Basically everyone mentioned has been discounted which means that if any of these are manager they could well be on a loser fan wise . Let’s give over guessing and do what we do best , play football manager

I’m edging towards Robbie Stockdale. He knows the club and what it means to the fans but has been away from the club for long enough to be disconnected from the current regime. He seems to have a good reputation in football but I have to confess that I don’t actually know what he’s achieved statistically. Wasn’t he in charge of the youth team at Sunderland? He’s coached alongside a lot of managers there who all seemed happy to keep him on but they have plummeted as a club.

There have been a few youth lads come through the ranks at Sunderland recently, with the likes of Jordan Pickford, Duncan Watmore and Josh Maja doing well. I guess Robbie has had a helping hand in that, and I’m liking the idea of him coming in and being given the time to assemble a young, exciting squad with the potential to develop, rather than a Phil Brown type coming in and signing older players who he’s worked with before.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Why all the fuss around Robbie Stockdale? He wouldn't even be mentioned if he hadn't played for us.

Phil Brown for me if we are going experienced he has promotion from this league and and did well at hull.

If we are going up and coming then the bloke at Boston is a good shout .

No chance of getting Steve Evans now


Home games would be interesting he spends most of his time in the stands when he's at Blundell park.

Do you think I stand a chance ?

I played for the juniors in the early 60's and I know the club inside out.

Fenty's interview implied that a few have applied who are with other clubs
He said about "approaching those clubs in the right way etc".

Good interview to be fair and explains why we go for 6 month rolling contracts

99% of those applying will be desperate to get into management or see GTFC as a step up so the length of the contract won't put them off

If we go experience I'd take Phil Brown

If we go up and coming I'd take a punt with the lad at Boston

Roll of a dice to be honest - the Cowley appt at Lincoln was a huge risk but worked out well; but several other appts of this type have gone very wrong

What we don;t need is another off the merry go round who has had years of failure and moves from job to job

Quoted from LocalLadGTFC


How on earth is Phil Brown anything like Slade? Slade was coming off the back of failure at multiple clubs... Brown has been somewhat successful in previous years


Have you watched any of Phil Brown's teams play? Old fashioned hoof ball what Slade got destroyed for. I know a few Southend fans who were glad he was gone....
As for fairly successful do you class his time at Southend as successful or are you going off his time with Hull?

If Fenty thought Bignot was a fruit loop. He's in for a fruity time with Brown.

Luke Garrard from Boreham Wood with a good experienced assistant who has knowledge of the game. Probably won't happen but ah well, I'd be happy with it.

John Askey from Macc Town maybe, I know they've had problems paying wages recently so wouldn't say it's impossible but maybe not likely.

Neil Redfearn or Stuart McCall would be the 2 that would would be would be top of my list to come.

Phil Brown is basically the same kind of manager as Slade. And the fact he's already threw his hat in the ring smells of looking for an easy payday as Slade did.


Redfearns overall win percentage as a manager is 26%
