Don’t be daft. Wodders takes money out of football not puts it in.

You are to be disappointed then Pat we are all three.
5 short, 5 not good enough, 5 crocks.
No it’s not 15 short before some wag interjects.

Hated not only because of poor performance and poor key decision making but also his character flaws.
Nuttall spent most of Saturdays friendly against Peterborough in the channel he won’t reach single figures out there let alone double.

Taft v Rochdale was clearly out of his depth and either made mistakes for their goals or was slow to react to danger or cover the left fullback.
Looked a lot better on Saturday alongside Boycee.
Not a big Rowe fan who crumbles when people run directly at him.
Agree about Paddy’s scoring and form, he was clearly pissed off here.
Subsequently I have been pissed off that we do not have a goal scorer let alone a regular one.
The issue was not replacing him.
Shite squad, no goals in the team and players still making the same individual mistakes as last season (Rochdale friendly).

Has anyone factored in COVID and Bolton Wanderers from Ernie’s excuses.
Ernie fails to factor in umpteen crap managers, selling Aduleken, Holmes,Townsend and Wallace and not replacing them quality wise.
Oh and selling Paddy Madden our last regular goalscorer to be replaced by nobody able to score more than 10 in any season. Or as currently a team unable to score 10 between them.
Ernie did not lose interest he simply fails to deliver on anything, his attention and money was diverted to the Sands Venue, a multi-million investment of a 5 star hotel in errr Blackpool the home of B&Bs stag n hen weekends and scotch week. Popular for donkies, kiss me quick hats and rock!
Blackpool also once had the worse ever football club chairman!!!!!!
I wonder if he will bring on a centre-half to play in midfield in the closing minutes to make it easy to draw, just in case we are losing?
Something is amiss, Ernie kept saying the fans don’t want him here, when normally he has blustered through with “when you are the chairman you are there to be shot at,” or “in all walks of life when you are in a position of responsibility or leadership there are always people who want to have a go,” Usually followed up with “I have broad shoulders and can take whatever people throw at me.”
I don’t believe he is any nearer to selling the club, just setting up the fans to depart and blame us for not wanting him.
Just a thought, oh and for good measure the consortium will pull out because the fans were ungrateful.

Somebody has put an amalgamation on facebook about Ernest’s intentions going forward, but it is 3/4 theories based on rumour.
It seems to suggest Ernie still wants to press ahead with the flats which is stalling on any sale.
It reads bad but even Ernie is not stupid enough to retain the club at £80k per week loss to reclaim profits in 3 years time, basically any profits from the flats would be eaten away in the losses prior to that. Also surely no one with a modicum of business accumen would enter a financial arrangement which allowed Peter an element of control?

So looking forward to the latest Pawn Podcast.
Don’t want the usual drivel and shite, only want to hear.
“There is a buyer”, “due diligence”, “I will be gone!”
“SORRY”

Reveal the new kit one day, and order the next kit the day after to ensure it is here in time for the close season and summer holiday period.
The club would then sell more to season ticket holders as they first buy their tickets and then come to collect them.
It’s another Iron folly for some reason you cannot collect your plastic card as you pay for it!
I have stopped asking………..
I have it on good authority from poor mans Damien Lewis lookalike Bax Mell that
apparently the box’s (and it comes from a good sauce within the club) contained various models of Ernest Pawn so that he can be in the Directors Lounge at home games.One version was an avatar which unfortunately gave Ernest a blue tinge which could not be scrubbed off, also with Ernest being a tad rotund the Avatar tail had a tendency to pop out the back of an old suit from one of Blackpool’s finest tailors Primarni.
Another version was a blow up type which made Ernest look like he had been purchased from a sex shop, it did not help that the club ordered the realistic version with several open orifices that could be used, further problems were noticed in that the arms were in such a position that it made him look like he wished to dance with everyone.
Another trial was in 12 mm ply-board which although very realistic did not look good in a suit.
The chosen version was a cardboard cut-out which unfortunately for Ernest was assembled wrong, the bottom half of Karin’s cardboard cut-out was attached to the top half of Ernest leaving said cut-out not only looking like a #### but talking like one as well.
The person responsible thought to be the ginger girl in the ticket office has now been signed to play up front with our other striker who cant be revealed because he is launching the new kit which should be in the shops for Easter.
Not impressed but can’t be any worse than the rest of the shite we have on the books.
Glandford Park ground was built undersize somebody measured the OSG pitch and used that footprint.
The other 6 ft of shale along each side was never taken into account therefore we actually got less then we paid for, a full 12 ft less of concrete and seating along each side and 12 ft less across each end.
The smaller playing area has contributed to the shite football we watch where surprisingly the away team each week manages to cope but we don’t!
It’s like the replica kit saga another absolute shambles. Who dreams up these own goals time after time?
The hardcore home support base is down by two thirds of what is was under Graham Alexander.
It’s like somebody sits there thinking what can we possibly do to piss another tranche of supporters off. Hey look we have served up some absolute drivel on the pitch for a few years and they are still here.
Look 30 miles up the road and it’s a different story on and off the field, Ernest Pawn needs to go so people can be brought in with commercial nous and good business acumen.
Our club stinks from top to bottom and I cannot think of a single positive for some considerable time. My loyalty to Scunthorpe United is paramount and unwavering but I dislike everything about the club.
I will not be driven away by the egotistical narcissist wanker responsible.
PS I won’t be buying a replica shirt anyway it’s f……g embarrassing being an Iron supporter without advertising it.

Great first season then he could not be arsed in the second season.
He could not wait to get away either and NOT better himself elsewhere.
On that basis it’s a no from me.

But where should a striker play IronKing???
I want mine in and around the box ready to score.
It’s the one position where tracking back is not really high on my agenda
Centre-spot to penalty spot, don’t want them in the channels or back for corners, want them working both centre-halves with most of their work done in both the 6 and 18 yard boxes where the ball should be put.
Goals are mainly scored from inside the boxes so don’t see the point of strikers chasing the channels. That’s for midfielders, wingers or full backs.
Shearer was a box player hence the number of goals he scored.

Maybe he has taken a different role within the club!
A promotion maybe which requires a greater degree of decorum.
Does some really sterling work actually if anybody is watching, unfortunately its in the channels attacking or defending throw-ins.
Can’t remember Cammy, Greeny, Killer, Flopper, Sharpy or Hoops doing any of that, no they preferred to play down the centre. Just imagine how many more goals they might not have scored if they did!!!!!!!

Against an U 23 side, and we still did not win!
I may well be thick, but you constantly prove to be thicker.
overall Ironking I doubt if our squad averaged over 23 in age.
Thanks Mick, just had it confirmed by Adrian Mole average age 13 3/4.

As dear old UTI-99 calls me thick here is a classic thread that proves who is the thickest of us.

Thought this was about Thursdays pre-match tactics talk and then half-time talks.
Monty Don been round again UTi-99. Where are the goals coming from?
No one to score and no one to create. With a clueless git in charge, who shares your famous gardener.

It’s the Monkey picking the team and tactics. He has an Hill on his back hampering progress.

Your right Cass, some on here clinging to anything remotely positive like ‘can tie his own bootlaces’ meant we signed complete plums like O Neill, Perry and Bunn. Combined they contributed absolutely now’t. As their stats testify.
Another thread title that had me all excited.
