Quoted from It Bites


The Clincher for me was when one of our directors said May didn't do anything that bad . That made my mind up the our Directors were not the sort of people I wanted to be associated with a football club that is the heartbeat of the community


Not just a director, a retired solicitor who put £3k of his own money in to become Chairman.

Quoted from HertsGTFC
I worry for the true supporters of Scunthorpe United. Their team looked doomed to another relegation unless a miracle worker comes in to take the managers job. Financially they're in a mess and I just wonder if there are more skeletons in the cupboard.

They say they have had an offer for the club excepted but who is the interested party and do they have the best interests of the club at heart. As long as any new owner can tell the NL that the ball is round and you start the game with 11 players then you'd expect that "governance"" would not be allowed to get in the way.

You could say that when they where doing well their support lapped it up and now should take the rough with the smooth regardless but clearly one man has once again put a football club that means something to 2,000 or so people in real jeopardy, surely that can't be right..    

  

    


That could have scuppered our new owners before they started.

If the football is bad you can always watch the gulls.

I suspect that the interested bidder will be back when he/she has secured the funds.  I think shifting half a dozen copies of the big issue should just about do it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see negotiations go public if he's playing the kind of games that man he's nothing like used to play.

Listen to him when Ollie Turner mentions Neil Cox though...
