Cannot be going into the season with Green and Khouri as your midfield options ( which with the way Thompson was moving on Saturday) is looking like its going to be


I think you forgot about McGeachan. (Sp)

Fifa are the governing body of football and they give out annual player scores (data). Fifa 24 is this years data.

You cannot invoke the thoughts of the majority of posters,I certainly not happy with our recruitment.Whilst I do not always agree with Yoda, he has a right to his opinion without being subject to personal abuse.


Excuse me but I have not personally abused Yoda.  You are mixing me up with the poster who called him a tool, and another who told him to F@ck Off!

The fact is that Grimsby is a club worth investing in. We maybe be struggling at the moment but are still getting an average attendance of 7000. That is remarkable. Just think if we were successful how we could build on that good will.

We were spoiled. Absolutely. Does that mean we shouldn’t be spoiled again? Perhaps do something like the mighty Crawley or even what our neighbours are doing now or 10 years ago in the case of Scunny?

If sustainability and bodging up a knackered stadium is the limit of the club’s ambition, then attendances will quickly dwindle. I’m not saying the owners want that and I’m sure there’s signings to come but the current squad as it stands scares me.




This isn't aimed at you but people need to realise that if we want to be spoiled then it comes at a price, similarly having a new swanky stadium comes at an even higher price. unless of course someone else picks up the bill.

Though to a degree I subscribe to the "build it and they will come" philosophy on and off the field it shouldn't be at any cost or put the club at risk and despite some people's believe there will always be a glass ceiling without a benefactor blindly throwing money at it a strategy, that can be massively counter productive if they lose interest.

The bit in bold, as much as it hurts to say it I'm not clear why getting involved in Town would be an investment you'd likely get an equitable return on.

The investors are coming as far as I’m reliably told. Exciting news potentially bigger news than I was expecting. But if I was in charge of the club I’d be pumping extra ££ in for this window so we’re going in the right direction for when they come in .

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Fenty, for all the his many flaws, did understand that the way to a more financially stable club was to increase revenue streams via a new stadium.

Equally, I understand the costs and that we may well have missed the boat. But the idea that a new owner is picking up unforeseen costs that Fenty left behind baffles me. They (187 must have known the situation. In addition, they were blessed with two seasons where the outcome couldn’t have been better. My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that they haven’t kicked on from there and seem reluctant to do so.

If we have new investments, then great but let’s kick on not kick our heels.

The issue is as recently as the last few interviews (DN35)  they have doubled down on how 'suprised ' they were at the amount of work required at BP so that suggests either due dilegence was poor , they had the wool pulled over their eyes somewhat or that these problems didn't actually exist until further down the line after  the takeover .

It's up to people to make their own mind up on that 1 .
