Club Statement

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner

I think the new man needs to come in a little sooner than that. Assess what we have (not a bloody lot) and then assess what we need and put plans in place to get those players.

There will be plenty of time for that after the season and knowing what we need is totally different to getting them especially as the new bloke won't know who is available until mid-June anyway (unless of course you think Fenty is going to agree to actually buy players on contract somewhere (rather than sign freebies)

The only advantage to an earlier appointment would be to decide who to try to keep from the present crowd - personally I hope its nobody! After all it won't be like letting Amond, Toto, Arnold and Nolan slip away will it

Quoted from MuddyWaters

Why is the chant 'You don't know what you're doing' in my head?

FFS It doesn't matter what the board say you're always going to criticise them.

They've updated us on the situation and you're still not happy.

Just because the rumours on here/GET were wrong you still somehow blame this on the board.

We just have to be patient and hope they get the right candidate

I would prefer somebody in sooner rather than later, that will give him proper competitive games where he can assess the current squad and keep/ get rid of those he doesn't fancy. As for being relegated, l believe it will go to our final 2/3 games, mainly because Barnet and Chesterfield are worse than us this season.

Not at all - unless it's escaped your attention, we are in freefall and have home games coming up against Port Vale, Chesterfield & Barnet and would quite like us to have a manager before then because Mr Wilkinson doesn't fill me with a great deal of confidence.

By the way, I like the word hope - were you being cynical or sarcastic?

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Maybe they are waiting to see if graham Alexander gets sacked on Saturday?

That would be quite something as things aren't that great over the bridge either. Come next week we could have us, Scunny and Hull manager-less.

Who is to say the rumours are untrue, the statement says no formal offer has been made, that's not to say there hasn't been an approach that could have been turned down.

And do you always believe what this shower of a board say?

Among others, the rumours I read stated that either Brown or Askey is signing tomorrow. Neither of these were true.

I believe an informal approach for Brown was made but the rumours didn't say that. Thats far from saying he's agreed to sign tomorrow

Quoted from forza ivano

a statement saying there'll be no more statements? only gtfc....
(anyway i thought the only statements we made were those on the pitch? )

It’s the PR we do on the pitch forza.

No statements.

Just PR.

There is another advantage - if a new manager is in place then he’s in a better position to quickly snap up any good out of contract players. In the conference especially most players are only on 1 year deals and the best players usually get snapped up pretty quickly. A new manager could even start tapping players up in advance.
