Statement: Grimsby Town FC – Backing Slade/Wilko

Always try and support the Club
V disappointed with this statement
Have we lost Osborne and Tombola for good then?
That’s how I read it
Sam Jones and more recently Mills looking a shadow of their former selves
No Good strikers
I expected this tack from the club but what it won’t change is the poor and seemingly disinterested bunch that we have seen the last few weeks
Worried
Come on Town!!

I literally don't get how people are kind of stating that the statement is a good start towards things...its salesman talk, telling you what you want to hear so you buy into it. By all means we now know this bloke inside out, he's a good talking business man but clueless when it comes to football. Don't believe the dross and stay away, hit these twits in the pocket like they have us over many of years.

Call me a cynic but Would be interested to know where the 'investment' mentioned is coming from. Jf increasing his benign loans or from the sales of dembele and Jones? Not totally unknown for a rallying call to be given before the announcement of bad news

Mills was my MoM on Saturday, admittedly there wasn't much competition

I've read it three times now and i really want to believe. Trouble is at the moment i don't think any of the fans have any belief in the manager, his assistant or the players. You can only live in hope for so long before it wears you down. We need to believe and that will only come with better players, better performances and better results. Some decent football wouldn't go amiss either, but for now we need to get back on track and stop the rot.

I said a few days ago that i didn't think the manager was going to be removed, so i would keep my powder dry and see what January brings, and that is what i'm doing. Two players out and one inexperienced player in so far, so they need to up their game somewhat.

I'll leave it for now with this:

Words..........Action. Please don't let it be the former once again.

Well i hope they are realising that you have to spend money to make money. Investing in 2 or 3 really good players could pay for itself by the end of the season, if they can get the gates back up again.

You can just imagine Jacob Marley counting the pennies at the gate on Saturday!

SHUT UP ! I'm trying to count !

Is this a vote of confidence because we know what usually follows backing from the board

Quoted from Cod Cheeks

This is the board saying that we would lose too much face by sacking him so we're going to let him have some more cash because it would be cheaper than paying off two contracts. In the middle of that, they've employed a PR consultant to write a couple of decent press releases.

So the next 3 games are Newport at home, Colchester away and Luton at home, All teams above us. What happens if after signing 3 or 4 players we don't win any of the games plus our terrible goal scoring continues. Do we then get rid of the management team or do we just keep hoping whilst the crowds keep dwindling?
