Where's Matt Dean, JT, Burnsy, Nigel Lowther et al when we encounter such a vacuum of info about our squad? Are the players treated as badly as the fans? Thanks for the update Grimreaper but you have depressed me further!
I just felt the fans on this forum needed to know the truth. If RS does not want him, why is he not man enough to tell him face to face. I speak to Akwasi everyday. He has not moaned once, stays in a bedsit on his own and gets on with the job. However he is treated Akwasi will be putting in a full training whatever happens.

Genuine question to clarify matters,... is asante training with just the youth team, instead of the full team? Also is this short term or permanent? Oh and how old is he as I've forgotten. And finally.... does he commute from Birmingham area or live locally?
Not defending slade, but wanna know more.
One more thought.... can anyone on the fishy post the career goal scoring records of all of our strikers and midfielders ?!!? 😆

Asante could be just what we need right now, it’s not as if the other strikers are doing enough to keep him out of the team. He could be like a new signing to the team but RS has seen his backside with him for some reason and we know full well that probably spells the end for Asante at GTFC.
Keep plugging away Akwasi, we’re all rooting for you over that clueless, sorry excuse for a football manager!

What slade needs is someone to confront him with this. We are all sick to the back teeth of him, why does he continue to lie to us? Spout his rubbish in every interview. Please Mr Fenty get rid of him

Problem is that in the trumpesque world of blundell park these days- journalists must not ask questions...

In answer to your questions: 1. Akwasi is training with the youth teams not the 22 players in the first team squad. On Tuesday couple of the senior players got niggles while playing 11 vs 11. Instead of getting Akwasi to fill in two of the younger players were asked. A bit humiliating to say the least. Today he was involved in a bit of shape work as they say against the first team for 15 minutes. That was it. He carried on, on his own. 2. Regarding it being temporary or permanent, nobody has spoken to him so he is in the dark. 3. Akwasi is 25yrs old, 26 in September 4. At present Akwasi Stays in Grimsby from Monday morning to Saturday evening then, goes back to Wolverhampton to spend little time with his young family, then he is back to Grimsby for Monday. I hope I have answered your questions. With regards to goals have a look at Akwasi's on you tube there are plenty of them, and when he went up against Nathan Redmond, on Soccer AM. It sounds as if I am trying to sell him to you, that is not correct, his record speaks for himself, even though blighted by a serious injury in the early days, needs a fair chance either at Grimsby or any club.

He is a nasty,horrible,unproffessional dishonest person who has lied or stretched the truth since his very 1st interview,the one where he was asked about his 1st contact with fenty.....so untrustworthy it's unreal and what a way to treat one of your players.....we could of easy reached the play offs this season but sadly slade has either got shut of the players that would of got us there or not played to their strengths, and as for his signings well i wouldnt trust him with another penny....awful clueless manager and it's only a matter of when he leaves not if

As others have mentioned, the depressing thing is that pretty much all of the players look like they are actually trying their hardest. A lack of effort could be dealt with one way or another. A lack of ability can't.
It’s not necessarily a lack of ability. It’s a lack of being able to do a certain job in a certain way. I do believe that we have a squad that has the ability to finish top half of the table. But only if that squad is used correctly. If you try to use a hammer as a screwdriver it would be sh1t. But it doesn’t mean it should be thrown out of the toolbox. !!

I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'  |

Frankly reading that I am disgusted with Slade. I never wanted him back but this goes too far. He needs calling out on this it's no way to treat someone trying their best to make it in the game.

I agree Grimsby have the players to be able to comfortable retain their status in the league, but as you point out some of the players are not being played in there natural positions, I look at the players that RS has got rid off this year, would have done a good job, they are better players than what he has replaced them with, but until he changes the big hoof ball game the team is going to struggle. It does remind me though of the new manager at solihull moors , he plays the same way hoofing the ball up. They are in the bottom 3.
