I saw the Hill interview in which he stated, due to his past experience it’s better/easier to pick up players right at the end of the window.
In other words you should expect to see players come in who are left, who basically nobody else wanted = The left overs.As you say WG there are huge problems with this approach. Apart from just having the dregs left there is a strong possibility that, during January, we will become less attractive week by week resulting in being significantly adrift by the end. We could also end up with players here for entirely the wrong reason from the Club’s viewpoint – “not bothered about playing for Scunny but it’s all I could get”. Dangerous but what else can Hill do without the chairmans help?

Whether people agree or disagree with UTI he has every right to offer his view without others slanging him off. Like UTI, I rarely post on here because of the abuse that comes whenever anyone holds a view that doesn’t meet with general approval. Is there any wonder, therefore, that UTI himself fights back.
No quarrel with anybody posting contrary views Bucks, as for the rest, to save you going back through this thread I reproduce below the start of UTI99’s initial contribution to a thread on which he has not previously been mentioned.
“You really are thick as….”
Fighting back or initial agression? Unnecessary either way.

Now I know why I didn’t post for months, it makes your eyes bleed the shite on here.
No, you didn’t post for months because you were asked “awkward” questions which you were unable to answer without weakening your position.

Just seen this as well:-
“Controversial Oldham Athletic owner Abdallah Lemsagam has opened talks with interested parties to sell the struggling League Two club”
“Interested PARTIES” plural – so there are buyers out there for the right club.

Not had the best of luck recently tempting these South coast loanees up here have we. Cordner and Vincent now in the NL, will Scrimshaw be heading the same way. Maybe we should look closer to home and get players used to Northern weather and lifestyle like Burns. Does the chief scout prefer to spend his time down south?

So says the poster who disappears for weeks/months when asked questions he can’t answer.

Simon Elliott organised free bus travel recently, the way he was repaid won’t encourage a similar gesture.

“with big ugly strikers who are old and whose fitness is in question – I’m struggling to recall too many successes.”
You’re right les, the failures come easily to mind:-
Iwelumo, Ormondroyd, Johnson, Horsfield, Davies, Henderson, Banger.Successes:- Baker and The Beast.
“Sources”????? He hasn’t played for 8 months, he won’t be fit until Easter.

Talking of info, Scunthorpe have put more tweets out than any other club in the world (until shown otherwise). So we can’t be all that bad on the info side that people make out.
Sadly much of the information tweeted concerns:-
Ticket sales
I-follow sales
Shop opening times
Restaurant opening
Mascot packages
Sponsorship opportunities
I know the commercial department have their job to do but don’t mistake the volume of tweets of a repetitive nature for the kind of other information that interests fans.3 users thanked author for this post.
