Conference Scunny in trouble

Scunthorpe United deal collapses - Swann back looking for buyer

The Iron are bottom of the National League after picking up four points from their first eight matches of the season

Their takeover has hit problems and they are at real risk of not only falling through the Conference but, at the least, of going into admin.

Scunny have finally been taken over so hopefully on a secure financial footing now:

Takeover

We warmly welcome long-standing Scunthorpe United supporters Ian Sharp and Simon Elliott to the Football Club. Both have worked tirelessly to secure the future of the Iron and after many long hours have finally achieved their goal by agreeing a deal with Mr Swann.

Your commitment to Scunthorpe updates is admirable.

New owners have some serious work to do - they're currently bottom of the National League, six points from safety having lost six in a row.

It was only 12 years ago that they were playing in the Championship!

We went from the Championship to the Conference in nearly half that time.

Amateurs.

Yeah, but we never made it to the Conference North/South. They may be one-upping us this year.

It is really sad as they seemed a decent club.
