Reply To: Goodbye Keith

[KEEP BELIEVING]

ITS ALL DOWN HILL. All football managers know that football is a results business. Keith Hill took the job knowing full well what he was getting himself into. Now that he has failed to deliver why do some people jump to his defence saying that he has had no decent players to manage. Hill is the one who sold us the merits of the players he brought in to supposedly save the day As always we gave these players the benefit of doubt. Never did we think they were going to be world beaters but we lived in hope they were going to make us better than Barrow ,Carlisle ,Stevenage ,Oldham & Colchester. Now that the lads have not performed Hill has changed his tune & is now saying individually & collectively we are not good enough. The fact is I cannot stand seeing his laid back managerial attitude on the sidelines. He doesnt want to give the players a bollocking because it might destroy the confidence of the players. Clearly the arm around the shoulder approach is not having an effect. I have seen Sunday League teams better organised. Keith, football is supposed to be an entertainment ” Wake up & smell the roses ” What you are giving the paying fans is plain shite” A 7% win rate tells you so. Its clear to see that Hill, Peter Swan & Will Swann have made a right horlicks of recruitment. Do I really believe SUFC will be a force to be reckoned with next year. Not a cat in hells chance. Even LT didnt inspire confidence by saying that Will Swann & Hill will sort next years recruitment out with input from him if he is asked. Hill has shown us 2 wins in 28 games. Once upon a time watching Scunthorpe was a joy now the only excitement is when we get over the half way line.
I am sick of Keith Hills pre match & post match psycho babble always tinged with positive spin. I am also sick of individual players coming out with the cliche ” We need to look long & hard at ourselves” yet there is no change. I hope that when & IF new owners are found they have a complete clear out & start from scratch. Something is seriously wrong with the club but nobody will speak out. Everyone wants to be pals. Look where that has led. Lets have some honesty. The players who are not good enough need to be told & moved out. The manager needs to be told he is not good enough & shipped out. But I suppose if that happens we wont get to see Keiths secret plan. It must be Top Secret because nobody knows what it is. Just like our football style ” Make it up as you go along”
Here we are dropping out of the football league & what is being done on & off the pitch to encourage fans to return next year. NOTHING !! Its sad to think that I will be one of the Scunny 1000 faithful next year. But on a positive note I might be able to get a pie before the game starts.
