A good honest interview, we all knew it was close but a three-year deal. settled family and the feel-good Jolly factor swung the balance.

If we had gone down it would have been a different story but things look a lot clearer and more promising now.

Level headed young man.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

A couple of times, ibn this interview and the one on I follow, he mentioned 'sitting down with John'.

Credit to 'John' for making it happen.

Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam

Which one. John or Macca ?? 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

This has probably changed my mind over a season ticket too!

Interesting that Macca sat down with John. I though at this level the manager is given his budget and negotiates with the players within these boundaries? He would then have to get things rubber stamped.

If non footballing management are involved shouldn't that be the CEO?

I'm not sure how it works at other clubs by I do know several weeks ago, Jolley gave John his 'A List' of player targets and as far as I know it was left to John to contact agents and negotiate finances.

We won't sign any of them then, Fenty will do all he can to penny pinch with wages.

I'd imagine that the draw of Fenty's legendary barbecues must have been too much for McKeown to resist.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was JF that encouraged him to stay with the offer of security and a testimonial 🤔

Level headed young man.


There's some sad wan kers around. Why would you red cross that statement?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Fair play to John for getting this right.

Maybe because he threw all his toys out when  young loanee stopped him getting back into the team. Hardly level headed. I think he is a liability who will cuase problems in the future

Hardly threw his toys out of the pram. In what way is he a liability?

I wouldn't say he threw his toys out the pram at all....if you liste.n to him he genuinely thought he'd never be first choice again and wanted to play football, therefore he had to do what was best for his career at that time....and again, he also admitted he was hasty with his decision to put in a transfer request but it was right for him to do so at the time....ask yourself why he signed this contract, for me it was he knows that while he's here he'll be first on the team sheet and ultimately he loves this club , the fans and the town...so level headed?..Absolutely

All of us make decisions we believe are correct at the time. Sometimes n time,it turns out that the decision is incorrect.

Jimmy Mac is no different to any of us in that respect
