Our favourite super-mod (who is eerily quiet, in stark contrast to the gloating and petty squabbling post-Leamington) loves an X quote so here’s a couple of views from prominent members of the SUFC community.
Matt Ellis Iron Bru podcast host and Iron Trust board member:
‘The badge had been disgraced today. Why save a club to then bring that to the fans. Butler is on thin ice, and if he isn’t, he fucking needs to be. Disgraceful, embarrassing. #UTI’
Loyal IRON fan FlatCapsNBorvil:
‘Under Butler I genuinely don’t think we’ll even make top 7. Get a new bloke in who knows what he’s doing, fast.’
And
‘Looking around today I’ve never seen so many glum faces. Young and old, heads shaking wondering what the hell is going on. Crowds will continue to plummet sadly. We’re Scunthorpe United FFS, we do have a way of playing and this most certainly isn’t it. Worrying times ahead.’
Iron Bru Podcast:
‘Like watching two huge turds sliding down the pan.’
And
‘I don’t think Butler will turn it around. He’s a busted flush and Curzon are threatening to run away with it. It is simply a matter of when, not if, he gets the boot.’
With the latter quote in mind the new manager will have some serious work to do. Going to inherit a lop-sided squad with few (fit) wide options. We’ve taken some giant strides backward in terms of the teams footballing ability. Butler has managed to coach good footballers (for NLN) into players unable to make simple 6 yard passes. Jimmy-ball now seems like a distant dream. Automatic promotion seems like a mountain to climb but would not be impossible if the board act swiftly!
