Horrible website, on a par with the Sunderland Echo.
I suggested about 4 weeks ago to him that maybe sd hand might be forced to lower the price due to the pandemicI know mad bob doesn’t always get stuff right and he did say the loan had been paid off, but does anyone else think he might be hinting it’s FPP, he said the other day things have changed

His response was something along the lines that I didnt know what I was talking about .
However maybe it would be a perfect time to buy a club prices will be at an all time low clubs will be desperate to sell assets looking at it the mags really have fell on their feet

Whilst we have to give him a chance his track record appears to be that everywhere he's been the clubs concerned either end up relegated or in deep **** financially.Wasn’t this Rodwell chap CEO of Boston when they had points deducted?
Wasn’t he in this position when Notts County were relegated from league 1.
Boston
Notts County
Scunthorpe
Sunderland.
Thats is where we are at! Depressing stuff.

Didn't check up to be fair. Let''s hope he has more success here. The name doesn't help him muchAll of the clubs he's been were in deep shyte when he arrived
At Boston the chairman and manager, Steve Evans, were charged with the irregularities that lead to the points deduction ...
... Rodwell wasn't and has since been on panels at the EFL.
This is all just from memory so you'd have to check to make sure.
new CEO appointment, Jim Rodwell on safc
To be fair to mad bob he said this was going to happen
Aye, true mate.Seems highly regarded at Scunthorpe.
Fingers crossed, what else can you do?
Maybe clutching at straws but would it make a sale any easier for Donald having someone in that position to handle it on a day to day basis - as opposed to taking anymore of Donald's time? It felt like when Martin Bain was here a lot of his role was to hand the keys over to someone on Ellis Short's behalf.Didn't check up to be fair. Let''s hope he has more success here. The name doesn't help him much![]()
So .....looks like no takeover is imminent, he'd hardly walk into a new job if pespective owners could get rid straight away. Unless they've ok'd it??
Deep in Shyte when he arrived and doesn’t look like he has form for arresting the slide.All of the clubs he's been were in deep shyte when he arrived

Doesn’t bode well for us .
It's a strange one isn't it.
Why, when we're laying off staff and looking at losing at least 500k in the next two months, would we appoint someone we managed without when things were normal ...
... and does it mean Donald will be spending less time at the club.
I would think so.
Porterfield only scored one important goal -can i just say, regardless of this mans pedigree, anyone who uses his surname as a stick to beat him with, deserves a ****ing good slap for being so small-minded. and believe me, there will be some amongst our 'fans'
