It depends on how much the new owners are willing or able to subsidise.

Going off the figures in the public domain- Currently, we are approximately 70k short of paying the wage bill and that doesn’t includes servicing the debt nor operational costs. It a safe assumption we are losing 100k a month.

How long can that go on for? Crowds will not cover the costs unfortunately.

I believe that you have just answered your own question.

Has anything really changed?

We still don’t have an owner that can and is willing to bankroll us.

It looks as if we are still heading for the buffers?

Tbh Rene, there’s not a lot of info available right now.

Just waiting and hoping we get third time lucky.

I may have missed something but why the animosity towards Max?

He used his twitter account to whip up abuse towards MB, ME and others claiming “we” were the problem in the Hilton Era. to put it shortly.

So can we get another performance like tonights on Saturday, lets hope so. By the way, is Jimmy back in the dug out ???, bet he enjoyed this game after his spell in hospital.

Well done everyone, and good luck to our new boss Michelle and her board members.

Chris Plummer must be taking the team I don’t think Jimmy is in a state to do so…

[CMC]

Agree, a good listen on top of the result and the cherry on the cake Updates from John Tondeur about the poison dwarf losing another game.

[CMC]

2-0 up so far so good..

“This is Hilton’s squad”

I thought Jimmy chose the players?

It’s the same in Peterborough. Broadway is where they hang out, smoking,drinking, taking things, whatever gets them through the day.

They look after each other(unless they fall out). Not much you can do if that’s their life.

I’d cancel your buses, nobody has a clue what is going on at the moment.

Been a couple of times since it opened, but can’t do the Tuesday night.

Away fans have a bit of seating and terracing down the side. You can get a pint in the seated stand along with some decent food.

It wasn’t on twitter, was on the scunthorpe utd fans Facebook page.

Who kept deleting threads about it trying to cover it up and pretend it never happened

So they’re Racist as well?

I wouldn’t come out and say “We need this”…like any Real estate deal,there could be all sorts of spanners in the works thrown in.

A “Builder” type fund – like what Darlington have done for the playing staff – would be an idea. There’s also fans who live in bigger towns than Scunny and may have the means to contribute. don’t rule that out.

Just to go back to KVV … I still occasionally find myself mulling over his winner at Grimsby. And that ‘disgraceful’ celebration. For that alone he’ll surely live long in the memory of Iron fans. Then I just have to have another You Tube peek. ….That’s what I’ll do now.

We might have seen more of KVV had MK’s Favourite manager not kept him on the bench ahead of superstars like Jamie Proctor.

[CMC]

If it wasn’t a catchy tune most would ignore it and carry on celebrating the goal.

First thing for the new boss. change the music, get some of Mark Donaldson’s stuff on there.

Surely the Brian Laws lounge is the only appropriate name change. Our legendary ex-manager who took us from the depths of league 2 to the most envied small club in the country. We owe him some sort of honour to show our gratitude for his service.

The Nigel Adkins lounge it is then.

The haven’t been owners a day yet so give them a chance to sort it out, Hilton wasn’t given it rightly or wrongly, I know Simon and Roj pretty well to talk to and they are both Iron through and through, met Michelle once and I know she is a Iron as well, let us just let them sort it in their own way and stop jumping to conclusions, they will know the priorities, let us just call them the dream team

As already stated, Michelle has Scunthorpe United in her blood, along with a proven track record of success with this club working professionally and tirelessly to bring in much needed revenue under a number of “regimes”. The least we can all do is support her and refrain from all of the inane, childish and sexist comments contained within other threads on this site. For those who think it’s funny to make crass jokes about anyone because of their sex is beyond the pale and I would ask all moderators to review said posts, remove them and issue a statement of intent going forward. Let’s not allow Irun Bru to descend to the depths of any form of sexist behaviour or commentary.

Michelle – I wish you good luck and every success in your new role.

And where are these comments SDH57?

[CMC]

I won’t get to the Brackley game but 3 games stick out:

5-1 v Hereford, Scunny scoring five goals, we don’t normally do this.
3-2 loss to Wigan the year they went up, more for the Wigan Fans being tossed out.
Play off Semi Final v Swansea.

An owner and manager you could trust would be nice!

Nobody at all who has sided with Hilton against fans should ever be allowed near the boardroom or terraces, the disgusting abuse aimed at some of my/our friends and others on here and other platforms thanks to their dog whistles, using their elevated position amongst fans is in my opinion the worst thing to come out of this short Hilton era

My guess is you’re referring to the potential of Simon taking over? If so, I’d have to say I agree. It’s not something I’d want, after the way things have gone in the last several months. Browbeating people to support Hilton.

I’ve always thought he was playing politics to elevate his position – right from his early days when he appeared out of nowhere and was suddenly everywhere, courting popularity. Not sure he’s got any money anyway – looked to me like Sharp was useful to him at the right time.

The ambulance chasing photo on Twitter tonight (him with a hospital bed bound JD) kind of says it all, for me, and was the end of it as far as any benefit of the doubt is concerned. It felt like a cynical political campaign manoeuvre. Don’t trust him, I’m afraid.

He seemed to leave Ireland fairly quickly after setting up shop and bringing a couple of his mates to work over there.

See that Matt and Marco are going to the club to see about distributing the funds to club staff…
Great work
