The comparisons between us last year and Scunny this are valid in my opinion, although for different reasons They do seem to be in that downward spiral that's tough to escape. The manager is clearly not up to the job and the supporters appear to have given up looking at the numbers. If the owner was showing the slightest interest in their plight they could hold some hope, but he seems to have gone awol and they appear to be drifting to the cliff edge collectively I honestly don't know if I feel sorry for them or I'm deliriously happy at their situation but probably erring towards sympathy. All in all it makes NE Lincs look like a joke and a hopeless backwater and as a proud Grimbarian that's not good
SCUNTHORPE IS IN NORTH LINCS, not N E LINCS !!!

I can't help thinking though, that if Swann wants out, the Scunts are are far more attractive proposition to a potential buyer with their league status than without. So it would make sense for him to try and keep them up. But a club with no assets and a poor squad is highly unlikely to appeal to many. I can't see Swann getting anything like the £19 million he had sunk into the club back. He'd be doing well to get 10% of that back I imagine.
Bradford were able to but their way to safety last January, sadly we didn't. However, if the transfer embargo remains in place in January, they will have to make do with their existing squad which will be difficult. Maybe a new manager will be able to get more out of them?

The term 'Flogging a dead horse comes to mind'. Transfer embargo problems, an owner that doesn't want to invest anymore, and 8 goals in 13 games. It's not impossible to stay up but more than likely it's relegation. The sad thing is we won't have a local Derby as we'll be promoted. UTM

I tuned in to Humberside to listen last night, Scunny's keeper saved a penalty, made 3 or 4 "worldie" saves and pretty much from the point of Scunny scoring they parked the bus. An equaliser was inevitable, and lucky to hold on to the single point overall. A point may boost their confidence a little but the quality sounded very thin

I think quality in Scunthorpe, in general, is pretty thin!

But it’s a start isn’t it. I wouldn’t rule them out.

No, I want their fans to experience the pain and humiliation of relegation into non-league.
