Well said, Sir.

I wonder whether Swann should enter politics. He seems to have many of the necessary credentials.

Évidemment!

A fine appointment but I still believe that it’s too little, too late. I hope I’m wrong.

Welcome aboard, Simon, and let’s hope its not a sinking ship. Note that the role is specifically non-executive.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose!
We take the lead and can’t hold on to it.
How many points have we dropped in this way?1 user thanked author for this post.
Who on earth could possibly the tempted to work under the Swanns?

When Wharton was Chairman, Directors used to travel to away matches. Do they still?
As for home games, again Directors attended to watch matches and to receive visiting Directors.
These are matters of courtesy for Directors. Do our current Directors continue to offer such politeness?2 users thanked author for this post.
It looks as though normal service has resumed.

Yes, I do know that Rex died. We attended his funeral.

Steve is, and always was, a gentleman.
I knew Rex much better (having married his wife’s bridesmaid and played the organ at their wedding) and his legal expertise and enthusiasm were always appreciated. Times have changed, Steve and Rex have left and look where we are now. It all starts from the top.1 user thanked author for this post.
This is not acceptable against any criteria. I hold firstly Swann and secondly Cox responsible for this wretched performance. At this rate, we are going non-League. After supporting the Iron for 68 years, I do not anticipate doing so for much longer.

I shall not be attending. I have no time for the Board because it comprises three members of the Swann family and the C. E. O. whom they pay. There can be little diversity of opinion. By the way,other former Board members still have large sums of money in the Club.
I wish the Club were being run “as a hobby” (Swann’s own words, as I recall), as it allegedly was under Wharton.
I am thinking of writing two books:
1. How to run a Football Club and
2. How to ruin a Football Club.
Whom should I choose to help me?
It is unfortunate that the Chairman has at various times alienated many fans by his actions, “Biscuitgate” being one of them. How petty!
Swann didn’t want to run Shareholders’ Meetings in the past so I ask myself why has he changed his tune?
In the words of T.S.E., “Descend lower …”. Sorry, we can’t because we’re already bottom of the F.L.!
Here lie the thoughts of an ex referee who has supported the Iron since the 1950s and, if we’re not very careful, F. L. status, too.
