So  they have that + 2 or 3 million for the stadium -- 4 or 5 million quid ballpark  in total . The wage bill must be pretty high , you suspect they will have to cut it substantially . Attendances are good but won't touch the sides of the mentioned above - can they make up a substantial shortfall through donations and investment ? Time will tell , but it would take some effort.

Up to 2,000 jobs at risk as British Steel plans to close blast furnace. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67332093 A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

Up to 2,000 jobs at risk as British Steel plans to close blast furnace. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67332093 According to the BBC TV News reporter Scunthorpe is now Sunderland and Blast Furnaces produce virgin Steel. As we all know, and reported in the written article, it all happening at Scunthorpe. Blast Furnaces produce liquid IRON which is transported to another furnace to be made into steel. It really shows the quality of the TV reporters the BBC now have after their reshuffle. You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I’m reliably informed an ex owner paid last months wage bill . It’s just far less public nowadays

Had a look at Iron Bru to get the verdict on the defeat and there is very little traffic on there - the match thread has two pages. Have their fans settled back into their previous torpor now the club has been “saved”? And what has happened to all the cult members?

Once we have a new manager and are surging up the table I might pay more attention to the Scunts, but I doubt things there will be as chaotic as we saw earlier in the year. Some level of normality seems to have returned to them, though I suspect the drama isn't entirely over yet. There is still the matter of the ownership of the ground and the unsustainable wage bill to resolve.
