He'll be cupping his ear next........ I could just about live with Lincoln getting promoted if the Scunts got relegated.

Without his money they would be stuffed think he's putting in 3 million a year ,L1 is a tough league football has changed the only money you really get is in the Prem and Championship.
L1& L2 TV payments are not a lot.
He sounds like the club has no connection between the Town and the club that's crucial ,it really is sad to see people wearing Prem tops instead of their home town club no matter who the club for me.
You need a lot of momentum and money to push on in L1 even with money Scunny are failing.

What's Swann's connection with Scunthorpe anyway, did he just stick a pin in the map ?

Shame the pin didn't go in slightly more east !!!

Statements like "spoilt" sound quite familiar, and at times he talks like an ex player, doesn't money make you say and do weird things. As for him picking us, in some ways I think we are better off with Fenty, " better the devil you know" .

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Team in league 1 or one struggling in league 2 and spent (wasted 3 million pounds) in 6 years in non league?

I particularly liked the bit about " Punching above our weight "! FFS , they are only league 1. That's like admitting that League 2 (or lower) is their natural position - which, of course, we all know is true.

I think we and they know that without his money (or his wifes so I hear), they would be in a similar position to us. That is their natural position, we are towards the bottom end of league 2 due to having our statistically worst owner since 1878 and we are punching well below our natural weight.

Can't wait until our club wakes up and parity is restored. I hear the Scunny owners have stopped shovelling money in to falsely prop them up, is that right?

You would fear for them and survival if they did a Town/Lincoln and fell into Non League with their fanbase for a few years. I don`t recall even when Scunny have been doing well that they have had decent away followings or exceptional home gates.They now seem to be on or around the 3000 home fans which is less than GY and given the two Clubs respective past 15 years it`s quite incredible. I think the GY and Imps gates both dipped around 1k to the lowest point for Scunny that would be catastrophic.Would we take the p1ss

I would 'fear for them' about as much as they feared for us when we slipped through the net. Having lived near there I've noticed they show far more passion against GTFC than they do for supporting their own team. Odd but true.

That's true we dipped to around 2k ,could see them dipping below that 1,500.

“If I took that attitude we would be in trouble, so if you want me to invest in the club, you must invest also and that is by turning up, buying a ticket, buying the food and drink on offer. I have asked no more of you regardless of the football played and it keeps people employed.”

I bet they don't sell Chessburgers though .
