You forgot to add  , Thanks in advance.........Mrs HURST


I'm getting very close to stopping posting on this message board - comments like this on top of some of the posts which appear to be attacking people personally (whether it's Paul Hurst, John Fenty, John-Lewis or other posters) make me question whether I want to continue to contribute my views here.

Perhaps you'd like to re-read what I actually wrote. I suggested several questions which could/should be asked to help consider the situation objectively and rationally (they're applicable to other organisations too when trying to stand back and work out what's best for the future). They are the sort of questions that I'd expect a Board to ask when facing a challenging decision - and to assess calmly and with some distance from the emotions expressed on a fans' message board in the immediate aftermath of a disappointing couple of results and performances.

I expressed no views as to the answers - I can see / listen to 90 minute games but that's only part of the whole situation at the club. I'd hope that John Fenty and others would have the confidence to consider such questions objectively and not just to react to the pressure of opinions expressed on message board (or at service stations).

Signing on fee/expenses for new manager, possible compensation for new manager, transfer kitty for new manager. Then most of the players are PH players, they may see their contracts out without 100% effort if they think they won't be here next year. Might have to pay a few of them off to get them out the door.


Do you see 100% out there at the moment then?

Because I certainly don't  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Quoted from GrimRob
If JF has the 100 grand to spare that (my guestimate) it would cost to sack Hurst and appoint a replacement, then I'm indifferent how he spends his money as I don't think any other manager would make much difference (see Chapter 6 of Soccernomics  - Do Managers Matter? The Cult of the White Messiah). Personally if he's going to put 100 grand in I'd prefer it on strengthening the squad in January as that would almost certainly make a material difference.


In life you have to pay for your mistakes (see chapter 4 of How to intercourse up a football club by J Fenty)


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Because he's failed miserably! And continues to fail. He's a master at failure. And the club is suffering. He's racking up debt like i don't know what. And continues to make the same mistakes. Not mention his embarrassing media kick outs.

He's cut my club to shreads so much so I'll nickname him jihad. i  John!!!



terrible and sick!


Today we got our team back - town fan leaving Wembley may 2016

For christ's sake, grow up. What are you hoping to acheive by snidely attacking fellow fans whose opinions just happen to differ to yours?

Having an attack on fenty is one thing but to call someone that is disgusting after what some families have been through due to that evil name you have mentioned.

Its all ok having banter about certain things but even i know were to draw the line.

Try without his money then. If you are so dense not to appreciate the power of money then I can't even be arsed to explain. If I was Fenty I would tell you lot to intercourse off, take my money to somewhere like Lincoln and laugh in your faces at the chaos and subsequent demise at GTFC that ensued. But fortunately he's not. Yet.




If you are so dense (or scared of JF) not to be able to see who put us in so much debt then you are beyond explaining to.  FFS

Maybe you could take this site to somewhere like Lincoln and rename it "The Impy" then laugh in our faces etc etc etc.

Would that be THE Lincoln City who haven't got any money, have lower crowds than we do and are currently only 3 points behind us?
