RIP SIR BOBBY, a true gentleman and a fantastic football legend.

Allan Clark? Definite downgrade on John Duncan…

It is going to be a bloodbath, the Palestinians won’t stand a chance with Hamas hiding among them.

Israel want revenge, and that will be the driving force behind their soldiers as they enter the Gaza Strip.

Things could get even uglier if anything comes out of Lebanon. Hezbollah might see the invasion of Gaza as a way to catch Israel off guard…

I hope not, but fear the worst here.

[Lord Kitchener]

We have had more positive news than negative lately. Which is fantastic. But a lot of posters on here are more interested in the negative.

No news is good news huh? UTBI

[Lord Kitchener]

I am happy in this moment, that we have a new chairperson, who is actually an Iron fan. So I won’t encourage any interrogation unless something actually appears to be wrong.

I will not ask others to do the same, but please go a little easier for now. Whatever happens The Iron must survive.

Good luck to the lads for the Brackly match. Hopefully things have happed behind the scenes that will make them more settled now.

I said what I thought was right at the time. It might have taken some time, but Hilton was good at playing the victim. His banning of Matt and others, plus the disgusting description of us, the fans, was the last straw.

[Lord Kitchener]

I figured it out in the end, him using the derogatory word people used to call disabled people was the last straw.

I just want Michele to be left alone to do her job.

A great birthday present for me, to know that The Iron are safe. Hopefully now Swann (Coolsilk) will sell us back Glanford Park.

UP THE IRON!!!

This is one hell of a relief!

Thank you Michele and others, this is what we needed. A new club owner who is known to be an Iron fan.

I just hope everyone lets her get on with her work. We no longer require any ‘bystanders’ of any kind.

Well and truly. I would still like to know who is buying or has bought that land. It’s probably not useful for anything else…

[Lord Kitchener]

Did he buy those plots of land in his own name, or do they belong to our club? We know Swanny will never allow us to maintain Glanford Park, not even for a reasonable price.

I’ll never trust a new club owner again, sick of sticking my neck out for dishonest dead beats.

I don’t think it’s Peter Swann, in fact probably not a man either. A crazy stalker, possible bunny boiler. Not a Scunthorpe fan either…

[Lord Kitchener]

There is no alternative. Regardless of Dave Hilton’s past, he is all we have got, and he is not doing bad.

The usual suspects will piss and moan no matter what happens. Best to ignore…

Ok so the majority of fans on this message board are against David Hilton. But the majority of the football club’s fans are not members of Bru. The Facebook page is pro Hilton, and personally, so am I.

I get the feeling there are some on here who would see the club go down the drain, just because they don’t like or trust the chairman.

It really is quite sad…

I wonder if Smithy will get a start, methinks he will be an important player for us this season. Price to score first with bet void if he doesn’t start?

[Lord Kitchener]

I seem to remember Cox urging one of our players to make a foul and take s yellow card ‘for the team!’ Even though we were a player short. Dangerous at the best of times, some judge of modern football he is…

[Lord Kitchener]

Cancel that, found it. 👍

[Lord Kitchener]

I’m at work today and can’t find the match commentary. Any help appreciated!

4 – 1 The Iron.

Result!

Ok then IB, apart from 2 CCJs, a court case next week to be evicted from the stadium (which in the meantime has a capacity reduction), closing the academy, seriously reducing the staff, and referring to this site as vermin, is there anything Scunthorpe utd supporters should actually really worry about ?

Yeah. A handful of pretend ‘supporters’ who joined just after Hilton took control away from Herr Swann. Always spreading malicious falsehoods about our new chairman and posting prophases of doom and gloom.

Seems they revel in any bad news, whether it is true or not.

In every corner of this green planet, people have committed atrocities. We have all been slavers and all been slaves at some point in time, and kings and queens followed by politicians have treated us all like shit.

The fundamentals in the Middle East are behind the times, but if we went back far enough in our history, we were just as bad, if not worse.

[Lord Kitchener]

Well done Matt. I knew you could do this.

[Lord Kitchener]

In the interest of fairness, I have posted (copy pasted) Mr Hilton’s response to Swann’s accusations.

I would just like to post and say how delighted I am to have Lee and Roj as directors of the club. I had taken Lee off originally along with all others whilst I learnt about the business and the people involved. I have full trust in Lee and his love for the club is undeniable.

Roj Rahman is somebody again with the club imbedded deep in his heart and he is a wonderful human being and businessman. He will bring so much to the club moving forward.

I sincerely thank them both.

I would also like to confirm that creating a board of local people to support me was always something I had planned to do. Like I have said, I just needed to understand the business and people in and around it.

I will openly admit that I underestimated the work involved and the club has had a massive impact on the life I was accustomed to. I’m hopeful that having the board in place will encourage the doubters to back the club in the knowledge that the decisions made will be by numerous local people with a genuine affinity to the club and not just by some stranger from Nottingham.

The new board members (more to follow) will also help me push the club forward with their commitment and expertise, filling voids left by departing paid staff and therefore allowing a bigger sustainable commitment to the playing budget as you have all seen this summer.

The board has not been set up for financial reasons as reported by the negative few on another site. Of course I would hope that all board members will be a financial benefit to the club, but anything they generate will only be used to help the club sustain and compete at higher levels.
I would like to mention my disappointment at the supposed fans page Iron Bru. I have noticed during my time here that their posts are predominantly of the negative variety. I do not think I have seen many if any positive posts. I noticed this in April and reached out for them to meet me face to face and ask their questions. An invitation they declined. It seems this site are far happier pushing their own negativity than finding out the facts. I am also fully aware that they still liaise with Mr Swann. This was confirmed when a question was directed my way containing information that only myself and Mr Swann were privy to.

Whilst peoples opinions will differ which I’m all for, I really do not have time for the minority of cowards that push their own interpretation of events when the truth is only a question away. Especially those hiding behind fake names.

Because of this, one of the first things I will be asking the new board to consider will be an official supporters club to be formed with direct access to the board. Possibly even represented on the board.

Whatever your thoughts about me are please remember this. I saved the club you all love from extinction as I promised at a significant financial cost, I am handing over the running of it to local people and supporters, I have reset the club and together we have built a fantastic squad preparing for a hopefully successful period. I have created a business model that is now sustainable and I have asked for nothing in return. I am obviously very proud to be the Chairman of your Football Club and I promise my commitment will continue moving forward.

One last point, the June 22 accounts were filed a few days late and my apologies for this. It was a slightly embarrassing oversight on my part. It is not the big deal that the minority are using to push negativity again and certainly no reason for concern.
I’m assured they will appear on companies house imminently.

Finally, football is back Saturday and the season is nearly here, it’s now time to unite 💪 and get behind Jimmy and the boys, what is any of this for if it isn’t about getting back to winning football matches

Nah that forum is still around, but I no longer fit in. It might sound strange to you. But as people get older, they often change their minds about things. Let’s just say I’m more liberal now than I was then.

Ha ha ha!

I see you like to keep referring to my name, and of course continue with the ‘racist’ accusations. That’s cool, it’s what I expect, especially from dreary.

But to put things straight. I merely pointed out that it was never my intention to ‘slag off’ the whole forum and all members. Just a handful of stuck up pod bullies here.

Many thanks. UTI

[Lord Kitchener]

We got 11 new players and hanged on to some of the decent performers from last season. Most of our players for next season were signed before pre season, it’s been a long time since we could say that!

So come on, UP THE IRON!
