It was an unacceptable. I felt for Michael who has done an amazing job under ridiculously hard conditions.

He has also got them 4 promotions in 7 years. If a manager took Maidenhead to the Championship he’d attract interest from a Premier League club.
Of course it’s a gamble, but he has more pedigree than is being made out, as if he’s some average non-league manager who only has Peterborough Sports midtable. Look at the context. If Maidenhead were midtable in the Championship it would be a massive achievement. One worthy of a shot at a bigger club.
Yet people are trying to make out Dean’s record is worse than it is. I get that this is harsh on Nelson, who has done well with us so far, and I wouldn’t have been against Nelson at all. However, his record is poorer than Dean’s really. If these things are concerns for Dean, then they should be for Nelson too, surely? Yes, we’re playing better now, but it’s only been a month or so.
I don’t think any choice for full time role will be anything but a gamble.

My point is he should be told by Hilton not Ollie Turner on live radio.

I agree MM but Nelson shouold have known before Ollie Turner knew.
Humberside were already talking about it before the Nelson interview so Ollie would not be doing his job properly if he had not asked the question.
Nelson handled it with class but I suspect he is rather pissed offs evening and it won’t be with Ollie Turner.
I am sure Hilton did not expect it to be leaked before he had the chance to speak with Nelson and to be fair the leak does appear to have come from the the Peterborough Sports end of things.
Shame to finish such a positive week for the Iron on a sour note.
Welcome and best wishes to Jimmy Dean but also hope things work out really well for Nelson be that with the Iron or elsewhere.

Statement on Twitter now from Hilton stating a decision was not made at the time of his interview.
Appreciate the openness but constantly responding to supporters on Twitter won’t end well. Better off deleting the account and corresponding through the club channels.

This is a poor start and bad from he new owner.As for Humberside surely local radio can afford an amount of basic humanity

Timing wasn’t great and should have been told behind closed doors but Hilton has offered Nelson a proper contract in a more fixed position so least it gives him more security now. Nelson’s been here not even on a contract so least he’s still here in some capacity.
Let’s not hate on Hilton already. I thought it was a nice touch from Hilton in offering Nelson a proper contract and he’s keeping in contact with fans and letting us know.
Hilton from this early on is soon to have his manager and assistant in place…has offered Nelson a proper contract in a coaching role, will have cleared the HMRC tax bill and is willing to bankroll a considerable number of signings in a bid to keep us up.
Hilton’s not even been here a week yet !

Well most want forgiveness for Turnbull so it should be easier for them to forgive the new owner, not a good look but he as saved the club.

No hating being done- the situation hasn’t been handled well and we’ll rightly scrutinise.
Positive is that Nelson has been offered a role; whether that works with a new gaffer and his team remains to be seen. I have my doubts.

Topics: 80Yes I was very shocked when Nelson was asked straight out by the Humberside in the after match interview, Humberside should have done a quick check with the club to make sure that Nelson was aware of the situation. On the other hand, Scunny supporters are always complaining that thewy are kept in the dark with EVERYTHING, and the real blame is by Peterborough Sports for announcing the news on bloody twitter.
So as long has Nelson has been offered a contract that he is happy with, we should move on, only time will tell how that statement ends, but after eight years of Scunny fans being spun lie after lie by Swann with his dreams, and the club in free fall to near extinction, don’t let this little blip linger on and on, at the end of the day, this new omner has saved your club, and will obviously want some say in how it is to be run, that is a lot better than the owner not even bothering to attend matches, and running the club into the second teer of non-league football, while he is likely to be off to Wintanton or Ascot, so lets move on guys.

Topics: 80It’s easily explained. This little bloke gets on a sweaty equine and tries to make it run faster than all the rest.
I don’t think there’s much else to add.
Oh! There’s a load of people watching who have placed something called ‘bets’ – loadsa dosh they probably can’t afford and would have been better spent on football.
Easy, innit?2 users thanked author for this post.
