All this talk about that pathetic troll document and the ‘fishy’ forum, is getting us nowhere. It is time to nip it in the bud.
The document is toxic and obviously made up by someone (probably more than one) who wants to cause our club problems. The fact that whomever it was posted on the codhead forum once it had been deleted here says it all. The fact that said forum has allowed that post to stand speaks volumes about them. They are not our ‘fishy friends.’
We need to move on now, and do whatever is necessary to show our beloved football club, that we are still there to support them through these terrible times!

Thinking we need ’11 Bishops’ underestimates the technical skills and abilities some players possess at regional level. Some of the decent and flourishing sides I’ve seen have a good balance and mix of big solid central defenders, full backs with pace / good crossing, one midfield general and skillful attacking midfielders / striker goal machines to complement. Plus a commanding experienced keeper
Lol!

It’s very bad form to literally tell an old person you’d like for him to die. 😟

A few forum members who joined recently are attempting to sow the seeds of doubt. The trouble is that we are in a better place since Hilton purchased our club. He pulled us out of the deep doo doo, then payed off our debt with the tax man. We now have to look to the future, now that we have one, and give the man a chance to build success. I will now ignore conspiracy theorists on here. At the end of the day, Swann is gone, things will only get better.

If I remember, Ivan Toney was not very good when we had him. Now there are rumours that Ten Hag wants him at Manchester United.
So it’s not just managers that are not up to much when they come to The Iron, then go on to prove themselves at a higher level then? It’s players too.

Okay so I read this on the companies house website, having searched Coolsilk…
(Fair review of the business
The directors continue to work on the disposal of the Scunthorpe United asset to the new owner with a deadline of 24 May 2023 for completion.)I do hope that this is what will happen, and that PDS doesn’t reneg on it.

We have had, imo, years of corruption and mismanagement from the very top. It is hard to be enthusiastically optimistic, even with new a new owner and manager. I have no problem with Ilkeston, indeed before Hilton arrived I hadn’t given them much thought. If our new Chairman can run The Iron as well as he did Ilkeston, I will be pleased. But I’m NOT interested in transferring ANY aspect of our club’s running seventy miles down the road, great training pitch or not.
That will be my last comment on the matter. As long as Mr Hilton doesn’t have any more of those ideas.

Whoever he does sign would struggle to be as badly motivated as the shower we have now. Short term loanees are ok if you lose both goalies, as we did with two broken arms in one match, remember that? But to sign all those players on such terms was too much! At the same time I’m still relieved that we still have a club to support in Scunthorpe.

I’ve lost count of how many manager we have had over the last twenty years. The clamour of fans to get them sacked has always bothered me. The fact that some of these ‘terrible’ managers have proven themselves by being successful elsewhere, is a case in point. Look at where Mark Robins is now for instance, doing very well at Coventry. Could it be that he is getting better backing from their board? Or perhaps they are letting him do his job without interference? Maybe both.
I don’t believe how far we have fallen, but really can’t see the same thing happening next season. So let Dean have his chance, bring in his own players on real contracts, and see how he gets on over a longer period of time.
This is head and shoulders the best topic being discussed on this forum right now. Best drink to go with curried goat, any takers
Got to be a nice Chianti 😎
I wonder if any local people will volunteer to help the club in these desperate times. It doesn’t look like there will be many people employed there for next season.

We had a shed load of nonentities in the January window, just wondered who chose them. If it was Hilton, then perhaps it is no surprise that they are not seeming to play for Dean.

So (and apologise if this has already been covered), how much say did Jimmy Dean have in the recruitment of all those new players? They don’t seem at all loyal to him!
