the big sticking point will be his wages. am sure he was very well paid at chesterfield (and presumably County), and can't believe he'd take a cut right down to a Fenty approved level

If it’s a loan though, we may only be paying part. Strong source told me Pringles total wage was in excess of 6k a week !!!

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' |

He is a Championship player so not surprised. JF on record saying he was on high wage but obviously we were only contributing a small percentage towards that.

sorry, i didn't mean the loan, rather if he was viewed as being 'on trial' as Wes' replacement next season

If he was doing well here already, wanted to stay, and jolley didnt think we needed any major incomings elsewhere, thats probably the safest time to splash out

The clamour for signings can never be satisfied. The rumour mill is of course interesting if at times a little tedious.It is difficult at times to balance common sense, with our hopes and expectations especially when we know little of the realities.
MJ has had some players put on 2/3 year contracts, he appears to clearly be looking a little longer term. Some signed on 1 year contracts could have been for many different reasons - a need to prove themselves, a misses who wanted to see if she wanted to move to the area ( clearly Fox’s wife preferred the States to Cleethorpes, for whatever reason, good or bad ), because of our doubts to see if a player would blend in with the squad - a loan period is exactly the correct route. It is even possible that a player has not been waiting their entire life to sign for The Mighty Mariners and themselves want to ‘try before they buy’. The potential scenarios are limitless.
Whatever the reasons we have signed permanently or on loan, whatever the reason we have let go permanently or on loan, I think MJ has done good business this window - one potential legend and 3 that give cause for optimism plus Hendrie ! Quality over quantity.
This season we can dream, next season I expect (cautiously). In M.J. I trust. I am also aware if all goes as well as we would all hope the vultures will quickly gather. I noticed recently for what ever the job was, M.J. was the 20/1 outsider - he is already on the radar.

I fail to see the point in getting a loan signing. 16 games left. If we average 2 points a game (promotion form) that puts us on 69 points, probably not enough for a play off spot based on previous seasons. If we average 1 point per game (relegation form) that puts us on 53 points, enough not to go down. We need to be playing those that will be here next season.
a) we could still go up or down with a good or bad run b) strikers are hard enough to come back I doubt we have been fighting off 20 goals a season scorers who want 2.5 year deals I'd rather get someone here and let them see what we have. Grimsby is a traditional club, a special club, the fans are more passionate than at most sides, but you might not realise that straight away. Get them in the door and they might like the look of it, get some hero worship, see the local property prices, the nice areas to live, and you never know they might want to keep the black and white shirt for a bit.

I would imagine we could sign him on a permanent deal,
IF Notts go down and if he enjoys his stay here.

Bound to be a big comedown on his wage for Family Fortunes as well.
