Quoted from HerveJosse


Hilton isn’t new to football he owned another non
league team for 4 years where he was reasonably thought of. Invested in 3g pitches and infrastructure and got promoted.
He may turn out to be a charlatan and certainly has a history but appears to be someone who gets things done .
The vitriol on here seems to be driven by glee at our neighbours demise rather then any objective analysis


You could argue at such a small club as  llkeston nothing of his past was questioned and he had his crew close to hand for support . Bury turned him away and I would think it likely other clubs of decent standing before it ever even got close to being public,after due diligence .

I don't think there is that much vitriol Herve ,I think most are just astounded both with what's happening and their fans apathy for any sort of clarity over the situation .

The objective analysis is that he's lied , contradicted himself and made U turns in probably double digit figures from the start of his takeover of them , that's not rumour ,just plain facts and that's putting any alleged past misdemeanors asside .

They are finished even if only a small portion on what is on here is true.

I feel sorry for their fans who are hoping Hilton or whatever is name is comes good.

I don't think that will happen and I will miss out local derbies against them .

Let's hope some genuine person comes in and they start again rising the ranks and once again play us in the league.

At 75  I don't think I will live long enough to witness it though.

I’m not sure people in their sixties will either!

Here’s an incredible fact for you. Since the beginning of the 2010/11 season, Scunthorpe have dropped 5 divisions whilst Luton have risen 5 - a swing of 10 divisions in Luton’s favour.

What’s more incredible though is that during that time, Luton have only been in a league above Scunthorpe for 4 seasons out of a total of 13, during several of which Scunthorpe were grossly overspending to little avail.

As a result, Scunthorpe have in fact spent more in wages in reaching the National League North (from the Championship) than Luton have in reaching the Premier League (from the National League).

I find that absolutely staggering.

Have you found Golly's "Book of Football Facts & Stats"  ?

Runaway also said that about us under Fenty !!!!!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Massive rumour that Hilton has been copulated off, the deal was club and ground, he’s reneged on the ground element although Swann is hardly playing ball so the mess that is SUFC continues…

Another rumour is that you have to notify the league where you’ll be playing by 31st March, they’ve said Glanford Park but as we know, that’s looking increasingly unlikely…
