To be honest I am not to concerned with KVV going. Whilst I totally agree that there is some real talent in there, he was too inconsistent, and spent way too much time injured.
That said, he did score some impressive goals in his time here, and that Grimsby goal will forever live rent free in my head.

The real question is not should Cax be sacked but, who in their right mind would take on the role of Manager at Scunthorpe United with the current set-up?
I cannot see there being a long list of credible applicants to take over from Cox. We avoided relegation by the skin of our teeth, the manager has no say in the club transfers, and the playing budget for 2021/22 season will be very tight.

A load of hot air and bluster…
What I take from it is the following:
1. Profits from the apartments will be used to develop the ground and training facilities
2. The ground and training facilities are owned by Coolsilk
3. Improved facilities will likely lead to higher rent
4. Anyone who wants to buy the club will be forced to stay a SVS unless they provide a ground and facilities of an equal standard.
5. We will have to eat a lot of carvery to fund the playing squad.The only real beneficiary from this whole debacle is Coolsilk. Not that much to get excited about!

Well this is sh*te…
I’m glad this carbuncle of a season is over, but now I’m really dreading next season.

As someone much smarter than I once said “Trickery and treachery are the practices of fools that have not wits enough to be honest.”
Seems quite apt when I think about the current owners…

Given we’ve conceded 16 goals in the last 5 matches it is not beyond the realms of possibility for us to concede 6 or 7, or more goals in the next two matches.
We are only 8 goals better than Southend (9 if you include strike rate). If Southend manage to win their next two matches and we fail to add anymore points, we will be close, very close, to relegation, and could easily be joining the Cods!

Other than the 100 year tenure there appears to be a significant lack of any concrete guarantees or announced timescales in the statement.

It is worth noting that there are currently TWO outstanding charges registered with Scunthorpe United at Companies House. The first is to Svenska Handelsbanken AB (a Swedish Bank) in March 2015, and the second is to Coolsilk Property & Investments in February 2018.
For those that don’t know, a charge is often used when a company gives rights over assets in form of a security in return for a loan.
The murky world of business finance!

Sounds like something that a Poundland Roman Abramovich would say…

Forget ‘fan action’ we need the players to actually do some action and start f*7king trying a little harder!!!

Current form from last 8 matches.
Played 8, Won 0, Drawn 2, Lost 6 Goals For 3 Goals Against 18 Goal Difference -15
Looking at Saturday’s match (Bradford) it really is the “Battle of the Shite ‘Uns“. Bradford’s form is slightly better than ours. I did previously state that we’d get a draw, however I am less certain now!
Those that we laughingly call football players have shown nothing but a complete lack of competence to do the most basic of football tasks. There is a lack of desire to fight for the cause, and to say that we are free fall is an understatement.
What disturbs me the most about all of this is that Cox is unable to turn things around, and even players that where trying hard previously are no longer putting in a shift. I did say previously that his public tongue lashing of the players could come back to haunt him, and I feel that, along with the contract withdrawals, has lead directly to the players ‘downing tools’.
I honestly cannot see us gaining another point this season, and if my prediction is correct, we will finish the season with 2 points from a possible 30, and 7 (seven) defeats in a row. If that is not sacking form then I do not know what is!!!
We are now left hoping that Southend drop points!!!
