Relegation

John Hartson said on

Burnley and Town are the only teams not to win in 2018

I honestly don’t know we are going to win around 5 games to stay up,

Quoted from chaos33

Absolutely this.
As I said elsewhere, the writing has been on the wall for weeks and our incompetent board have ignored it. That writing is now 10 miles high and screaming in Fenty's ear....SACK THEM JOHN for crying out loud.
We have pride and we have standards. What the f*** has happened to the people that run and represent GTFC?!?!

Not a new thing, the club has been managed poorly for over decade now, one person who claims to love the club isn't really up to the big job it seems.

Nice to see some fight from Barnet today - good win (thats when your team scores more goals than the opposition Russ)

Have just done all my POM entries for the rest of the season I have us down to win 4 and draw 3 *- will that be enough?

Where can I find the relegation calculator please?

(* assumes Slade is no longer manager after next Sat)

Mr Fenty already has the unceremonious history of Grimsby Town being relegated through the trap door into none League football.

Will he really want this to be an unsurpassed second relegation to the Football Conference ? I don’t think so. I think there will be an announcement by Monday at the latest, that Russell Slade has had his contract and employment terminated.

I’m actually concerned though that we don’t have the playing personnel to survive the drop. We really do look like a squad as poor as we was last time we got relegated

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Buckley in temporary charge until the end of the season, or until  we find the right man. At least Alan Buckley will get us playing football and put us in with a fighting chance of staying up

Meanwhile, we then need to study the applicants very very carefully.

The paragraph with the bit highlighted in bold contradicts what your saying in the paragraph above, if we don't have the talent then how can we pay the football to keep us up.

The players Salde has assembled in this squad are just not good enough.  

Dear bottom end. I always thought you were a fool. Your last post confirms it. Bucklley was spent,finished,out of touch and outdated on his last spell as manager. How on earth will he improve things now?

100%, absolutely, couldnt agree more, bang on, what he said.......... but.....would spin the question and ask....

How the fck could he do worse ??!!??

Didn't know which thread to put this in but as they all have the same message/ plea/ fear I've put it here.

What really really flipping pisses me off most is signing loan players and I wish the entire loan system could be scrapped.

OK if you just take one or two on loan and they really work for you and make a difference (trying to think of one at Town but apart from the young goalkeeper who copulated off again just as  he was doing the business I am struggling - no doubt others will put forward lots of names) but taking 5 or 6 or even more on loan is a recipe for disaster.

They have even less connection to, or affinity with, the club and town, than the 2 year twits who insist on not moving to the area. They are often here as they can't get a game at their own club - for whatever reason, (too young or simply shite) and they are signed in total panic without any real study of whether they can make a difference and if they do they will likely intercourse off at the end of the loan and not sign permanently even if we wanted them to.

Where is the building for the future Slade spouts out to Fenty when trying to justify his total flipping uselessness? Its all temporary, no youngsters given a chance, Only total duffers getting 2 year contracts, anyone decent being sold or allowed to leave early as they just can't play under the shite system Slade employs (or Slade who knows intercourse all about intercourse all footballwise just doesn't fancy them) leaving us with a bunch of average or poor strangers.

With one or two exceptions can you see this lot going the extra mile to keep us up and Slade in a job?

What we need is, to attract a manager who is out of work that normally we could never afford on a temporary basis until the end of the season. Three month's work for say at least £50k and a £50k bonus for keeping us up. It is that important to stay up and we don't need brinkmanship or hedging our bets at this stage. In that time, by hook or by crook, we need a wholesale change at the club so we don't repeat this season next season and also the temporary manager to help in the process of finding the right permanent manager and overhauling playing side practices around the club and on the training ground..
