Stop - Think

Quoted from Simon

Love him or hate him the one thing about John Fenty he wasn't afraid of a bit of graft and would quite often get stuck in to jobs that needed doing in and around BP, will the new consortium be climbing the floodlights changing bulbs i very much doubt it

Let's hope the new owners bring success on the pitch because in all fairness thats all that's all thats been missing, if we had risen up the leagues would there have been the bitterness from both sides towards each other, i doubt it football is funny like that

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

Simon!!!!!

Unless this is a clever wind up, you are not being serious are you?

The trouble is, being a "mans man" climbing the floodlight pylons is not normally a recipe for "rising up the leagues."

It is great though, if you want to save every available penny and make the club look a laughing stock.

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

To those of you on the Paul Hurst thread that are already moaning that Hurst is coming back. Please stop and think for a moment, what the hell are you doing.

Stop and think about the board mandate for consortium to agree a deal that gives John what he’s asked for, to agree terms, and then for them to participate in the urgent and timely appointment of a new manager.

If this is quite clearly what has happened, then approximately 30% of you are already taking issue with and moaning about the decision of the consortium in respect of their manager, even before the ink is set on the share sale agreement. Incidentally, the choice of managers being the singlemost criticism fans have had of John Fenty over the years. The primary key in unlocking success or failure during his tenure. Please stop it now, as the consortium won’t stand for it and might easily not complete on the sale if they already feel the heat of your angst.

To those of you that are on that thread, happy with the appointment of Paul Hurst. Are you happy that this is a consortium appointment? Because if it isn’t, then it’s a John Fenty appointment. Which it is anyway when you think about it, as he holds the purse strings presently. Do you really think John would appoint a manager mid sale, that he wouldn’t be happy with should the sale fall over before completion? No he wouldn’t. So essentially 70% of you are backing a John Fenty decision, made under his stewardship.

So is there a moral to this story. Clearly there is and as you read this, you will realise that you sit in one of the two camps above. And you really can’t have it both ways. What is abundantly clear is that no matter who owns the club, they will never be clear of the continuous scrutiny, criticism and vitriol that has long since been a pandemic amongst those that support Grimsby Town Football Club. In summary, to me we have a problem, a disease like condition that can be summed up and described in one word.... “GRIMSBY”.
