Problem with Phil Brown is that he will be looking over his shoulder all of the time at the likes of bigger prospects in a higher league, and in doing so will have only one eye on the ball


It could work both ways he could try and achieve with GTFC to get a step up.

The big question is could Brown get on with Fenty, ?

My thoughts are we would be looking for our 5th manager in 2years by the end of the season.

Problem is with the budget at the club   . We are a mid table lg2 club as it stands , nothing more nothing less . Unless we can get a manager to get the players to over achieve we are going to stagnate untill that season when we go down again . This appointment is as big as it gets imo . Let's now get behind the team and hope this isn't the season we go down ...... the manager needs the full backing of all attending fans from the get go . Let's forget about fenty and co for this season and put all our engery into staying up .  The fans are the club , the club is the town . The town is Great Grimsby .

At the end of the day if he's poached by a bigger club it means he's done a good job so that's fine with me. The gimps are kidding themselves if they think the Cowley's won't jump at the first sign of a lucrative offer.

Indeed. They have only to ask the Braintree fans.

Why is it? If we can afford to carry the massive squad we had last season and this, then all it takes is someone who can manage the budget much better, with a smaller, leaner squad of higher quality players. Any new manager will have plenty of scope to do this at the end of the season, given that we will have very few players left on contract in the summer. This was obviously what Slade was working toward and all he had to do to get there was win a game now and again.

Plenty of sides with smaller gates than us are outperforming us easily. Even with the low crowds we have had this season, we are still getting bigger crowds than some of the teams well above us. One thing you can't aim at the board is them not backing managers in signing players. Trouble is we have about ten too many, and they are all much of a muchness. This club is a great opportunity for any manager than can get it right. The fans are there waiting for someone we can get behind.

The crowds we get cover the bill's .... in guessing these smaller clubs are getting regular investment

Or using their money more wisely. Imagine how many fans would come through our turnstiles if we were playing like Crawley, scoring goals for fun and winning almost every week. Without the Town fans on Saturday, they would have had less than 2000 in the crowd. If we can't compete with them, we may as well give up now.

The right Manager brought in or one who captures the imagination of the fans will get unwavering support at the start were flipping desperate for someone to get behind. Let`s say it`s Wilko for arguments sake and he wins 6 of the last games playing good football the right bloke will get gates in excess of 5k here no problem.Those gates in Lg 2 terms are very good like others say lets have a small quality squad with a few youth players and a couple of loaness to take us to around 25 players total.I really want to see a local lad come through and make the team and what better way than with another local lad picking him.C`mon Wilko and Moore make the job yours.UTM
