I know Swann’s been full of shite for the most part but he said he hoped it would go through before the season starts. All those things you mention Deerey have been sorted already. Well that was the impression I got the other day.
People may think I’m nuts for believing Swann on this but his ego has took a big hit and I’m telling you now, without a shadow of a doubt he wants out.
The people who have agreed a fee for the club would have gone through thos details already I would have thought. Been in discussions for months and rejected to bids due to not covering wages in with the fee so they will know “whoever they are” know exactly what they’re buying.
Swann has been full of it for the most part but I do really think deep down he wants out. No way his ego will keep him here, he knows he fucked up and knows people see him for what he is, A somewhat dodgy failure.
‘it’s not easy’ that’s all he says about everything – the fans, the flats, the road, the players
My favourite quote was ‘don’t you dare put me in the mould of Fenty’ and then he went on to say he’s put 20mil in (which I don’t know if is true)
Seems a shame if he has and you haven’t anything to show for it in regards to the infrastructure of the club, apart from ‘chip van’ he started to go on about – is it any good?Hopefully the takeover goes through

He might change his mind like he did about who is responsible for sacking the manager if results don’t go well.

Yeah he did say that, but judging by that interview they will be attending every game then.

He kept go on and on how you ‘top out’ at 4000 fans as well.
Well no probably not, I would love to see someone take over and the gates shoot up (like it has without Fenty and his negativity, saying ‘well we have a ceiling and we have to live within our means’)
He didn’t once say thank you to the fans in that interview, and literally our lady CEO who is lovely is saying that to the fans and staff all the time – it’s surprising how far it goes.
He seems to love the flats though, but I didn’t understand his maths ;it was pretty scrambled like the whole interview.

Knowing our recent luck it’ll be Fenty.
he would spend twenty years trying to build you a new stadium and then when realise he can’t cut it and ask for his benign loans to be repaid so he ends up making some cash over his tenure…. There are so many similaritys between Fenty and Swann but that interview made me think Swann is on a different level. I think the most obvious thing in common between them two is they were/are /never will be actual fans of the clubs, I hope you get taken over and the new custodians are actually fans of Scunthorpe Utd.

GP is a future building site, wake up and smell the coffee people.
jesus that was another thing he started ranting about saying how it was sands stadium or something and slagging of the fans some more , honestly couldn’t keep up with that interview
He’s worse than Fenty I reckon at least he was consistent during the course of that interview he must have contradicted himself 10 times and it ended up a rambling at the fans and telling everyone how he put 20mil in and doesn’t want it back (although you can tell he is pretty bitter about it) said that you have a budget to challenge but then said you don’t have the attendances to challenge? Then went on a rant about why would anyone want to buy the club when all the chairman gets is grief ; but is trying to sell the club :the guy is more of a head tuck than the worst girlfriend when you are eighteen, it’s just mad.
Think ours were £22,always thought your season tickets were a bargain ours have always been about £100 dearer whatever league the two clubs have been in.

If you need to stream any i used cricfree last season it randomly seemed dead good for the national league games and there wasn’t any glitches /buffering.

You will get used to it with the NL games move all over time and date wise it’s a pain in the arse if you need to book trains etc, they even left it to a few weeks before to confirm where the play off final would be if Tinpot is apt for anything it’s the administrators of the NL

Hopefully you get new owners who are actually fans of the club like we have.
We watched our club decay for 20 years and if his masterplan for the next few years had come to fruition we would have been gone, probably starting a phoenix club.
Theres always hope and when (hopefully soon Swann relinquishes control, you will get some people in who love the club and not just use it as a play thing)
When this happens the fans will return no doubts.

Boreham Wood did well and had a great cup run, Dagenham very close to a play off spot and Wealdstone and Maidenhead held there own – I was more trying to make the point that lower attendances and lower budgets don’t always necessarily mean its an excuse to not do well /sign decent players which I fear for you Swann is using it as

The national league isn’t all bad though I love ‘proper’ old school grounds and there is plenty of great days out to be had

Going to watch the game today not sure who want to win. Solihull thrown a lot of money at it a very good side. Maybe if you bring in a few next season you will be okay. Every game is a battle though and having a load of kids playing in this would be a disaster, dover sort of did that and were getting heavily beaten most games.Theres a lot of lumps who lump it
