Quote from: Mallard on October 24, 2025, 06:55:15 PMHow can the Trust hand over a single penny until the shares are transferred and SC is no longer seen to be involved ?

Absolutely agree.

The Trust has been quite clear that it's shares for money, and I believe that Cleeve being out was also part of the deal.

And having a millionaire didn't do Sheffield Wednesday much good. Another one bites the dust 😔

Quote from: Mallard on October 19, 2025, 04:47:24 PMIf Cleeve is still actively involved, as you suggest Upstone then where does that leave the Trust ?  Think they have said on numerous occasions that they won't be involved at the Club while SC is still there. 

Is someone trying to bang both ends against the middle ?

From what I understand, he has absolutely nothing to do with any of the club's functions ⛔

Just this crazy idea for a TV show about the club, that he's had some discussions with a company about 😯

But with the Eastbourne series about to start, I think it's highly likely that the market will soon become saturated 🙁

And of course these shows all have someone "famous" involved, not someone like Cleeve whose fame exists only in his own head.

It's just another desperate attempt to stay relevant...
 

From what i understand he's in this with Bal and it was the reason Jo came on board in the first place.Its taken a lot longre to come together than first thought and its not cleeve doing it by himself.Crazy or not its worth keeping an eye on.You may want to ask yourself where Cleeve is now flying off to.
I think we all think that if Cleeve could regain control of the Club he would and this is his attempt to do it and by the looks of it Bal is onside with it

Now that I didn't know, but to me that's even more weird. Surely if Jo has all this money, he could get a TV series made himself 🤔

He could buy a production team to make it 😃

Hell, he could even buy a TV company to make it for him😂

And I can't even get my head around Cleeve being in charge again.

The more I think about it, the more I think you're a windup merchant. Sorry mate, I don't believe you.

Quote from: Blue_and_Gold on October 19, 2025, 01:42:52 PMWasn't this one of Cleeves plans from years ago? I seem to remember it being mentioned in the early days. 

Maybe he could use his position at the Club to organise this and reduce the Legacy debt.

If fact, if he earned that much from it he could afford to repay Jo and retain ownership of the Club.

 

I understood that Cleve's been trying to do exactly that and it's the reason he's still hanging around...to help the club 🙄 ...or is it to help his wallet ?

But if I were Bal/Jo I'd give him a P45 and sling his ar*e down the road.

Where is your dignity man ? Just sign whatever you need to sign, let the club issue a statement to say you're officially out and then you can sit in the posh seats as just another punter. If you must.

No drake🦆. But he's certainly been about a bit and never seems to settle anywhere for long.

Sounds a bit like a certain manager who stays for a while, breaks his contracts, nicks a few players and does a runner 🤑💰💰

But I might be doing Sheridan a disservice 😏

I'm in the glass half full side after watching the match. I agree with some of the previous posts.

I'm told we started 4-4-2 which is not how we "usually"  play, so I'm wondering if that's why some of the players seemed a bit lost. And why a few stayed lost.

During training Joe can only learn so much. Until he has an opposition to play against, some of it will be trial and error.

In addition he had to find a way to integrate two new loanees, whilst missing two other players.

What he doesn't need is the sword of Damacles hanging over his head "week-to-week"🗡�☹️⚔️

I wasn't impressed with Kamara either. I didn't even realise he was on the pitch 🫣 and my opinion on Omatayo is well known. He needed a rocket up his 🚀

We were totally outclassed by Fylde's one touch skills and I thought we were going to be absolutely splattered 😒

Both goals came from errors and the keeper did his best, but had been let down by his own team mates. The first one was an absolute embarrassment.

When the changes were made it became a whole new game for us. Mazza got stuck in straight away and has earned at least a 30 minute shift for the next match.

But we can't expect him or Clunan to be the same as they were before. What they can do, is bring maturity and knowledge and create a new role for themselves.

Overall we didn't have a particularly impressive day.

But to the people who booed at half time and full time... Don't you think the players know when they're not doing well ? Exactly how do you think booing will help ? Not impressed 🤐 Shame on you 😕

Someone will now tell me that they've paid their money and are entitled to voice their opinion. So am I.

Quote from: Quinn Upstone on October 16, 2025, 08:05:15 PMI might be being more dense than usual (always quite possible 😶�🌫�) but I understood that two previous managers have been interviewed for the manager's job recently. One being Culverhouse and the other Setchell.

Are we to assume that neither fit the bill/didn't like the terms ? Or were the rumours flying around the stand at the last home match just that...rumours with no basis in fact 🤔 That's one for the "I know more than you know" gang.

Hello. Is anybody out there in forum-land ?

Hasn't anyone got any comments about Culverhouse or Setchell ?

Doesn't anyone know anything about them being interviewed ?

At least if I've dreamt it all, I'd like to know, so I can tell my shrink next time I imagine an appointment with him 😁

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they haven't got it in for me 😭

It's just like one of my favourite songs... The Sound of Silence 🤐

And poor Joe really doesn't need things to be reviewed  as often as a "week-to-week" basis. That's like having a gun held to his head. Don't lose or you're out 🚪 🤕

I'm sure others on here can give endless lists of managers who didn't initially do well at a club, only to turn out to be the best thing since seven seed granary sliced loaf with added vitamins and nutrients 😋

Welcome Joe and don't let the b..tards grind you down 🤗

Have we indeed still got said table?    

I think Cleve's still hiding under it 😉

Quote from: m a hill on October 12, 2025, 02:08:40 PMAfter letting a 2 goal lead slip we must have a serious look at our defence .I thought we had this game in the bag at half time but alas it wasn't meant to be

If you weren't there, I don't think you should be throwing such ill-informed statements about. And if you were there, with all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about.

We were all over them for most of the first half. Close man marking seemed to frustrated the Scunthorpe players.

But after half time they had a change of tactics and we ended up getting splattered. Of course we had some luck in the first half as well. We still got stuck in, our luck ran out, but not for the want of trying.

I am very proud of our team and playing staff who all battled until the final minute. Despite the disappointing result the players all came over to us, stood in a line across the pitch, and as we applauded them, they applauded us. It was actually quite an emotional few minutes, to be honest.

In the end it was not our day. And the fact that we put two goals past them, when you look at the gulf between the two teams, I'm proud of what we did achieve -against all the odds.

Quote from: Quinn Upstone on October 08, 2025, 10:19:29 PMWhy do we have to know everything that goes on at the club day-to-day ? The relationship is simple.

I don't think anybody has said that supporters need to know "everything".

"We pay, they provide" is not adequate for most in this day and age. Everything is about communication these days, be it football or other matters.

Also, in this day and age, Supporters expect more than just a few post on a Clubs website. As long as its conducted correctly, the Club need to also engage with Supporters on Social Media (not just post....engage). Social Media is not going to go away.............it will only develop further.

You're talking to the person who had Facebook and Twitter accounts providing club news and updates before the club even had any social media accounts.

Once they realised, as you say, that social media wasn't going away, the club crawled out of the primordial slime and, albeit initially inadequate,  started to use social media. At that stage I closed my accounts and left it to them.

Since then, I'm afraid it's been a fluctuating service, but perhaps the club is prioritising the list of jobs that need attention. Rightly or wrongly.

Quote from: Veratis on October 08, 2025, 05:11:53 PMMal you may see it as a curt message from the Club regarding Rowes departure other people see it like this. Quoted from Gavin Caneys recent article in the free local paper " Internal and external investigations need to take place and great care has to be taken not to prejudice any proceedings that may follow as a result. Words have to be used very sensibly and with strict laws around reporting and defamation is it any wonder considerable care is being taken by the Linnets ?
The difficulty is that the court of public opinion turns quicker than it used to. A lack of comment or denouncing is now seen as cordoning. It isnt that simple "

Makes you stop and think about making anything public until all the legal implications are checked and not saying something just for the sake of it.

Excellent post, straightforward and to the point.

In this hi tech era, it's easy to want everything within seconds, but the law and the process of gathering evidence just doesn't work like Amazon Prime (other online shops are also available 🛒🛍�)

Why do we have to know everything that goes on at the club day-to-day ? The relationship is simple. We pay and they provide... hopefully.

AMS Stand for away supporters.

https://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/news/2025/october/emirates-fa-cup-tickets-for-encounter-with-kings-lynn-town-now-on-general-sale/

http://www.sufctickets.com/

I've recently been in contact with their club and having also browsed the information on their website, I noticed in the away fans guidance that we are expected to buy a ticket before we arrive at the ground.

It also says that there might be the possibility to purchase on the day, so that's left me confused.

It could just be for their own league matches.

Nevertheless, I would encourage people to buy tickets prior to arrival, just in case. No one wants to turn up on the day and be refused entry.

I've also been told that supporters who are receiving Personal Independence Payment (PIP) can bring a carer in free of charge. Presumably with proof.

I've just been trying to book a match ticket in the AMS section and the whole section is unavailable.

I'm not great with tech. Has anyone had any better luck ?

Bizarrely I could book one elsewhere in the ground. Most frustrating 😡
