*IF* Brown Goes - Then Who?

[Beefy]

Us then Lincoln I assume he means...

Harsh to include the Lincoln one in view of him not being there all season. Fair point though.

I wouldn't blame him for the league one relegation. His hands were tied and the players disillusioned with not being paid and the club was in crisis. I guess I am deluded though as I think he has to take some of the blame for relegation from the championship especially as the other promoted teams, Colchester and Barnsley stayed up with similar budgets to ours.

As for Lincoln, when they beat us 2-1 in March there were no relegation worries whatsoever. If I remember correctly their wasn't much difference between us in terms of points and they were like us, comfortably in mid-table. Tilson then inspired them to 10 defeats and two draws in their last 12 games and got them relegated from nowhere. Ask any Lincoln fan what they think of Tilson and whos to blame

How did Col U do the next season?

As for Lincoln, the only reason they were midtable at that point was because he pulled them out of the relegation zone.

I've no idea who is right or wrong (don't really care tbh) but you appear to be saying that Tilson was responsible for pulling them out of the relegation zone, but not responsible for them dropping back into it again? How does that work?

And you seem to have forgotten the two successive promotions.

And it wasn't successive relegations anyway. We made the League One playoffs in our first season back in League One after relegation. Anyone remember James Walker's miss away at Donny before they spanked us?

Brown is not leaving so this thread is a bit pointless really

The supporters of Scunthorpe are not surprised at the sacking of Willcox. The brand of football this season has been poor and there appears to be a lack of confidence among the players. There does not seem to be much sympathy for him at the moment. It does prove how short our memories can be

But that was, IIRC, the last game they won that season.

You're in denial. He's the favourite for the hot seat!
