To get to such an advanced stage he must have fancied it...what made his mind up? Personal finances or team budget?
As has been mentioned, if they don't like the look of things then any potential managers might not fancy relegation to the Conference on their c.v.

Apparently held talks with him a number of times over the last week and he saw our game against Cambridge and has watched footage of our previous games. Was offered the job and looked set to take it but given his concerns about our team and the fact that other jobs are available he decided against.


Up The Mariners!

Sounds like another position has turned his head then..better to find out now that he'd prefer Fleetwood/whoever than later.

Bit depressing really. Not because it's Phil Brown, but because we are not that attractive a prospect. Ah well, Hurst wasn't first choice.

Yeah, but my judgement is clouded where GTFC is concerned. It may not be that attractive to the likes of Phil Brown, but the opportunity is there for someone to come in and get us to really take off. Surely there is someone out there who can see the potential.

10 Years ago, Fleetwood won the northern premier league, finishing 2 points above the mighty Witton Albion

10 Years ago, Grimsby finished mid table in League 2.

A manager has today turned us down, to join Fleetwood....

How times have changed

I’d have liked him to come (at least until the end of the season) but who can blame him for turning the job down.


Grimsby and proud!

This isn’t true. Brown’s agent leaked to Humberside to save face. He’s not got it.

Remember this guy often appears on their show so is chummy with them. It’s a very bad look for him to be overlooked by us after publicly declaring interest.

Time for some on here to wise up.
