Agree with 414 no high profile signings as yet is worrying saying that the new fella Charlton long name looks to be a decent addition , hoping Fishy n Mad Max turn out to be special.. my crystal ball is still predicting mid table up to last play off place at best , as much as windalene n polish it no sign of any promotion.

Thats a real shame was hoping he would return to Scunny… was an attempt made by LT / the club to get him ??

Obviously its that time of the year where these twats have to claw in as much money as poss to keep “members” in the lifestyle they are accustomed .. as mentioned already way more serious shit seems to have gone under the radar .. wow NO MORE SO EXCITED FANS OK !!

after a few sherberts and a roll in the hay downtown i have woken uoto the fact that mu beloved SUFC is pretty much fooked n will be in NKL at least another 3 to 5 yrs ..
IMO the squad will be way lighter on quality the last term , others teams a lot stronger than last term.. its mid table DEEREY at best ..sorry.. oh and these so called trialts WGs refers to do look like bin dippers

not doomed but NO way promotion ..

Waking up to no real surprise announcements just the 2 as predicted n the worst kept secrets in both Schofield as AB asst and Maison Campbell the new keeper ..

Not seen an interview with Mr Sch but here a nice one with Maison … seems like a real down to earth lad and the signing makes very much sense , obviously was here on loan so knows most at the club already and good reports about him from York fans

VIDEO: Maison Campbell reacts to joining the club on a permanent deal

Interesting to note sensing an under slight under current of “dont mention JD and/or his tenture” .. only really Will Evans commented after signing a new contract re how pleased he was AB had taken over from Dean.

Be nice to see 2 or 3 new QUALITY faces coming now we are into July n all players around the country contracts are up

[ironfromafar]

good points 414

IMO .. 3 to 5 years to get out of this nasty NLN ..

Into July no announcements from the club re signings as yet .. i was of the mind AB asst and keeper would be named today still plenty of time as im a few hours in front of Blighty.

England …. Absolute dog poo pissing about playing out from the back side ways n backwards .. no cutting edge and im betting Southgate wont change it at half time… just how bad have his favourites got to be before he subs them ..Saka n Kane awful , in fact cant name any of them as playing well.

Its coming home … the team i mean

Just listened to the Butler interview on the 4th of June and says they’ve been highlighted and the players know what we want and are negotiating with them, doesn’t mention numbers but them means more than one.
First time listening to him and I thought he come across very well and certainly no mumbling and I could here every word he said.

Yep agree i thought the AB interview was quite good and much prefer to the fidgeting twitchy JD style…remember him? seems like an age ago he was at the helm.

Really would hope to see some ( A FAIR BIT TO BE HONEST) transfer activity from tomorrow through next week hopefully a couple of decent higher profile signings as well as the AB asst and young keeper who may possible be the lad from York as already mentioned… shame we never landed Robbie Fox as i think we need a young quick smaller striker who can put away the chances created by WH or the new lads Charlton and Fishy.

Need a RB surely ? and winger to cover when Roberts n Law are injured (we know thats coming)

So IMO 3 or 4 more player signings plus the keeper n Asst n we are good to go.

More days mixed up , i went out in Bkk for a footy n piss n and soapy day .. WOFT .. no footy.. anyway Therme bar followed a soapy n alls well ..

Back to Scunny .. whilst all around seem mega positive re next season i will refrain from adding this optimism as quite frankly we will be at best a mid upper half table as best, biggest budget bullshit or not , sorry to piss on everyones chips.

Oh good back to getting players from the bargain bucket near the start of the season, being there done that it’s not the way. Suppose it saves the club a months wage he ho.
BBH.

Lots of enquiries from seasoned players and or their agents according to LT..alas come July when most decent players have been snapped up it tends just to leave the bottom of the barrel offerings, was /still hoping for 2 or 3 higher profile signings but sounds like it will be young hungry unknowns and whose to say thats a bad thing IF THEY CLICK under AB n Co

New Physio n Fitness / Strenght coach
New young keeper this week
Another 3 or 4 signings as we get nearer the season so next month.
Players on trial
Talks about the 3 signings so far

A good update ..worth a listen.

[ironfromafar]

Fool me once shame on you
Fool me twice shame on me

feeling a tad more positive after the Kane comments i wrongly assumed England might up their game so awoke like an idiot at 1-45am for the game .. and what was served up same old BORING NEGATIVE CRAP .. was back in bed by 2-45 am… got to feel for thousands of fans who have traveled to witness these 3 group stage performances which quite honestly have been dire.

Thats me done until Southgate departs.

Just reinforces my thoughts that i done really give a sh8t about the EPL or even the England national team .. SCUNTHORPE UNITED are my one n only team… (though i do hope Southend find away to survive)

SOUTHGATE OUT

[ironfromafar]

the term “Poison Chalice” springs to mind … cant see the likes og Pep or Jurgen destroying their career legacy trying to sort out the clusterfook that is the England set up in recent years .. Southgate already making noises about stepping down which is a welcome result IMO

[ironfromafar]

we are casting our nets in the lower end play pool so lets just wait n see .. i would hope next week there some more incoming .. maybe even some to stir the loins ??

‘So many nations like Romania, Austria and Turkey have impressed so far, but I don’t think their players are as good as England’s.’

Who could disagree with that?

Indeed the teams you mentioned have impressed ..look hungry n fit and never stop attacking and pressing no sitting back and lack of endeavor.

Watched the Slovak / Ukr game last night and the same goes there…and an excellent win by my dark horses Austria.

I think Southgate is doing a great job …

at getting the 3 Lions home early .. dire stuff again and hes got to go ASAP .. dull sideways and backwards crap tippy tappy zero penetration and crosses into the box worse than Scunny under JD n that was bad.

Scrap through a poor group n get whipped by a decent side a fitting end to Southgates reign.

Pretty sure the problem isn’t a dearth of happiness amongst England supporters expecting to beat every team by a number of goals

That reminds me of the Iron faithful some how thinking we would piss the league and batter all who came before us last season.

IMO England played Constant Rigid Attacking Play …CRAP for short.

Whitehall and Carlton will be first choice. Who did you expect we would sign as a back up option ?

Hang on WG i never dissed the newbie ..just said i was a tad under enthused .. obviously but hey ho wait n see i hope the lad gets his 15 plus goals tally as add than on to others we might even make the play offs again

[ironfromafar]

Indeed welcome young wish you well and those 15 plus goals a season you mentioned.

As far as signings go i just dont feel overly enthused by this one ..less so than Charlton with the long hard to say surname fella.

[ironfromafar]

Going by comments on SM this deal seems like an improvement on what the club has previously been offering though must admit even being in the booze supply bizz overseas i havent heard much about the products mentioned (other than Heineken obviously)..
Also whilst the SG came in in our hour of need it also seems like a lot of work is needed re catering iN both equipment and staff . training hopefully this new fella from HKR will get it sorted.

Veering off slightly a few of my fav beverages.

Kopperberg Cider naked apple / pear
Natch dry cider
Hob Goblin Ruby/ipa
Old Speckled Hen
Guinness
Tetley cream flow
Pilsner Urquell

Delirium Tremens / Red
Kasteel Rouge / Rubus
Tawandang Rose / Ipa
Deshuttes Fresh Squeezed IPA
Tuatara Pilsner
Sivilai Hoppy Pils.

and finally
* Beer Chang my go to option 3x500ml bottles for 4 quid in my local.

I have no idea what if anything has gone on behind the scenes, but the club is in good hands with the four shareholding directors whom I fully support.

For the record Simon built up a relationship with WHAM to try to limit the damage inflicted on our beloved club.

He worked behind the scenes with a lot of other people to resurrect our club and spent a lot of time and effort doing so.

I hope that Simon has not left the board on bad terms and is still a major player in the fortunes of Scunthorpe United FC in the future.

The club is in a totally better place than it was under Ernest or WHAM but there is still a long way to go before the club can return to League football and we need people like Simon around to make that happen.

I will point to the global companies who have sponsored us due to Simon’s connections primarily in the motor industry as one positive example.

This whole post reads like a statement from Simon.

That was first impression when i read the post Apollo.

Biggest Wannabe there’s been, joined Swann when Swann had lost the room, joined not so Sharp in the doomed takeover, hung on to Hiltons coat tails, and finally gets on to a decent looking board but in a very small way.
So let’s have a round of applause for St Simon and now f off.

Indeed ..been lingering around SUFC like a fart in a taxi … most obviously for whatever reason him latching on to Hilton and DH played him like a fiddle.

Still waiting for a statement from Elliot clarifying why he resigned. IMO the way the fans have rallied round in support of the club surely they do deserve regular updates as to details re ins and outs behind the scenes.

Tahina left with no bad blood between anyone, she did put a “Mission Completed” letter on the tuther side, she’d done what was needed for the club so just time to go for her, we should just wish her well.

Agree .. with regard to Tahina the statement she put out covered all the circumstances re her joining the board , her role within it and the subsequent leaving perfectly … dont know about anything “kicking off” so lets see if Mr Elliot can offer the same professionalism when enlightening fans as to his departure as Tahina did…obviously if he see the need to so.
