Stefan Payne

Quoted from aldi_01

He was seeing a family members daughter for a while and was a complete tool. Some of the shite he came out with was hilarious.

I hate scunny as much as the next person but I wouldn’t wish Payne on them…

Oh please tell so i can detest him more

Quoted from Hagrid

Oh please tell so i can detest him more

He was just a tool. Said things like ‘I always fall out with everyone’ and ‘I never like the people I play with’ and then fed her the usual balderdash whilst never really giving a excrement.

Just an all round girl private.

No idea why Hurst signed The useless twit

No idea why Hurst signed The useless twit

He was the last person to get something out of him when he had him for a season at Shrews so it probably seemed like a good idea to work with him again. He just seems like he's lost all passion for the game and probably life at this point, went to Bristol after Shrews and had his contract cancelled because of attitude problems so maybe the signs were already there.

Because we couldn't score in a brothel around that time, our strike force consisted of the always injured James Hanson, the completely ineffectual Matt Green and the constantly derided Ira Jackson and Montel Gibson.

The signing of him and LJL seemed like great business at the time.  A target man in LJL to do the donkey work and a clinical poacher like Payne to feed off the scraps.  His debut goal against Stevenage definitely felt like a step in the right direction and he had what we had badly missed.

Of course, it all went spectacularly downhill after that.  Just checked his record and it's definitely poorer than I remember from a year ago, or maybe we were just that desperate!  

Scunny have scored the joint fewest goals in League Two, haven't scored in their last 3 and coupled with the worst defence in League Two are definitely in desperate mode.

Very naive of Hurst to sign him.

We signed a player who couldn't score in a brothel.

Scumthorpe could do with someone like McAtee! Oh I forgot they had him but he left to play for a football club.

Quoted from Kris2

Wasn't he seeing somebody from around here? Maybe wants to play for a team closer to where he's staying. Hope they don't expect him to turn their season around because he's the laziest sod you'll ever see on a football pitch, I've never seen a striker who wants the ball less.

Wasnt that what Scunny said about McAtee? And just look at him now.

There are many reasons why a player can perform for one team but not another. Tactics, style, or as Payne is alluded to have said ‘I always fall out with everyone’ and ‘I never like the people I play with’. Each to their own, but they only have to make one move that works in their favour and they can be a changed man. Hence how McAtee is with us.

There comes a point though when you have to ask if you're the problem. McAtee grafted for Hurst at Shrewsbury and Scunny initially (their fans say he was alright when Hurst was there) so you can say that something was obviously wrong after he left.

Look at Jolley, for all Fentys' faults Jolley has managed to fall out with every board in his 3 managerial jobs and the Barrow fallout was particularly quick.

It's the same with Payne, he's bouncing around from club to club moaning to anyone who will listen that he's unlucky and just ends up working with absolute tools.

Some people can start an argument with themselves in an empty room.
