The difference is Derby and Ipswich could sustain a decent Championship team with 20k plus gates or even a tier 3 Premiership side with 30k plus turning up. We would get 5k in the Championship and 7k in the Premiership. Even those gates would need to sell out the away end to achieve.
Anyone with funds wanting to own a genuine lower league side I am sure could probably pick one up for free just now. I suspect you know who is bored playing football manager and is hanging on until he has sold his block of flats with football pitch attached. (Football pitch optional)
Hull can’t sell – they don’t have a ground.

Rowe and Bedeau scare the crap out of me if they’re the 2 central defenders he7 matches to go – no doubt VERY important ones, players will be thrown in who are on a hiding to nothing !
This season has seen the most mismanaged set of players I have ever seen. Mr Cox is the luckiest manager in our history because if the crowds were actually there the gates by now would be at near rock bottom numbers.

The silence for Prince Philip – is a must do.
The taking of the knee is achieving nothing.
I look forward to seeing his team selection, do I have any sympathy for Mr Cox – not in the slightest. We are in a mess even now and it is down to the master tactician who still sticks to a tried and tested format that delivers nothing.

Players get injured but with us as soon as they are deemed fit they are straight back in and then almost immediately get another injury but far more serious.
Buck stops there. Said before same players fail again and again but keep getting picked – Why ?

I think the Chairman could have handled the reply about the old fan who’s been going since 1948 a lot better.
But does nt this sum up how the fans are treated at Glanny Park and shows the real attitude between the Club and the Fans.
Instead of the reply he gave would nt a good PR answer of been something like ‘ I m sorry how you feel at the moment especially after supporting the Club for over 70 years. Please come as the Clubs guest at the first game back ‘As I say about the humberside statements / interviews or the Iron Bru podcasts he does not talk TO the fans he talks AT them ! There is a huge difference.
He goes on about what he has spent, don’t think he has ever admitted how much the club has wasted on some players ! Just some to look at Vose, Margetts, Hallam, Olomola – doesn’t say who got them so wrong. There is no point calling in because it is a waste of time.

Well put CT.
The same pool of players ! The same ones who fail time and again. Our new pro’s from the academy must wonder what they have done. They don’t have a chance, we recruit others failures and ignore our own.
He says we don’t have a CB – we do, he is called Charlie Barks problem is he may be the answer and the Manager won’t like being proved wrong. Look what happened when 442 started to yield points back to anything but.

Our manager declared the last 10 matches were very important, to establish momentum heading into the close season.
After the Crawley game ‘the last 9 games are very important’.
Had enough – ‘target’ away Messrs Cox, Swann & Swann because this season was and still is a collective disaster, own it !!

At the end of the season we will keep many that we have to because of stupid 2yr deals and lose our own who have not had a chance.
Same failures that fit the ‘attacking’ style we have get in the squad week after week. Then we have others who don’t get a look in !
High hopes rapidly replaced with low aspirations. And it does not improve. Said previously why are games now important. Worried now ? Wait for next season !!

Average players got chance after chance and remain average.
Our own developed players rarely a chance. George Hornshaw – got a chance, out of position. Tom Pugh has not had a run of games. Charlie Barks & Tom Jessop – not a chance.
Hippolyte gets chances – the manager wanted him !! Some games you wonder if players know the plan at kick off, perhaps they don’t !!

After the latest Humberside post match one gets more despondent !
Wouldn’t have thought possible. Would not have been my choice but Mr Swann opted for him and after 37 league games I think season ticket sales for next season will be the lowest on record !

We all have our own opinions as to why. Many have tried to move things forward but to no avail.
When the gates are open to supporters I cannot see Scunthorpe fans flocking back. Others will see big increases in their gates I am not sure Scunthorpe United will.

People have little to discuss.
As usual any press releases only draw comments and not involvement from fans.
The pre match or post match manager comments are much of a muchness, and names changed to protect the innocent !!
Most do fear the recruitment will be no different. Our released list will be big and sadly we will lose those who have not had a chance because of those 2 yr deals to some who are simply not league standard.
The style of play will not encourage people to return and it appears a plan that is acceptable to decision makers.

Going to be very difficult. Hearing of one who will not sign what has been offered.
Released list I think will be about 13 but would not be surprised if another 5 will reject offers. That will mean massive problems the longer you leave recruitment. So will it turn out to be a false economy and costs actually rise because we start panic signing.
Gradually some plans unravel and shambles follow. Is this the moment when the route is fixed.

He has probably found some ‘freshness’ !

The whole feel of the game changed for the better when Spence came on, today.
Could have condemned Spence to the wastelands with that comment !
442 works even Mr Cox and the Master Commander realise that, so to ensure continuity we opt for the ‘diamond’ option !!
The gates will not be good when the fans are allowed back in but the decision makers seem quite happy in preparing for a decline. But they know it all.

For me before the initial new recruits we had a decent base to build on. Then the new faces were recruited and quite frankly they weakened the squad substantially.
This set of new permanents and loans 2 seasons ago would not have been looked at. Yet some of the new permanents got 2 year deals for goodness sake. These less than average players got chance after chance and if we had not got Karacan or Taft in we would be near to the bottom 4 !!
Survive this season and many who have recruited such mediocrity will do just the same and I fear retaining league status will be success again. But rest assured the ‘the – we threw money at it comment will be said’. But be confident the new ‘Vose’ will arrive.
