People want signings, but based on the past 3 years aren’t fans really concerned at what we deem as a ‘good’ acquisition !
Alex Kenyon has signed a 1 yr deal ! Notice a trend.
Already at the end of the 21/22 season there are almost 12 that will be considering their options. A situation of our making and like the our clueless recruitment plan over the previous 3 seasons will leave us in an even weaker situation.
Why consider this now, it shows we have no plan.

Will be interesting to know if we offered him a deal. If we did that would be two non league players we have offered deals to that havent signed.
Only 2 ? Not good at communicating this club and getting worse.
Yeah spot on f row crew, been a lifelong member several years and yes they do some great work supporting the fans voice and getting in the Prawns face. The more the merrier and if people believe things aren’t right at GP just don’t moan about it on here, join the trust and help them swell the membership which gives us all a greater voice when they meet the chairman and ” board ” to put relevant points to them regarding how the Iron is run.
He will take no notice, the simple reason being he says he is right !
He does watch these items so remember re-read anything you write to check what you have put in B&W and edit accordingly ! He likes using his solicitors so don’t give him the pleasure.

Bill Shankly said how good he was, you can’t get much better than that.
He was a lovely fellow but did not tolerate arrogance – Kevin Keegan will tell you that.
Could be a good recruit.
Biggest issue as always is communication at this club, but only one person responsible and cannot see any change.

We never get left behind. We operate in a whole new football world !!
Our system of recruitment has been an abject failure season on season.
Our season ending releases have systematically reduced the quality of the start point
when we actually start to recruit.It is a farce.
Heard that ! Someone said it was Sod ALL.
To sum up on the question.
No one knows because no one gets told anything. Said on numerous occasions supporters get talked at as opposed to engaged with. Perhaps the plan has worked perhaps it hasn’t.

Put the club up for sale Mr Chairman. If the novelty has worn off and this last 15 months must have been energy sapping then call it a day.

We spend years wasting countless thousands paying for the likes of Marghetts, Vose, Horsfield, Dales, Olomola et al to sit on the sidelines and now cannot afford a National league right backs wages.
It isn’t what has been spent it is what CBRP says. It is what it has been spent on. I would like to add Mr Hippolyte to the list of money down the drain. There were better home developed players sat doing nothing that would if given that opportunity put his inconsistent and lacklustre to shame – the difference is who wanted him ! And they are involved in possible signings !
How not to do it ?

Not sure departure ended well. Interesting when he said that when he got injured the contract offer was withdrawn. Yet Jordan Hallam gets another contract offer despite all his injuries since being here.
Be interesting to know what type of wage a player likes Oates commands in the National league, although I expect it will now beyond our means.
Nicky featherstone looked a tidy player too
Featherstone always was a tidy player, did the basic work that many are unable to do. Put stability in the midfield.
There is no point telling Swann or Cox to their face because they don’t listen.
With Kyle Wootton I called the decision to sell him stupid. I said why but even then Kyle was a better player than the 2 recent recruits Loft & Thuran. Certainly hope Notts County get back in the league.

You can build loyalty within a club and with those outside of the club.
Can that happen at Scunthorpe United ? You need to ask someone else, but for me no. You get there by engaging WITH the fans, not by talking AT them.

He replaced the role that Bish did. Morecambe declared as having the lowest playing budget in the league and they assembled a more than competitive squad.

Some of our younger players recently released are on just above ‘Living Wage’ !!
Don’t know how much lower we can offer than next to nothing !
Congratulations to all the winners, especially MistertonMick what a late run-in.
Look forward to doing it next season, say as and when and it will be there.
That is me done. I will not be renewing.
The way we have treated players this season who happen to be some of those released has been a disgrace. I am not accepting it.

That list sums up our intention going forwards. After the announcement that we are reducing the budget and post match meanderings of the manager regarding player availability through a season.
We then are treated with the news we have offered Jordan Hallam a new deal, he is a good lad and I do feel sorry for him but in 2 seasons he has started 7 games !!
Might not know much of the thought processes of the mastermind opting for this path but what I do know is that I will not be following the pied piper. Enough is enough especially after the waste of home grown. Charlie Barks – I hope that comes and bites back very hard.
Surprised it’s not out already. If Cox told everyone their future Monday what’s happening?
Those released and not getting an offer were told early last week.
Still think 15 to go and offers turned down could perhaps equal 3 more.
Based on recruitment being near to 12 then another coach may be need to work with a specific group in prep for pre-season.
Hearing it is Friday !
Could be that they are awaiting contract offer decisions and that will be the deadline, but this is the honed professional organisation we have become !!
I can’t see Joey Dawson featuring in game days next season.
Don’t believe one word. The ‘leaked’ document took control from the chairman and it hurt.
The supporter has been kept at arms length since the first day of the takeover and they still are. The chairman might hear or read fans concerns but takes no notice.

His negative tactics !!
What about the the present incumbent ? He hasn’t got a clue, his pre-game comments are laughable. His post match ? They are impossible to explain.

I take such managerial comments with a pinch of salt these days !
Don’t know if this is a coincidence but stranger things…..
Seems Gainsborough Trinity have released ALL their players, Mr Cox has said that some of our new signings will be names we do not know !! So that fits. Having a reduced budget that could also fit.
Recruitment strategy is either to find rough diamonds to polish and make a profit on or recruit in readiness for where we could end up ! Even Mr Cox hasn’t realised the situation – he states “Things can’t get worse ” !! But they can there are 2 places below us, they got relegated so Mr Cox it can get worse.
Could indicate if I am making a financial saving for the season.
Bottesford Town could benefit.
So 1 game to go. Then it starts and what a rollercoaster we will be on !!
So from the 9th of May we reveal our retained list – that will be entertaining
Then according to Mr Peter Swanns after comments about those contracts that got cancelled, we will have our squad in place before the end of May. So 22 days to go !Decisions will made regarding season ticket, even whether one will attend again.
