P 32 w 2. D9 L 21. Not very impressive,even with all the constraints on him. Not exactly a tactical genius. Get rid before we drop any lower

If he’s any self respect left he’ll resign.
Unless he has a cunning plan!

Haven’t read his match report yet no doubt it will be. The boys gave their all. Rebuilding takes time proud of them. The usual rubbish to hide his failure. Lambs to the slaughter.well done to anyone who traveled to watch them hope you get your money back

NuttallThat team still probably gets beaten at Bristol today but they would not have embarrassed the club or scarred a bunch of teenagers trying to make their way in the game.
I really feel for the likes of Lobley and Foster. In my opinion Hill has put the juniors out to protect his own reputation and shows no respect for the youngsters, for Northampton, for the integrity of the game or for Scunthorpe United.
Supported him fully since he got here but he should be at the Job Centre on Monday.

I can no longer defend him after that interview on Humberside. Time to go Keith.

ctually disgusted at what Hill did today. He’s not planning anything he’s destroying confidence. Don’t give me the BS about seeing who has the right attitude. This is what happens when these players come up against a team who isn’t on the beach playing reserves and has something to play for.
He is just ruining careers before they start. So do we wait until 8 defeats and 2 draws into next season and then get rid – with the burden of his team in place – or do we get rid now? He has a lot of cards that he has played to forgive this shower but today was just embarrassing for everyone connected to the club. I watched that today to say goodbye to the FL status but it was maybe saying goodbye to SUFC. Swann (and Hill) have a lot to answer for6 users thanked author for this post.
As a Dale fan I am sorry to see you guys go out of the league and hope you bounce back to the FL as soon as possible.
As for Keith Hill he was and always will be Rochdales greatest ever manager and I know how much he will be hurting like everyone else at SUFC.
Is he outspoken-Yes
Has he got a big gob-Yes
Does he make mistakes-Yes
I could go on but give him a chance to build a squad during the summer and I am sure he will turn your fortunes around.

Rafc, he might have been your best But he is our worst, and that is saying something after following on from Neil Cox. Good luck to you, shall miss your chippy.

Wheres all that Keith will lick em into shape, he won’t stand no shite, he’ll stand up to Swanny or he’ll walk bullshit, in his interview today he more of less said the players are doing what THEY want, more up Swannys Arse than the previous incumbent. I do hope he’s gone next season.

i was happy to see KH come here .. gave him time as he did inherit a crock of shite from Cox .. alas times up and his so called experience and footballing nous have been missing in action with constant strange team selections and signings culminating in total and utter embarassment today.
bye bye the the EFL and so it should be to Keith …thanks …for nothing.

KH did himself few favours with the fans by standing up for you-know-who when all he had to do was grit his teeth and remain silent.
As our tame Rochdale fan has sort of stated, ‘The guy does know what he’s doing – give him a chance.’
(After all – he hasn’t really had one yet!)Incidentally, how many of those youngsters, knowing the dangers, would have opted not to play yesterday? – Suspiciously close to zero, I’d expect.
Important lessons were learned – and if that makes ’em go running whimpering into a corner – then so be it. It’s a tough life – get used to it or fail. They are not hothouse plants.He might have said it’s not the swann’s fault to protect his job, but he did say he needs total control with regards recruitment and his budget. We all know our managers haven’t had that and it’s cost us in recent years.
What hill said about the bad attitude and culture was the same as what karacan said at the end of last season.
We need to clear out players with the bad attitudes and inadequate ability. I think hill deserves to be judged when he has a competitive squad. This squad would be comfortably relegated regardless of who was in charge.I thought it was a good appointment and expected with his experience he might be able to turn it around and put some fight back into the team. Unfortunately not and is now turning the attention to the bad apples in the team .surely it was his job to manage these players either to crack down on them or bring them on board. His stats here are dreadful. Tactically I don’t think he knows what he is doing.we gave up the season too early with this rebuilding for next season yarn to keep himself in a job .hopefully I’m wrong and he does it for next season but sorry Keith look at your results her and admit you failed

When Cox finally got the bullet there were two names being bandied about on here. Hill and Adkins.
Very much a head vs heart decision. At the time of his appointment I think most were satisfied with it.
Maybe what followed was as much a shock to Hill as it was to us fans.
Robbins given a new contract with Coventry this week. Alexander, after his usual springtime dip, aiming to get Motherwell into Europe (KvV with the winner yesterday). Even Russ taking over at rock bottom Farsley and keeping them up by the skin of their teeth.
We’ve had some capable managers under Swann but each time it’s gone tits-up.
Things have to change. Personally I can’t see it happening without a complete clear out, top to bottom.
The thing is, if we chose the best available last time, who the hell are we going to get now?

Regardless of circumstances – worst manager in our history bar none.
We were always going to struggle this season but there is absolutely no excuse for the way we’ve been relegated. Gutless, clueless, without fight, without pride, without any desire whatsoever. And that’s not the players. The manager made his mind up a long time ago that we were down and he was going to throw the kids to the wolves. His time here was optimised by starting young Lobley yesterday then hauling him off. He’s absolutely diabolical.
If, and currently it’s a big if, but if we do get new owners then the first job they must do it get a new manager in.
I’m not a fan of sacking managers and I firmly believe much of Swann’s downfall has been from doing that far far too often but that can not excuse not sacking Hill. He’s atrocious.
We all know where the root cause of the problem lays but it’s essential when that problem is gone, we must not start next season with Hill at the helm.

Oh great. We are to start looking for someone better than the highly respected Keith Hill; somebody with a better record and starting the whole absurd management replacement thing once more. Terrific.
Didn’t the former Chairman said he’d pay up the debt IF needed to allow proper signings in January.
If that’s what happened – then clearly ALL blame is on Hill.
If it did not then …Too many people have got upset about awful results when the season was already dead. Playing young uns was exactly the right course to take. Planning for next season
Mr Hill is now saying that the players were ill disciplined and that this is one of the main reasons for the clubs failure. No mention of why this was allowed to happen. Mr Hill may have been a success in the past decade but he has not motivated the players one iota. He has shown us NOTHING. He now goes on record as saying Bolton and Tranmere threw him under the bus. You gotta ask yourself why. Bye bye Keith its time to be thrown under the Scunny bus. We cannot suffer any worse than we are now. As many have said we need a total clear out.its time to start again.

Codswallop! Results were awful (and worse than Cox!) before he decided to throw every youngster possible into the firing line.

Lesgeo.Our opinions differ on this.I agree that Hill was highly respected but is he now?His recent managerial record is nothing to shout about.
I take your point re. Swann and January and completely agree that he is the root cause of our problems.
I umderstand that Hill cannot be seen to criticise him at all,but to still be coming out and saying that our problems go beyond Swann is a step too far for me.
Hill joined us in November.Surely the season wasn`t dead then.
His record with us is abysmal.,worse than Coxs,culminating in yeterdays horror show.
What is better now than when he arrived?3 users thanked author for this post.
Swann has officially put the club up for sale, that’s what’s better since Hill arrived!!! Guys have your say by all means but stop griping about the last few months, it’s the last four years that have done for us. Playing weakened teams, not signing better players, not going down with enough passion!!! What a load of bollocks, get over yourselves and see what happens with new owners and a new season with a chance to sign players that actually want to come and are good enough. If not it’s relegation again or liquidation, you will bloody moan then.
