Cox suggested on Humberside on Saturday pre match that at least some of the signings were not Dean’s choices.
It is obvious that neither Dean or Hilton had seen many of them in action simply because most were not playing for their clubs. Hilton admitted on the podcast interview that Thompson was his idea.
Perhaps more interestingly Cox became the first ex Iron manager from the Swann era to confirm our long held suspicions regarding the chairman’s influence on signings and team selection.
Little wonder we are in the sh1t.
Hilton, like all chairman needs to decide whose football opinion he trusts, be that Dean or someone else and let them get on with it.
