Interesting to hear Swann talking about Adkins and having his phone number on his phone, get it bloody dialled man!!!
Wouldn’t confirm or deny if Adkins had applied….
Maybe he is trying to get the odds higher so his mates can all get a good price on Hill. Sky Bet are running a book on it!

On Sky Bet he is 5/1 fav. Hill is 6/1. Adkins is 8/1.
Please ye gods make it be Nigel!!

Would be great to see Nige come back. I doubt he would even if some bookies had him as favourite earlier on.
If he did then Swanny would have to agree to quite a few conditions to oil the wheels.

As long as teams like Crawley continue to underestimate us, we have a good chance of beating them and will avoid relegation.
It looks (to all intent and purpose) like The Iron have learned how to fight, and will not allow mediocre sides to simply roll them over.
Long may they continue to improve!

He’s been hiding a while now
I genuinely thought he must have either emigrated or sadly passed away.
I predict he’s been travelling the world abusing people but covid travel restrictions forced him back !
Damnit, you had to use the word ‘sadly!’
It’s sad watching what is happening, even from here. People ask me all the time how The Iron are getting on, they say that the only way is up, but they don’t know how far we have fallen.
Sacking the manager won’t help, partly because we will end up with a shower of shit journey men to chose from. Managers who have tried and failed multiple times. Nobody serious will even want to manage The Iron.
I haven’t the time or patience to work out the average time our managers last, but I bet it ain’t long.
When you are in a hole, stop digging. That is what people say. Yet our chairman is so aloof that he doesn’t believe simple facts of life apply to him. He has been digging for so long that he is going to creat a new fault line.
Like I said, it’s sad.😢
Nobody expected the Iron to get anything from that match. The reality being that we are currently favourites for relegation from league two, and Rotherham are a decent league one side who could well get into the playoffs.
So Neil had nothing to lose, and that have him licence to try something else. I only hope that he was inspired by the way his team can perform, given the correct tactics.
We must continue playing 4-4-2, and force our opponents into making errors.
The season is young, we should not give up the ghost now!

Any protest against the current regime should be done at home, with a sit down protest on the pitch. Get everyone on board, men women and children. Don’t call out the manager or his (our) players, this is all about the oppression of our club by the Swann family.

I’m far from happy with the status quo at Glanford Park these days. But I don’t think the answer is resorting to sacking yet another manager.
If we escape relegation this year, and I’m certain that there are more than two teams performing worse than dear old Scunny. He should be allowed to buy a few more players and aim a little higher next season.
The problem lies with the chairman and his team (family.)

Hold on, there must be black people in Hungary. Maybe not in their National team (yet) but surely those so called ‘ultras’ must be cheering on black players when supporting their local teams?
Perhaps they dislike English players in general. Everybody knows how pampered they are and how much money they get.

I would first like to say that I don’t approve of racist abuse, less still monkey chanting. But I also don’t like this ‘taking the knee’ business.
Personally I won’t boo this, I would simply turn my back on the players while they do it.

Semantics (lol).
I still think that to sack the manager again will solve nothing. The fault lies with Peter Swann, and only his removal and the recovery of the assets he has taken will even scratch the surface.

He inherited a team of players in the last years of their contracts, who were simply not interested last year. Subsequently they were all released and Cox was allowed to bring in his own men, as long as they didn’t cost anything. The problem isn’t Cox, it is the asset stripping Furher who is blaming the players, the manager, the staff and the fans. Everybody is to blame except the one who is (and has been) totally responsible.
To summarise. I have lost count of how many managers have been fired in the last fifteen years. A knee jerk reaction that solves absolutely nothing.

It was James Moody and Alex Kenyon in the Radio Humberside Bay doing commentary, Kenyon has a scouse accent so I will let you guess who was doing the main bit because I didn’t hear it, I had a little chat with Alex before the game and he is a real nice bloke to talk to, he said he is nearly fit to play now.
Not definitely fit to play yet then?

Well done Marty for putting a complaint in, if no one says anything nothing will change, at least your trying, if everyone tried a bit of direct action things might change, Oldham fans are trying various actions, the first failed miserably a group organised a home attendance boycott but ended up getting more in than previous opening day fixture, they ended that one and blamed coved and lack of tickets for away games, the second one went rather better with the pitch invasion on Saturday that has got everyones attention, media wise as well as an fa investigation. Posters on here have a lot to say, it’s about time they backed it up.
I would advise caution, as that post looks dangerously close to inciting a pitch invasion.
