Should relegation happen this season it will be for two reasons.
1/ The EGO
2/ The jealousy

81/82 might have been a really bad season but we scored 43 goals. Will be lucky to score 30 this season the way we are going. Can’t imagine the entertainment value was as poor that season as it is this !

In fairness, so does this years team most of the time.
Just nowhere near good enough

Can accept the ego bit with Cox not prepared to change his way of playing, but don’t understand the jealousy bit.
Not on about Cox and ego this is solely owned by the Chairman. At any forum meeting where people had ideas that could have helped he would not accept the idea with good grace. He stated that no matter what, someone will want something for it !! And he knew what was needed anyway !!
Jealous of what Mr J S Wharton had achieved over the years and wanted to be better -cost no problem !
Thing is he wasn’t better, he wasn’t even equal !!So here we are.

That is my belief.
The fat man STILL thinks it’s all our faultSo he seems to be letting us fail.
That’ll show us.1 user thanked author for this post.
I don’t remember Devries,I was only young then,They were all great in those days
Roger De Vries a right fullback from Hull City. Owned a car dealership in Hull after his playing career finished.
The team and squad of 81-82 was better than today’s derisory offering. The lads back then cared for the shirt and we went into each game with hope and optimism.
It was the last season playing in red and the first season ever of a coloured programme. We can’t even get that right now.
We are poorly run on all fronts with baffling off the field decisions. In fact somebody fiddles whilst Rome burns.
The aforementioned squad is missing Ronnie Goodless a winger from Everton who was superb at our level.

I don’t believe you Les, everything was rosy until 2013.
I can’t make my mind up as to whether you are just thick or deliberately missing the point over and over to just wind people up.
Nobody said everything was rosy until 2013. The fans knew we were not a great side in those days, but what we did have was players that would run their knackers off for Scunthorpe United, I personally can accept my team getting beaten if I can see that they have given their best for the paying supporters. I don’t support Scunthorpe United because I think we will be challenging for silverware at the end of a season, I support them because they are my home town team, and because I used to feel part of something, and always had hope of the odd cup run or a push for promotion every now and then. Right now there is no hope of anything other than another toothless preformance and 11 players rolling over for the opposition every week. Our previous Chairmen didn’t make promises that were impossible to achieve and recklessly spend money chasing glory while plunging the club into millions of debt! The club is a soulless pit with fans and owners poles apart whereas years gone by we were in it together, win, lose or draw. OSG was a shit hole but it was our shit hole, now there is nothing, no togetherness, no connection between club & supporters, no matchday experience, no hope & nothing to look forward to……thank you Mr Swann.

You were wrong about Altrincham getting a big club they only played Liverpool.

That I think is the EGO – cannot admit he isn’t/wasn’t good enough. It isn’t about the money it was how the money was spent and wasted has to be the only explanation.
