I would not believe the loss of £64k a month.

We lost half a million pounds last year to June 2024.

In the summer of 2024 we let the management team leave and key players like Butterfield, Ogle and Elliott. We also renegotiated half of the squads contracts with the playing budget reducing from £1.7m to £1.1m

We also heard an Iron Bru podcast with Michelle Harness stating that the season ticket sales had gone well and shirt sales and that we have paid the debt down.

During the early part of this year, another podcast with two of the other directors stating that we are losing £64k a month, which is in complete contrast to what Michelle said in the summer.

Could it be that the directors do not know their annual profit or loss and instead are stating monthly cash flows?

The summer revenue is a lot higher than the rest of the year and similarly the months of January and February seem to have lower attendances due to the cold weather. The energy costs are also higher during the winter months.

Scunthorpe United are a small company so might not have monthly management accounts.

I would expect given the club to be breaking even over the year given the last set of accounts and the restructuring of the playing staff last year.

Good post, but it won’t catch on as people need something & someone to moan about!!

Minimum wages in 2010 was £5.93 an hour.
He was on 10,000 times the minimum wage.

Physio’s godsend – they love having one injured! Keeps them (physio) fit!

If course he wasn’t, but he was a good player who gave 100% and performed to highest standards. He was, sadly, injured far too often.

The others we are talking about are just crap!!

Butler should never have got the job in the first place. He’s done his best, but his lack of experience has cost us.

I thought we might get away with it as we had some momentum, but I think it will be really difficult now.

Does anybody really think he is the man to take us forward if we manage to get up?

Jerry has been, and will continue to be, a big help to our football club.

However, he is not a Legend and never will be. He should not be mentioned in the same breath as Staffy.

It’s as simple as that…..

That West Brom game was great, but we lost.

The game at Exeter, when their new stand was just open, where we won 4-0, was excellent. We were just like Brazil – and Beagrie was outstanding.

[IronIronIron]

4-0 Iron.

Let’s get our goal difference better than Kiddies.

My sentiments regarding Wharton too I-A. I’d also add that though Swann picked up some debt from Wharton, he did so because Wharton left it a decent proposition which was frequently cited nationally as a well run club. Very different from an incompetent selling to a vulture and the latter having to be paid to leave.

Wharton did choose (was there any other option?) Swann though, didn’t he.

You’re not exactly nearby are you Rene?

Maybe you don’t know as much about these things as you make out you do…..

[IronIronIron]

We need to keep our goal difference higher than Kidderminsters. It could be that tight.

It’s to do with DJ Tom Zanetti, who was given the mic at half-time today to promote the 3-day festival. He made a complete arsehole of himself – clearly off his tits, screaming into the mic, telling Chester to “fuck off” and so on. James Moody said, over the mic after Zanetti had vanished in a cloud of powder, that he was an embarrassment. He was not wrong.

Thank you.

Fansy, it’s not difficult mate. You should try it sometime.

[IronIronIron]

Why do you always write posts that don’t explain what you mean?

I’m sure that some “local” people will know what you are ranting about, but please expand your thoughts to tell the rest of us what it is you are actually ranting about.

[IronIronIron]

A big game, and a big performance needed. This could be a turning point.

I think we can squeeze it. 2-1 to the good guys

interesting watching Newcastle. Didn’t get put off from a fast start or change approach even after going a goal behind. And when they take the lead none of this settle down, take the sting out the game rubbish.
Nope keep on on going forward while you are on top.

It’s not over yet…….

Fansy, you should ban yourself.

Putting that last line in is even more petty and childish than your original post.

It’s no wonder so few people post on here any more.

Second in the league and we went up from fourth ironironiron, and that kind of performance is only acceptable once or twice in a season and any playoff game where a win at all cost mentality would do, not twice in succession and numerous times before.

Im pissed off with it as are most, so stuff ya second in the League if that’s the best Butler can offer.

Carefully what you wish for….

I am not keen on Butler, and wasn’t happy with his appointment, but we don’t have loads of cash to splash around and (despite his style) we are still “up there”.

He isn’t going anywhere this season, so let’s hope that he sees the error of his ways and somehow becomes a tactical genius.
