well...

its either our fault because Phil read the fishy and a small vocal minority were negative and ridiculed his fake tan making him feel unwelcome ...

or

the breakfast in Browns Cafe clearly wasn't upto standard..


As a regular patron of that fine establishment, I can only conclude it must be 1st option 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Agreed. The breakfast with Scallops is a thing of beauty.

I keep hearing/seeing that we need a young, hungry, progressive manager. We don’t. We need someone who will ensure we stay in League Two in the short term.


Agreed. We need someone who can motivate and organise what he's been left. A five year plan for the training ground or whatever doesn't matter until May.

Brown declared intrest in the job, when i first read he turned us down i thought maybe it was the fact there is no money, no ambition dated stadium and training ground youth lads don't get a look in poor team of players mostly all free and best players moved on who should have been kept.

A new manager that's not Wilkinson will just release has many as possible so they can rebuild. Where Wilkinson might do a Newell and keep give the deadwood another year like Newell did with Boshell and Clarke, I do hope a manager who comes in retains Summerfield he worth a new contract in my opinion.

I'm suprised Brown turned us down to be honest maybe a late call from Fleetwood who have more going for them then Grimsby if i had no ties to the club i would probably choose a team in a higher division then us.

Disappointing news but there are still decent potential appointments out there. If we can tempt Uwe Rosler then go for it. Win percentage consistently above 40% (the only exception being under Cellino)

Brown is still on holiday. Hasn’t applied and hasn’t been interviewed.


Not true.

I was recently talking to Fenty via PM and I suggested Uwe Rosler but he instantly turned it down and said his win percentage isn't much better than Slade.

But is more recent. Win percentage doesn't tell you everything, even if it is a good indicator. Sir Alan's is 38% for instance over his career.

Not true.


Convenient that he “turns it down” when we’re so close to appointing. It’s a bad look to be turned down by us so suits him to say he has “turned it down”.

I understand he applied informally through an agent but hasn’t been interviewed nor was he seriously considered.
