    I have never seen the Iron play well with 3 centre backs but I have only been watching for 50 years.

    Given that at least 80% of the time last season we faced 1 up front why on earth would we want to play 3 centre backs?

    Chris Hope, Russ wilcox and Richard Logan?

    Aye he’ll have forget about them plus he probably also forgot to say that in 50 years of watching he only attended 50% of the time. Lol

    Fantastic news, I’m guessing there will be some more investment coming through when the time is appropriate. No more big time Charlie’s no more ” my club” crap from previous owners, the club is in it’s safest space ownership wise for a long long time, nice one.

    I’d rather have a mumbler than a scratcher who probably should never have been hired in the first place, let’s give Andy some slack eh, we gave Jimmy plenty and we’ve not kicked a ball in anger yet under Butler, if he gives us attacking winning football and gets us promoted he can mumble all he likes for me.

    Not at all Iron-Awe, as I said in my previous post… we move on!

    That’s good so no more comments from you on this topic, thanks for clarifying.

    I’m basing it on the claim made by his wife, that at least one of the offers was only a touch above minimum wage. In light of the amount of attention this topic has received I’m sure Andy would have refuted this if it wasn’t true and I don’t see any reason that Butterfield (or his Mrs) would need to lie?

    “Hell hath no fury than a woman scorned”, no evidence based facts here and you well know it, you could just move on but something is obviously keeping you banging on about it, wonder what that could be!!!

    Always find it strange why a person or spouse of a person would discuss actual details of their renumeration even down to a percentage cut basis. That would only, as it has here, lead to speculation based on no actual evidence to what Butterfield had been earning and what he could have lost by signing a new deal. Better just to say a new contract could not be agreed between both parties and they are going their separate ways. Don’t think Mrs Butterfield will be on social media discussing how much more her husband will be earning at his new club but you never know. Very strange behaviour IMO.

    “We’re going to create a lot of chances this season, like we did last season, but with two centre forwards on the pitch, I think we’ll score more.”

    Aye, not rocket science is it?

    Apparently it was to JD last season.

    Shame a previous manager did not think like that.

    A previous manager was over cautious to the point of negativity, it cost us promotion and him his job

    Speculation is one thing – but there’s been rather too much blame floating about based on too little certainty.
    How do people manage to take sides so easily?

    Because a lot of them are full of sh**.

    Think our style of play will be different next season and Butterfield maybe doesn’t suit that brief, expect more channel balls hit early and two up top as a regular formation also another winger to go with Roberts and plenty of balls whipped in from out wide. Yes I know we have Jason Law but both him and Roberts will have time out with injury, think that’s a given.

    These players leaving aren’t a mega surprise considering the money they would have been on and how we have to budget accordingly in our current situation compared to irresponsibly budgeting under the previous regime in charge. Old saying but some people literally have to ” wake up and smell the coffee” we still have a football club to support next season and that is the most important detail here.

    People suggesting Hilton is coming on here and stirring the pot should ask themselves why he would waste time bothering and, more importantly, from where he’d even get any new intimate information on Boardroom activity?

    I mean, he MIGHT come on here and stir it up… The big point is, where would he get fresh Boardroom information from (working on the assumption it is true / correct)?

    Maybe the old brown tongued big head is passing stuff on, who knows.

    Cant be that many Ironawe, the numbers haven’t increased to allow the jackpot prize to rise like they said it would do.
    I joined for 2 draws saw they couldn’t be arsed to promote it more, so i cant be arsed to give them my money.

    You may well be right about the numbers being low, I was just reckoning if every adult season ticket holder set up a debit for a tenner a month into the draw it could well bring in around £10,000 a month, it’s regular income for the club and you don’t miss £120 a year unless your really struggling financially in which case you probably wouldn’t be a season ticket holder anyway. In some cases the difference between buying a season ticket plus the monthly draw fee or paying game by game over a season wouldn’t be that much more.

    Not sure what the current numbers are but contributing a tenner a month into the club draw would be a good way for fans to contribute extra much needed income.

    What a sad day, thank you John for not only being the number one Iron fan but for being a top top guy. Took him many boxes of old programmes down to his house for him to move on and donate the proceeds to the club and spent many hours just chatting to him on away coaches and in the ground on match days. Things will never be quite the same again watching the Iron play without John in the ground, RIP John we will all miss you.

    Another atrocity to add to the list, apparently according to Israel refugee camps are now legitimate targets for attack.

    Maybe you should have sent him an e- mail or phoned him after all you’ve had previous contact, why so public, isn’t that the reason all this shit kicked off between you in the first place?

    Is BPG the David Hilton of the non football section on bru?, well he does appear to believe he is never wrong and seems to believe he is the only genuine person on this forum. I think you are correct in your 3rd party approach JI, sensible and safest route to go down if you feel you need to.
