As we stand currently – relegation looks a certainty.
Imminently – there will have been a whole week of training with just one new body in the setup.
As Tom points out, we’ll soon be into pre-season games and even if signings are made at this very late stage – this is appalling preparation for an allegedly professional football club.
I have done ‘my Cassandra warnings’ about the twin dangers of late signings and players who will not have had enough time working together. Cassandra’s warnings were doomed never to be heeded.
This means that there is one difference – the Iron fans do indeed recognise the dangers but the powers-that-be do not – or maybe choose not to do so?9 users thanked author for this post.
The only surprise in this post is that it’s taken this long for the OP to begin to lose hope. I thought hope left down several years ago!
Running a successful club is about more than just spending money, it’s about making best use of the resources you have available. It feels a long time since the club over-achieved on its spending.

Think this is what Swann actually intended when he said Gainsborough would be as big as Scunthorpe (I don’t know if he actually ever said that, but for comedic value, let’s presume he did).

Every passing day and the hope diminishes ever further.
Never imagined it could be this bad.
Too little training together equates to a poor start to the season. (Again)3 users thanked author for this post.

Topics: 11Yes plenty of time for the loanee bus to rumble into town with two or three jumping off at glanford park. You no the ones..been on our radar a long time,shown a lot of promise ,highly thought of,and a third team goalkeeper under twenty years of age. Oh how that whispering will start in the changing room.

‘Relax’?! Not being funny UTI99, but you’ve been trusting in Swann for years now and look where the club is. How can anyone relax?

I don’t care what anyone says – Hill cannot and must not be held responsible for him managing a sixth rate squad in a fifth rate division.6 users thanked author for this post.
I lose hope everytime Uti99 posts his pro-club “everything in the garden is so Rosey, Monty Don must be the gardener”,stuff.

I would think in those trialists he will have a couple of possibles. Also would not be surprised if a keeper was being kept secret. Unless of course wonder boy has been in training !!
As usual the EGO does not like people to gain any enthusiasm, been like for the last 9 years.

Topics: 11The season is 5 1/2 weeks away yet.
Our first home friendly isn’t for another 2 1/2 weeks.
The National League also doesn’t have a transfer window so we can add to the squad as and when players become available. Relax.You are completely (maybe deliberately) missing the point that les and others are making. Yes, we have 5 1/2 weeks until the season starts so we could sign players then and later but the players then have to integrate and probably catch up fitness wise. Surely even a blinkered “I’ll clap whatever” like you can see how problematic this is. We can sign 10 players in December, integrate them by February and have them fit for March just in time to participate in next seasons relegation. All players need to be ready to go in 4-5 weeks to give us the best chance of survival.

Topics: 11I’m trusting in Hill, otherwise we’d already have more Jarvis, Mooney, etc type signings in the building.
Well I think we can all agree that Keith “2 league wins in more than half a season” Hill has proven himself without doubt to be worthy of this trust, especially with his stellar signings such as Joe “2 goals” Nuttall, Liam “tricky winger” Feeney or Sam “disappeared by April” Burns?
I’m trusting in Hill, otherwise we’d already have more Jarvis, Mooney, etc type signings in the building.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement of the former chairman, is it?
