Looks like a perfect opportunity for Ian Holloway to buy into the club, move home, and create the legacy he desires..........
I like it, he could create a team to be proud of…. I know I am bitter about him but as a Grimsby manager he was the biggest turd of all time utm To add to this, as soon as you think a team is absolutely down and out and they have no chance they have a tendency to give you a kicking. I will gamble against us and be delighted to lose my bet

Not very complimentry about Hursty is he... On appointing managers in recent times, he said of Hurst...
“Then you bring another guy in who just doesn’t do the job that he said he would do."
Weirdly, he talked about all the managers who failed but didn't mention Graham Alexander who he sacked when the club were in the play offs in L1!

It's pretty rare at a football club outside the top few places that there aren't at least some supporters calling for the manager to leave.

I think when you look at what we've gone through in the past few months, regardless of still being where we are in the table with one gone and one going it's fair to say we are sitting happier than we were. Which was my point. Having said that once the takeover is completed I will breath a little easier.
*Pedant alert* I am not picking a fight with you mate I'm just trying to be realistic - we are actually worse off, when the sh*t hit the fan about Fenty and Hollowords left we weren't in the relegation zone. I am sure Hurst will improve things on the pitch, if the takeover goes through we have a much brighter future ahead but those things haven't happened yet. I'm sure you feel better and more optimistic (and that's great) but the good times have not arrived.

Ehh? Think you're getting your wires crossed pal, never thought or insinuated you were. Just simply replying explaining what I meant by my original comment, nothing more, nothing less.

Theres a wealthy chap called Alex May looking to invest in a football club. Maybe Fenty can give Peter Swan a call with his mobile number

Takeover or no takeover, we are in deep excrement heading for the National League.

Interesting couple of articles in the Telewag these past couple of days that point towards discontent down the road in Scunny. Interesting to see whether this shows on the field tomorrow, but it appears some fans are calling for Neil Cox to be sacked and chairman Peter Swann to leave. The Scunny reporter appears to be blaming the players as opposed to the manager, and with Swann it appears the club aren't looking too handsome off the field. He is open to the sale of the club but is stating there is absolutely nobody interested in investing or taking over. With our issues levelling off with the exit of Holloway and Fenty on the edge of departure, it could be the best time to play them tomorrow. I really hope our boys are up for this. It's going to be the biggest derby in a long while. https://www.grimsbytelegraph.c.....-no-interest-4906677https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/scunthorpe-united-neil-cox-swann-4912098
They will be a bit happier now.
