Almost everyone on here was of the same opinion when Hill was appointed.
That he was the best available manager at the time (let’s leave Adkins out of it!).
The stats since he took over says it all. The malaise at Scunthorpe United runs far, far deeper than the head coach and his team.
I have a plan to build an extension at the back of the house, but I’m not going to get it done by salvaging breeze-blocks from a builder’s skip!
No Chairman, no CEO – what next?
No club?

Will they have to bring along their own shirt and sew a badge on. Or are we getting a set made up?
If so, will they arrive before the new signings, or after?

If 18 is the minimum then we need at least three multitaskers in the old “utility player” role.
Such players tend not to be teenagers!

Just because you’re only allowed 12 in a match day lineup doesn’t mean you only have a small squad. It’s not necessarily the same 12 week in, week out.
Anyway we can straight away knock Hallam off the list, then as the other injuries pile up we’ll be taking out a loan or two.
22 – two players for each position is a bare minimum.
And let’s not forget, in those good old days you had a thriving reserves league to keep them match fit.

Done!
Should be interesting, particularly having to predict the likes of Dorking Wanderers v Wealdstone!
Iron nil every week should get us a few points though.

“This announcement is aimed to reduce speculation and provide long term certainty which will help John Sheridan continue to build a competitive squad”.
All of which we’re lacking!

If we were to get a 20 goals a season man (highly unlikely) he’d probably be played DMF.
I recall our last such player was used as a wide man!

Maybe not but a 41% win ratio at Rochdale and 50% win ratio at Tranmere lean towards him having some idea.
But he’s not at Rochdale or Tranmere he’s at Peter Swann’s Scunthorpe United!
There’s a huge difference.

I’m afraid clinging on to past achievements is all we have at the moment!

There’s some bloody scruffy ones too!
No names, no pack drill!

We certainly had a few potential signings bale-out!
The thing about the players UTI99 lists is that they were physically strong at 19/20.
Apart from Gallimore some our teenagers look like they’re in need of feeding up.
The season will be a tough old slog. No place for lightweights.

I’m guessing here of course. But I assume that the discussion group on this thread is made up of middle aged (or older) men. Put your hand up if you’re not in that demographic.
All the women I know in my own family and circle of friends are of the same opinion. How dare a man pass judgment on a woman’s body? They agree fully with the “my body, my choice” mantra.
Siderite is correct, it’s a throwback to a patriarchal society where men feel the need to control women.
Unsurprising then that most religious groups are against it.
