I fell asleep in October 2016 feeling really happy and expecting to have sweet dreams during the night. We still had a bright young manager who was tactically competent, who the players loved playing for and who had got us into a playoff position in our first few months back in the football league. But instead of nice peaceful dreams, I had the most shocking nightmare whereby that bright young manager fooked off to manage someone else and was replaced firstly, by an unintelligible buffoon and then by a man who kept referring to his PowerPoint statistics while our beloved club disintegrated into a pile of ashes.

Then I woke up, and thought “don’t worry it was only a nightmare...I’m sure Paul Hurst didn’t desert us after all”. Then I realised it wasn’t a nightmare...it has actually happened!

Mr Fenty I have often defended you while others have been critical...but I have to tell you now that the game is up. You know what you have to do. And if you fail in your duty, then I’m afraid history will judge you as a coward...a man who could have done the right thing to save our club, but chose not to.

Please John...before it’s too late...I’m begging you to pull the trigger.

Quoted from MuddyWaters


I found non league pretty intolerable last time. I wouldn't tolerate it again because this situation with Slade has been created by the non chairman's incompetence.


I’m with you mate.  
I will not be going back to BP if we are a non league club again.
If by some miracle we don’t go down I won’t be renewing my ST if Russ is still in charge.





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.

Fenty will at least have acheived his ambition of making a mark on GTFC history. He'll be the only person to have presided over the club getting relegated out of the League TWICE.

That bunch in 1910 are mere amateurs by comparison. They only managed it once, and that was when there were only 2 divisions in the League. Getting dumped out of the 4th division twice is really exceptional.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

He might read it but he won't give a flying fig what anyone is or has been telling him for months. Let's not forget that Fenty brought Slade back so when Slade goes, Fenty has to go as well, including the benign debt, clean slate all round.


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.

Slade = utter disaster.

There are 5.4 million businesses in the UK and I would imagine that someone who had performed as badly as Slade would have been have sacked from 5,399,999 of them.

I literally can not think how he could have made a worse job of it, we are a complete and utter shambles. It's not one thing, it's everything. It's so bad it's beyond the pale.

In Slade's 16 games in charge of Coventry he won 3, drew 5 and lost 8, scored 17 conceded 26.

In Slade's last 16 games in charge of Grimsby he's won 3, drawn 4 and lost 9, scored 10 conceded 24.

Now, he was only given 16 games at Coventry and they were in all sorts of trouble on and off the pitch. He couldn't sign any of his own players and they were already doomed, so you can sort of understand why his record was so bad there.

Worryingly, he's actually been worse for us - and that's after he was given a head start, i.e. April to December, during which he could bring in his type of players and spend literally half a year coaching them to play his way.

There can be no excuses. He was a disaster at Coventry and he's been even more of a disaster with us.

Fenty spoke about a manager being only 6 games away from the sack. A lot of people have been pointing at our last 12 games, but the problems go back even further.

Last 20 games he's won 3, drawn 6 and lost 11, scored 10 conceded 27.

This is APPALLING.

15 points from a possible 60 - relegation form over nearly half a season.

Let me know if you want me to put this in a powerpoint presentation, John, if that's what it takes. More than happy to ram these down Slade's stupid face.

You don't need a powerpoint presentation when a picture writes a thousand words of what we think of Sladeball.

Can I just add that in 2009/10 Neil Woods' first 20 league games in charge was as follows:

Won 0, drew 14, lost 6, scored 13 conceded 23

So that was 14 points from a possible 60. Despite not winning, we actually scored 3 more and conceded 4 fewer when compared to Slade's last 20 games in charge here.

So, in a nutshell, while this current winless run might only be 12 games, the damage/evidence is actually over the last 20 games which compares almost exactly the same as our points haul in that terrible 09/10 run.

That's how serious this situation is.
