DA will be manager next week.

DA will be manager at the end of March

DFA will be manger at the end of the season.

If we stay up (and I think we will).

DA will be the manager at the end of the 24/25 season and we will be in the play-offs.

And yes I have been taking my medication!

I'm glad you have taken your medication but you should really lie down and wait to nurse arrives.

Not a chance in hell. Imagine, if you will, that we get a good shoeing at play-off chasing Morecambe (who also happen to be 2nd in the form table), and then follow that up with a performance and result against Forest Green to match the last few home games. BP has already been a powder keg of late, but that would be the spark to see things properly go off. Difficult to predict precisely what that might look like, and I’d rather not think about it, but it won’t be pleasant.

I think it highly unlikely Artell can survive defeat in our next game, but if he somehow does, there’s simply no way he could survive losing to the veggies as well. We’ll be as good as relegated at that point.

I feel for the owners at the minute - they have some difficult decisions to make on the back of a scenario that would have been unthinkable a year ago. But the longer this embarrassing run of results continues, and the longer Artell is allowed to remain in spite of it, the quicker the sympathy and respect will ebb away. Harsh perhaps, but a reality of football club ownership.


I don't think we should be feeling sorry for the owners I doubt they got to where they are in business without getting rid of poor performing employees.

Some have been dispensed with from GTFC.

They need to make a quick decision now either confirm Artell will be here till the end of the season or get rid.

Looks to me like they’re giving him another game - probably because it’s away and they can be said to be giving DA every single ounce of a fair chance. It’s a calculated risk. One more defeat - and it will be a defeat - won’t relegate us and it might just turn. I don’t agree with it but I understand it. Behind the scenes they’ll be succession planning.

Surely the players are not that thick, they must realise if they get relegated with Grimsby there next contract will be at Tesco

The chairmen refuse to invest properly in players.
It is as simple as that.
We should be buying good League 1 players and the odd Championship level player to progress.
Instead we go for others cast offs and the dregs.
Expect season after season of false hopes and failure until the owners wake up and smell the mustard!

Most people were pleased with recruitment at the time. Both over the summer and in January. For whatever reason, despite some decent incoming players 'on paper', we just haven't clicked as a team.

Our owners are wealthy by most people's standards, but they aren't Ryan Reynolds and co. wealthy. It would be completely unsustainable to throw money at getting Championship (!) players in. Wrexham did it, but we're talking completely different amounts of wealth, plus celebrity status generating large income streams (Welcome to Wrexham etc.)

The one thing Stockwood and Petit have been consistent about is that the club needs to run sustainably. I'm not sure them wasting away their life earnings in one transfer window is part of that plan.
