Who pays the bills when JF has had enough.

Quoted from cleethorpes_mariner

To be fair thats because  in the last 5 years we have been to Wembley 4 times, Done well in the FA trophy and sold a player for a bucket load of cash.  I seem to think somewhere it was mentioned (fans forum) that the club player budget is set at a competitive level but gives the club a 300k loss each year. this loss is hopefully made up by either bigger than estimated gates or football fortune, If neither happens then I would think the 300k or the shortfall then has to be paid by JF.

Sorry but I cannot see us going to Wembley anytime soon and other than Dembele I dont see us getting money for anyone else.

We get 700k for being in the league. Our gates should more than cover a competitive budget for this division. The problem is since we've been back we've had 3 managers and about 60 players. Making the same mistakes that took us out the league last time. Buy cheap, buy twice.

Agreed the amount of players we have must be costing a fortune, Not sure about the 700k but I would think league 2 players will be on allot more wages than conference players, also less games at home so less gate money and match day income now we dont have the FA trophy, Its ok saying buy cheap but if you dont have the budget to get the best what would you suggest, take a risk and hope it all goes ok

FA Trophy next season?

I hope we never qualify for this comp ever again,

This seasons accounts will make interesting reading....cant imagine we will turn a profit this year....35 + players on the books....no cup runs....ST holders down......crowd average down....Slades alleged wages....its this type of season that supporters need to consider when tubthumping for sack the board.
You can argue we can have a smaller squad, crowds may upturn but none of those are guaranteed.....appointing a manager is a lottery.....every season out of 92 clubs only around a dozen can be seen as succesful or winners....get it wrong and you may be sacking, recruiting again.....player merry go round again....you need capital to support that.

Did the fans sign ( or ask for) 35 + players?

With sensible management and more focus on income generation I remain totally convinced that Grimsby Town FC can be competitive in the 4th tier without a benefactor propping up the club

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

No doubt I'll get red crosses for saying this, but I really do think the Marley bashing is unfair. He only told the guy to "shut up" because he was asked a question and then when he started to answer it the guy who asked the question started ranting and talking over him. I would bet 99% of people on here would have told the bloke to shut up. Watch the video if you don't believe me.

You are right about that incident.

However the guy is still a patronising git.

Quoted from Ipswin

That is a very valid and worrying point I don't know how much they put in and how long the agreement is but I don't fancy replacing Youngs on the shirts with Attaturks Barbers in Stanley street

At least they should have something for the weekend.   . UTMM
