Hardly a decent replacement for Alex Hunt is she!
We need new players not a CEO for another non league campaign.

Bizarre timing and somebody at GTFC is either not reading the current mood of the fans or more likely doesn't give a intercourse.

We need a CEO and it was probably thought it would distract from the current mood, which is underestimating how bad things are right now. I'm sure she's happy to be on board and hopefully doesn't result in a load of payoffs and legal cases like the last new CEO caused. Edit. Sounds like a decent appointment |

I accept that we need a CEO quite how we've managed to entice her from MUFC I don't know? What I meant was Hunt goes out on loan more misery and negative news regarding the team and then this story half hour later hmmmmmm These are strange times in terms of on and off field priorities. |

If we're prepared to pay enough to bring in someone from Man U it's not inconceivable that we could fire Artell and bring in someone until the end of the season to keep us away from the drop. Is it?
How well does she know Serina Wiegman? Or Emma Hayes?

That's a big commitment as with that sort of pedigree she will command a big salary. It doesn't bear thinking about if we go down as she doesn't start here till the summer.

Good luck to her and hope she’s successful & happy in the role.
Hope the club now allow the back office staff to get on and leave the public-facing stuff to the players and management. These people don’t need the same level of scrutiny as the playing staff & don’t need thrusting in front of cameras & microphones at every opportunity.

“Town’s new CEO will oversee all aspects of the club, including the men’s, women’s and Academy teams and commercial activities”.
Fair enough, but I hope the owners have stated to her that the split of workload needs to be heavily weighted towards the men’s team, which will be new to her.
If she’s as good as Debbie then great, but if she’s been brought in to give more balance to all aspects of the club and a clear move away from the men’s team being the priority, she’ll get a shock by the fans’ reaction.
I have my fingers crossed that she’ll take us forward, and especially that we’ll still be in the EFL next season (which is far from certain).

Well said mate the only two I knew where Lisa and Wraithy cos they'd been there years . Just quietly let them get on in the background What really matters is sorting out the men's first team so it can compete . |

It’s not MUFC though, it’s their women’s team. Listening to The Price of Football this morning was good timing, as Kieran McGuire was saying they have turnover of £7m, 80% of which is from marketing, not gate receipts. Hopefully she’s got some good ideas. McGuire was actually full of praise for MUFC women for how, as a small company, they’re not legally obliged to declare everything, but they still do it, saying their accounts are completely transparent. The pod also concentrated on Crawley today, who apparently have lost £80,000 pounds every week in the past year. Madness, but it’s what we’re up against. |

I agree the appointment sounds good with where she's come from. But I doubt she was highly paid, the women's game has no money in it, even at the big clubs |

There were 2 legal cases that I know of against the club due to how she treated them and how their employment ended. 3 people got forced out and paid off, 2 of them then got asked to help out afterwards but refused because of how they were treated. The 3rd took a payoff and left, but didn't want the hassle of a legal case even though everybody in the office thought it was constructive dismissal. Several others left, but I don't know the circumstances other than they didn't like the working environment. Anybody who praises what DC did knows absolutely nothing about what she actually did. She cost the club an absolute fortune and all these people were hard working individuals that were not replaced with better. |

"helped deliver major new facilities at the club’s training ground"
Sounds useful. Maybe a kick up the bottom might also help in getting our 'new' training ground up and running.
Her track record is second to none. Lets hope she still has friends in high places when it comes to loan deals or players who are not playing.

Do we need a CEO? Chief Executive Officer is the top person in an organisation which reports to the board and is the face of the company. The board lays down broad brush requirements, the CEO puts that into practice. Yes? Did DC sack PH? Did DC employ DA? Did DC have fans forums? As I remember all that was done by JS. What actually did DC do? |

Don't they all hate her because all Man Utd Women's best players keep leaving? That's hardly the CEO's fault is it? If the club won't stump up the cash and they get poached by Arsenal / Chelsea then that's on the ownership, not the CEO. |

I think ot sounds more like her involvement in the appointment of Skinner. What I'm hoping for is that she has solid contacts on the commercial side, let's be right, we need some investment to take some weight off Stockwood and Petits wallets tbh. |

Everyone who left under the new owners had to signed disclosure form before leaving, stating they were was not allowed to speak about anything them leaving the club. FACT.
That is very common in termination agreements. |

Is Pen Penfras actually Ian Fleming? I've always assumed so, but never known for sure.

Good luck to her.
She will be using GTFC as a stepping stone into the men's game where the salaries are mode much lucrative. Let's hope she makes some positive changes

Looks like a good appointment, good luck to her.
Despite the opinions of some people Debbie did a good job and if she used compromise agreements to get rid of some of “the furniture” then so be it, this happens every day.
On so many levels the club was a shambles and a few employees took supporters for granted & had zero pride in their paid work.

Copied from a man utd women's supporters comments, on the appointment
"She was put in charge of our contracts and allowed our two biggest players contracts to run out, and go for free ,when we'd had big offers a few months earlier .All our contracts were mis -handled while she's been here ,and they had to draft in people from the mens set up, to bail her out ,she was about to be sacked by sir jim ratcliffe anyway ,so shes jumped before he had the chance. She was totally out of her depth"

By all accounts, Jim Ratcliffe sacks everybody (Ten Hag, beware…), but the appointment does worry me. Seems very much like the FGR female coach experiment to me. This will undoubtedly get red crosses galore, especially after DC’s era, but the whole women’s team thing sounds like a modern day box ticking exercise to me. However, she deserves a chance. And before I get the ‘sexist’ tag attached, maybe you’re right. I don’t really care. I just care about the men’s team - formerly known as Grimsby Town Football Club. It’s all any of us care about, no matter what society tells you that you should think. |

Did Sir Jim say he was going to sack her ? I thought he spoke about having a new super stadium. BUT Can't see where he said he was going to sack anybody. |

Quoted Text
Ineos plan women’s team shake-up
The behind-the-scenes overhaul at United is not limited to Erik Ten Hag’s team. Confidential understands Ineos are also planning changes on the women’s side ahead of next season.
Polly Bancroft was appointed head of women’s football in October 2022, but Mail Sport understand she's set to leave the club.
There has been talk of disorganisation behind the scenes and Ineos want to ensure a smoother process when it comes to transfers and contract negotiations.
Bancroft was originally handling these areas before Sam Barnett, who has now left the club, was drafted in from the men’s side to help during the summer. United’s transfer negotiator Matt Hargreaves and women’s player recruitment lead Harvey Bussell also became involved.
Sounds messy. Source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sp.....n-Harry-Maguire.html |

I'm pleased to see that the knives are out for the new CEO before she's even started the job.
I, for one, am shocked that we have employed somebody who wears dresses. Down with that sort of thing etc etc.

With your in depth, expert knowledge of the BCorp application process I would be grateful if you could explain how this appointment assists our application. And what exactly is it about Polly being a woman merits your apparent ire? Finally,with your in depth expert knowledge of footballing CEO's I would be grateful to know who would've been on your short list n who you would've appointed instead |

Hardly a decent replacement for Alex Hunt is she!
We need new players not a CEO for another non league campaign.
No… no she isn’t! I’d even go as far to say that I’ll safely assume she’s never played played a centre midfield role in men’s professional football in her life! Thanks heavens she is coming in as CEO and not to play the deep lying playmaker role! Close one that, thanks for spotting! |

It says that since coming in 2022 to man u women she has helped grow attendances and commercial income - well if a boiled potato was appointed then it would have achieved the same as all women's teams have seen an upsurge in interest and sponsorship etc. It's only relevant if she has achieved more than would have been expected anyway, given that man u women are 2nd in the world for income that may well be the case.
No doubt if she's a success she won't be here long as we are an entry for her into being a CEO on the more lucrative mens side of the game, but nothing wrong with that and it will mean she has been a success with us. The fact man u brought people from the men's side of the organisation to discuss contracts on her watch though is quite a bit of an alarm bell.
I do hope that this isn't going to herald GTFC womens games at BP though, the pitch won't take double use and it's incredibly expensive to replace as we recently found out. That would be a massive and expensive error we can't afford in my opinion.

You couldn’t justify having the women’s games at BP, they’re not professionals. It’d be like letting a random 22 posters on here have a kick around. You wouldn’t let two teams from Division 9 of the Grimsby Sunday League play there, and that’s about the level. The women’s team are very lucky to have the chance to represent the club, as there are thousands of us that’d love to but can’t (because we’re not good enough!). |

She starts in June as per the DN35 pod.
A good friend of mine has worked directly with the new CEO in a previous role.
They said she’s fantastic at her job and the fact that Man U Women lost some players is no reflection on her. They just wouldn’t pay the wages to keep the likes of Russo.

She has had varied experience at top clubs. I also doubt that Man United would appoint someone to a key position who was not good at their job. (Apart from most of the men’s first team).

Does a midsize league two team warrant a CEO really.
For me it’s another 100 grand a year we can spend on players.

Believe it or not, the position of Chief Executive at Grimsby Town is not something new, Ian Fleming held the role for a number of years prior to the owners coming in. |

I guess you could argue that for every aspect of the club that isn’t the playing budget, but realistically if you want to progress you need the infrastructure the driving force to achieve that. What you’re saying feels very ‘strength and conditioning coach doesn’t get you three points on a Saturday’. |

We can certainly tell that the Football season is over and there’s nothing left to moan about!!
It seems as though we still have many archaic attitudes and behaviours at the club (fanbase) but the simple fact is that we need to rethink the way we do business if we are survive and become sustainable moving forward then we have to evolve.
Let’s give Polly the environment to be successful, rather than prejudice before she’s even started!!
Good luck Polly, I hope you smash it!

Morning Yoda Look I don’t disagree with all your posts and you clearly want the team to succeed as we all do. However, you obviously voice a number of strong opinions on how the club is run, how the budget is allocated and the relative competency of our Manager and why a CEO is required. Having read your comments immediately after listening to the DN35 podcast I would seriously recommend you contact Jason or Andrew and ask to have a twenty minute chat with them or at least exchange thoughts constructively via one of the social media platforms. Hopefully, it would help alleviate some of your concerns and as a consequence more positive posts may emanate from you. Nothing wrong with being critical just helps if some of the criticisms are constructive. |

Speaking personally from Lincoln's perspective, who have clearly been successful and continue to be relatively successful, I think the CEO has been absolutely pivotal in all of this. Absolutely necessary in my eyes. |

If there isn't a CEO in the business, then how do you think the owners business is going to be operated on a day to day basis? A business needs a senior operational executive leading on the floor. Think of it it as a managing director role if you like. There are many different facets to the business, including a middle management team etc. And it is the CEO that pulls all of that together and leads the business in all areas, at the behest of the business owners who are not full involved managerially on a day to day basis. |

In money terms GTFC is a tiny business with a turnover of 4-5 million does it warrant a full time CEO.
Just an opinion.

Not just Lincoln, look at Ipswich. Mark Ashton has been a massive reason they are so successful on the pitch.. answering the question yes a good CEO can get you 3 points on a Saturday. |

I'm sure she is brilliant but i'm currently chuckling away to myself at the idea of packing a job in where you go to work every day in an office overlooking the idyllic Lake Geneva and Swiss Alps, and a few years later are spending your working days in the Findus stand overlooking the picturesque Humber Estuary. |

Funnily enough I have personal experience of this. I spent two years working in Geneva, a city so boring it made coming back to live in Grimsby for a few years feel like a paragon of activity (good for skiing though!). |

I worked for Nestle and spent quite a bit of time at head office in Vevey. It was the ivory tower of all time, direct views over the lake and mountains but gracious me it’s a boring country. And brutally expensive
UK is a much better place to live, and she gets to drink in the taphouse with views over the boating lake. The woman would be mad not to pick Cleethorpes

Pffft, why wouldnt anyone want to come and work in the Umber Riviera, Miles of Golden sand, Steels fish and chips, top crazy golf courses, the fitties nearby for weekend away. She would have been mad to have not taken the role! Seriously though, there are far worse places to be based and work. |

"We are excited to announce that Polly Bancroft will become the new Chief Executive of Grimsby Town FC at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season"
Do we have a date when Polly begins her tenure? I'd got it in my head it was today, as I thought the season officially ended yesterday (most likely incorrectly), but now I think it may be the end of June.
Can anybody clarify, please?

I thought her tenure started from today don't know if this has been shred before, but it's a pretty impressive c.v. https://www.linkedin.com/in/pollybancroft/I suspect that Gareth Jennings has been instrumental in this appointment, as both are on the Technical Committee of the Association of Sporting Directors |

why don't you feck right off? what does it matter what they look like? it's how good they are at their job. And i speak as someone who's wife worked their way up from nothing to achieve far more than I did, and as a grandparent to a young lady who looks like she has the potential to have the world at her feet it is neanderthal and completely unacceptable |

Seems switched on & clearly has a good background. She has big boots to fill as Debbie did a good job I’m sure JS & AP will get this right.

She’s fitter than Debbie
Debbie bought a place in a half marathon off me before she was GTFC famous so it’s a reasonably high bar. |

Hope our new one is as good. If she is a looker that’s a bonus not a requirement

Forza - I’ve never been on Facebook, and never will. Maybe you should stay off it? The guy sounds like a total n#b, but honestly, policing FB is surely a waste of your time? For what it’s worth, the new CEO seems smart and talks well. I liked DC, I like this one too. Good management at the top. But still, let’s not get so faux offended about everything, jeez. |

Not at all . As im sure the majority of fishyites will appreciate it was a juvenile yet light hearted welcome. If our CEO is offended she may DM me and I’ll apologise unreservedly. |

“Majority” of people on here would be sensible to assume that Polly won’t debase herself by reading this board never mind sending PMs in response to misogynistic posts considering the impact social media had on her predecessor. The moronic mafia might get after me but I’m with Forza TBH. There’s just no need. |

let me be clear IT IS NOT BEING 'faux offended'. I AM OFFENDED. in fact I am fuckin furious, for the reasons I have given before. I spent years coaching young athletes, persuading girls that they are not 2nd best and that they can achieve in anything they want to, but then i read degrading 'bantz' like that. Try listening to The Life Scientific with Jim Alkhalili, who interviews so many female scientists ,who have achieved so much, despite none of us knowing anything about them. It doesn't matter what they look like, i have absolutely no idea, it is what they have achieved Bet you wouldn't like it if someone spoke so degradingly about your wife/girlfriend/sister/mother/daughter/niece Rant over; please don't do it again |

I applied to be in the audience, submitted the question Beth Rigby put to Rishi Sunak about there being 3 PM's and 5 Chancellors since the last election. Sky News rang me and probed me about my question for 20 minutes last week, but wasn't selected. I was told the audience would be representative on a local and national level, picked by an independent company, so imagine my surprise when I saw Jason sat front and centre. The camera also fixed on Philip Day for about 30 seconds. |

Stockwood's very cosy some of the current names at the top of Labour. I'm sure the £35,000 he's gifted vile Lisa Nandy helps significantly with securing prime seats at political events - https://www.manchestereveningn.....-manchester-25928461 |

The reach group own this newspaper, just like our GT. Sometimes they appear to check the articles they write, as high lighted. Ms Nandy has declared 43 financial interests worth £286,700 in donations, gifts, and payments. The largest single item she has declared is a donation worth £25,000 from Jason Stockwood.Ms Nandy’s biggest overall financial interest came from donations from the GMB Unions worth £75,130. She also received donations worth £35,000 overall from Jason Stockwood and £22,320 from Ministry of Sound. The top five sources are: GMB Union, Jason Stockwood, Ministry of Sound, Andrew Collis and Simon Tuttle. So was it 25k or 35k. The article keeps up the reputation of Reach Group which in my opinion is awful. I'm not really bothered where JS flashes his money, but I am very pleased he sent a few million in the direction of Grimsby Town. |

It says a single donation of £25k, but £35k overall, which suggests he made at least another donation. GMB donated £75k, but this wasn't as a single donation. |

The last few pages of this seem to have become anything but about the new CEO.
For what it's worth, I thought Polly came across really well on both Sky and on the club's YT video. Seems very knowledgeable about the club and the area already so has done her research. The fact that she's prepared to move to the area and have her son (I think she said) start school here shows a long term commitment. Really interested to see how she can move the club on. UTM

With your in depth, expert knowledge of the BCorp application process I would be grateful if you could explain how this appointment assists our application.
And what exactly is it about Polly being a woman merits your apparent ire?
Finally,with your in depth expert knowledge of footballing CEO's I would be grateful to know who would've been on your short list n who you would've appointed instead
I don't mind her CV embellishments and taking most of the kudos for women/manu womens team growth, but we all know its a push by the TV(BBC) and media that is growing women's football. She grabbed hold of the coattails and got pulled along. That's OK by me. I do wish her well at GTFC as we need growth to pay for Team/Stadium/Training facilities. Let's see how she does without any coattails to grab hold of and a much more competitive environment. |

I think it’s a huge positive to have someone with an in-depth operational knowledge of football, especially at the level Man Utd women play at - they average 11k a week, are a huge brand globally and the kind of pressures/demands that the CEO will be under in that role far surpasses anything we have here.

This may have been mentioned already on this thread but I noticed on Linkedin that Polly has a UEFA B coaching licence. So as well as being an experienced administrator, she also has hands on knowledge of the game. Is she the first Town CEO to be a qualified coach?

why don't you feck right off?
what does it matter what they look like? it's how good they are at their job.
And i speak as someone who's wife worked their way up from nothing to achieve far more than I did, and as a grandparent to a young lady who looks like she has the potential to have the world at her feet
it is neanderthal and completely unacceptable
I’m offended that you’re offended. Looks, potential, feet… You’re as bad as the rest of us. |

Because you say that your friend was a normal working Grimsby person it doesn't mean Jason is. Starmer said that Victoria Beckham was a normal working person - not many normal working people in Grimsby then. |

So how do you identify a normal working Grimsby person. Is it by how much money he has worked for and earned during his life time, or is it where he was born? Jason was born on the Nunsthorpe estate, and worked hard through this career to earn his millions, no one gave him it, so why can he not be a normal working Grimsby person? |

Look up the meaning of "normal" Normal does not apply to him as far as hs career and wealth are concerned. A normal working Grimsby person is not of the upper class who reads The Guardian he is most likely middle to lower class who reads The Sun or The Mirror |

Look up the meaning of "normal" Normal does not apply to him as far as hs career and wealth are concerned. A normal working Grimsby person is not of the upper class who reads The Guardian he is most likely middle to lower class who reads The Sun or The Mirror
Well I have to disagree, I’m sure he is a normal person, also sure he is a working person and he is definitely from a Grimsby. So I guess you are saying because he has earned x amount of money, then that stops him from being normal? So where is the financial cut off point that makes him not normal? |

Because you say that your friend was a normal working Grimsby person it doesn't mean Jason is. Starmer said that Victoria Beckham was a normal working person - not many normal working people in Grimsby then.
Bloody hell, when did you have an injection of seriousness? Mrs B wasn’t a normal working person either, her dad was successful in business, think she went to some stage school & they had their own swimming pool in the garden. |

If JS wasn’t a normal person he wouldn’t have got involved with GTFC/1878. He must also be a working person as unless you win the lottery you generally have to work hard to become so wealthy after a “normal” start. |

If you replace "normal" with "down to earth" then it all fits in.

Why would he not be a normal worker? His wealth isn’t normal but he achieved it by working, it wasn’t handed to him, he didn’t have riches behind him and from his recent interview he spent some years working in a call centre before making a few decisions that altered the trajectory of his life. He’s just as much a ‘normal’ worker as anyone else, who can equally make a decision, take a gamble on something and end up in a completely different space with regards their personal wealth and lifestyle it may afford. I could also be wrong but I interpreted the post about a friend being in the audience as a counter to some suggestion that the crowd was rigged with people who fit a certain agenda (might be ad libbing that last part). My wife also knows some woman who went too, the sister of a friend. |

And it really is as simple as that everyone, glad we've cleared that up now. |

I don’t know what’s funnier: the Guardian being an upper class paper or thinking that anyone from the upper class would have anything to do with GTFC.

The funniest part of this is the idea that someone born on the Nunny is upper class. |

Didn't he live on the Nunny as well? He didn't live anywhere fancy for his formative years, that's for sure.

I’m absolutely on board with people having the freedom to do whatever they please, provided it’s within the boundaries of basic decency. But buying and reading The Sun really begins to test those boundaries. If they’re not publishing outright and hugely damaging lies about the greatest footballing tragedy in British history then they’re busy hacking the phone of a murdered schoolgirl, and if they’re not doing any of that shít, they’re quite at home racially abusing high-profile footballers or ruining multiple people’s lives in a single hit, with or without the necessary evidence to back up their claims. It’s a cesspit of bile and misinformation, with a deliberate intention to incite, divide and misdirect. There is absolutely nothing of value to be found there no matter your social class, political persuasion or level of intelligence. People are free to read it, outside of the Liverpool post code area at least, but my original point stands - they really shouldn’t. Fúck The Sun. |

Norman Lamont?
Upper middle class. Upper class is the aristocracy: hereditary titles, vast land owners etc. You can only really be born into that social group and they don’t follow L2 football. |
