A quote from the new guy
“The only aim for me is to help the club win the league"

That's a very bold statement. It won't be easy that's for sure! And even then IF they did what next? NL is an absolute nightmare to get out of and all the money in the world could still see you not win the league for some time

To be fair, he’s not gonna come out and say ‘I’ve joined the club because I like chaos, I thrive on not knowing if the club can honour my contract or the raffle related to where we’re gonna be playing…’

Noone is rattled, I actually think a lot of town fans are concerned. It's like a family member you don't like  ...... It's ok to hate you but if anyone tries to fcuk you over we get a bit protective. The people of Grimsby are good people ( I don't live there )  they have big massive Hearts .  Scunthorpe Fans need to except their fate , what ever that may be because a lot of good people have tried , in their own way , to help .

Good Luck

Quoted from BIron
I love how we’re still managing to absolutely rattle some of you lot despite how far we have fallen. The rivalry is still alive and I’m all here for it.

Jury remains on Hilton, personally I’m on the ride and praying it ends with us back in the football league in years to come. A lot of nonsense rumours going around by  faceless men on social media and have quickly gone into hiding.

Excited for next season, be going to some places I never thought I would see Scunny in but should hopefully see us win a lot more games than what we are used too and with a pint in my hand too.

It's understandable that after one terrible owner in Swann, with Hilton promising the world fans will naturally buy into the notion that everything will be brilliant.

We're not rattled by anything down the road, as others have said previously, we're actually concerned for you. We love seeing our rivals have a little downturn and we'll bask in it given how the same when the roles were reversed. But ultimately, although it's a little funny what's happening, to lose a rivalry doesn't do anyone any favours. Also, as general football fans, we actually wouldn't want to see the good fans of SUFC lose their club, in the same way as Bury, Macclesfield etc.

We have the benefit of looking at things a little more objectively as we're not emotionally attached and when you lay everything out on the ground, there's a lot there to cause concern and lot's of things that don't add up. Please don't let us take away your optimism but I think our suggestion would be to have a little look more deeply and consider the need for some back-up expectations if all doesn't go well...

To paraphrase:

Promoted back to the league, a very safe 11th in our first season back, an historic run to the FA Cup quarter finals - where did it all go wrong?

I bet you'd swap our 'rattled' for your situation in a heartbeat.

I still think WHEN it all goes pear , Hilton's  go to response will be to blame Bury , Cods ; all and sundry for their demise  .

It will be an entirely predictable circle of blame , I'm hoping they don't lap it up down the road  .

That is absolutely idiotic. I’m mean, come on - admitting to being friends with a Scunny fan!

Have a long, hard look at yourself in the mirror before posting on here again.
