Swann has caused the issues but SUFC can still play at GP next season ?

That was a post WG not a response to being asked a question

You are sharp. Attention to detail 👍

My fear – The GP purchase has fallen through, everything moves to Ilkeston and we play there until the new ground, that he’s bought the land for already, gets planning permission, funds and finally is built. In other words X number of years later. Maybe.
My hope – The dude is minted beyond all belief and wants to build an awesome legacy for his family in the town of Scunthorpe. He’s buying GP as planned, we stay there until a new stadium and training facility is built when he will then develop GP and get some of his money back.
In the meantime all the embargo and other rumours are quashed and a squad capable of winning NLN is being assembled ready for a fantastic season, where we actually win for a change.6 users thanked author for this post.
SUFCofficial and radio humberside sports are my usual visits. Had a fair bit of my own problems this week and haven’t trawled into it enough to realise that had happened. It seemed to go from questioning Hilton with a couple of Nom de Plumes claiming to know him and I when I next looked it was all about payday…
Crazy and scary times indeed.1 user thanked author for this post.
Why would you worry that a some “haters” (whatever/whoever they are) would decide him to chuck it all in ? I’ve not heard any dissent at the matches, people even travelled to Dorking when we were already dead and buried and weeds growing on the grave.
If a few people on Twitter questioning his background are enough to make him give up then being a football club owner probably isn’t for him. From what I’ve seen this week at least a couple of Scunthorpe supporting twitter accounts that got involved have deleted themselves so obviously Twitter isn’t for them.
Spurs fans were chanting for Levy to get out of their club at Liverpool this afternoon and they have a fantastic team, stadium, near the top of the Premier League. I doubt Levy could give a tin shit what they think or be bothered to read their moaning on social media.
Deans planning for next season – good ! So am I, looking up where the feck Curzon, Chorley and Banbury are.2 users thanked author for this post.
Haven’t bothered listening myself, but he has spoken.

Agreed.
Ref did Shrimpton a favour, he could have had 4 yellows. Wilson has just given up, ridiculous slide for his booking it looked like he was trying for a red card to miss Dorking but got it wrong and only got a yellow.1 user thanked author for this post.
Wasn’t going to go, but what else can a supporter do ?
I’ll stand there to show them I am actually bothered. Would be nice if whoever gets a shirt puts a shift in and maybe spoil Southends slim play off hopes…..1 user thanked author for this post.
No it isn’t good, which is why I hadn’t got involved with this thread until now, and why I personally keep off social media and only came on here recently.
Notts took us apart unfortunately, and it’s hard to take when you’ve watched us play league football for decades, and believe me we have been extremely poor in the past but I don’t recall any Iron team this bad.
I know people in Grimsby and with the genuine supporters there is a healthy local rivalry not the bile you get on here or Twitter.
I hope Mr Hilton succeeds, and Jimmy Dean comes good next season.1 user thanked author for this post.
Interested Bystander – The alarm bell is already ringing for me and with some others but it seems the majority are relieved the club seems to be saved and don’t want to look too deep and are happy to accept what he says. Time will tell.

And like for like with Nelson? your manager of choice,Please bare in mind Nelson had Laverey at his best,
Nelson had to manage against Notts, Chesterfield twice and Woking all at the top of the league. No Lavery against Halifax and Bromley. That team was almost immediately deemed not good enough by the new management and 50% of the players dropped or loaned out. Aside from 2 games, Wrexham and Notts away Deans team have played against similar dross teams to us and not got results.

Have a listen to that interview, he doesn’t have hardly any experience of NLN and not much of the leagues below. It’s a bigger leap than if Adkins had gone straight to a premier league side. Adkins had also had a career of being a league player, manager at Bangor, working alongside decent managers and coaches when he was physio and had coaching qualifications.

This isn’t actually Dean’s fault. Hilton gambled on appointing him and he had to take the opportunity. Apologies if this podcast has been linked before but it is an interview with Dean in August 2022. He comes across as an honest guy who is very realistic about football at non league level and managing to get a team the size of Peterborough Sports promoted to NLN.
By his own admission he was looking at survival being a success this season for Sports, and mid table being a good success. He admits that he didn’t know National League North level enough yet. Half a season later he’s Scunthorpe United manager in the league above that. I won’t criticise him any more, in my opinion he needed to finish the season at Peterborough and then move to a bigger NLN or NLS club and get some more experience. Far too many players have been changed too far into the season for any chance of being a team, you can see they don’t know enough about each other on the pitch. He’s been thrown into a situation and it isn’t working out and that is Hilton’s mistake not Deans.
Link to the podcast, sorry again if it’s old news I’m not trawling 3 months of Bru to check !https://shows.acast.com/62fcfc183e14f50012189fb1/episodes/62fcfc1c09158d0012010539

And yet 5 wins and we finish on 49 points which ought to be enough to stay up. I wish I hadn’t seen how we played against County, York and Torquay.
I hope Dean can pull off a miracle and prove me wrong!1 user thanked author for this post.
I’m glad that day to day football activity will not be at Ilkeston. I hope that some sort of academy will continue, it certainly sounds like Mr H is prepared to try and facilitate it. I still don’t fully get what is going on, it all seems to be on the hoof but hopefully the situation with Glanford Park will be resolved by the end of May.
