    I thought he was brilliant. You can tell how much he loves the club and you can’t buy that when signing a manager. Butler’s love for the club shines through and I think he’ll do a good job.

    I don’t disagree. But he needs to speak more clearly – sometimes it’s hard to catch everything he’s saying. I felt the same about JD but he didn’t have anything worth listening to anyway.

    Compared to Jimmy Dean he’s a scholar.

    Agree. Had to rewind several times due to mumbling. Jury’s still out on Butler for me, but he’s set out his stall that promotion is the aim and anything less will be a failure just like it was for Jimmy. Let’s hope he can deliver.

    Just send him on a quick course to get the speech sorted out. There are providers around Scunthorpe. The alternative is another year of hundreds of people shouting “What did he say?” at the radio.

    I’d rather have a mumbler than a scratcher who probably should never have been hired in the first place, let’s give Andy some slack eh, we gave Jimmy plenty and we’ve not kicked a ball in anger yet under Butler, if he gives us attacking winning football and gets us promoted he can mumble all he likes for me.

    The microphone just needed to be closer to him. It was very hard to hear on my laptop.

    I guarantee that even when a microphone is closer, you will still struggle to catch everything he says as he speaks far too fast and into his chest, and doesn’t enunciate very well.

    It’s got nothing to do with being anti-Butler, so there’s no cutting of slack required. I would just like to be able to hear what he says when he speaks, as I am sure he has plenty of interest to say. It’s a simple fix. Slower and more clearly.

    Just listened. I think that’s a bit harsh tbh and he’ll get used to doing more interviews. No need for media training IMO. The interviewer’s (James?) sound was much higher / closer so it’s more a case making sure he’s miked up properly next time I reckon. At one point the passing train’s almost as loud as his speech. If I stuck my phone speaker to my ear I could hear everything he said, but only at full volume. He’s just a quiet speaker, but articulate enough.

    We go from Jimmy Dean who had about as much tactical nous as a piece of wet lettuce and the bravery of the cowardly lion from wizard of oz. Butler comes in clearly loves the club to death, states he wants the team fitter/stronger and is brave enough to play with two strikers and people moan due to way he talks.

    Crazy when you think about it.

    What’s crazy about it? He doesn’t speak clearly and I would like to be able to hear every word he says.

    Listen to the Iron Bru podcast with Michelle, Roj and Butler for another example of often barely discernible chat from him.

    You might have some technology issues. He was a tad quieter than James but could make out every word listening to it on my phone.

    I loved the interview – okay, it was a bit wordy – but look at his eyes. I’ve never seen a manager for the Iron ooze the desire to succeed more than AB.
    I see a man who ain’t gonna tolerate third rate performances (or second rate) as was the case with our last gaffer.
    The proof of the pudding and all that … but this guy has, at least, got off to a terrific start.
    Keep it up once teams get onto the pitch, AB.

    More cotton buds needed rather than new microphones.

    I disagree, it’s not easy. It takes a constant effort.

    It was a constant effort not to switch the volume off when Dean was being interviewed.

    It’s notable that Dean has had absolutely nothing to say since leaving Scunthorpe United – at the least you’d have thought he’d be offering a word to the fans.

    I assume he’s been snapped-up by an ambitious club given the excellent job he was doing here, and his impressive coaching CV?

    Apollo lol, as if you’d believe a word he said. Nobody believed Swanny, Hilton or Mrs B for that matter.
