The chairman Peter Swann should have simply replied, "I put millions into the club, its my club and therefore I make the decisions..." When Jeff Stelling puts the same amount into Scunthorpe as Peter and when he owns the club then he can decide how long a manager gets. The chairman pays the bills, keeps the club going and has invested a lot, so I think he's entitled to sack whoever he wants. Just my opinion.
***** Sponsorship at that level and for a club of Scunthorpe's size nowhere near pays the bills. If that was the case then the chairman wouldn't need to invest millions every year just to loose money continually at the end of every season. Which nearly every club does at that level.
PURE162 To be fair, it was the fans' decision. 85% polled wanted Russ to go. Stelling is part of the modern football shit. It wasn't just based on 2 months either. Scunthorpe should have walked the title last year, Russ played negatively and despite the chairman's backing, threw the title away. World record or no world record, people never forgave him for missing out on the title and playing such bad football in the process.
Jeff Stelling is paid to write opinion pieces and he gave his opinion. The Scunthorpe chairman should know this and makes himself look an idiot by challenging Jeff for giving his views.
Y Griffiny Scunthorpe should not have walked the title; Chesterfield were and are a much better side, though I will agree with you that Russ played very negative tactics.
modern football, it's a horrible fucking thing. Plays perfectly on the love and spirit a football club brings to a small town, and tears it apart. That word "business" should never be used in the same sentence as football. We are fans, not customers.
@@steveluckhurst2350 That 'gobshite' as you so eloquently put it, is paid to give his opinion and I guarantee he knows more about the ins and outs of football than you. You started with Jeff who? not everyone has sky! - It appears you did know didn't you?
when you're an owner of the football club, you have to take criticism and adulation in the same way. Journalists will be there when the club does well, and they will also be there when you do badly.
To be honest i think the chariman came across very professional! sometimes a sacking is the way to move the club forward espically in the lower leagues!
So all in all this new manager mark needs to get the team promoted and not lose any games in the higher tier, I think as much as it is not his business Jeff has a huge point that no manager can "manage" a team nowadays without living in fear of the sack, even after an incredible rate of success
No, Mark Robins' job is to keep us in League 1.....under Wilcox, there's no way that would have happened. The football we've been playing has been embarassing, really dreadful stuff and the squad we have shouldn't be second bottom, even though we do have a few injuries. There's been heavy investment over the last year or so and we should be doing better. I'm sure people will say "he went 28 games unbeaten last year", yes he did, but 14 of those were draws, we threw away 34 points from winning positions last season and 17 of those points were after the 86th minute. It's very frustrating when you're watching a game and you know it's inevitable that you're going to concede in the last few minutes. Jeff doesn't know what he's talking about, as he stated in the article he wrote, why highlight us if that's the case? Why not go after a Premier League or Championship club?
it wasnt harsh, the team were abysmal. that "undefeated record" was made up of so many dropped points and draws where we should have won......28 games unbeaten, but 14 of those were draws, we threw away 34 points from winning positions and 17 of those points were after the 86th minute. the football was shocking, the squad were capable of far more. it may have seemed like a great season on paper, including getting promotion. but the standard of football compared to the squad was horrendous.
It is far and away past time that someone in football challenge the media like this..... this needs to be a weekly, if not daily, event across all sports. The details that the media doesn't know, and will never know, could fill libraries.
Well mr swann you've really turned the fortunes of scunthorpe United around in April twenty twenty two, national league bound and probably out of business altogether. Well and truly in the swanny. 😄🤪🤣😂😃🙂🤤😁🙄👍😎👍🖐🖐
I like how a lot of none Scunthorpe fans care enough to comment and say shit about Peter's decision at the time. It was the correct one we were bloody lucky to go up from L2 even though we were unbeaten for 28 games. A big majority of them were draws after taking the lead. The tactics were utter terrible and it continued at the start of that season. YOU didn't have to watch the utter terrible style of football like how us Scunny fans did.Appointing Mark Robins at this time was correct to stay up in L1 he is that sort of manager who can drag clubs out of trouble. He sadly wasn't going to be able to make the push for the next level as the 5-0 hammering at Oyston FC showed. The end to this season was remarkable missed out on the playoffs on GD and at the end of the day the club's ambition is to try and get back to The Championship and what's wrong with a bit of ambition hey? The future is looking good and we have now got a decent squad in place and belief that we can push again for the coming season. UTI
jeff stelling was spot on sacking a manager who got them promoted with ease last season no respect shown sacking someone after years of service after just 11 games !
I dont think Stelling would ever say this about the way Roman Ambramovich has sacked managers..........Because He'd probably end up being found murdered 😅
“Paid to give opinions” is such a cop out from Jeff There’s a million opinions you can give but YOU choose what opinions you give and the language you use...
I think he means that they, as in the pundits on that show, are paid to give their opinions. So each are paid to give their own personal opinion. One. The one that they feel about the subject at that time. So might I suggest that Jeff's opinion at the time was that it was shameful and disrespectful that this chairman sacked his manager. Regardless of whether you, me or that chairman agrees, Jeff Stelling isn't wrong that he's paid to have his opinion and express it.
erosion271 Very few Scunny fans were calling for him out, apart from one game where I believe you left Madden on the bench and put a centre half up front. Simple fact is all managers need time, and especially if that manager had over 40% win percentage the season before, then they deserve a bit of loyalty. And just because I'm not a Scunny fan doesn't mean I can't have my opinions on what happened.
erosion271 doesn't take away the fact that he was not given any time this season. And fans' pressure on social media shouldn't affect the decision of a chairman
@@skthejanner every fan i ever spoke to wanted him out way before he was sacked. even that promotion season was horrific, we drew 14 of that unbeaten run and threw away 34 points from winning positions. 17 of those points we threw away after 86 minutes. an absolute shite manager blessed with a great squad, and he almost ruined it. he seemed to try his best to ruin the team. had won 4 of the last 20 if i remember right before he was sacked
Jeff had the measure of Peter Swann even then. Yeah they had two decent seasons after, but it was clear Swann was a terrible owner prone to doing stuff on a whim. Well, look where they are now!
At the end of the day,Peter Swann has invested alot of his own money into our club. You will not find one supporter speaking out against him as he has been a breath of fresh air since taking over. We have been used to having a chairman who hardly invested his own money into the club other than to give loans at a slightly lower interest rate than an overdraft would cost. We have sold players over the last few years for big money with none or very little of it being re-invested back into the playing side. Yes we went unbeaten last season for 28 games but on the back of that came a more defensive style of play that was so boring to watch. The chairman is a supporter. He, like us, wants to see exciting attacking football that will contribute to bringing the stay away fans back. Promotion last year was the most underwhelming achievement due to the way we played. We should have sewn it up by the end of march with the team we had but with a negative tactician as a manager that was never going to happen. Good luck Mark Robins. In Peter we trust. Up The Iron
I like Jeff. But he overstepped the mark here. Peter Swann made a harsh decision, and Stelling jumped to conclusions in a public piece without all the facts. In the process, he's made the chairman look like a fickle moron, when he probably made the right decision by sacking Wilcox.
@Adam M How about the fact Eight Managers in Six years, is that a record, suggests to me the problem is more upstairs in the boardroom, a Chairman playing fantasy football ⚽
"You can't just keep a manager for 12 months if you're losing all your games" "It's a long term project and we want to move into the new stadium with this manager" um
I normally like Jeff but I completely disagree with him, the chairman was talking lots of sense, seems like a nice bloke. (Completely unbiased view even though I am a Gillingham fan)
What was Stelling's reaction after his club that he supports (Hartlepool) sacked a manager after a month as they were beaten by a non league side in The FA Cup? I don't think I ever saw a blog on that one wonder why? lol. As it happens Jeff and Peter have just recently walked together on the Doncaster-Scunthorpe leg of Jeff's walk for prostate cancer, so Peter is so nasty isn't he? Giver over yourselves....
Definitely a shameful decision imo. Russ Wilcox quite frankly deserved the chance even if Scunny had been relegated already since he got them promotion. That's what I think at least.
The unbeaten run was a distraction from the real situation. We were going 1-0, 2-0, even 3-0 up in games, and throwing nearly every single one away in the second half. We drew the MAJORITY of the 28 unbeaten games, and have actually only won 4 in our last 20 prior to the Gillingham match earlier today. Russ' tactics were negative, we'd sit deep and inviter pressure, every single time. He didn't learn from these mistakes, and it carried on into this season. Crowds were dropping by nearly 50% as Swann stated in the interview, and fans were being driven away in droves by the negative football on display.
To be fair to Peter it is his decision to sack russ so I don't think Jeff (who doesn't know a thing about scunthorpe) has the right to judge him for that
@@jacobburston1657 but he knew nothing about the situation. if theres jobs going that'll pay me to give an opinion on something i know absolutely nothing about, sign me up!

His money, he keeping our club alive, we believe in him, and l think in his and our manager , l still believe we could make the play-offs.

If anyones wondering, Scunthorpe were bottom when this interview took place but ended up finishing mid table. It was the right decision
As Jeff pointed out, the run of games they had up to this point were against top half sides, it's likely they were going to pick up points anyway.
The end of that interview He sounded like, it's my toy and I'll do as I like
This is made more awesome by the fact that as of 2020 the Scunthorpe manager is none other than... Russ Wilcox
