Will the whip round cash be reimbursed now then ? 🤣

Let's see what pops up next then for them.....one chapter ends.... another one begins.


No, but presumably it can now go into the club bank account given that it's in the hands of someone trustworthy and it will help pay things that are owing, such as September wages. One thing it did do was show supporter sentiment.

In the face of it, it seems great that the club is now the hands of people who appear to have good intentions, but this has all happened over a period of a few days so what due diligence has been carried out by the relevant authorities?

Michelle was Commercial Manager for 15 years. It's the equivalent of us being taken over by Dave Smith!

First task has to be to strike a deal with Swann, and then to start getting the finances under control. I suspect that a few high earners will have their names circulated very soon, in the hope of someone taking over their contract.

Presume Michelle Harness is just a front woman for the consortium.

Be interesting to see what deal they have/can work with Swann.

So relieved. Harness is one of several involved, I believe. More will become clear, I think. Harness has years of commercial expertise and is well liked, plus was on speaking terms with Hilton. I think they have been coy about others involved, so Hilton didn't start pulling tricks and trying to fall out with people.

I also believe that Swann is working with them on the ground. I know Elliott has been working with Harness, and has a frosty history with Swann, but I think Swann realises he screwed up for himself and is now willing to work with anyone. He will probably be motivated to get one over Hilton as well. People I know with 'in the know' information has it that Swann hates Hilton as much as Hilton sceptical Scunny fans do.

Listening to Simon Elliot you would imagine that Hilton has come out of this debacle as Mr Clean. If I was a Scunny fan I would, of course, be delighted that the club has apparently been saved. However I would still have some clear doubts as to Mr Elliot’s role in it all, and would love to know what he knew about Hilton before The Athletic’ article.

Elliott got quite aggressive when asked if the consortium had the means to pay, and Scunthorpe fans deserved to know.

Does this mean we can now go back to hating the caravan dwelling, sister banging, traveller b@stards?

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I hope they get through this period but my gut feeling is this ‘takeover’ is not the end by a long way . I think the commercial lady is just a name and nothing more (no money) . They need to reduce the wage bill somehow to help balance the books and secure the ground , otherwise I still don’t see them seeing the season out

They have got Mr Wham out of the picture. That is a step in the right direction.
