I’m hoping the board are actively involved in seeing the future of the club is secured should Hilton choose to resign, that is the most important take from all this IMO.

Hilton only has himself to blame. His decisions and his conduct.
1) Hilton fails to acknowledge or explain the reasons behind the use of the name Dave Mellors, David White, David Anderson and David Hilton. His sister also uses the surname Mellors instead of her birth name.
2) Hilton fails to acknowledge or explain the reason why David Anderson was banned as a company director for 5 years.
3) Mortgage fraud – Hilton refers to a mortgage broker, I’m surprised he didn’t see fit to name the broker!
4) Hilton speaks about the economic crash (2007/08 time) and losing everything yet he fails to mention what happened to him in 2001.
5) Hilton has failed to mention what was (possibly still is) his biggest problem when it comes to risk/reward.
6) There was no mention of the business rates reduction companies and his involvement. He’s previously said that he was an employee, working as a debt collector. Given recent events, I have a feeling this is likely to blow up.
7) After being released from prison, he talks about being successful and making money, in which specific business?
8) Hilton failed to mention the secured loans provided by Stoneygate 2007 Ltd and Westfoot Investments Ltd in 2018 and 2019.
9) Hilton refers to the directors’ and owners’ test, the point made by The Athletic was whether or not he disclosed his other names. Again, a point he failed to comment on.
I’m no counsellor but being a fantasist and pretending to be something you’re not is in no way conducive to good mental wellbeing. Telling the truth, treating people with respect, not having to look over your shoulder and being comfortable with your lot will prove a good starting point.
Hilton’s f*****, he knows it and he only has himself to blame.

CT, I think there are major differences in what you are trying to compare.
Firstly, Swann saying he was going to leave us in a better position was what he believed. His incompetence is why we are where we are.
Secondly, in reality he has given us more than the ground back (although we don’t actually have the ground!!). He wrote off £11 million in debts, and whilst this was majorly down to his incompetence he could have totally cleared us out. I’m not defending him, but he could have made things a lot worse for us.
DH also seems to want to be popular. He said in his statement that he was a quiet family man. This has not been clear to anybody us as he laps up the adulation from the Facebook group and others.
How unfortunate that we get 2 losers in a row…….

Scunthorpe still has a football club
btw if he goes n the club folds would you shed a tear ???
Some on here wouldn’t batter an eyelid if the club went under. A select few ranks Hilton resigning as more a success than the alternative, Hilton resigning and nobody else coming in with money to buy the club and then ceasing to exist.
They clearly know the club could well and truly go out of business but clearly don’t care.

I can’t speak for others, but I feel as sick as a parrot today. I feel despondent and that our club is dead. Swann slashed us to our last breath and Hilton is delivering the killing blow.

I wish people would give Hilton a chance, he has taken on a thankless job trying to sort this clubs mess out, he has told his story today, I think Simon Elliott is behind him because he’s at most of the games cheering the team on and I believe Hilton keeps in touch with him

You honestly believe that?
I don’t understand how anyone can genuinely believe that.
We are all Scunny supporters and want the club to be successful. However, we don’t want people like Swann and Hilton to be involved.
Swann has a massive ego and appalling business sense, whilst Hilton seems to have limited assets and is totally dishonest.
The idea that if you don’t support DH then you must support Swann is preposterous. It’s a big world out there.

I absolutely defend your right to feel, think and say whatever you like Siderite.
Don’t mind mind me I’m just drowning in the torrent of self righteousness.

Don’t worry, I won’t be saying you are any less of a fan than me (because I don’t think that). I am just offering my opinion and realise others disagree, and aren’t necessarily any less valid. You won’t get self-righteous proclamations about how others want the club liquidated or dead from me, because we’re all fans at the end of the day.

On that we can agree.

I realise I have been babbling on for a while, so will sign off for today now with saying that I hope, beyond my inner feelings and judgement, that you’re right and somehow things can work out. I just don’t know how and feel like we have been utterly destroyed. Maybe 90%, or whatever, by Swann, but Hilton’s alienated me further and further and we are still a circus. Dejection is the closest word to my feeling right now regarding SUFC.
Don’t worry, the rest of my life is fine. :-)

We were in big trouble in January and we still are now. Arguably worse with the GP fiasco.
Listen to his statement, we are being conned, he has always got a justification. He had to steal £68k of public money just to get by.
The level of delusion about this amongst some fans is unbelievable. An ex player who hasn’t been payed properly getting grief on social media is disgusting.1 user thanked author for this post.
There’s absolutely no self righteousness in any of Siderite’s posts on this matter today. There’s certainly much deflection from others. It’s easy to take it out on other posters rather than address the detail of the allegations, the most alarming of which Hilton has admitted to after being found out.

‘Hope he continues on the path of redemption.’
Serious question JI. At what point have you witnessed this redemption you speak of? Today, after being forced to admit? Sorry, not seeing it mate. Hollow words from him in my opinion.
