Scunny takeover gets closer. Good for them.


S****horpe United have moved a step closer to a takeover after a local group headed by Simon Elliott and Ian Sharp agreed a deal to buy the club.

The next step will be for the group to follow due diligence procedures and begin the transfer of the ownership.

Owner Peter Swann confirmed the deal would allow the club to pay staff wages, which are currently outstanding.

"[It will] ensure the long-term future of the football club with new investment," he told the club website.

Swann, who has been in charge at S****horpe since 2012 but had a sometimes strained relationship with fans, resigned as chairman in March stating he felt it would improve the chances of attracting interested parties.

BBC Radio Humberside confirmed a deal from a London-based group had fallen through earlier this week through failure to provide proof of funds.

Mace-Face also said they, (The Broz), were a ''level above'' the likes of the Trewster and WhipNob when it comes to providing investment for NCFC, very interesting. What caught my attention is that Mace-Face seemed very confident of his statement, hmmmmmm.........
