Billy Sharp

[ironking]

Apparently wanted to sign before the start of this season, he would have scored 30 goals in this division, at least. He would also have been more cost effective than that 6ft:5 plum we did sign.

[sufc_not_on_tour]

Not strictly true, he wanted the managers job!

[ironking]

That makes it worse, we could have had an attack minded player-manager instead of Mr Cautious don’t lose at all costs Andy Bottler. Mr I would rather draw three 0-0 games for 3 pts then win one draw one lose one for 4 pts?

Those odd points would be telling now Mr Bottler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because he was turned down for the managers job he accepted a contract with Donny, because he was then under contract with them they refused permission for him to play in our legends game in case he received an injury.
That’s why he didn’t play in that game.

[Sanfran49]

Well this season we will never know what the outcome could have been and as yet we are still in with a chance via the play-offs should Kidderminster and Brackley get the right result on Saturday.

Sharp as manager, no thanks, he’d have been straight of to the first L2 club that fluttered eyes at him.
Who next? Beagrie? He can’t even get TV work ffs
If we’re talking ex players and coaches give Mark Lillis the managers job for once

[sufc_not_on_tour]

Mark Lillis, great character, his one managers job was Halifax town, received a brand new company car, 2nd day parked it outside the post office in Scotter, forgot to put the handbrake on and watched it roll down the hill and bury itself in a shop window.
A few of us were in the Sun and Anchor at the time, we did laugh.

If we are losing 64 grand a month how could we afford Billy Sharp? Wonder which person in the club revealed this supposed ” nugget “?

[Awaywego]

No one just Snot up to us old games.
How could anyone trust someone who said in one breath I’ve never been to Turkey and yet in another post saying he’d worked in Turkey.
Just because he owns a long kelme coaches coat doesn’t make him an employee.
Liar liar pants on fire.

I would not believe the loss of £64k a month.

We lost half a million pounds last year to June 2024.

In the summer of 2024 we let the management team leave and key players like Butterfield, Ogle and Elliott. We also renegotiated half of the squads contracts with the playing budget reducing from £1.7m to £1.1m

We also heard an Iron Bru podcast with Michelle Harness stating that the season ticket sales had gone well and shirt sales and that we have paid the debt down.

During the early part of this year, another podcast with two of the other directors stating that we are losing £64k a month, which is in complete contrast to what Michelle said in the summer.

Could it be that the directors do not know their annual profit or loss and instead are stating monthly cash flows?

The summer revenue is a lot higher than the rest of the year and similarly the months of January and February seem to have lower attendances due to the cold weather. The energy costs are also higher during the winter months.

Scunthorpe United are a small company so might not have monthly management accounts.

I would expect given the club to be breaking even over the year given the last set of accounts and the restructuring of the playing staff last year.

Thats interesting and got me thinking what would have been if he had been successful possibly coming in as player manager/coach…im guessing the style of play may have been a tad more attacking…
AR well see what the future holds alas i think AB n Co will be still here come KO next season

Correct, he wasn’t happy that he was turned down as well.

[Deereyme66]

It got me thinking it would probably have been a car crash.

I heard he once went to a Lincolnshire turkey farm to get his Xmas dinner and came back with a chicken.

You certainly don’t have to believe anything, is the earth round or flat?

[Sanfran49]

Well Mr Butler got his contract extension in October 2024, but can imagine there are clauses where termination could occur.

You could ask Katie Perry but she was looking in the opposite direction!

Neither, another dimension required.
