Please tell me you made that up ?!?! Hahahahahahahahaha....Long term..5 yrs... why the fck cant they just say " Good morning everyone...as previously announced here is Mr Jolley our new first team manager...any questions ? "
They are already setting themselves up for a missed target... we currently have ..
New ground in two years
Championship in five years
Highly unlikely on both counts i would say as we are currently just sitting outside the relegation from the football league places, havn't won in 15 games, have 5/6 players in place for next season, havn't even submitted an outline planning application for a ground ...yet we hope to be playing Championship football in the FentyExtreme Dome in 5 years ?!?! I hope there was some sniggering at that point.
MJ was almost sniggering at that point. As Matt Dean pointed out, he had a wry smile on his face. |

Like the look of him. Sounded good and articulate. I have no problem with Philip Day saying we are ambitious we just need theboard to back that up with cash in the summer.

The Board/Club gets criticised enough for not showing any ambition. So I don't mind them showing some ambition with the Championship aspiration. Note this was only after saying that he believes we should be capable as a Club of holding our own in the top half of League One. It wasn't like he just came out all guns blazing saying we want Championship football in 5 years.
No harm in aiming high is there?
Some on here recently have suggested that some of the Board would be happier for us to be in the Conference where we'd be a big fish in a small pond, so maybe there's an element of batting that away with this comment too?

No totally understand and don't disagree with any of your comments but did have to check on 'perfunctory'.
Championship statement was stupid given the situation were in but there again there have been many bullet holes in the foot of Grimsby Town one should never be surprised of another. Can't blame anyone for being cynical and defeatist after watching what we are. One can only Hope!
Ok. Been in my workshop hitting stuff with big hammers, so have chilled a bit since this morning. As ever, the manager will get my backing at the ground and i will say that he came across quite well this morning, so i wish him luck and can't wait to see what happens at BP on Saturday. As you say, one can only hope. |

I would say that they get criticised more for constantly failing with those ambitions. There is nothing wrong with ambition as you rightly point out, but the evidence has been to the contrary for too many years. I would be happy to be competing at this level and not constantly looking over our shoulders. |

Ambition is great, but you need evidence to back it up. If we survive, then lets have the discussion about future plans, and the method of achieving them. |

Wonder if Radio Humbs are being crafty and insisted on Matt Dean doing the interview, leading to the non-chairman not fancying it after their last cosy chat.
Much better way, John Fenty out playing golf and Steve Marley sedated and stored in the broom cupboard out of the public's way for a couple of hours.
He is Radio Humberside's sports editor, not sure who else they would send and he seemed to be the only one asking the questions. |
