For those who think Hill is our saviour, consider this. Hills best win percentage was at Tranmere 50%. If we got a 50% win rate in the National League that would mean we would get 66pts plus a few draws. This will be short of the 88+ points needed to bounce straight back to L2. If he was to maintain his 6.06% win rate we will be playing Sunday League Football. Cox was sacked with a 21.74% win petcentage. Paul Hutst with 31.6%. Even Alan Knill managed 20% win petcentage. The stats are there to see. Dont swallow the BS.He talks sbout the culture at the club but has done little or nothing to address it. He is as bad as the wasters he has been in charge of & some of those wasters he signed to stem the rot. We cannot keep this management team of Hill & McMahon if we want to be competitive.However, im sure they will be happy to take another years wage for failure.

Hill is not the answer. I don’t know who is, but along with the key change of club ownership needed, I just don’t see Hill turning the tide. Just my opinion.

For a so called experienced manager his tactics leave a lot to be desired he plays with no width our full backs are always exposed to play that way you need 2 very good athletes that can get up and down which all play at much higher level the midfield always seems very conjested and we have striker or strikers that can’t even co trol the ball the one that can harry bunn never got a look in i believe Hill was a centre half in his playing days and our defending has been bloody shocking talks a lot of rubbish at times bit like Colin Murphy used to do at Lincoln so for me bye bye Mr Hill just an opinion

My opinion is based on the fact that an established manager has been tasked with herding cats.
IMHO, as soon as he saw we were doomed, he began to plan for next season. Squeezing every possible minute of time on the pitch out of as many young lads as possible was exactly the right start to planning for next season.
As usual, I’ll say ‘give him til October’. It’s the only fair thing to do and any new manager coming in, who probably would not be an improvement in any case, will not have the faintest inkling of what horrors await in attempting the rebuilding of The Iron.
Judging KH on results is like cutting someone’s legs off and then kicking them in the head because they don’t tap dance.We have sacked too many decent enough managers and every attempt to use the untried and untested has not worked too well.

The strange thing is every manager has got progressively worse, so I don’t know how to address that trend other than sticking with KH. Cox looked lost, KH looks more lost but has more media soundbites in his armoury, tactically I have seen nothing more from him (in fact less than Cox) but another sacking would only work with new owners.
The way the club is run I don’t believe an answer exists.
I do believe we will be NL North at the end of next season because we still have a lot of dross whose level is exactly that. No manager can stop the rot only new owners

Dog’s mess. – Who can argue that?
We need someone in with a very large pooper scooper 💩
You know what? I’m fecking sick of managers loosing their jobs because of the turds they were expected to polish. Having to play half decent strikers down the wing, because we have no wingers. Stuff like that is more the fault of those who hold the purse strings, but no one is sacking them.
Give Kieth a chance, because there may well not be anyone better available.

im firmly of the opinion now that Hill is full of shit and comes out with the same post match BS week after week.. totally unfathomable selections and signings … imo hes not all hes cracked up to be re “”experienced” manager and has just wobbled from one game to the next.
Time to go … hes worse than Cox there i said it !! ,,unbelievable but true.

1) His ‘signings’ were very late January leftovers because a certain party did not lift the embargo.
2) What can anyone possibly say in post match comments? I’ve been a speaker in a number of contexts and saying anything which doesn’t sound like BS is nigh on impossible in his situation.
3) He couldn’t have succeeded – nobody could.
4) Cox created the mess to an extent. I could hardly say that it was all his fault – though.Let KH do the rebuild and then we’ll see. The problem is that we are both totally guessing. You are guessing that he’s crap and I’m guessing that he isn’t. Time alone can tell, IFA.

I’ve been a speaker in a number of contexts too, but what has that got to do with how Hill performs in Pressers? If it sounds like BS, it could well be that. He’s part of a rotten legacy now. I’d prefer it if Lee found an alternative and rebuilds afresh without the stench of abject failure around (and I’m not saying this is Hill’s fault alone by any means).

Cox this past season – 0.74 points per game.
Hill this past season – 0.44 points per game.
Cox was the pretty much the worst manager in our history…that was until Keith Hill came along! How anyone has any faith in this man is baffling. He replaced a lot of Cox’s dross with his even worse dross in January (most oh whom he had an affiliation with from previous roles). Putting out the team he did on Saturday was insulting to everyone involved in that game, culminating in my complete lack of faith that he is the man to potentially turn our fortunes around!

It’s all we are saying.

The silence is deafening! Any new players? any progress? what is the budget for the new season? do you still think Peter is the messiah? Did you find the book of tactics left by Brian Laws in the top left hand drawer of the managers desk?
More worryingly did you read it?
