Really hoping Foden keeps up his form for the Euros. He’s been incredible this season and a joy to watch.
I’ve not watched Ingerland since South Africa 2010.
Bang that drum, toot the vuvuzelas, footballs coming home… lol
I gave up hope of international success years ago.
2030 marks the centennial of the inaugural World Cup – will we ever host it again, lest win it?
Who cares?
I’ve not watched one MotD or any other ‘highlights’ show all season.
In 2022-23 I may have seen a few minutes of a handful of Sunday morning’s televisual offerings.
I think the last full game I watched ‘live’ (dodgy stick) was the game when Leicester won their title in 2015/16.SUFC and my Spanish RFEF (Real Federación Española de Fútbol) Primera Federación team is what keeps me interested & entertained.
I’d like to be the first to congratulate Manchester City on winning this seasons (2023-24) Premier League title.
After finishing as champions in five of the last six seasons and six times in the last ten seasons – it was so predictable!
[Runners up twice during those ten years to boot]
Six League Cup triumphs during the same period.
We may as well congratulate them on winning that trophy again too.
Premier League Odds:
Man City 8/11
Arsenal 9/2
Liverpool 15/2
Man Utd 10/1
Chelsea 14/1(Wow!) Champions League Odds:
Man City 1/2
Bayern Munich 2/1
Real Madrid 8/1
Barcelona 12/1
PSG 12/1FA Cup & League Cup
Man City 3/1
The next priced clubs are 7/1 in either competition to succeed.
A very dim & dull season ahead according to the bookies!
With 30 minutes to go…
And on 61 minutes; Man City make it 3-1 and the champagne is flowing!
6 titles in 7 years!
Pointless competition nowadays!
I’d list them as 1/5 favourites for next season!
Shall we congratulate them now for winning next year’s crown?

“Look after YOUR club”

Legends game.
I read a few weeks ago that on average, we take about £50k in gate receipts for a game?
Once the seasons finished, how about a Legends fundraiser the week after the concluding league / play off game?
Iron Claret Legends v Iron Blue Legends
12 claret legends and 12 blue legends.
6 legends play the first half for each team and the second set of 6 legends play the second half for each team.10 fans play for the clarets and 10 fans play for the blues.
The first set of 5 fans play the first half for each team, the second set of 5 fans plays the second half for each team.Claret team = 6 legends & 5 fans
Blue team = 6 legends & 5 fansFor £500, twenty fans get to pull on the claret & blue of Scunthorpe United FC, get changed in the changing rooms with their heroes of yesteryear and to actually play 45 minutes in a game with and against their idols!
20 x £500 = £10,000
2,000 (attendance)(a guess) x £15 = £30,000
Program, food, drinks = £20k (guess)
Sponsorship (annual Legends Trophy) = £5k (another guess)Total revenue = £65k
If match day staff volunteered their labour, then this minimises the costs and maximises the funds raised.
Just an idea. It might be a load of tosh or it could be a good opportunity?
LT would be a perfect match-day commentator over the PA.

7 days a week business… I’ve heard that touted many times.
Here’s another idea.
Young Iron Day Care Nursery.
Morning 7:30 – 12:30… £35
Afternoon 13:00 – 18:00… £35
Short Day 8:30 – 16:30… £50
Full Day 7:30 – 18:00… £60Obviously you’d need trained, qualified staff and the equipment and environment to deliver.
You’d not be making, selling or repairing anything, no stock to check & purchase, no wastage to throw out, no shrinkage from shop lifters etc.
Day nurseries are obviously always going to be needed. Demand for places will continue to rise in the coming years.
It’d generate a guaranteed Mon to Friday income stream.
Donny Rovers have a set up along those lines:
1300 last season.
Michelle’s first full season in charge.
A 25% uplift on the 1300 would be good.
I’ll go with 1625 to 1650 season tickets for 24/25.
I think everyone will be pulling / rowing / running in the same direction next season.
Owner, Board, Manager, Technical Staff, Club Staff, Players and the FANS all in it together.We will be a completely different animal next season.
We will be champions.
It will be tough – but we now know what’s needed to get out of this league.Our average gate for our Championship winning season will be 4,375

Muzzy is a specialist coach.
He’s got all the tickets.
He’s got all the experience.
He’s got all the knowledge.Do you not think that he himself doesn’t get frustrated by the fact that his ‘pupils’ aren’t as good as he was or able to do what he could do?
Michelle, LT, Lou, AB, Muzzy – they were there when we enjoyed our best times.
They are the people who have the clubs best interests at heart and to one day return it to the EFL.I believe Daws now works for the EFL as an auditor or regional officer.

800 plus games to draw on.
If we need a keeper coach and he ticks all the boxes then why sack one to replace with another.
It’d cost to terminate him.
He can only work with what he’s got in front of him.1 user thanked author for this post.
Should we all get off of Muzzy’s back?
To qualify to UEFA B level, a goalkeeper firstly has to acquire his UEFA B outfield licence.
Then, to get their UEFA A Goalkeeper’s licence they must firstly pass their UEFA A Outfield licence.
Muzzy was a terrific keeper for the club. Him and Murphy have to be the best I’ve seen.
Let’s stop ridiculing him and get behind him and the team.

Jimbob out.
Butler in.Drinks on Andy?
an Anglicisation of the French surname Boutilier.
Butler an English occupational name that originally denoted a servant in charge of the wine cellar!Cheers.
No surprise.
Pugh to go?
Poulter?Butler’s got the nod.
Is he taking medication for it?
Whitehall
ElliotHow many would not like to see that duo turned into a forward partnership? There may well be 50 goals (fitness allowing) to lead our season into a real title challenge.
A stay on your feet Whitehall & Elliot combo played in a 4-4-2 would probably have fired us to be champions this season.
To win, you’ve not to fear losing.
Jimbob couldn’t grasp that!
Well done Michelle and her board, it was the only sensible option
Thankfully logic, common sense and forethought & planning prevailed.
He was a puppet general installed by WHAM to undertake his car crash plan.
Paid well to take the crap that would have hit the fan if we’d not ‘outed’ WHAM.
Thankfully the people connected with the WHAM era have now being eradicated.
Muzzy is Muzzy and he’s ‘bomb & fireproof’ lol.

S&C coach not needed at this level.
Robing money.
A few loose weights and a handful of ageing low tech machines in a tiny area under the stand next to the kit washing ‘room’.
It’s hardly high tech, space age leading edge.
The area isn’t fit for purpose.
I’d be surprised if he did more than 60 minutes ‘work’ with the players each week?
We need to save money not continue throwing it away.When in doubt, don’t.
Benjamin FranklinIt was good enough for one of the founding fathers.
He was a daft lad trying to serve Baked Malabar Scallop football at our level.
Pie & Peas footy is the order of the day.I’m chucking out the idea of chucking it in.
Jimbob terminated.
Happy days!
Back on board.1 user thanked author for this post.
Likely to jump ship back to Oldham or even Chezzy when the going gets tough during the festive spell.
Cheerio!
If you know football – then you knew he was way out of his depth!
Good riddance!
Useless!I was thinking:
