And if he says ‘There’s just too much coming out of the woodwork. I’m cutting my losses and I’m off’? Who will be the most content? You and me? IA and Pat? Deerey? … or IB and IE?
I have no axe to grind with IB or any other Bru member wishing to highlight possible indiscretions re the owner or club as they see fit but i do feel IBs guise of trying to warn and protect Scunny fans has worn thin and its so obvious he and possibly a couple of others have serious issues with DH for what ever reason… we are all grown ups and can each make our own minds up as to how we see the current and involving situation do we really need to be drip fed all these gory details as it wont help one bit.
One fundamental difference between IB and i would hope the rest of the Bru membership is simply the affiliation with the town and its football club. I joined Bru purely for my love of SUFC, a club i have been supporting since my mid teens and even now fast approaching 60 i shall remain ironfromafar til the day i croak it… waiting to see how things pan out and then planning a trip home to take in as many games as possiblePleased to read that the DH and the new club safety officer have sorted the attendance cap with SAG .. i thought the original capacity was 9088 it appears to be 9147 now ??

The issue here is over the tenure of The EGO the Supporters were told mistruths on many, many occasions.
After 10 years of it trust will not return automatically, it will take time. Perhaps Mr Hilton is the messiah, only time will tell.

Topics: 67There was no Peter Swann, IE or IB to blame when Jewsons Ltd and Rushcliffe Borough Council served their winding up petitions!
Why have they put winding up petitions against Scunthorpe United, if so what for and when, if it against Hilton that has nothing to do with the Glanford Ground, which Swann put into his Company’s tenure

CCJ’s are not issued overnight.
DH will have ignored these payments for months – the poor sods who are owed money are having to spend more time, and money, trying to get what is due to them
We all make the odd mistake, but DH seems to have made far too many far too quickly.
I am not impressed with him to date.

Totally agree all the creditors should be sorted out it seems DH covered this in his recent chat with SST..BELOW
Its a case of if an individual wishes to believe his comments or not … being a cup half full person i do …others like IB may choose not to for their own reasons and intent to damage DH at every opportunity.

CCJs
Acquired lots of debt with purchase of SUFC. There are potentially five CCJs ranging from roughly £350, to the largest which was made public yesterday. DH currently working to authenticate all bills. Unfortunately some have been not received and therefore missed, they will be authenticated paid and set aside as many have over the past few months. He reiterated he had inherited over 600 debts with the football club and threats of court action and indeed action are a daily occurrence whilst debts are authenticated and contracts reviewed. The total level of debt is now reduced since January by nearly 80% and he is working through debts as quickly as possible to clear the remaining.***

Just to say that IB feels that news of CcJs has led to an increased spotlight on him. That’s how he opens above.Presumably he feels that this is some sort of diversionary tactic to take attention away from the ‘true villain.’
IB. Grow the hell up. Get some sort of perspective ..both on yourself, DH and other posters. Your obsession will inevitably take you into a false reality ..delusion .. and this statement is an indicator. It has been your relentless flow of negative information ..including re CCJs ..that has given you any spotlight on here. If you don’t like discussion surrounding you and your motives ..then don’t post.
CCJs are a stain on our club. There has been some decent discussion above. The explanation re the sheer number, validation process, administration of payment, prioritisation etc may be guff ..as you inevitably suggest ..though several posters have found this plausible and been willing to extend some ‘grace.’ Maybe you haven’t been payed, maybe DH bullied you at school, maybe he ran your cat over .. none of us know what motivates you and you don’t tell us. But please .. if you are to keep up this campaign ..don’t bleat when there is a response!1 user thanked author for this post.
If I was the mean-spirited sort and lacking in empathy, I think this is the point where I am meant to ask if you’re OK, Hun?
This subject is clearly bothering you. Backing a loser can’t be nice. You will already be at the stage where you’re questioning your own judgement and unable to decide what is fact and what is fiction. Try not to dwell on it too much.
If you and others want to accept Hilton’s version of events (as reported by SST) concerning the missing invoices and how the CCJs have come about that’s up to you. As I have highlighted in my earlier post, the processes involved in reality contradict what SST has been told. As I suggested to SST, please feel free to speak with a credit controller or management accountant who will confirm the same to you.
I’m going nowhere. For the record, there is only one person and one person only who creates and controls the flow of news, you would do well to remember that.

Topics: 67I wasn’t taking a side in your debate with him. I was just adding a piece of my own opinion.
1 user thanked author for this post.
This question of whether fans should care about DH’s past and present gets to the heart of whether you support just the shirt, or whether you care about the club as a community asset; its people, values, local importance, reputation and so on.
If you only support the shirt, and clap whether it’s good, bad or ugly on or off the field, then fine.
But, those who see the club as a community asset which brings people together, develops youngsters’ attitudes, skills and careers, provides entertainment and jobs, and generally gives an identity, pride and occasionally hope to the place, are rightly concerned about the owner. This is particularly so while recovering from an abusive relationship with Swann, and the decline from Championship to NLN in some 12 years.
There’s history on here of slavish support for disastrous leaders. Not just in football but in politics too, despite many more sensible voices warning of the dangers. The clarity and proof offered by IB’s posts is a welcome voice of sanity, and a weapon against the collective denial of reality in favour of ‘belief’ which has been as fashionable as it has been foolish in recent years.3 users thanked author for this post.
