It’s getting hard to take

[mistertonmick]

This last 3 seasons has become a joke, long runs of games without a win in a couple of runs, and 2 wins in the last 30 plus games is making us a joke, its OK cutting the budget the last 3 years but God knows what we are getting for our money it is a farce, I feel for Keith Hill because he needs to create miracles to keep this lot in the National League Premier never mind the EFL, I feel sorry for those who go to all the away games because they are short changed on goals and attempts never mind results, but it does make you wonder how big our budget is because we are not getting value for money, and Hill said after a week the players aren’t fit enough so it says a lot for Neil Cox and Mark Lillis unfortunately.
Rant over.

I agree. It’s embarrassing and it really highlights how it wasn’t just the ownership at fault. In fact, the ownership stuck by Cox for too long and. Nice bloke, but so out of his depth and it’s really costing us. We have been left as an amateurish outfit.

Recruitment policy by the 21 yr old (non footballing) son of the Chairman and who picks players his agent mate tells him – this will point to the real reason we’re in this mess.

If Keith can play any sort of tune out of these rusty instruments then he deserves a 5 year contract and the freedom of Scunthorpe

Agree Ironawe. Recruitment policy over the past 3/4 seasons has been pretty shocking.

I was talking to Lee Turnbull at the Donny Cup game, he must be loving this but wouldn’t want the club to drop out the league.

[alcazar]

Nah.
You’re all wrong.
Apparently Hill will solve every problem, probably including Covid and climate change, and those of us who have been trying to get others to see the problems at the club have no right to point out the problems because…. we don’t attend games.

[ironking]

Mick the problems were apparent last season, but nobody was looking less those who subscribed to i-player.

Then in the summer any iota of talent was shipped out. Whether it was finances or the worst manager ever being unable to manage them we may never know.

We finished very poorly last season and the summer transfers did not spark any enthusiasm except from those who would find plusses with a 3 legged donkey in a claret and blue blanket playing upfront.

The minor revival last season was when those creative players produced the goods. We no longer have any creativity.

All we are left with is poor players who cant even make up for being shit with hard graft and enthusiasm.

Old keiths task is a mammoth one of gregarious proportions. Our only hope is the January transfer window and somebody who can put the ball in the net.

Gregarious? I would have said gargantuan.

Unfortunately you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. So we have to hope that Swanny sorts the restrictions out and then releases some money for transfers in January. He must have had some kind of pledge, to entice him here in the first place.

[alcazar]

Muahahaha.
Aye.
Right.
Another Swann promise?

[Ironawe]

You also have the problem that Swann thinks these players are good. Said it several times in the press – beyond all football logic that you can think these players are any good.

Swann’s tenure can be summed up in two quotes from the board
‘Morons’
‘pace energy excitement’

Contempt and incompetence in equal measure.

Sacking Cox and bringing in a New Manager has changed nothing apart from taking the focus away from the off the field problems where nothing has changed !
I wonder how long it will take Keith Hill to realise what he’s walked into ?

Oh, I imagine he’s there.
He might do a Holloway yet.

[Iron-awe]

He might ” do a Holloway ” alcy but let’s not confuse a proven lower league manager with a decent success to a West Country Wassock who was more famous for his meandering meaningless comments then his prowess as a football manager. I’m so glad Hill came to Scunny and Swan went nowhere near Holloway, who is very well thought of by the Fishy Forum fans BTW. 😂

Sounded like yesterday if you heard his aftermatch interview on Radio Hullberside.

I sent a text to Lee Turnbull last night to see what he makes of it all and he replied, just keep believing Mick.

[Pat O’Cake]

Cox wasn’t the problem, neither were the god knows how many Managers before him. I and other have been trying to tell you all the problem for a long time yet you all keep calling for manager after manager to be sacked, wake up and smell the coffee people.

Hope he is well, is he anywhere.

[mistertonmick]
