Just looking for stabilization in performance. They do say say win your home games and draw your away games should deliver promotion.
I would hope we set up to win and make them cope with us, so another win would be good and show the team that they can start an unbeaten run.
Good points.
I thought our best spell was the first 30 minutes against South Shields. They are a good side and we completely tore them to shreds. The ball was moved about so quick and they were under constant pressure.
I know we can’t play at that tempo for 90 minutes but that performance was the benchmark for me.

Why can’t they do that for 90 mins ? They train full time if they are ‘blowing’ after 60 mins they need to up the fitness levels.Said on many occasions at home we should play 4 4 2 – for whatever reason it works.
352 or 352 or 4411 or 4321 – previous managers try them but have no idea how to change it when it does not work. We need to get to basics start with formation in all games, be able to pass the ball, be able to control the ball and be able to find space to receive the ball.
Stop targeting and play front foot football and want to win ALL games.

Thank you for the Update Matt. Best wishes to The NEW Board. Must have been horrendous for them with everything they faced when gaining control.
What happened to the 999 (or was it 99) year lease and “no rent until the club could afford it”?
Was that in one of the EGO’s statements ?
If so like them all not worth the time anyone spent reading them. It couldn’t even honour his own chosen words at that first Forum he had having taken over.
That was ” When the Swann family leave we guarantee the club will be better off financially than when we arrived” !!
Forked tongue possibly !

WonderGoals – that seems like a plan.
One can imagine there are talks going on, we will have to wait I am afraid.
I see they are resurrecting the 1 hour Weekday Sports programme. James Hoggarth has got the gig and the times just the same 6pm until 7pm.
It really is the first positive for Humberside Sport for quite a few years.
All depends how it is presented. Perhaps The Iron Trust should ask for emails where people can outline their idea.
Remember there will be Covenants put on it to prevent misappropriation. Quibell Park as covenants on it that stop any shady dealing – and a previous borough solicitor told me he had never seen anything as tight or unchallengeable as them.
I await the plan / decision to be revealed.
Local people who care for their club. A refreshing change after the last 10 years and they know what is needed.

Said when Hilton was made preferred bidder the EGO did not want Simon & Ian anywhere near.
He did not want local people to succeed, although it would have been tough battle.The question not answered is if Hilton had no funds what did he show to he did ?
Then why was the Bury attempted buyout an abject failure – someone was warning us about him.Ah well a journalist asked a question. Some didn’t mind it some seem to have taken great umbridge.
Simon isn’t bothered so can we all move on. Thanks.

Take a bow IRON BRU & IRON HOUR PODCAST.
5 users thanked author for this post.
There are ideas that can be looked at if funds to purchase are needed. Not there yet.
The new owner/board have a lot to sort out. Within the group there is a lot of “Customer Care Experience”.
It will take time but they will turn it round.

What like Swann spending to try and make the championship again. And Hilton doing similar this season. And both getting pissed off at fans berating them at every twist and turn to a stage where they both stop funding altogether.
D.Hilton didn’t like it when things were being found out about him.
If there was nothing to hide then don’t hide it, and then to do what he did to the staff was as low as you get. Those staff did everything he wanted, got on with it and then on pay day to cheat them ! Because that is what it was.
So if Aidan something is close then we have to wait.

Sellars-Fleming on the bench for Hull City yesterday.
Does anyone know what our compensation rights, which we apparently retained, are ?No. I have asked the question several times and our fraud of an owner has never allowed an answer.
This makes me very suspicious !

Preston were backed by a very wealthy gentleman and he covered the bills.
Mr Hayes was offered a 3 yr deal at £8K a week – he would have been stupid to turn it down.

…any past examples of fans who have got into trouble with not checking their comments? Any names spring to mind?
In the days of the EGO many solicitors letters were sent for comments made in print.
As many say be civil, watch the language it isn’t needed and above all before posting your comments check what you have put ! If you cannot prove it do not put it – it could be expensive.

Surely Swann won’t want to be known as the past Chairman who destroyed SUFC and broke the hearts of our very loyal supporters.
Swann spent money that he and the club didn’t have and to offset the losses kindly signed over all our assets to his company. I don’t think he gives a toss how he comes across.
I’m no Swann supporter, but at least get your facts right
Swann transferred assets over to his company in return for writing off £11,000,000.
I accept that he, and his managers, were absolutely crap with the use of the money over a long period, but he could have let us keep the assets and the £11M debt. We would have been much worse off than we are now.
On a Radio Humberside interview the EGO said we had gambled but failed.
That is factually incorrect – HE had gambled, we had no say in it. In fact no one had. So who sanctioned the spending season after season that then totaled into the debt of £11 Million – The Chairman had. Yet the club who had no so say in it has to repay its money to the person who spent it !!

After the EGO you think as far as stupidity goes we have seen it all !
We hadn’t. Club quite happy to take shirt sponsorship from IRON BRU and then bans him !

Misterton Mick says at the moment “nothing that is happening makes sense”.
Going back to the early days when Mr Hilton came in, who thought it made sense to replace Michael Nelson with a new manager from a lower level of football and said he hadn’t talked to prior to offering him the job ? And it still doesn’t make sense.

The NLN had warned they would not be allowed into the league if relegated. Then should wages be unpaid, and/or we failed to raise a team for a fixture that would it.
Sadly all a joke to some.
And another claim to fame – How many other clubs in the lower leagues have produced as many players who went on to Captain their country.
Why the wording of this item ?
It is not necessary. Don’t abuse someone who actually did something for the club in its darkest hour.

Seems Mr Hardy has now seen all the figures. Why ?
Or has the first bid arrived ?
Interesting phraseology. Has something already happened behind the scenes ?
