I think the bigger picture is the fact that a huge news corporation will pay a huge amount of money out rather than air it’s dirty laundry in a courtroom. The internal memos and WhatsApp’s flying around Fox News over the last few years stating that they had to protect their business model over telling their American audience the truth is quite staggering. Their share price will only drop a small amount and they are cash rich to the sum of around $4 billion dollars but at the end of the day they are a news organisation that the wider American public ( not their right wing paying customers) now know that Fox News are a politically lying news organisation, that will count to the swing voters who represent the most important vote in the majority of elections worldwide. There is also another case being prepared against Fox News in a similar vein to this which is just over the horizon, as we say a lot about politics in the USA, interesting times ahead.

Agreed on that, post 24th May will be when things hopefully become clearer, I think we can all agree on that. My main beef is with people who I believe ( my opinion) who have come on here as false accounts looking to divide opinion between the majority on here who are loyal Scunny fans. Posting links hither and thither some from 2011 and some that don’t even work and looking to bad mouth a guy who has put a fair amount of money into our club already which in a lot of people’s opinion has stopped our club from going out of business. Yes Ian and Simon paid wages for a month and that was much appreciated but Hilton has ploughed in a lot more since , including paying off a huge tax bill to allow us to bring fresh players in and paying the wages every month since. Some of his ideas haven’t gone down well but at least he’s changed his mind on a couple because he said he listened to fans views yet some have even bad mouthed him about that saying he should have asked fans first. Look he owns the club now and I believe he’s trying his best to stabilise things and it must be very difficult for him trying to get the right things done in the right order, bearing in mind the bloody mess the previous owner left behind. As for Ian and Simon they decided to pull out of a deal to buy the club, ground and land, which the majority believed was down to the money required being too much for them but that is entirely their decision and I respect that but could they seriously come back again if things go wrong next month? would the price be dropped for them? I think we must wait and see but the club is stable for now and for that we should all be grateful and thank the guy responsible. Right that’s me done on this, being drawn into other people’s shit show is a bad idea but this is what happens when unproven poison is brought in from outside. Wait and see till the 24th of May has come and gone because until then it’s speculation which is totally unwarranted IMO.

‘I hear they can put £150 each into a new venture, should be mega’

So, let me get this straight I-A, you and awaywego are implying Elliot and Sharp didn’t have the funds to buy the club, stadium and land? I’ve not seen evidence to support that, so it sounds mightly like one of those conspiracy theories you keep wangin’ on about. If I’ve misinterpreted what your point was, please correct me.

So we can’t have another daft laugh at Simon and Ian’s expense but everybody else is fair game, ok I get it you bruise easy but let’s be right they couldn’t afford the whole deal in the first place so let’s wait and see what happens post May 24th, would rather everything went through then rather then a phoenix club being the outcome.

Just to reply to Cliffs point about O’Malley, he was never a left back IMO but he could slot into left midfield and be a temp left back in an emergency, we might not get as many options as we think about players wanting to come here next season.

Do you agree next season will be a proper yardstick of the new owner and manager, as Peter Levy says ad nauseum on his Look North interviews it’s just a yes or no question?

No so much of a yardstick as a metre rule. It’s a completely different league with a number of part time teams.

Both owner and manager has been found to be out of their depth in this league.

Not certain that NL(N) we be a paddling pool!

So do you mean NI that if we do well next year and get promoted, Dean and Hilton won’t have proved anything until they manage to stay up in the National League the season after.🤔 Well if that’s your logic fine.

Some people still don’t get it, our football club has to change or die, simple as, the more money the new owner can get in to help turn us round the better. I’ve been watching the Iron since 1964 and I was a season ticket holder up until lockdown but I have chosen to pay every home game individually since then. Does it cost me more, yes, do I care, no, do I miss the odd home game because I choose to do other things ( the odd weekend away etc ) yes, does that make me any less a loyal fan then a season ticket holder,no. In short I will still end up paying more to watch the Iron then a season ticket holder and that’s fine by me.
Look if you want to pay up front before May then fine do it, if you choose not to, fine do that but STF up moaning and whinging about FA, it’s completely pathetic the way some of you go on about crap.

Well at least that’s an upgrade on the previous owner, his was a non thinking role when it came to running a football club.

[Iron-awe]

If’s buts and maybes, if the cops hadn’t opened up the Leppings Lane gates 34 years ago then 97 Liverpool fans would probably still be walking about enjoying their football, such is the lottery of life sometimes. What’s done is done and that includes current and former Iron players and their footballing abilities.

[Iron-awe]

You need more syrup on your waffles Sidey, you’d get to love em then. Loan players brought in at short notice to transform a teams fortunes was always going to be a gamble and before the Nelson issue raises it’s ugly head again, that is just a matter of opinion whether he could have done any better. Look the new owner took a chance on bringing a raft of players in on short term deals and loans, it failed but at least him and the new manager tried, if people think they didn’t try hard enough or weren’t good enough then that again is just opinion. Next season will be the yardstick for where we are going under Hilton and Dean, so you can put that in your waffles maker and chew it

Got to disagree on one point Pat, Wonderloaf has been managing on X-box for years now, he knows his stuff mate.
