From what I saw at Curzon, the two lads supporting Butterfield in midfield left a lot to be desired – their passing was at best variable and neither ever looked to break beyond the forwards into the box. In a game like that, where the Iron dominate possession, I think we need 2/3rds of our midfield to offer more than just spoiling.

Good to know DH is prepared to speak to a journalist from time-to-time and well done to SST for getting some answers. It still feels concerning that the lack of information from the club has allowed rumours to flourish.

Considering the funding deficit this year and even more so the year after, closing the academy should have been the first decision.
I don’t know the detailed ins & outs of the finances of that part of the club (and I suspect you don’t either) but the claim made by our current leader that it hasn’t produced anyone saleable in a number of years seems to be incorrect. Also, if you produce a youth team player who can play in the first team you can avoid signing an external player. So that’s another way to offset the running costs.
I can understand that the owner would be looking to cut costs but when that’s balanced against the sheer number of signings (one of whom has immediately gone out on loan!) it does seem like a very short-term approach.

So is this another youth team product now with a football league team, even though the academy hasn’t produced any saleable players according to our current leader?

Lost any respect for him when he signed for Donny.
Signing on Fee whore.
What a ludicrous opinion.
Good luck to him in the States, bit of a change from Sheffield!
Solely for the benefit of Northumbiron.
Not just NI, not sure many of us have got the time to read between your many lines.
Do we know what this judgement relates to or do we have to look that up too?

Are you sure? Doesn’t sound like the sort of thing that………. Ah well, maybe. I expect it was the council being difficult, has to be their fault surely.
If you read the story I linked to above, you will see that is almost exactly the Coolsilk response.

Not enough players left due to red cards and injuries. More common in South America but I vaguely remember it happening here.
Famous Sheffield United v. West Brom.
Floodlights failing and electricity supply failure another 2. There must have been a bomb scare or 2 as well.
There was a Man United game called off for a bomb scare a couple of years ago but I think that was before kick off, rather than an abandonment.
