All creditability has disappeared

There is no way that farage hiring a room is going to put off potential managers. It was not a smart move but no candidate will give two hoots. As for the recording it actually exonerates the club a bit. It shows Jolley was sacked because he couldn't deal with the pressure more than for results. Anybody that thinks they can't deal with the pressure shouldn't apply.

If the Brexit party had rented the Memorial Hall would that have stopped anyone from going there again, or buying it should it be for sale?
Never heard such a bunch of drama queens for goodness sake

Given the comments made about what all managers have apparently said it also evidently says to prospective managers:

The club has a meagre budget
The club is shrouded in negativity
The club is going nowhere in football terms
There’s no such thing as ‘off the record’

It was hardly great PR though Rob and coupled with the leaking of Jolleys tirade, mainly the part how cr@p our budget is, has done nothing but show the club in a poor light ...
I work in an industry where 1 bad review/complaint by a client can ruin my firms reputation and have any new, prospective clients going straight to my competitors...
As in football, the recent events at GTFC will make any investor think twice right now and rebuilding the clubs reputation is very difficult and can be a long road to recovery....
Anybody looking from the outside in will question what they're getting involved in, so yes, any potential new manager will now have second thoughts....
Ask yourself why investors swerved Bury FC?...all down to the poor reputation of their Chairman/owner...no reference to our own in that statement as in fairness, for all of JSF faults at least we still have a club to go support, it just shows how reputation affect's investment...

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Surprisingly in football whatever is going on off the field win three games on the bounce and fans start coming back, always been that way and always will be. Maybe the club may not attract quite as many but it doesn’t take much for3000 to become 5000 when results are positive.

Rumours that a sale is once again imminent have reappeared and maybe just maybe this time it may get over the line. Let’s hope so as this low playing budget is not helping our cause and will certainly not help us recruit the calibre of manager required.

Have they?

Quoted from sam gy

The Farage fiasco has left a sick taste in my mouth, and what with all this crap now...one step forward, five steps back.

I’ll be highly surprised if we get any decent performances anytime soon from the players, imagine they’re feeling pretty flat and lost right now. They’ve been sold down the river as much as we have.

The Farage "fiasco" is a confected outrage by people who don't agree with him, including you it seems.

Grimsby voted for Brexit, many people will support the Brexit party (the event itself was a sell out) so it may have left you with a sick taste in your mouth but you may well be in the minority.

A Tory councillor owns the club; I ahve not heard one person ever say he is not going to BP because I don't agree with the owners political views.

There is plenty wrong at BP, but hiring out one of its main income streams available to anyone is not one of them.

Quoted from Mariner Timsky

One thing will never change is US the fans - this is our club and our Town - nobody NOBODY will change that - let’s stick by our club and get to if not Newport then Northampton and be loud and proud and support GRIMSBY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB - no manager or board member should ever change that and stop our support for our club

ALL TOWN ARENT WE???

A very good shout Tim, will you be there to meet us for a pre match pint at Northampton? Sixfields Tavern......

Farage at BP wasn't a fiasco, it was a sell out and full of people who wanted him there, none of the Drama Queens / cry baby remoaners went to challenge Nige did they, no, they just wet their knickers and whined about it on social media, boo hoo, I'm so hurt and offended

Well Nige had a great night and now thinks the people of Grimsby love him and want Brexit so well done for staying away remoaners and cry babies, he doesn't read the Grimsby telegraph or fishy so you remoaners have lost again  

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Well, with the Farage f@ck up and now the Jolley tirade any creditability this club may have had has now gone round the U bend quicker than Hamilton round Silverstone!!..
Surely any potential investor or manager will give us a wider birth than Bella Hendbergs backside!!..
The lights have gone out at GTFC now and it's going to be a tough job for any person to clear the muddy waters that are around our once great, historical club right now

In over 50 years I have seen some excrement managers, excrement directors, absolute excrement football, but it won't stop me going, it's in the blood.

I didn't start the thread to question the loyalty of the fans...we have the greatest, most loyal and faithful fans..I'm one if those and will not stop going because the clubs in the dirt....
All I am saying, and certainly now the nationals are reporting on MJs tirade, that attracting investment, staff, managers has now been made that little bit harder...
Or you could say, no publicity is bad publicity, make of it what you will..
