    Looks like they go off on tangents as bad as on here. I remember someone on C & B used to blag on about how well Scunthorpe were run all the time, didn’t age well…

    Unanimous?

    If you rate him then say that you rate him and explain the reasons why. That's fair enough. I also think he'll be an astute signing but express some opinions rather than trying to present data that doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

    I don’t think it was a case of they were run so well, more of a case they were bankrolled by Wilkinson’s.

    I agree, not the impression from the poster on C & B though. Trouble is for clubs that size if they don’t capitalise on the bankrolling eventually the well dries up.

    Aka Huddersfield Town….. I used to shout the loudest that their Chairman, Dean Hoyle family would eventually put a stop to it aka spaffing their inheritance up the wall!

    I was bang on the money and now look at them

    I probably am being over simplistic but the pattern fits.

    To be fair, we've given awards to Joe Colbeck and Luke O'Brien.

    I imagine Oldham Athletic and Exeter City are still wondering where these 'good' players are, before they made their swift descent to non league football.

    I imagine they're still spending an absolute fortune, to be fair.

    Top bet for relegation this year are the dog botherers

    Was it Shartle or something like that? Used to claim they were an ex scout or knew a scout or something?

    I actually said pretty Unanimous that he was liked and I think that’s true however I will change the wording just for you well liked by the majority

    Exactly Wilsden and top posts on this topic by Kevin.
    Spot on about Scunny, new assistant Manager is TMac! From Darlo youth coach to Scunny assistant. Hope he does well but shows where they are. The well appears to have dried up. Another Swindon?

    I think Swindon will depend if they can get rid of Power finally, also if they get Flynn I think he’d steady the ship. But I’m not privy to if that’s realistic or not.

    Flynn is a good manager but he's no fool, which you would have to be to go to Swindon.

    My point still remains - let's see an opinion out of you!!

    Why does Park think he'll be a good signing!

    No need to hide behind what 6 posters out of a 21 post thread on a Scunthorpe fans forum think! Where is he going to play? How will he impact the game?

    Move away from the "read their forum, they think he's great" and let's hear what you think!
