    I’ve not dropped anchor in their waters for ages – are they still laughing their fins off at us or are they trawling elsewhere now?

    Rance is still technically our player and hasn’t been paid off yet

    Wow. Just add that to the list of unpaid bills!

    Academy staff haven’t being paid redundancies yet either.
    WHAM closed it in early August.

    You’d never keep 11 players on the pitch – they’d be constantly running off to deliver a takeaway or wash a car.

    The biggest thing he’s brought in is the feel good factor, and yet people want to crucify him, Simon and Ian who lied to us when they told us they had bought the club when in reality they hadn’t photo included, are held in such high regard wtf comes to mind.

    The feel good factor comes with a cost attached and as things stand it is clearly unsustainable as the club is unable to settle its liabilities as and when they become due. That’s not open for debate, it’s a fact.

    Essentially you’re applauding a fantasist who has built a house on sand. You keep clapping but keep a safe distance.

    So much for Hilton’s sustainable financial model!

    Are we losing £100k a month now?

    £1.2M (yearly loss) divide by 8 (directors) = £150K each per year.

    Hopefully they’ll have us pretty near to breaking even now?

    if that means walking away with all the season ticket money that’s a small price we can pay for him at least trying.

    Would that be illegal?

    Didn’t WHAM say that he wanted to leave a legacy for his children?
    He should have invested in a Satnav for his trip along the road to Damascus… he took the wrong turn at the first junction.

    Yes WG, he has to sit the game out.
    We do tread a thin line.
    Sell / move on the higher wage earners? … but, if we are promoted, then we don’t want to be left with just any Tom, Dick & Harrys.

    What price a clear conscience, to do the morally correct thing, to adhere to the law, to be a shinning example to the pilgrims attending the temple of light known as Glanford Park.

    It’s a pity the other 95% couldn’t be arsed to do their homework on his background – if they had, then like us, they’d have known he was a ‘wrong un’ much earlier and we’d have cleared him off a lot sooner.

    We now need Guinevere and her Knights of the Round Table to get us running on an even keel with creditors paid off, wages paid on time, any outstanding wages to former players/employees settled, pensions and NI payments updated and paid on time, redundancy payments made, CCJs fulfilled, HMRC paid etc.
    Only then will normality have been restored.
    I’d rather support a debt free and honourable but poor performing team in the NLN than a morally & financially bankrupt team in L1 or L2 bending & breaking the rules and the law.

    If we don’t gain promotion this season, then most of these players will move on and we’ll be watching glorified pub team players next season.

    So explain how Tamworth, a club who were in the Southern League last season have managed to assemble a table-topping squad?

    Glorified pub team league.

    ‘Servicing the debt’ is a meaningless concept until we know what the % is.
    4% would be awesome but 14% terrifying.

    Outstanding debt aside… it’d be interesting to know if we are breaking even yet?

    Not to mention how to finance the £3m ransom for the ground for the one that “stole” it.

    He still wants £3M?
    Why doesn’t he do the honourable thing and hand it back to the people of Scunthorpe… perhaps in the Trust’s name or something along those lines?
    He chased his dream… and it didn’t quite work out.

    It’ll be a dull game in poor conditions today.
    Tobias Todd Macormac seems to be running their club well.
    They sit 11th in the table and their away form is better than our away form.
    I think it’ll be a tight game.

    Transparency would be appreciated and respectful towards our long suffering supporters.
    What is our total debt?
    Are we currently breaking even on a bi-weekly basis?
    If not, how much extra debt is being accrued each fortnight?
