Its not a case of being 'happy' with Limbrick (or anyone else for that matter) I think the squad is simply not good enough whoever sits in the manager's chair and a couple of cheap over the hill signings in January (brought in under the guise of 'steadying the ship') with two or three going out (which two or three is a difficult one, there are lots of candidates in fact as Fenty said it will be ;one in one out' could we do 12 or 14 out and 12 or 14 in) - it can't be much worse.
And more importantly its not a case of who we want its more a matter of who is going to want to come to Grimsby Town anyway. A former merchant baker come subbuteo manager maybe or perhaps a six time sacked long in the tooth div 3 or 4 manager or maybe a Vanarama North chap who has won a couple of games?
Not a great prospect are we?
Yes but your quote was it didn't matter who was in charge. Its obvious the squad requires improvement but your stating that the current manager or any incoming one would have no effect at all. Frankly the tired line around who would want the job is quite silly really. |

I don't think we are that unattractive. League two just doesn't attract the well named seasoned managers, it is a learn your professional trade league. We have tried old and experienced, it didnt work out, we have tried young and upcoming and there was teathing problems. Maybe it is time for middle ground, experienced but with a pull factor that will draw in a certain player market. We need a management team not just a single manager. |

Really, you think so? We'll never know who applied of course but you can bet your life that whoever is appointed will be a) another unknown on the cheap or b) another old failure with 10 previous clubs. The list of top quality applicants will probably match our winning run |

At the end of the day Swin, our budget holder will control who we get in...and we all know our budget for a manager is as tight as a ducks rear... Does worry me that eventually our super skinny budget will see our demise and at the moment we can only thank our lucky stars that there's only 1 club leaves this league this year. In fairness our squad isn't that bad, but I don't think it's any better than lower third of the league... We need a manager like Wally Downes if you ask me. |

We will need to thank more than our lucky stars,the way we are playing at the moment it's quite possible that one club could be us.  |

Not sure David Burns would see it as an ambitious appointment. |

Fenty needs to be on the phone to Steve Evans, asking what he wants to take the job!

Clearly that next manager will need to be a character but have an even bigger character to sort this fcuk up out. |
