Overwhelmed by the messages of support received from Iron fans and the wider footballing family. Scunthorpe United are on the brink but days like today, where the fan base unites, provide a faint glimmer of hope that the club can be saved. It means a lot. Thank you.
So pleased for Michelle, her board, and the loyal staff, who have worked tirelessly and fought so hard for the future of the club in recent weeks. There's no doubt in my mind that we are in the safe hands of a board with the club's best interests at heart. A really special week.…
It shouldn’t have come to this, but so proud of what we have achieved in so little time. We may have had our differences, but today we are United. £36,000. Thank you ❤️
A huge £66,931 in donations has now been distributed between SUFC staff and players. A massive thank you to one-man media machine
@mgell1s
, the lads at
@IronHourPodcast
, our bucket collectors and everybody who donated for your amazing support 🩷

£55,000 + £2480 in the buckets at GP this afternoon. A huge thank you to everybody that has made this possible. We truly appreciate it.
We are meeting early next week to finalise a plan for distribution and will provide further updates in due course.
Hard to believe that just eight weeks ago I was at a downbeat and GP arranging the distribution of the crowdfunder. After a surreal couple of hours, I left in disbelief and fearing the worst. I genuinely thought it was all over for SUFC. Thankfully Michelle was determined to save…
We can confirm we have received an initial payment from GoFundMe, with further payments to follow. Donations are now being processed. We anticipate all staff will receive donations by Thursday. A huge thank you to staff for their patience.
We have joined forces with
@IronHourPodcast
to create a Gofundme page to support staff at SUFC. Today is payday. Staff have not been paid and the owner has stopped funding our club. We stand side by side with all staff at Scunthorpe United 🤝

For what it’s worth, I genuinely hope Nelson gets the gig full time. He’s done a good job, with his hands tied behind his back. Has earnt a crack at it without restrictions IMO.
Quick update. All paperwork has been signed and approved by the GoFundMe Trust & Safety team. We are now waiting for the funds to be transferred. As soon as they land, we will start processing donations for SUFC staff.
Big win. Bunn oozed class, Hippolyte excellent (again), Loft unplayable and Green’s best game in an Iron shirt. Keith Hill’s tricky Iron quietly heading in the right direction…

Gutted for
@mnelse6
. Done a great job in impossible circumstances. Carried himself really well throughout this shit show of a season and genuinely hope he’s kept on at the club in some capacity. So poor that he has found out on the radio.
Peter Swann tells Iron Bru a deal to sell
#SUFC
is “as close as it has ever been”. Understand two consortiums are still at the negotiating table. Deal not done. Very fluid situation. Swann says he hopes to conclude a deal soon as “the club needs investment”.
The one you've all been waiting for...👀
KEVIN VAN VEEN is set to join us for an in conversation special later this week. Fire over any questions for Kev asap!
What an absolute disgrace. We’ve plummeted to an all time low and we’re quickly sinking without a trace. Never been so embarrassed to support our club. Cox not the only problem, but he simply has to go at 5pm. Miles out of his depth with 95% of his players.
A big thank you to all fans who donated to the 50:50 sellers on Saturday. The staff are eternally grateful. A total of £1206 has been banked and donated into the GoFundMe this morning.
United we stand.
Not looking for any sympathy, but tested positive for COVID tonight. Had none of the ‘official’ symptoms but have been full of cold, sneezing & had a tickly nose. Eventually lost taste/smell. Please get tested if you feel like this, as it could save a loved one’s life this XMAS.
Outstanding display which deserved so much more. Hammill’s goal was the quality we required. McArdle and Burgess were fantastic. Wootton brilliant IMO. Sunderland a bang average side.
#UTI
Jimmy Dean is clearly one of the most exciting managers in non league. He’s a winner and highly thought of. In different circumstances it would probably be viewed as a very good appointment. Just hope the players buy into it.
Top drawer tonight, dismantling a decent side. Clunan, Law, Smith and Scales all excellent. Less reliance on Butterfield, who flourished in a free role. Thoroughly enjoyable
#UTI
Pleased to announce Peter Swann has agreed to sit down with us and record an in depth chat for a forthcoming podcast! More details will follow in due course.
Over 3,500 downloads of this week’s podcast episodes so far. We’ve also managed a rare foray into the Apple charts. Currently

in the UK Football category. Pretty nuts! Appreciate the continued support.
Excellent tonight. Really enjoyable. Eisa and McAtee a constant threat and deserve the plaudits, but thought Spence and Beestin were outstanding again. O’Malley solid too.
Big win. O’Malley, Manny & Beestin superb again and Howard deserves credit for some match winning saves. Cox got them looking fit, hungry & desperate to win. Heading in the right direction.

Joe Nuttall looks set to complete a move to National League rivals Oldham Athletic, subject to passing a medical at Boundary Park.

Cox. Ticks all the right boxes and saying all the right things. A genuine character with a real love for the club and the town. Enthusiastic and positive with vast experience in the game. Given time, it could be a masterstroke! A great fit. Welcome home

Lovely stuff. Hakeeb is a wizard, Ojo class and Townsend showed exactly what we’ve been missing down the left. GA got it spot on IMO. Enjoyed that
#UTI
You didn't think we'd bring you Keogh without Sharp did you? 😬 Get your questions in for a VERY SPECIAL ‘in conversation’ episode with Iron legend BILLY SHARP! 👀🔥
Not seen us dominate a half like that for years. Brilliant. Ntlhe and Eisa the pick of the bunch. Hard working, but real moments of quality too. Lund red the only blip.

Enjoyable evening at the FSA awards. Not to be for us on the night but delighted to have made the shortlist. Congratulations to
@HLTCO
and the other winners.
Time for a change. The dream team of Cox and Lillis promised so much, but have delivered so very little. Extenuating circumstances, perhaps, but they will go down as one of our worst ever management duos. It’s only October, but decisive action is required before it’s too late.
Almost a year after we promised it, ex Iron midfielder Neal Bishop is set to join us for a podcast special to discuss his time at the Iron! If you have any questions for
@NealBish
, please send them across ASAP.
The odds are stacked against us but, somehow, there is still a glimmer of hope. Ninety minutes to do our bit. To want it more than Plymouth. To fight for every ball and to restore some pride in the shirt. It’s not a day for the faint of heart...
#UTI
Deserved that last night. Another battling performance under difficult circumstances. Players giving their all. Tom Pugh outstanding. Cox deserves reinforcements.
EXCLUSIVE: Dawson set for Celtic move
Iron Bru understand Scottish giants Celtic have won the race for out of contract Scunthorpe United youngster Joey Dawson.
