À la Michael Barrymore’s Strike it Lucky.

In season 2022-23, will Scunthorpe United finish the season as:

1 Champions.
2 Play Off Winners.
3 Play Off Runners Up.
4 Play Offs.
5 Top Half – 8th to 12th.
6 Bottom Half – 13th to 20th.
7 Bottom 4 – relegated.
8 Bottom – relegated (no administration).
9 Bottom – relegated including points deduction due to administration.
10 Bottom – results expunged due to liquidation.

Without new owners or investors can’t see anything other than 8,9 or 10.

With those in charge now. With same flawed recruitment brains still involved No. 6 and that will be a fluke !!

Look on the bright side, if we had got relegated last season we would be in National League North next season.

[PorthlevenIron2]

Realistically I think the best we can hope 4 will be outcome 6.

[S11D]

7 or 10.

[Iron-awe]

Based on the last four seasons and fearing this total shit show is gearing up to get worse, I would take 6 now. Sorry to say I fear 9 & 10 seem a very realistic outcome at this present time without new owners on the horizon. 😞

I predict that our club will be saved from liquidation at the very last minute, by a consortium of people who started their working life at SUFC. We will probably get demoted too. But we will bounce back from this one.

At this moment in time I think a 5 or 6 just hope we avoid any hot spots.

[Sharp_Shooter24]

Currently all we can hope for is 6!

If Peter accepts an offer (ANY OFFER) and gives us both the separation we need then who knows what’s possible

IF Peter is not here next season and we get in 4/5 interesting recruits I’d expect 2,500 – 3,000 attendance most weeks!

If Peter doesn’t sell and continues to recruit as only he knows how then we are well and truly F**K*D

It obvously depends on if the club is taken over by new owners, if this happens I feel it will be option 6, with the club finishing the season in 16th or 17th position, but if Swann holds on to the club and will not accept any reasonable offers, then I am looking at option 10, because that way will suit Swanns thinking of getting the most money from his companies ownership of all the clubs assets (LAND ETC). Swann has proved that he has no interest in SUFC as a football club, and his handling of things backs up that statement, the club is presently practically worthless, with no desent players, no money, no stadium or land, and have lost 2,000 regular supporters because of there being no point in attending games, the team has not won a game in the last 17 matches, and the entertainment served up at GP is non-existant.

I still have that feeling that Swann will hang onto the club ownership, simply because he actually believes that it is not his fault that the club has sank to record lowas under his ownership, I am sure that he blames the fans for all this.

Best we can hope for is 6 but alas as previously commented if no new owner comes in and Hill n his kids remain i fear its more likely 7 to 10

[DarrynStampGoalMachine]

If you offered me 6 now I’d gladly take it.

Depends on recruiting, and with the recruiting from last seasons in mind, my expectations are not that high… Hopefully mid table, but for me the way of playing football is more inportant than results, as long as we stay out of the bottom.

[MK Iron]

I think I would settle for not having an even worse team than the season before.

It’s something we have not managed to achieve for 5 years but the bar is about as low as it could possibly get for a supposed professional football team so we might just achieve it.

I appreciate Turnbull and Hill’s hands are tied with regards to binning Cygnet but surely they don’t have to listen to him anymore.

Seven.

Based on my belief that even with Ernest gone it will only focus attention on other issues ie an extremely poor pool of senior players, supplemented by inexperienced youngsters regardless of future potential or willingness.

A manager who raises questions on his abilities going forward.

Only enough income to survive as a club, being in the National league is a small element of our impending struggles.

The damage done by Ernest to the supporters base on many many different issues is too severe to see them ebb back in their droves even with new owners.

In days gone by, Leagues 1 through to 4 (Prem to L2) we’re the ‘professional’ clubs.
Non-League were part-time amateurs.

We all know things in the Conference / National have changed these days but…

Non League starts with the National League.
Does non-professional start at NLN?

[Northumbiron]

We’ve displayed non-professional qualities for quite a while now.

The transition should be seamless.

[SODIron]

À la Michael Barrymore’s Swimming Pool….we’ll likely struggle and could well sink!

[f row crew]

6 / 7. Somewhere between 16th and 22nd as things stand.

Michael Barrymore – seen recently at Forest Pines…

The bookies have Option Seven as odds on now.

To finish bottom of the league would be beyond humiliation.
