I have to say, first and foremost, that the two statements made today are a huge improvement on recent comments made by the club and the board must be commended for pitching their thoughts in an effective manner.  

This obviously will fall well short of unifying the community around the management team and boardroom, but I honestly feel much better about the current regime now the club have finally indicated that they are willing to engage people rather than seal themselves inside a bunker.  This should have happened a long time ago.

All with authority at the club are still in a fragile position, however, and the team must start entertaining again before talk of revolution and boycott fade.

What a pile of dross, quality signings, we cant score goals so we get a lad with no league experience in recovering from injuries, pull the other one. If we bring in 3 quality players in this transfer window I will borrow and wear a Port Fail top  when I go for my annual freebie there later in the season.

Quoted from Chrisblor
Will need more time to digest this one in full, but I see they've omitted Lincoln from their list of recently promoted clubs. No surprise there since GTFC seemingly weren't arsed about capitalising on promotion back into the league and promoting season ticket sales to anything like the extent Lincoln were.


But we're doing really well compared to footballing giants Barnet and Forest Gump

Ho hum. Can't honestly say I expected anything from the club, it's just another jolt from the defibrillators, there's still a pulse and that's enough for us..

Quoted from pizzzza
"Unequivocally" not unanimously?


Strange word to use, so in a way to leave no doubt, maybe the board wasn't unanimous so couldn't use the usual word for backing a manager.

Still we see how much they are backing him, we need at least 3 marquee signings not cheap options.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

I can't wait to see the "quality signings"... yeah thats it I've completely lost all enthusiasm for the club after reading that, I feel more flat now then I did after we were relegated to the none league.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

'build a team that is capable of challenging next season'

a ) we've obviously given up on this season then?
b) what's happened to slades commitment to a top 7 finish?

I'll reserve my judgement until we see the quality of signings in this transfer window.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Great statement, looks like we are going all in on Sladeball. But I predict this is another monumental intercourse up.

Only one word for the 'club statement' Bullshit!! so we all should back the club unconditionally , what support does the club ever give the supporters.
Look forward to seeing RS's quality signings .
