    So the owner and saviour of Scunthorpe United has today started banning fans who criticise him over social media, such fans include a man who goes with his 13 year old son and the person who runs their version of the BBS.

    Its caught a lot of attention here, is this fair by the owner or a complete overreaction and abuse of power by an out of touch chairman?

    Just seen alleged this reply to one fan on Twitter


    “Do you think I give two *****
    what your spastic fans think? There to stupid to do anything about anything. You and the rest of the idiots can buy the club because it will not get another penny from me. It can die for all I care and then lets see whos laughing.”

    The irony of suggesting people are “too stupid” without being able to spell correctly. Sounds a delight.

    I want to know how a convicted fraudster is allowed to own a football club in the first place

    Apparently because it was spent it wasn’t taken into account

    The Scunny owner said his convictions were 'spent' under the Rehabilitation of offenders Act 1974 and so he passed the Football Association’s Owners’ and Directors’ test.

    The FA’s declaration for EFL club owners and directors allowed them to remain quiet about 'spent' convictions for dishonest acts until a rule change this Summer. New rules introduced this summer for Football League clubs have required directors to declare if they have two or more fraud convictions, spent or not.

    These new rules do not yet cover non-league clubs!

    I'm pretty sure small football clubs are just the next rung up from barbershops and Chinese takeaways in money washing circles.

    Fairly interesting video below about the issues Scunthorpe have encountered.

    Surely this isn’t real. I really hope that text is a joke and made up to cause a stir.

    If not, the FA need to step in immediately. They’re the governing body, they have a duty to intervene, seen it’s their ‘fit n proper’ test that’s failed these fans.

    Multiple failed business, a criminal record for fraud, a history of mental instability, and seemingly no verifiable cash flow. Sounds like a solid enough chap to own a football club.

    Scunny sounds like it's being run akin to a hand carwash getting its utilities supplies from a boarded up pub.

    The game is shot to pieces with endemic cheating both on and off the pitch and the football authorities have allowed it to happen. Partly, no doubt because they're afraid of big clubs setting up their own league or litigating against meaningful punishments but you also have to suspect that there's a lot of money going into the back pockets of a number of administrators.

    Whilst what you say is absolutely true, the impression I get is that at the lower levels there's no need to even grease anyone's palms as there's very little regulation, or it's very lax. I could be wrong, but that's the way it seems looking in from the outside.
