I've been thinking about this one so bear with me.  We often hear of this 'benign' loan scenario from his Lordship, could it be in reference to the number of managers he's appointed?  Perhaps it was nothing to do with loans at all, maybe a coded reference to a future plan to really push the boat out?  Not sure on this but perhaps if Hurst was number 8, then using my theory, Adkins could benign!

His last job lasted a few months at Bournemouth. He was hopeless there.

Fine if you want another Neil Woods or Watkins scenario. Paul Groves is a coach, a very highly rated one, but he is not a manager. Look at his record in the hot seat and it shows. Not for me, thank you.

Have you had a head injury which has led to you forgetting his last spell here?

Let's not forget that Grovsie did actually steady the ship at the time he first came in. Around the time that he brought in Martin Pringle and Andy Todd. We survived relegation that season under his stewardship.

I often think that Grovsie was the right man, in the right place, but sadly at the WRONG time. He inherited a poisoned chalice at a time when the club were up Excrement Street without a paddle, at exactly the time when finances fell over because of the collapse of the ITV Digital deal.

He is widely regarded as a top coach along with the likes of Craig Shakespeare. Paul has worked in some big clubs alongside the likes of Eddie Howe,  Harry Redknapp, Tony Adams, Paul Hart and Avram Grant. His contacts in the game will be endless and he carries a lot of respect.

If by chance he was given the job at Grimsby, I wouldn't be panicking too unduly. I think he is as well placed to start getting some success as a manager as anybody else out there.

To be fair to Paul Groves he has had loads of coaching experience at a high level since leaving here and has worked alongside some good managers, perhaps some of that has rubbed off onto him and I feel that he will be more experienced now.
He won`t be coming anyhow but people do learn as they go along in life, much sooner him than Mills Wilcocks and company ( waits for the Man City jokes)

He almost certainly earns more as a top level coach than he would as a manager here, so unless he has a burning desire to take the responsibility of management for less dosh....
