Thought Mr Butlers Humberside interview summed it up – bereft of passion and disappointment.

Fans have dug deep this season and 700 away at Radcliffe shows they are interested. Perhaps the manager and players should say if it is worth turning up anymore ? Do they realise they are playing for the gates of next season and judging the comments after yesterday people will have second thoughts.

ABs interview was very strange in the way he came across .. as if it was loss in a pre season friendly when it was a key game in which the team failed miserably seemingly swished aside with little emotion.

BTW we are now in a 4 game league so will treat is such .. what twaddle.

[ironfromafar]

Well WTF did we just witness , at this crucial part of the season the players looked flat ,total lack any desire or intensity and created nothing in the way of attempts on goal thus missing a great chance to capitalize on Kiddy dropping points and more so letting down the 700 plus fans who traveled.
Maybe the discontent off the field is effecting the staff n players but being professional it should not.
Sad to say we aint going up automatically on that form and with Brackley look ominously good and with a soft run in we could well end up in the playoffs with Kiddy , 4 others lets say Chester Chorley Curzon Hereford and ??? so another year in NLN which in all intense n purposes could lead to many more when the squad is dismantled.

A VERY BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE

Well that’s that, it’s been a fun ride but it’s a home playoff semi final now at best.

I still can’t believe the amount of people who were so pig headed the last few weeks (especially after the Chester game) more or less calling it won. How stupid you look now. To not score in 180 minutes against absolute dross like Radcliffe is embarrassing.

Exactly .. after Chester fans the title was nailed on or guaranteed .. on FB the fav catchphrase was its in our hands just win all 5 really looking daft now.

Unchanged staring 11 n subs from Southport …

Hope Mo can come on the cause havoc a bit sooner this week.

Need a win today however it happens.

Let’s not hear from any of them!
I’ve personally heard enough from Aitkenhead to last me a lifetime, he’s a nasty man with a huge chip on his shoulder.
As for Sharp, he cares for nobody apart from himself, I’d be happy to never see his face at the club again.
Roberts, spoke to him many times, comes across well but the phrase “smiling assassin” comes to mind.
IMO, whilst these three remain at the club things will only get worse.
I expect massive changes in the summer, both on and off the pitch.

Cant fault a word ov that … its pretty obvious re SUFC Michelle and Roj are cut from different cloth as the 3 Muskateers

Strangely enough Rene i too think both us n Kiddy will slip up today.. a draw for us and a loss for Kiddy at Buxton thus bringing a routinely winning Brackley tighter into the mix

Rad 1 Iron 1
Buxton 1 Kiddy 0

who in gods name would want FCxxxxxxx and this condescending arrogant weasel involved in their club .. simply dont believe many scunny fans at all were on board with the plan except maybe a couple on the BovD , CEO and some hanging on their coattails.

Good luck finding a club Mr Brady .. IMO lower your bar and expectations of fan approval.

Surely the stadium weekender will make enough doe to keep the club a float for months ..wont it ?

Im wondering just how much wonga the club will actually make from it .. especially if the weather is inclement and it goes tits up for any other reasons.. SUFC could well have a bad smell lingering like a stale fart in a taxi if not a success… risky

Just watched the Weekender promo vid uploaded onto the SUFC FB page and its one of the best adverts i have seen …………… for ear defenders.

Of course im an old rotund balding fella but theres nowt wrong with my ears .. musiC nowadays has no meaning no soul its just noise created to make money with skant regard to much else.

Im standing by my prediction that IF this gig does go ahead twill be a total disaster and Zanetti ran out ov town.

posted earlier and i agree with this
I’m guessing/hoping/imagine that his input is limited to texting some mates “in the industry” and getting a text back that they will do it for X pounds, and on the day he will be some sort of dj…..

What’s the point of spending money on court action when there is no reasonable expectation of recovering the sum even if the court finds in your favour? Just becomes good money after bad.

I agree entirely and wasnt suggesting litigation ..more so clarification.
The reason there seems to be no action makes it more of a reason to explain what the debt is for .. i say again its a huge sum of money to casually write off.

Thanks DM that was a real toe tapper and 4 mins (2 actually as i turned it off) of my life wasted .. if thats a Zanetti signing i would rather have my ears blow torched off and all my teeth removed with pliers than listen to it again .. im sure these guys will really move some tickets.NOT

Im with you it could a piss take its that bad !! ..

250k equates to 700-800 season tickets at a very very rough guess

Bad debt on a balance sheet would almost certainly be relating to money we are owed that we now no longer think is retrievable. So, who owes us £250k?

Perhaps a better way to say it would be “cash monies due to the Club, and which the Club could reasonably have expected to receive, but did not”…

The club is fortunate Butler has managed the squad so well in terms of fitness. He doesn’t get the credit he deserves for this. Don’t have the stats but I would imagine this is the least players we’ve used in a whole season since the 90s.

yes agree Harry .. credit there and also the way hes managed to keep all positions covered even while some players are out on loan ..cant knock B or his staff on that score.

IF ONLY ….. we had not had that run of dire form/performances playing so negatively 5 at the back we may possibly be home n dry by now .. most teams have rough spells including Kiddy and Brackley for that matter.

SUFC is over staffed in some areas mentioned bearing in mind we are in the NLN ..

We don’t know the actual duties and workload, do we – so how can you say that with certainty? Wasn’t it previously mentioned that James Moody was, effectively, doing the jobs of two or three people during the Hilton era? That’s not sustainable in itself – nothing would be given the time it demands or be done with the expertise it requires.

Obviously cant say it for absolute certainty sure .. more so its IMO its over staffed in some areas for a NL club.

Yes Off loaded LT and running with a small squad (well balanced with cover so kudos there) but always seems to be money for non playing staff inc the new CEO who as yet has been pretty nondescript.

No.
Rather see Hiltons extravagant spending on the team. (Would seem not bad in the end anyway seeing we only lost £250,000)
Now what is extravagant is employing a CEO, a Catering manager, stadium manager all tuther office staff, and a restaurant, all very well and good for a team in the EFL but national league north I don’t think so.
All beyond our control either direction.

Im not commenting re Hiltons era as its all to grey but i must agree AWG ..that SUFC is over staffed in some areas mentioned bearing in mind we are in the NLN ..

[ironfromafar]

Talking to a couple ppl on the ground in Scunny saying ITO unless big numbers attend from all over UpNorth it could well be a disaster as local sales have been very slow.
Im sure Mr Zanettis’ recent half time show hasnt helped ticket sales and now this licensing issue may be another nail in the coffin.

All this modern music not my cupps tea and 60 quid for ear drum damage unless the accoutics get sorted …. now if Depeche Mode are signed Enjoy The Silence and Jimmy Sommerville Smalltown Boy worth the entrance fee alone…. no need for snorting moon dust either.

Posted this on another thread last night ( and apologized)

Wrong thread guys sorry but I see Unity Jerry n Co are funding an Easter Kids party .. surely loosing 60k a month and needing 5k a week according to Michelle this money would be better used going to the club not chocolate eggs and fluffy bunnies.

Unless of course Jerry is paying from his personal funds tho it does state the unity group are holding it.

Not being racist or religaphobic (new word) how will this sit with non Christian members of the Unity group what next a kids Ramadan party.

Personally even fromafar i do my bit but dont intend on getting involved with this unity group as i have reservations about the founders and ones with the chek book .. also must be said regarding anything to do with SUFC Jerry comes across as a rather rude know all and very condescending on SM.

sugij pleased you are safe .. i was in the Sukhumvit rd soi 77 Onut area going to Prawet when it hit .. did not hang about and got out onto M9 ring road before all bridges and tunnels etc were closed spent today driving up North to Udonthani province….many people stuck in the central Bangkok though i think the sky trains etc are open again.

Sadly lots of construction workers missing at the Chatuchak site

Keep safe if you are still in the capital.

ive been off the radar a as got tangled up in the Bangkok earthquake , i was in the outskirts of the city when it hit but managed to get out onto the motorway ring road before they closed all the bridges etc .. scary stuff bright n sunny yet loud rumbling thunder which actually was the sound coming from under ground not the sky .. power poles and trees swaying and a few roads look like waves in the sea now …not sure how many were killed as some buildings collapsed.

Trying to get up to speed whats happened re the steelworks ?
Whall out injured or sold ??

Back home up North now and be tuning in to the game today ..
