign over the assets and land to their own company and then walk away with the proceeds from such assets????????? If this were to happen what sort of a person would do this????????? Time will tell but to the SWANNS please allow new owners to buy our club and get gone because it is you who is costing our club the longer you stay as owners. I believe that if the SWANNS were to leave there would be a return of another 1000 supporters through the turnstiles immediately. This is my opinion and may not happen, we can only hope.

    Angry, sad, disgusted you name it, that one crook businessman could have been allowed to cause this to happen to Bury FC. Also very frightening!!!! Really feel for the supporters.

    You’re absolutely spot on with your comment Pat O’Cake. We’ve been to every forum when Swann attended and if ever anyone disagreed with him or asked him any questions which needed an honest answer his tone changed on a sixpence and he became agitated.

    Feel sorry for the children expecting their Scunthorpe United kits on Christmas day. The shop has always had plenty of stock at Christmas.If this is true and the shop isn’t being re-stocked by Swann it would be no surprise to me as it would just be a continuation of his total disregard for supporters. Its beginning to feel as if he actually hates our supporters due to us disagreeing with his disastrous tenure of our Club and to where we are now, as nothing is ever his fault.

    You cannot compare the abuse directed towards Joe Nuttall with the anger directed towards Swann who has wrecked our Scunthorpe United and has alienated so many fans who now won’t attend until he is gone. And yet he still hangs on. As Iron-Awe says this abuse was given right in Joe’s face and apparently having gone on throughout the match for no reason.

    Holding a flag aloft with Swann out emblazoned on is ok the same as singing Swann out is ok. Bad personal language is not ok. This is one of the reasons why Swann had so many stewards in front of the home terrace even though he is the invisible man now. I hope these stewards react if there is any abuse towards Joe Nuttall at the next home game.

    The verbal abuse used by these few supporters against Joe should be called out by supporters and stamped out by our Club. The abuse goes beyond acceptable and often is very personal. Whether it be verbal or physical this is not acceptable. We have heard it directed at other players in the past and these ignorant people have done it match after match, often with unacceptable personal language. Anyone going about their daily business would find this unacceptable if it were directed towards themselves.

    I say well done to the whole team, including Joe, and to Tony and his assistants for last night’s result! Keep it up lads and we can survive. It should be Swann who the fans should be angry with.

    A very good result last night against a high scoring Barnet. Listened on the radio and we gave a very good account of ourselves. These SO-CALLED fans who were abusing Nuttall need to stop this immediately and support him and the whole team. If they can’t stop this abuse they shouldn’t be attending any more matches.

    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!!!!!!!

    I’ve said from the first game he played for us that we are lucky he came to Scunthorpe and am enjoying watching him. Yes he makes mistakes, he is still learning and maturing. He presses the opposition and is prepared to run at them, one of the goals he scored after beating two ir three of the opposition. Just wish we could keep him all season but I fear Blackpool will recall him or send him on loan to a higher division. I just hope that Wilson will improve to his level.

    Swann can’t be concerned at getting more fans through the turnstiles otherwise he would sell up. There are at least 1000 fans who won’t return until Swann is gone and HD knows that.

    Fans director where are you? Nobody at the football club is showing any concern whatsoever for the plight of our Club. We like many fans are extremely worried that Swann is waiting in the wings to wind our Club up and land grab and take the money. Lee Turnbull has been brought in to take all the flak as Swann doesn’t accept any blame whatsoever and he is not man enough to take any criticism in my opinion. No-one actually knows the price Swann is asking for the sale but could it be he is asking way over valuation as he has no intention of selling. He says he doesn’t want to be here any more as fans don’t want him, so why if he genuinely wants to sell is he not doing???????? PLEASE GET GONE SWANN AND LET OUR CLUB BE SAVED. At present you are behaving like the demolition man.

    It was Swanns ruling Awaywego. He said you couldn’t take your food and drink into the stadium and the stewards on the turnstiles werent allowing fans to take any in making fans drink theirs before entering the stadium.Yes Sanfran49 those were the very words Swann uttered at one of the early forums when he was spouting absolute rubbish the trouble is some fans believed him. We didn’t we saw straight through his lies and bull. Unless of course he does give the stadium, land and assets back to our Club where they belong.

    With it not being an owner funded scoreboard can the half time logo change to “SWANN OUT”, I’m sure the majority of the home fans would all sing along in unison. Some great half time entertainment at last, the spinning around a pole then falling on the floor like a dopey twat has worn a little thin over the years, although the majority of the first team tend to play like that.

    How much money do the Swanns really have? When he left Gainsborough Trinity it was said he wrote the debt off which they owed. He has race horses and apparently owns the hotel at Blackpool. So why is he determined to take everything away from Scunthorpe United which we own and in doing so destroy our Club and in doing so badly affect our town. C’mon Swann if you have an ounce of decency let the buyers in and clear off.

    Not only has Swann dessimated our Club, but if he ends up taking the lot and we no longer exist he will also be guilty of taking away the community aspect from our town and damaging Scunthorpe as a town in my opinion.

    This is all down to Swann dragging us into the mire and let non of us forget that, it’s all his doing where we are now. Things won’t change until he sells up. At the last forum Leanne Mayo, Swanns mouthpiece, stated that whatever division we are in we have to be self-sustainable. With Swann here that will never happen as hundreds of fans are staying away because of him. What has happened to our club should never be allowed and there should be legalities in place to stop it.

    Perhaps could it be that we are starting to play better. Two draws and a win. Could this be the reason that, if the rumour is true, and Nuttall is leaving, that certain people are getting worried we may survive as a club.
