Here we go....Ask Marinerian

Dear MarinerIan,
I am a successful business man with some excess cash that is burning a hole in my off shore tax haven.  

I was considering making a large investment in a English Football Club. A club that was recently in the second tier of English football but has recently suffered major decline. A club that has a shite hole of a stadium, broken down and ruined through years of neglect, but conversely it's capacity can hold more than the number of fans it will ever see there, even if we drew Manchester United in the FA CUP.
The fans of this club are a bunch of miserable sods, who despite all the money I would pump in to ensure the clubs survival, will female dog and complain about my decisions.
A club that is currently in freefall down the league without a bungy rope attached.

So should I invest In Scunthorpe United? or is my tax haven cash better spent on wine, women, sex, drugs and rock n roll?

regards
Sheik MaBu Bys

Dear Sir,

please lets not tar all Town fans with the same brush. Most want to see town succeed but after more than 10 years of utter shite still follow and cheer Town on.

During the last persons ownership the club as you rightly mention has fallen through England footballing pyramid structure.

I feel Town fans have a right to moan especially as the last owner contradicted his statements so many times, therefore making it hard to understand the truth and real motives behind decissions of running a football club.

Fans are customers and they want to see their club do well, when all ios not good and the standard of results is below poor, the fans are likely to voice their opinion.

Never under estimate GTFC fans, they travel well to support their club and often take more support to away games than many league One teams!

With some pride insalled at Blundell Park and one the club shows some form to shout about, the fans will be back cheering on the Mighty Mariners.

Also times are hard on the supporters pockets, it is hard to justify paying £14 plus for 5th tier football especially as we have been so poor on the pitch for so long.

Things are looking to change. We have to hungry managers who are trying hard to change so much at the club and despite a rocky start we are only 7 points off the top of our league. A good run and we could be right up their.

Your comments on Scunthorpe upsets me. It is full of gypsies, foriegners and aids ridden smack heads, they get similar crowds to us despite being 2 divisions above. Their fans are very good runners though, one even ran from Grimsby to Scunthorpe because he was scared of Grimsby folk! In general they will run, they are the UK 's version of a Frenchman.

Hope this helps

Am I showing early signs of erectile dysfunction/libido loss, or is the Mansfield bird actually just properly minging and almost everyone else plain wrong?

I wasn't present on Tuesday and I feel the fans have the right to let out their frustration, least it wasn't at the players or coaches
