    If you know anything, share it.

    Posting that you are ITK but not saying anything makes you look a bit of a prat.

    I’ve held back in recent weeks but enough is enough!!!!

    He doesn’t know what he’s doing and his total incompitence is making people question David Hilton when that doesn’t need to be the case.

    My choice was Craig Elliot who Boston let go, now most Boston fans regret that!
    He dropped down a league to manage Matlock town and had them in the play offs but Buxton (bottom 3 in the NLN) came calling for him and he’s won almost every game since taking them from the relegation zone to a play off place with one game to go… Take a look Jimmy because you’ve had more than enough games and we’ve got worse!!!!!!

    Even if it’s not Elliot it can not be Dean!!
    He’s totally useless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    David Hilton… this man is causing you issues you don’t need… You messed up the appointment… admit that and move on because Dean isn’t the man for next season and he’s going to cost you a lot if you don’t move him on!!

    Great post. I concur.

    Dean is not the answer. Another 10 games next season will leave whoever comes in a gigantic mountain to climb.

    I really wish we could get some stability with a manager, but it ain’t gonna happen with Dean.

    The man has no idea.

    There has been no improvement anywhere on the pitch.

    We are poor and his substitutions make no difference – and often make it worse.

    New manager for next season please.

    It is hard to be more clueless than Hilton, but Dean has achieved it.

    If somebody cuts the piece of string outside Glanford Park, Dean will never get home…..

    Milton Keynes (new town, not the original village) was created by an Act of Parliament on 23rd January 1967.

    Wimbledon moved to Milton Keynes in 2003… some 36 years later.

    MK wasn’t a new town when Wimbledon moved there.

    And… just like Wimbledon, weren’t we on the brink of going bust?

    At the time Wimbledon were already playing their matches at Selhurst Park. Which for those who don’t already know, is Christal Palaces ground. Plough Lane had been left empty and abandoned…

    Wimbledon played in Kingston for a good few years after Crystal Palace.

    The Plough Lane site was built on long before they went to MK too.

    I was, surprisingly, impressed with Hilton’s interview. Hopefully the next 12 months will show us how much he can really do.

    Dean, on the other hand,fills me with woe & his outrageous interview yesterday only leads me to believe that he will not be long for these shores. Let’s hope he is gone before he causes too much trouble with the squad – Inc any newbies that come in close season (because he will undoubtedly still be here).

    An appalling interview. Listening to that you wouldn’t believe that Jimmy Dean had anything to do with what went on out there.

    This was not a one-off. We have seen it far too often recently.

    The problem we have is that he is likely to stay. Do we expect the players to play for him? He’s thrown them under the bus and is likely to see a reaction – negative!!

    Rene Artois
    I do not know other peoples financial status, but from experiences at Ilkeston and monies spent, with breathtaking improvements to the club and playing structures I think he has proved he is a winner… without doubt!
    As for poor communication, we’ll its not is it?… replying, and responding to negative comments from a small percentage of fans, who you would not have heard a peep out of, if the team were likely to escape relaxation is not my idea of good communication.
    As I said, let the doubters go to Ilkeston and ask independent fans about Mr Hiltons capability.. and not listen to keyboard warriors.

    You’re going off course here, probably on purpose.

    There has been no response to reasonable questions which are nothing to do with team performance and nothing in regard to his plans for the club / ground / land.

    This is a professional football club, regardless of the previous tenure teh fans expect and deserve to be properly communicated with. Not through Twitter.

    What does properly communicated with mean? If not twitter, then what? Carrier pigeon, newspaper, email, meeting at Glandford Park, personal phone calls (mobile or landline?), town crier or smoke signals?

    Ferrite, City will hire the best 30 lawyers in the world and tie up the whole situation for the next 20 years.

    I don’t think that any of the football authorities, either in England or Int’l, will have the wallet or the desire to fight them.

    Sadly, it is too late to bolt the stable door. Not only has the horse bolted, it has covered at least 8 furlongs and is still out of control!!

    … yesterday emulated our feat against Leyton Orient all those years ago! 2-0 down at Borussia Dortmund in the 89th minute, won 3-2!

    I remember that game Bobby, I was driving home thinking we had lost 2-0, after leaving early.

    I had a worse one than that though, after driving with my lads to watch the Notts Forest FA Cup match one Saturday after phoning their ticket office to order our tickets, arrived to find that they had not saved them. So with Scunny at Lincoln City that same afternoon, we called at Lincoln on our way back to Barton, and entering the ground about six minutes after kick off, the game was 2-0 after two early goals, I think to Lincoln. The score was still 2-0 with five minutes to go, so we went back to the car to avoid the traffic, there were two late goals and the score ended 2-2, so after driving all the way to Notingham, then to Lincoln and the Lincoln game, we had a full day but never saw any of the bloody goals, then back to Barton ha ha! Funny thing is that I nearly always still lerave when just a few minutes remaining in games.

    <iframe title=”scunthorpe 4 v leeds 2 – 1983 fa cup (vhsrip) – vcd – [jeffz].mpg” src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/88VNTsQiaKs?feature=oembed&#8221; allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture” allowfullscreen=”” id=”fitvid0″ frameborder=”0″></iframe>

    Enjoy

    Those were the days RoamingBull, thats when Scunny used to play attacking football, five forwards whoever we were playing, also a great night when Scunny won 4-0 at Leeds, I think that Barrie Tomas scored all four goals, and I slipped full lenth climbing a steep muddy bank inside Elland Road.

    At your age you should realise that leaving early is not a good idea.

    I never leave until the final whistle has been blown. Even when we are getting hammered – and there have been a good few times, both home and away – I just can’t bring myself to leave.

    Now have 3 grown up children who also stay to the bitter end!!

    As pointed out already, they are innocent until proven guilty.

    What I want to know is why, in 2023, are they going back to 2009? Have they not checked them out since then or are they incompetent?

    It’s not only City who should be getting chased. There are a number of clubs around Europe who need reviewing.

    Good game and excellent atmosphere.

    Feeney was really strong when he came on. Like him a lot.

    Their no 6 was quality. Lanky bastard as well.

    If we keep playing like that, and convert a few more chances, we have an outside chance of staying up.

    Enjoyed the day.

    Of course people are going to speculate.

    We’re surrounded by tabloid journalism and reality television shows!

    That doesn’t mean that you have to read/watch them.

    The op tells us not to get too giddy until we get the details. He then says “from what I’ve read” which is throwing more BS into the pot.

    All this pretending & speculating has become really boring.

    Why can’t people just wait & react to actual fact.

    There’s no way he would have left there if he hadn’t all but sealed the deal for the club. According to some this could be done and announced before tomorrow’s game or the day after, it’s supposed to be near enough done.

    Hilton was down at the club yesterday as well.

    It must be happening. Burny has spoken!!

    Probably the wrong forum but the Met recruitment procedure is terribly flawed, even their own boss says so and has stated he could sack plenty of his current staff if a proper probe was launched. Let’s not forget the poor girl arrested under COVID laws on the streets of London not long ago, driven to a wood, raped, murdered and buried in the wood by a serving Met officer. Now this low life surfaces and warnings were ignored five times in his employment regarding abuse of women. No not every officer is a rapist and I apologise if that was my inference but the crap culture of abuse and racism running through its ranks means the police have been losing respect for years and with good reason. They say themselves they are badly in need of reform so pull your head out of the sand III and I won’t take lectures from you, a Swann apologist.

    I am not, and never have been a Swann apologist.

    You will not find a single post from me that supports him.

    Yep this government loves going after the little people but when the little people’s houses get burgled or their cars stolen, they couldn’t give a toss. Mind you seems the police are into rape big time after today’s latest disgusting revelations, absolutely tragic the way this country is going.

    Do you even think before you post?

    1 copper out of 45,000 Met staff is a rapist and you condemn the lot of them.

    Would you condemn the whole of Banbury (pop circa 45,000) if 1 person there is found guilty of rape? Thought not.
