Is that a post complaining about negativity? Seems a bit negative.
I have created a business model that is now sustainable and I have asked for nothing in return.
Would be really interested to hear some more detail behind that, particularly given the raft of signings and the fact that, to date, as a fanbase we are not aware of the sale of GP to Hilton being completed. David, if you are reading this, can you explain how we are able to be sustainable without owning a ground and with so many new signings? Thanks in advance!

Fans won’t embarrass the club, arseholes will, was it ever thus. I will put my tin hat on and await the Awaywego response. 😂
I appreciate the sentiment and kind of agree with it but if those arseholes have SUFC badges on, then they represent the club whether we like it or not.

About 12 years ago, I was in the Tamworth end at Blundell Park watching them fight back to draw 2-2 with Grimsby.
I had a spare weekend because Scunthorpe were in the Championship and it was an international break.
How times change…

Why ?. We have 2 somewhat proven strikers and Poulter as the 3rd option. Not enough firepower.
Are you aware that we will be playing in the sixth (6th) tier of English football next season? You might have to get used to slightly different standards when it comes to things like squad depth.

Very thoughtful and balanced piece which Mr White has responded to in a fair amount of detail…on Facebook.
Telling people exactly what they want to hear has also been a successful approach to PR.

Since when did Scunthorpe United signing NL/NLN players become ‘splashing the cash’?
I can’t imagine Boreham Wood, Kings Lynn, Altrincham, York, Eastleigh etc are big spenders!
You reckon encouraging players to drop down a level or 2 and move to Scunthorpe won’t require a premium in wages?

I am Peter Swann
No, I’m Peter Swa…
Actually, even as a joke, I can’t bring myself to write that!

Maybe it’s the miserable bar stewards that haven’t one good word to say about the club they say they support.
This is a more interesting comment that some might think.
I’d definitely come under the “Hilton-sceptic” camp here but it is not because I haven’t got one good word to say about the club. It’s precisely the opposite. It’s because I care about the club that I will always question those running it. What are their intentions, what are their motivations, what is their background? Because I want what’s best for the club and I don’t want its name to be dragged through the mud. Look at what the last 10 years have done to us: we’re a complete laughing stock and even when we were flying higher under Swann we were deeply unpopular around the leagues for splashing the cash & a chairman who picked so many arguments with people in the game. I want Scunthorpe United to be respected as a club, not just for its achievements on the pitch, but for what it means to the town, for its youth teams, for its social engagement, in general for doing things the right way.
I found it almost impossible to proud of the club under Swann and I don’t want to feel that way again. Hilton, for me, has got off on completely the wrong foot and has made many of us very sceptical. It’s on him now to change that perception.
Ultimately, I’m an optimist and want what’s best for the club. I don’t want us to go the way of Bury, Darlington, Chester, or many other non-league clubs. I want a Scunthorpe United we can all be rightly proud of.
Up the Iron, up with questioning.
