I am going to be optimistic. We lost a few players at the end of last season and I thought we might well be in trouble this season. However, we have had a few positive signings and we have goalscorers – an absolute necessity at all levels.
So I predict a 1-0 win for the Iron.

You do need the web to allow you to show how bloody boring you can be

Stop with all this Matlock crap.
Some of us tried to warn them, but they have not taken any notice, so they will get whatever they deserve.
Indo feel sorry for them, but they were warned.
Just thank God that he has gone.

I don’t think people have enough information to slam the Club for affecting the team.
We very nearly went out of existence, and we desperately need to get things right off the field. I believe that the people on power are doing their best to ensure that we are still around for the future. It may not all be popular or even wanted, but they need to consider every opportunity to improve the position of our Club.
AB, in my opinion, should never have been appointed. He has done a decent job, but his stubbornness has cost us dearly. We may still go up and he may take us to the next level, but it would have been a lot easier with someone decent & experienced at the helm.
I hope he continues to improve with his tactics and his attitude, but I am still far from convinced that he is the right man for the job.

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!!

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?
Pass forward instead of sideways or back!!
That is a must.
