    Cannot see how we have not signed another CB yet!

    Perhaps that doesn’t fit the path of decline !

    Are all our own youth players injured or deemed not good enough by the coach who has brought them through the ranks. Bringing senior players in fair enough,but it’s not sending a good message to our own.

    Sadly become the norm here.

    Humble Pie from Peter Swann – Not a chance !

    Blames everyone else for the last 9 years of appalling leadership orchestrated by HIMSELF. But worse is he will not or cannot accept what he has done.

    Reasonable questions and well dealt with. Very measured and professional in his comments.

    Actually think this is one of the toughest of gigs as things are. Not much time to sort a lot of problems out so can see the back 4 doing their bit with midfield contributing far more. Just want to hear and read the fans say we got the basics right and our passing was much improved.

    Then pray the takeover does happen and an official no. 1 is in place and build from there.

    Mr Hill survives because he fits the plan drawn up by Mr Swann.

    I don’t think he knew how bad things were.

    He does now and deteriorating by the day if that is possible.

    Thomas has near vanished and rightly so. What was Scunthorpe United has been dismantled by the EGO and laid bare are the bones. Leadership is shocking, how to build a team seems a lost hope.

    Mr Hill should have been released 12 games before last seasons end. The league position was surrendered and one person was responsible. Needed someone who wanted to prove a point about being a league manager.

    The EGO owns the club. The EGO runs the club. The EGO doesn’t care what anyone says or how embarrassed they may be when making any comments.

    The only time I will believe is when the owners name changes at Companies House !

    Wait 20 games after the squad is complete before you start your whining about the manager but Prawn must go NOW.

    I don’t think the team has the luxury of 20 games. For me 10 at most. Today we are 4th bottom – it has been shown that Mr Hill struggles to get teams moving upwards once the danger zone looms.

    He should not be here anyway after the shocking surrender of our league place. The person in charge should have been someone who knows this type of league.

    But yet again the issue is the EGO !!

    Have to buy it for other reasons – family live elsewhere so have to send certain items. Then they get forwarded to New Zealand where old friends moved to decades ago.

    Sad thing is the ending of nostalgia, especially the items on old IRON items.

    But will agree it is a vastly overpriced poor excuse of journalism. Remember the days when the Star was going – used to get village news, all local sports and actual stories from the area.

    If Swann has so called stepped down who makes the decisions with managers?

    He hasn’t stepped down ! He may have stepped back into the shadows but what he says goes !

    He said he would get the team out of Division 2 – he did that with ease !!
    Perhaps his target now is to get us out of the National League !

    Regarding the manager – well he needs 10 games with a new squad HE picked, but he wouldn’t have been here for me. Last season we seemed to select to give in and that was shocking. We needed a manager who knows non-league football and someone who wants to actually become a league manager.

    Would be great if the takeover gets completed at any point soon…. But in the meantime it might be an idea to exercise a little caution with written words regarding the current owner to avoid any legal issues. UTI.

    Well said. The EGO will be watching for any slip. Re-read what you have written before posting.

    Each person made their decision based on what they thought.

    When the EGO has gone then real advances will be made in many areas. This will result in better crowds and allow increased revenue to be reinvested instead of wasted on the KDt’s of this world.

    I will start with wanton optimism [usually do]. I do not expect to hear of targeting in any game, I expect to go for a win in every game. If the manager adopts negativity it will only end one way – badly !

    The sky is the limit provided the manager sticks to what our team does for every game. If he sets up to cope with others ie: Targeting – then problems will occur and no higher than 10th.

    Go for it every game and top 3 could be on. But it depends on what Mr Hill does. A couple of strikers may be in the offing but all will have to see if that happens.

    All I do ask for is when any of the acad or 1st year pro’s play stick with them they will need your help. Best to all for next week, for those who travel please be safe.

    The problem with Mr Swann was he knew it all ! At an early Swann Style Forum he said he didn’t accept or trust any suggestions that could help the club ! That people will want something for it ! It deteriorated from that point onwards.

    In it and looking forward to pitching our respective football knowledge in a whole ‘New’ world.

    Going to be fun. Remember this helps Matt run the Forum so hope all from last season and previous seasons join and rejoin. YOUR website needs YOU and of course the ridiculously low sum of £10.

    So much fun ahead.

    Keith will be looking to give his squad game time add the heat factor and he will utilise all down to the academy. Poulter and Fleming need time and working with the 1st team they will be ok when they get a few minutes here and there. The signing of Butterfield is a masterstroke he will explain what they need to work on so when the passes arrive they will know what to do.

    Could actually be a marquee signing. His experience invaluable in helping the young talent coming through.

    Perhaps this has helped him make the decision.

    Sounds as though he had a good 55mins today. McMahon in interview with Chris Sumpter said he joined trained to get his fitness any decision to make an offer will be down to Mr Hill but one hasn’t been made yet.

    Sargents have been gone for decades – or so I thought.

    Another childhood memory lost 😞

    If they are still going I know the recipe isn’t what you knew.

    But I do know where it is, it is with the family – trust me.
