DONT GET TO EXCITED YET! Swanny once again trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes by “stepping down” but lee turnbull is being put in the firing line now. I like turnbull alot hes passionate about the club and should have always been our scout but i fear now this is just another similar move to what elliot was put into. Dont be fooled because fenty did this at the cods as well. Until i see a statement saying he has SOLD the club then we are still staring up shit street.

I expect lee turnbull to take cribb to peterborough in the near future especially with the dale tonge connection.

Are we going to actually make this happen then because i would be up for it and we need to start acting now. Im not just on about a one off game either i think it needs to happen at every home game from now.

Well done for seeing sense simon and thankyou for trying to give our club a glimmer of hope with your efforts. You deserve far better and i can only hope/wish that you could put a consortium together to give us our club back.

I fully agree and im surprised as a fan base nothing has really been done so far. Look at clubs like oldham and southend with fans showing some togetherness to stand up to another clown ruining their football club. Its about time and long over due we all stood together and show that enough is enough. We are another bury fc in the making and our club is rotten to core! I hope something can be seriously arranged because we are losing our football club from right under our noses and its took the absolute piss. Im fuming to say the least and every podcast i hear with swann i feel is another insult to the fans!
SWANN OUT!

If I remember correctly, initially Swann told us that the ground was transferred to Coolsilk to repay the £11,000,000 gambling debt he amassed chasing his vanity project of being a Championship chairman. This then changed in a later statement to “we did it so we could gain investment for the development projects, and when complete would be transferred back into club ownership.”.
As we’re not seeing any news or action in the way of investment / development it would appear to me that Swann has zero intention of actually following through on the second statement, thus the transfer of ownership is nothing more than a land grab (IMO).
We have to also consider the fact that despite the severe cost cutting measures, the club is likely running at a loss again this season, and will likely do the same again next season. If the losses continue unabated there will be a time in the not so distant future where the creditors will come knocking for their money, and if the club is unable to pay, Scunthorpe United could be forced into insolvency. If / when that happens Coolsilk / Mr Swann will be left with the stadium and surrounding land, and with no football club to drain his resources,he would be free to develop the land in whatever way he sees fit.
In short, I fear we a royally screwed.
Sadly were another bury fc its just a matter of time.

This is just another move to TRY get fans back onside the same reason elliot was brought back in. Until swann has gone im not interested and as for that podcast they just get worse listening to the same old excuses and sorry matt i know you have to be careful not to upset him but i thought you were to soft at times but i appreciate you trying to get some sort of answers. When will he relise its not covid thats stopped fans coming back its him! We have turned into the laughing stock of the efl!

Is SWANN trying to have a laugh at supporters expense!!!! He didn’t want to survive in the football league in my opinion. Why do you think we have been playing the sixteen year old, sold Loft with no fit replacement, let Hyppolyte go and Green. Weird team formations and then yesterday sold Manny. Simon Elliott was on the radio before the match yesterday and said it wouldn’t have made any sense paying the
loan off as it will be wiped off in June. That’s SWANN talking. He’s just a SWANN front man to take the heat off SWANN. They obviously don’t value football league status whatsoever. Then Elliott said we will have an increased budget next season. Who on earth believes that. SEASON TICKETS they’re certainly having a laugh alright!!!!This is why simon elliot was brought back into the club for someone else to sit and take the crap for people at the top who are ruining the club. I think its an utter pisstake they are advertising season tickets i personally wouldnt go if they were free! The heart and soul has been completely stripped from the club and its so sad because we built up a reputation as a well run, well respected club with fans who couldnt wait to go football on a tuesday/saturday to see a team who always gave everything. I will always be grateful for steve wharton for keeping a steady ship and brought us the good exciting times along with the best memories. Its heartbreaking what swann has done and while he is still at the club i wont be stepping foot in the sinking sands stadium and id like to think others will do the same. We need him out of our club its simple as that!

I did say after the rotherham playoffs defeat the club would go to pot and its sadly gone that way. Swann needs to go now enough damage has been done and the fans who love this once proud club are suffering. Its an absolute embarrassment and we are simply a laughing stock. I wouldnt be surprised if we drop again next season either because it will only get worse while swann has hold of our club. SWANN OUT!

The whole thing has got panic stations all over it and quite frankly i think we will just fall short and live to regret not acting quicker along with signing utter crap at the start of the season. The likes of grant and feeney will try give us a glimmer of hope but ultimately the damage has been done over the last 3 or 4 years.

Certain managers HAVEN’T been the problem at this club its the people above but yet again the managers are the easy blame for people who fail to see the bigger picture behind.

We need our club back before this mess gets even worse! Come on swanny do the right thing! We were once a proud little club who bigger clubs had nothing but good things to say about us but now we are a laughing stock on a complete downward spiral into non league.

Same old dross today im just glad i didnt waste more money watching it. When will people relise things are only going to get worse under these clowns who are ripping the club apart? I think signing an experienced keeper was a must i personally would have got joe murphy back for another year or two hes someone who commands the back four. A right back is needed because pugh is just another hornshaw i feel but yet the club see different somehow then even play him out of position. We also need a pacey winger and a poacher type of striker who can play off loft. Teams dont have to come and work hard for the 3 points we make it so easy for them. Swindon have quality where it counts and in anthony grant and jack payne they are far better than our shambles.

As I’ve said before the thought of SUFC fans protesting makes me shudder. Total disrespect to the English Football Pyramid and the other 23 teams in league 2.
Since when have SUFC been that club that demands it should never struggle in whatever league it plays in.
We’ve had bad times in the past and we’ll have bad times again in the future. That’s football.
Disgusting idea.
The only disgusting thing is uptheiron99 is that your still on here praising this chairman who is trying to pull the wool over the fans eyes and mugs like you feel like he is some saviour. Personally id rather start again in non league if need be with people who actually care about this football club and who wont rip it apart. Look how we were run before we were one of the best run clubs who players WANTED to come play for and give everything for this club now we are the total opposite. Fans who care for this club like they say they do actually need to make it known its OUR club and not someones experiment. SWANN OUT!
