It amazes me that criticism of MJ is creeping into this thread.  He has inherited a demoralised squad stripped of most of its most creative players during the transfer window and also with injuries to some players who might help turn things around.

MJ is in no way shape or form to blame for any of this, he should have full backing from every fan until his own team is installed and the crap we have is gone.

Main people to blame are as follows - Slade.  Clarke,  All the midfield barring Mcallister , All the attack. The rest aint too bad.

Main people to blame are Fenty, Marley, Chapman & Day. They appointed Slade when we were doing OK.

Don't forget Jon Wood, he's also on the board.

He still needs to show he can improve us on the pitch and stop us going down with a whimper.

I do hope that he is being paid; if not, the club is hardly valuing what he's trying to do. Being an astute businessman, which he presumably is with his commercial background, he must have a Plan B for if we do go down, and would/should have obtained from the board promises of enough funds to mount a decent challenge next season to come back straight away. Having said that, we all know how hard it is to get out of that accursed league. There was a good piece in the Yorkshire Post one day last week about MJ (not, I must emphasise, that I'm from Yorkshire).

Don't forget Jon Wood, he's also powerless on the board.


So?

So surely he needs to take some blame for appointing Slade? And before you say he doesn't have much power on the board, well you named day and Chapman and how do we know they are not powerless? Even Marley could be powerless if it's Fenty who always gets his own way!

I think MJ has a massive job with a “to do” list as follows,

1. Get a set of players to believe they can score goals
2. Actually score the goals
3. Stop us conceding goals
4. Win 3 games and draw 1, all this with only 6 games left
5. Re the above 2 of them need to be against our relegation rivals
6. Get rid of the 2 year deal dead wood, Woolford, Hooper, Dixon etc..
7. Agree a workable budget with JF and the other members of the “gang of 4” - good luck!
8. Retain Macca and arguably Summers
9. Identify a blend of players to stop us getting relegated again - regardless of which league we sit in
10. Persuade said players to move to within 1 hour of Grimsby
11. Ideally get everyone in place before the last 10 minutes of the transfer window
12. Get them all through a pre season
13. Get them playing with the ball on the ground
14. Scores some goals
15. Win some games

I’m sure there’s more!
