Capt, thanks for the kind words. The truth for us now is that we are in the most uncertain of times. The only certainty is the relegation. We don’t know where the future of the club will be. Are there actually buyers who wish to take onboard a club with no real assets and a debt that is likely beyond the means of most to repay? Will we have a ground to play in? There is nothing to stop Swann seeking the land as commercial, I’m sure there would be takers for that. Then what…?
The glory days, like those of Grimsby, were fantastic memories and mean at least as much to me as another trophy for Liverpool or one of the other big clubs. Flounders, Daws, Calvo-Garcia, Gayle… Mean nothing to most people outside of Scunthorpe but each of those lads brought something to the club and I’m grateful! This was before the Millennium bug was a thing!
Now, a squad bereft of quality, a youth policy that bears precious little fruit, a number of players who seem to compete… to spend time with the medical team and a senior leadership team that is offering precious little actual leadership. Many similarities to Town, but unfortunately I think we are scraping the barrel harder than your club did.
We will move on. Next year always brings hope, our hope is to stabilise and begin the journey of putting together a competitive team for our new level. The current squad would struggle to survive for sure.
