Dig out all the pre season predictions thread. We are VERY over optimistic.

Any expectations of mine are purely short term. New manager, a few signings and battle relegation, hopefully successfully. Anything longer term is purely conjecture. New stadium? New training ground? More staff? Investment in the team? We don’t have a clue yet. Let’s sit back, enjoy these final few moments of this bitter chapter coming to an end and wait to see what the new guys have to say.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Steady chaps - the deal is not yet done. I await the future with optimism  - but a spanner could be thrown in the works before completion. Let's not get carried away  we could still be being led up the garden path?

I think we need to not expect too much too soon.

We’re in a relegation scrap with poor players. If we do go down then it won’t be the consortiums fault and we need to remember this if it does happen.

Long term expectations are for some actual investment in the club, and by this I mean in the training ground and facilities and bringing the ticketing and other systems into the present day.

I don’t expect us to become premier league but I’d like a steady rise. Ideally to the lower end of the championship, where we were when JF took over.

none whatsover.....

They havent provided the fans with any sense of direction, have used A4 pieces of paper, and we dont know if the consortium is equal in its share holdings. Shites might own the lot.

Irrelevant that they may have cash to splash, but transfer caps make that side of it redundant, the manager and coaching becomes far more important.

The club are are a key part in the bigger regeneration plans, so I dont expect  much in the day to day running.

Be nice to go into a match believing we have a chance of winning rather than worrying how many we will lose by !!!
