Does this mean the bookies will open up again and give us some fresh meat to dissect, champion and dismiss?

Really?

He's only been out of work for a few weeks.
GTFC is hardly a fantastic prospect and the money offered was probably crap for what was expected .
Chances are he thought Fenty was an idiot.
His missus has probably had her fill of second rate seaside resorts over the last five years or so
He must surely have his sights set higher than BP

Problem is it makes whoever gets it second choice (or maybe even third or fourth depending on who else tells us to intercourse off)

Sums this club up in the eyes of the football world I think - look out for some totally unknown from the Ryman league to come in on £25 a week


I wish i had your sunny disposition.  

Maybe we just wanted him short term to see how it went until the end of the season. The GTFC job is still a good gig for someone and we don't know why he turned us down do we?

Well Bentley and I were half right in the sense of us wanting Brown. My understanding was that we held advanced discussions with him and it was all but a done deal. I guess the Fleetwood job changed things. Back to the drawing board, but won’t be Askey apparently.

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 ...

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

This is part of the problem. Better jobs come up all the time. And who would work with Fenty unless they had to...

If we only wanted him short term then I'm not surprised he said no, what would be the point unless Fenty offered him a fortune other than that I can think of lots of reasons he turned us down and why others will too.

Unless they have been unemployed for so long they are losing their houses or they fancy a step up from managing in the Lindsey Sunday League then Grimsby Town is definitely NOT a good gig for anyone at the moment

John Sheridan until the end of the season and take it from there. History suggests he’d keep us up as that’s what he’s built his management career on doing.

We can then make a decision on a long term manager after the season has finished be it Sheridan staying on or bringing in somebody else.

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. John Sheridan is ideal for that job.

Unfortunately one of the best 'keeper uppers of lost causes' is currently busy managing Cardiff
