7, partnership deal with a company charging £30 pounds yes £30 pounds for a signed photo of a national league north player lol.
8, stopping fans from going in the executive lounge after the game ( which is still costing the club money as not all have returned after their U turn)
Cant understand why there are any complaints can you.

Probably missed some out if I think of any more I’ll let you know.

You really are a sad old man.

Do you spend all day trying to get upset about things that are not important?

If everything is as bad as you make out (which I don’t believe it is), then why bother “supporting” the club?

[IronIronIron]

We will keep the run going.

3-0

[IronIronIron]

Keep the run going. 2-0.

1-0 to us. Let’s keep the run going.

[IronIronIron]

We’ll be back before 2030. Hoping to still be around.

He’ll just change his name and start again.

Companies House should be asking him how & why he was registered as a Director for a number of companies when they’d banned him for 7 years!!

If I can’t be positive before the seasons starts, I never will be!!

2-0 Iron

So Iron414, you trust the board to make decisions on every subject EXCEPT recruitment, and with very little day to day knowledge (if any) of what Turnbull actually does, you’ve decided he should go.

Personally, I’d rather trust the Board on recruitment than a self-centred fan who thinks he knows a lot more than anyone else.

FWIW I don’t know exactly what Turnbull does either.

[IronIronIron]

Can we please stop encouraging WG. Responding to his posts only encourages more, and more, of the same.

He will carry on until he is blue in the face repeating the same garbage.

Please, stop responding now!!

If he had any idea who the others are he would have told us, wouldn’t he?

Pineapple head. Can’t remember the guys name but had that same thought as soon as I saw the thread.

Pretty sure didn’t play for England though

He certainly didn’t.

To be fair, he is English & the thread doesn’t actually state they must have played international football……

The guy from Forest with the top knot – about 15 years ago. At centre forward.

He’s a must!

Did anyone expect anything other than a German win?

Yes, I was expecting a 0-0.

However, Germany were better than expected & Scotland were awful.

“With six fixtures now confirmed for the first team, there are a couple more to be announced to finalise the pre-season schedule. As soon as they’re confirmed, we will announce.”

That seems a punishing schedule considering the size of squad we’re expecting. Plenty of triallists maybe?

Looks like 7 games to me.

Some revisionist history going on here methinks.

Ogle was a very good player at this level. If he had all the attribute that have been listed above he would be on his way to the Euro’s!!

An excellent player for us the last couple of years. Committed, consistent and a good bit of pace.

Another 10 like that in the team, in their respective positions, and we would – as Burney said last year – “piss the league”.

He may well be missed.

The ground was never valued at £11M. IIRC it was valued at £5.5M.

Swann “wrote off” the £11M when he took the ground. He then sold it for £3M. An £8M loss.

He could have left the debt, and the ground with the Club. He could then have called in the £11M he was owed & bankrupted the Club. He would have claimed whatever value was raised from any sale of any assets. It could have been more than £8M, but it would probably have been less.

He was not a good Chairman at all. However, he could really gave shafted the Club big time if he had wanted to.

[IronIronIron]

A great loss to his family, his friends & many Iron fans. A truly great supporter. RIP.

Agree with most of that Fans but let’s not forget Swann took the ground having stated many times over the years that he would not do so.
Regarding the ground and Hilton the situation was the same when he left as it was when he arrived.

We should never forget what the pair of them did but do we really need to be giving Hilton the oxygen of publicly for his ramblings.

At least Swann keeps his mouth shut and doesn’t try and defend the indefensible.

I’m certainly not defending Swann, but I do feel that there is a different perspective to your viewpoint.

He transferred the ground to one of his comapies in return for writing off £11M debt (not getting into the arguement about who caused the debt!!). This also allowed us to carry on operating solvently.

He also sold the ground at a value which I believe, as did others, was below market value (agan, not getting involved in arguing the “real” value). He could have left us with the ground AND £11M debt and just walked away.

My view on Swann is that he had good intentions but was far too arrogant and conceited to listen to anyone who knew what they were doing. He always thought that he knew best – and probably still does.

Hilton is just a crook.

It’s not that I don’t like the thread, it’s the fact that it is incorrect.

[IronIronIron]

So it isn’t just plain wrong then. Delete the thread.

[IronIronIron]

It’s so easy to call anyone who criticises a fickle supporter.

It wasn’t because we lost on penalties that I am so disappointed.

It’s not the fact that we finished second after the scariest season of my life that I am openly critical.

Dean should not have been appointed in the first place. He should not have been allowed to take us into this season – although we still had Hilton them and nobody knew what was happening.

It’s the total lack of progression that makes me mad. We all know that we had the best squad in the league. Occasionally we played some great football – my mate from Oxford met met away at Banbury and said that we played like Brazil!!

Even Burney would have got us into the play-offs. So Dean has failed.

He is out of contract, so just let him go. Please find us someone with a proper Plan A and a structures Plan B. Two up top and proper substitutions.

Recommended for the staff – get a new manager.

[IronIronIron]

Gurney, we may well have sacked too many managers, but I believe that the majority of supporters were in agreement with all of them. After all, they were sacked for a reason.

Just because we have sacked a number of managers dies not mean we should stick with one who has produced some incredibly boring football and has failed to achieve what was asked of him. And he had money.

The next man will likely have a lot less money and just as great an expectation on him. And we may get it wrong. However, it would be negligent to stick with JD.

As for who, I personally don’t know. But there will be a fair number of current managers who would be keen to join us. They will believe that they will be the one to return us to the promised land. Let’s hope that we choose the right man (or Lady!!).

“a really nice guy and genuinely loves and wants the best for this football club”

There over 6,500 people like that at the game yesterday. I wouldn’t want any of them managing the team either!!

We need a fresh start with a fresh manager.

I will attend far less next season if JD stays as well. Mainly because his style bores me most of the time.
