    One a local boy with business acumen and a genuine love for the Iron. A true gentleman who shunned the limelight and made it all about anybody but himself.

    He looked after the club and gave it some of its best times whilst taking the supporters and indeed the community with the team and club.

    Careful and prudent which annoyed some he was loyal to all of his people and they offered loyalty back.

    On the other hand…………..!

    We conceded 2 late goals again, which says to me that the players are mentally and physically unfit.

    Its all Covids fault.

    Covid must be picking the team. Setting out the tactics (laughable), and also be playing in defence, midfield and up front.

    Covid is also stopping some fans from attending and causing worries about people jobs which also stops them attending.

    Ernest Pawn is delusional and has lost a grip on reality.

    Taking the ground and serving up complete dross on the pitch is not a problem or an issue maybe because Covid did not do any of that.

    Never thought I would say this but Cox is worse than Wilcox, and I hated Wilcox.

    A will cox and a can’t Cox led by a complete Cock.

    Two many Cocks spoil the broth.

    I would rather bbq my own arm then listen to Ernest Pawn and his latest missives.

    He is a plum and so is the manager. A right pair of plums.

    Ernest Pawn needs to go NOW !!!! No doubt about that.

    But will getting rid of Ernest make Neil a better manager? No is the answer.

    As Rory Fallon said ‘they came out in the second half looking flat and lacking energy’.

    The team have one serious 90 minute training session on a Tuesday.

    Sunday and Monday off recovery, Wednesday off or light session, Thursday tactics (15 mins probably!) Friday light session pending game.

    90 minutes per week hard training and 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon.

    The alarm bells rang for me last season when you could hear Neil screeching during a game on radio because they don’t work hard enough during the week.

    Then there is the famous we gave players homework via IT and they didn’t do it! F#####G WHAT?

    Record says it all Cox has to go.

    Squeaky man has never managed a League club.

    Furthermore……He has no managerial experience whatsoever. He is surrounded by people with no knowledge about coaching a football club and would not have a clue in the transfer market.

    If Peter Swann said shit he would leap onto the shovel.

    Oh dear

    To lighten the depressing mood…….

    Ernest Pawn is a thoroughly nice, decent, honest chap who always fulfils his promises and is a committed ardent Iron fan.

    Lex Icon is 3rd in line for the England job when Southgate leaves behind Steve Housham and the bloke who sits in row C seat 65 of the Whartons stand with the squeaky voice and spends all match shouting at the linesman.

    It has now become embarrassing we are getting outplayed every week at home. The second half performances descend into chaos, clueless absolutely kin clueless.

    Rory for me had a confidence issue which is always a massive part of a goalkeepers game. Bringing in other keepers continually would not have helped.

    I had seen him play for Gainsborough Trinity on loan from Hull city where he was also an England U18 keeper. He was a cut above everybody at National North level.

    I did not see any games on I-player last season so had no preconceptions about any player. Of the 3 center halves Davis may have something, Manny though not the best tries hard, Taft however does not impress me at all. Not one of the current defenders is a patch on Jacob Bedeau.

    A five man under performing defence does not help any keeper, though commanding ones like Joe Murphy and Matt Gilks were imposing enough to ensure any defence gave 100% all of the time even on an off day.

    I will say it again though we lack a strike force of any sort less Loft and Scrimshaw who both graft. Up front is where your defence starts and I am sorry but Jarvis, O Neill and Green ain’t the answer, neither is the kid who got a brace pre-season.

    FA doctrine is on negativety and defence, Southgate epitomizes that train of thought.

    Sadly as suggested he is the most successful England manager for some time without actually winning anything. Despite having a squad of world class players.

    Most English managers and coaches have the same mentality towards the modern game and natural goalscorers/strikers who can play in the box are becoming less and less as they are expected to traipse back behind the ball all the time to defend.

    Just look at the number of coaches/managers in the Premier League who are English or British.

    To finish on a disturbing fact no English manager has ever won the Premier League.

    I think the Cass has tee’d somebody up to link his title to the exact opposite
    of the ventriloquist ie the dummy!

    But nobody has bitten yet.

    Dear old Trevor I find that he gets 80% of his decisions the wrong way round!

    Always infuriates and we rarely seem to win when he refs.

    He is the modern day equivalent of Gilbert Napthine from the dear OSG days.

    I’ve been a big critic, was by no means outstanding or a massive goal threat today, but put a shift in and didn’t look out of place.

    Okay yeah he looked busy, all his work however ie grappling with the Tranmere centre half was 10 yards outside the penalty box. Once the wrestling finished so was his attack there was no second movement into a more forward position.

    No shots or headers on target and didn’t get into the 6 yard box or even look a goal threat also he did not chase everything down, often leaving balls not directly to him or missing him for others to chase.

    By contrast, the week before Scrimshaw was all over the Sutton defence in all area’s. He chased everthing and looked a constant goal threat.

    I wish Mr Jarvis well and desperately want him to succeed. Work rate needs to improve dramatically though.

    Sorry we need a striker.

    In Loft with Scrimshaw playing off him we may have a decent goalscoring pairing.

    Beestin will wade in from midfield other than that no real regular scoring threat.

    Maybe UTI-99 can enlighten us all on how the delay to the hotel aspect of the Sands Venue Blackpool is impacting on the development at Glanford Park.

    Only the Wild West Diner and Spy themed bar are open as yet to the public with reports that it will be another year before the rather impressive 5 star venue is opened.

    PS tee’d somebody up for cowboy and bond baddie references!

    Oh I will be there alright.

    I once vowed that no Chairman, manager or set of players would ever break my resolve or undying love and loyalty to my club.

    Unlike some my word is my bond and a matter of honour.

    Trust me all three elements have been testing me for several seasons. But I am a stubborn bastard.

    In making that vow I never said I would stand by and watch idly as my club is wronged now, in the future or the past.

    And I am not!

    What would actually be sold and bought?

    There is no tangible asset of any value, somebody wishing to own a football club in this Town would be better off setting up from scratch playing non-league and working their way up the football ladder!

    I must point out that Ernest is doing this in reverse order.

    Annual accounts going forward there should be no depreciation costs for the ground.

    Glanford Park seems to have disappeared somehow!

    I have been quite impressed with the Iron in the two friendlies thus far. Look to playing a more traditional 4-4-2.

    Watson, Collins, Davis, Taft, Onariase, kenyan, Beestin, Loft, Thompson and O’Malley all look decent.

    The lad at 4 v Hull City was very impressive great vision, good range of passing and covered a lot of ground.

    Greene was wearing the captains armband v Burton but yesterday Davis wore it first half and never stopped talking/organising. Taft wore it 2nd half.

    Well done to Lex Icon might not be all doom and gloom afterall.
