    My thoughts on the CEO’s statement. A lot of words to say nothing! I am still struggling to understand the value he is bringing to the club.

    While it’s possible the CEO has made contributions behind the scenes, from what I can observe, there isn’t much in the way of clear evidence to demonstrate substantial value added to the club. If he has had a significant impact, it would be good to see concrete examples of his achievements that justify the role and salary.

    With Scunthorpe United clearly feeling the strain financially, it raises the question of whether the club is truly benefiting from keeping a CEO on the payroll. Cutting the CEO position could be a significant step toward lowering the monthly wage costs.

    The FC100K debacle exposed the naivety and inexperience of the board.

    I think the Chester fans summed him up quite eloquently…their chant of “W@nker, w@nker, w@nker” echoed my thoughts exactly.

    Whilst I agree that we do need investment to become truly sustainable and progress up the football pyramid, the ‘My Football Club’ should be no where near any professional football club.

    No Whitehall = showing up to a gunfight with a banana.

    Or showing up to a football match with Beck…either way, you won’t be successful!

    I would imagine that the lure of a 44 week contract is not that attractive for most professional footballers and as a consequence, we will likely struggle to attract all but the most desperate of players (i.e. those who cannot get a contract elsewhere).

    It is also worth noting that I have software that can be used to recover deleted data such as photos and videos too. I can always scan his devices for anything the hacker may have deleted and, recover the images etc.

    He was hacked you say.

    Luckily for SM part of my day job has me working with the cyber security team for a multinational organisation. I am happy to run some forensic tools on his devices at no cost. I have software that can examine artifacts on computers to aid with the identification of the origin of the attack, discover what ‘data’ the threat actor accessed, remove any backdoors, and secure the device for the future.

    As he’s a Scunthorpe United supporter I will do it free of charge.

    Just posting a photo of a goal… @Beck – this is a goal, your job description requires you to put the ball between the posts and underneath the bar!

    Given the level we’re currently playing, I would suggest that Beck is without any shadow of a doubt, the worst player to don’ a Scunthorpe United shirt!

    I guess the whole sad affair shows that sometimes, the cheapest option is not always the best option. The pitch is in the worst condition I have ever seen and should never have been allowed to get into such a state.

    Does anyone know what happened to our club CEO? I was hoping that we’d be receiving some updates on his vision for the clubs short, mid and long-term plans during November and December.

    I honestly think that football is an unsustainable business for most. There are few clubs inside and even outside of the 92 that break even, never mind make a profit.

    It seems to me that most rely on loans from their respective owners to meet the day-to-day operational costs, and when the owener(s) walk away (like we experienced) the club is in deep sh*t.

    Maybe I was watching a different stream on DAZN. For me, the match lacked any real quality..it was rare to see either team put more than 3 passes together without losing it. On balance of play, I would say a draw would have been a fare result.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am grateful that we got the much needed 3 points, but if we truly believe that scraping a 1-0 win through a deflected shot against a lower mid-table National League North team is a good performance, then we have really fallen far!

    I find the whole furore around the Butler interview a little ‘over dramatic’. Sure, he was brusque, but what do we expect. He is undoubtedly under significant pressure, and at half-time was likely 45 minutes away from losing his job.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that he was correct to treat the interviewer with such disdain, just that too many are overreacting to a storm in a teacup.

    If we’re serious about promotion a scrappy draw at relegation strugglers Marine is no where near good enough.

    I have to wonder, does Butler actually know what he’s doing?
