I’d be interested to hear what Ollie has to say about it. Maybe not the best timing, but if it frees up money for an extra/better player, and the assistant function can still be fulfilled by Davies, Mooro and Greg Howard, then fair enough IMHO.


Up The Mariners!

Cost cutting?

I get that it's a strange situation with covid etc and I accept we'd have a reduced playing budget because of it.

But what was all that talk from the chairman about is being able to run the club for a year without any income if needed. We go from that, to losing an assistant manager on the eve of the first game due to apparent cost-cutting. Although you get the feeling that, as always, we probably won't find out the total truth of what happened.

As has been pointed out elsewhere I think, it also take me back to Fenty's insistence that Shutes or any interested parties have to prove they could fund the club in an unprecedented situation like this, when it's more apparent now that the current board can't really do that themselves. Nor do they invest any money at all anyway. Not that I'm particularly criticising that, but how can they make these demands or criteria of any new board taking over, when it's not something they do themselves.

Was looking forward to watching the game this afternoon but just feel a bit fed up now. Yes I'll still watch it but fed up of the amateurish drama that seems to always surround GTFC.

So if they where culled who would replace them?

They said they'd take the necessary action to ensure the club survives, not that the club has enough cash to last a year without income.

The timing is odd, but we don't know the facts. Probably best to hear Ollie's interview this afternoon before jumping to conclusions

Just a thought on the timing. When did AL join the club? He was on a 6 mth rolling contract so perhaps the more boring reality is that it just happens to be when his contract expires.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

No - a 6 month rolling contract means he always has 6 months left on it!

I always thought a 6 month rolling contract meant every time you wake up you are still have 6 months left so the contact never expires, could be wrong though.

Not if they served him due notice in March, unlikely but possible. I know RR posed this question but has Limbrick been involved In our pre-season?

Notice period can be less than the term of the contract.  It will be written into the contract how much notice either party has to give. Can be a different period one way vs the other
