Some reyt dense nobheads are on that show. The same callers every time i listen...what the fook else do these people do with their time? Then there's that dimwit presenter with his awful West Yorkshire accent. Dreadful show...should be binned.

Stopped listening a log time ago to the whinge and grumble along with most Donny fans, just air time for dumb Dee Dah's and the Wendeh manager.

Its bloody awful regardless of who you support, just get extreme views one way or the other. Even P or G has gone downhill. So many ring up 'its a praise Rob...'. 'did you go today?'. 'no, just listened on the radio but we played well'. 'ok thanks, bye'.

Dont listen to RS anymore

That's shit from Scunthorpe, they're mid-table ffs.

Which is under-achieving, given how much money they spent in the summer. It is too soon but it's not that bad a decision. Early enough to maybe turn things round and make a play-off push.

Mark Cooper was supposedly in the directors box on Saturday and is very good friends with our CEO, it's looking quite likely that he will be our new manager.

Chairman Swann needs to bring in someone who has some experience of getting teams promoted or has not managed in English league football. Having these average managers on and off the managerial roundabout is too predictable.

I was very happy with Robins signing because he was exactly what we needed to stay in L1. At the time though, I was disappointed he got a 3 year contract. I suppose the Chairman had to offer Robins something in order for him to come. However, 1 year was enough, because many Iron fans, myself included, didn't see us getting promoted under Robins. The Chairman gave him a chance this season and wrongly thought he could do the job. Robins did do the job last season by keeping us up, but he should have gone last summer.

I predicted a midtable finish at the start of the season. We kicked off with a L1 average squad, nothing more. We have signed Wallace, a Championship standard player, but we are going to need many more of them to make any difference. I am most definitely not one of the many Iron fans who think the players are underachieving. I don't think we are good enough to challenge for the playoffs, nor bad enough to go down. Strange things can change though with a new manager.

Jose M is free now he has left Chelsea. Now that would be a real test to see how special he is by coming down to L1 .

All together now . . . .

Nick Daws confirmed as Manager till the end of the season, assisted by Andy Dawson. i'd prefer it if it was the other way round.

Hopefully a lot better than the last Ex-Bury man we had in charge. which won't be hard, at all.

Nick Daws - Bury Legend one of the first players I ever saw live.

Hope he does well.

Nice enough hard working guy Alexander but struggled with the media side at Fleetwood and ultimately his relentless defensive approach wore everyone at the club down.

We gave him his first chance in management so anything he did wrong here should be in his thoughts now, second shot at Scunthorpe where he at least has a connection and that can mean a lot.

Graham Alexander currently 20/1 lump on

Should have put a bet on myself. My mate won £100 :)

Good luck Graham, certain he will do well for Scunthorpe

My response to This is "meh"... Depends what our expectations are. Robins spent big, talked big and failed.

Will he keep on the ex-Preston group(who havent done much apart from get injured)or bin them, who knows.
