I would never want Scunnie to go bust as much as I detest the club. I just want them to find their true level and if that means dropping down to Cleethorpes Town or Grimsby Borough levels,then so be it.

All of this unravelling has been obvious to outsiders.


Hasn’t it just. This article is a couple of weeks short of its third birthday and pretty much all of the concerns either inferred or explicitly stated have come home to roost in the time since it was published.

Some of the figures, not least the sustained ratio of wage expenditure to turnover, are absolutely staggering. This was always coming, Covid merely helped accelerate things.

You only had to look at his time in charge of Gainsborough Trinity to see how it would and has ended up. He lost interest with Trinity as soon as the new stadium/housing project collapsed. And it's happened again at Scunthorpe. Predictable. They actual have an excellent manager with a great track record of success. If he's failing as spectacularly as he is that tells you everything about the state of the club at the moment.

That would mean a local derby, but not as we know it.

No manager in their right mind would take that job, surely. They're very much in the mud, sliding towards the NLN.
