Yes “let’s just embarrass people publicly by calling them overpaid,”I’m sure that’s what every board member wants, what effing world do you live in?
They’re footballers not baby killers , people want to embarrass and abuse them for not playing a game well?Give it a rest fella. The same world where you want to make piss take funny video topics to ridicule someone trying to do their job.

If “their minds may be on how they’re going to sustain that level of income they’ve got used to for so long”, then it is basically an unforeseen consequence of Hilton’s ownership.
If that is the case then come out and say it as a club. Just say “Unfortunately a number of players were signed on contracts that are unsustainable beyond this season and some of those players have indicated they will have to look elsewhere. We hope the fans will appreciate they are as much victims as any of us of the events of the last year and whilst they will do their best for Jimmy and the team, they have serious considerations to deal with affecting their futures. “As usual as fans we are left to guess and speculate but I think there’s 3 scenarios possibly going on with Scunthorpe United.
1. Jimmy Dean may not be a good enough manager to get this team over the line.
2. Some of the players probably the higher paid, supposedly higher level Hilton signings are coasting as they know there won’t be a big new contract here at the end of the season, promotion or not.
3. It isn’t that easy to beat the teams in this league with full time, higher level players and we just need to recruit a squad of players proven capable to deal with it.
For point 1 – Up until January despite all the off field dramas we were running away at the top of the league so Dean seemed to have the formula then.
For point 2 – up until January despite all the off field dramas we were running away at the top of the league. And it wasn’t all down to Smith and Roberts, so the players seemed to be capable then.
For point 3 – Part time lads probably living locally to whichever team and playing more to be footballers than money plus a few decent loan signings seems to be a good option to do well in this league.
The club know what is going on.
If it’s point 1, get on replace Dean or come out and say he’s here until the end of the season. Silence leads to problems.
If it’s point 2, come out and tell us the players have downed tools, it might be unprecedented to do that but I’d make it known who isn’t bothered.
If it’s point 3, come out and tell us that Hilton’s fantasy signings aren’t the way to go and we’ll be here next season but with a more suitable squad. And if it isn’t Dean at fault, give him a contract now for next season so any players wanting to stay here know they need to impress him.That’s my 10 pence worth anyway

Firstly, that video isn’t a deranged mob or directly in anyone’s face.
Secondly, I wouldn’t expect anything else but disrespectfully from what I see you post on here. You do your nastiness and the fans shouting at actual football matches can do theirs. I’ll defend equally the rights of you and them to be able to do it.2 users thanked author for this post.
I respectfully disagree with you guys on this. You are wanting to have your cake and eat it, and draw your lines where you feel your personal level of being nice to people is.
I am willing to accept someone shouting “you’re a fecking disgrace” after travelling hours and paying for the privilege in the same way I see the piss taking topics and posts ridiculing players and managers.1 user thanked author for this post.
Interesting that fans who have spent a lot of money travelling to Darlington twice get criticised for venting their anger at the players, for certainly one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. But, if the same fans chant abuse at a poor ref, or “get your ti*s out for the lads” at a female official or opposition physio virtually nothing is said or it is dismissed as banter, or they should expect it.
I felt robbed of £9.50 watching it on National League tv in the comfort of my home.3 users thanked author for this post.
Hiltons plan, now let’s see I’ll bring in a young upcoming manager with a great pedigree in lower leagues achieving promotions, I’ll give give him all the players he wants that will be the envy of every other NLN club, now what was wrong with that plan.
Come on awaywego you know what was wrong. He didn’t have enough money to execute that plan, signed all the said players and Dean (who was actually totally unproven at NLN) on false pretences and then went up in smoke.
