Swann owns the club , Coolsilk (which is also owned by the Swann family) owns the ground and all of the other assets.

So Swann still owns the club ?


This is a better link and is what Kieran Maguire alluded to the other day.

Scunthorpe United is controlled by Coolsilk Property & Investment Ltd which is controlled by Coolsilk Ltd which is controlled by the Swann family (Karin seems to have the most shares).

Short answer is Peter, Karin and their/his son own it ultimately.

Can't say I'm bothered who owns them.

I just want to see us going in the right direction while they have their time in the dungeon. Time we had a bit of role reversal, then set our sights on Lincoln.

It takes a very wholesome man to say they take no pleasure in seeing Scunny drop through the basement door with such a pathetic whimper.

That man is not I.

Despite my attempts at not raising a smirk, I've laughed like a flipping drain at their demise. That's football. They gave it, now they have to take it. Football goes in cycles and they'll rise again and I dare say with ample opportunity to goad us again.

Objectively I'd perhaps rather them be in League Two next season with us, watching as we achieve promotion. But I'll take opening up a giant gap between the two clubs.

I can't, however, feel anything but sympathy and concern for them as a football club. Relegation is one thing, they genuinely look like their actual existence is in danger. No club deserves to be lost forever.

But for the grace of God and all that...

Scunthorpe’s relegation from the EFL means that there are now only two clubs in the top 4 divisions with swear words in their name:

Arsenal, and F*cking Leeds 🙂

Am I right in thinking that OG is their top scorer this season?

That’s correct. Swann tried to sell him to make a few quid back.

Some ominous tweets by “flat caps n Bovril” today. Who I’ve always thought seems a credible and decent lower league football fan (even if he does support Scunny!)

Seems to be genuine, genuine concern about their imminent future.

Wish them all the best in that respect


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx
