Might see him in the Lincs Cup later on the season.
Wish him well An OK bloke who dealt with the Hilton farce with some dignity.

Hilton stopped funding the club on 25 January 2023.

He was potentially a penalty kick away from him managing us in the National League- fine margins.
Some classless comments on social media regarding his new appointment, despite his flaws he held together a team that was ready to jack it in last year and god knows what else he had to endure under dodgy Dave.

Now at a level more suited to his ability.The players will surely respect a manager that has worked at a higher level, lack of respect was part of the problem here IMO.

I don’t think any of the comments about Dean are that bad to be honest. Worst I’ve seen is ‘PE Teacher’ and criticisms of his ability. Seen far worse about previous managers. Unless I’ve missed something.

He won’t go down as the worst manager Scunthorpe United has ever had. Far from it.

From recent times Hill definitely Cox probably.

And finished second not a great fan but statistics show he not worst
I would argue a better measure of a manager is how they achieved vs. the tools they were given and the expectations. For example, the job Nigel Adkins did in keeping us up in the Championship in 2010, even though he lost more game than he won that season, is more impressive than say promotion under Russ Wilcox.
My judgement of Dean is, admittedly, slightly clouded by the fact I found him really unimpressive as a leader (those interviews when he sounded like his world had fallen apart after a narrow defeat, you never got that from Adkins) and I found his style of football & refusal to change his approach very frustrating.

Poison dwarf(Hurst) worst one for me with how far he took us backwards in his short time. then went on to blow Grimsby’s cup windfall and nearly got them relegated again. Shrewsbury bottom of the league.
Hill next – just dreadful all the way through.

Not how I remember Hurst, started off poor but once he saw for himself that Kvv was the man and ignored whoever told him he wasn’t, he then started to get a good team together. At the time Swanny sacked him most were disappointed.
Should it not have read Hurst went on to Grimsby and achieved promotion at the first attempt and went on a great cup run getting to the quarter finals CMC.1 user thanked author for this post.
