I was in the stand in utter disbelief that the man causing our problems was being paraded as a hero. He's still here and making the same mistakes that took us out the league the first time.

I’m such an attention seeker that I’ve brought this back to everyone’s attention if that makes sense .

Tell me i am wrong but didn’t the board say we will be quality signings when Slade was in charge ? Maybe MJ will get the better players in for good value for money, you never know he might turn to overseas players


We're on our way back, we’ll was now on our way back to non league 👍🏻

I sit in the main stand and often hear one big loud-mouthed goon above all others that goon on the board.

Next season I will be moving away from the mouth of the Humber.

Sits there giving it big to the opposition managers if only he could hear his own voice or maybe that is the problem arrogant prat.

If we had to get rid of our best players in January, it only goes to show that there isn't enough investment or forward thinking in the boardroom. First instinct always is to cut costs rather than explore how to increase income or investment to accommodate the cost of talent we need to move forward. It is a fact that GTFC can only have successful seasons in non league when the cloth is cut to JF's pocket or methodology, and even then it's down to having one of the largest incomes based on fan contribution. Half the clubs in League One operate on gates of less than 5k, never mind all but a handful in League Two. The club is bankrupt of cash and bankrupt of ideas to effect a radical change. Part of me still thinks that JF doesn't want to get out as much as he protests. Hopefully over time MJ will completely refresh the playing side. To build on this exciting appointment, I hope the board don't sit on their laurels and press ahead as promised to address the shortcomings of the club on the non playing side..

Yeah but we really showed Bournemouth that day. How to survive, learn lessons, bond together and move onto bigger, better things. Where are they now eh?

It feels to me like the decision has been made that there will be no further investment. We don't seem to have the budget you'd expect for a club who sold a player for £1million just over a year ago. At a guess was a decision made in Jan to cut costs to attempt to break even on the basis of dwindling attendances and no cup runs? Would explain the reticence to sack Slade and perhaps driven by a false perception of safety.

It'll be interesting to see how much money is taken out by directors this season...

I don't think there will be much to take will there? No Wembley, negligible player sales income, no cup runs, dwindling attendances. I wonder if it's more a case of not having to prop up a loss and see loans increase?
