H.... we're not miserable buggers at all, we'd all love this to happen but how many times can we read...
I've been told this, I've heard that, it's come from someone in the know..ect, ect, ect....
Until we have substantiated proof and JSF actually signing a contract of change of ownership, I will remain cautious of any rumour or hearsay....no dig at you, just want my club to be riding high again before they put the lid on my wooden box...

Too much hope, too little action. I’m not a naturally miserable person but you don’t need to be Einstein to work out that John Fenty won’t go without getting most of his money back.

Heard the same last Friday, and heard it wasn't John Fenty / board doing the firing this time. I wanted Jolley out, but I must admit I was surprised by the timing, would explain a lot. But you'd have thought the new owner would have come in, and the first order of business would have been to sack the manager?

Meant to be an Arab consortium
Jolley got sacked because they wanted someone else
They would like Fowler.

Not necessarily. If and a very big if, there's anything in this, then it's quite a cute bit of business to have the existing owner doing the dirty work before you take over.

Maybe there's something about MJ's past that totally disqualifies him from managing the club under their stewardship?

I posted previously that I didn't believe the connection between the takeover and the sacking as ross\ shutes are not interested in football, but my wife made the interesting observation that given they are all about the community and regeneration image is very important.and therefore they knew about the tape and didn't want to start off with this controversy, they would want a clean slate and no reputational damage

Or maybe, whoever is supposedly taking over, just don't think he is a very good manager given that there is little evidence to suggest he is.

We’re losing most weeks playing really badly at the wrong end of tier 4 , if we had been winning and top of the league MJ could have come out as a transgender broccoli and no one would have give a shitt.  Releasing that audio whoever did it proper muggy

Wonder if this explains the (welcome ) return of Dave Roberts to the board with a specific focus on fan engagement?

I did think it came slightly out of the blue and we all know the club have absolutely no interest in engaging fans in any meaningful sense.

Probably a case of wishful thinking, mind.

But the point is they don't know anything about football and are not interested in it. I said previously that I think the first thing they'd do is to appoint a chief executive to deal with the football side and they can get in with the important stuff

You're assuming the takeover would be Shutes/Ross. Nobody has said as much and there were suggestions that there was another interested party.

The reality is this unless you're going to get a load of regeneration money for a move or you're a Town mad lottery winner  why would you invest in GTFC?  

People don't take on what is currently a massive debacle of a football club just "to give something back".

Said on a previous thread that I was told back in September that another interested party were interested in buying the club with £5M mentioned. This information came directly from a current Director so I think there is some substance to what Hagrid has posted, let’s hope so.

I would have thought that the language Jolley was using would make him totally understandable and would fit in well with the East and West Marsh GTFC supporters

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56
Said on a previous thread that I was told back in September that another interested party were interested in buying the club with £5M mentioned. This information came directly from a current Director so I think there is some substance to what Hagrid has posted, let’s hope so.


It wouldn't cost £5M to buy the club, you only need enough shares to get a controlling interest. If the person buys it direct from JF and pays him all his loans back, it'll only cost about £3M at the most.

Maybe he or she is planning of giving the new manager  £2 million  for new players

Jolley will be the England manager before the Takeover ever happens.

Giving youth a chance?


Made my night     


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Probably not Hagrid's fault on this one. He’s probably heard it from someone who in turn heard it from someone else who heard it from someone who completely made it up. He’s only sharing it with people with a common interest who he thought might be interested.

You know what I think Hagrid. They are a F****g bunch of F*****g negative F*****g arrogant F*****s.  Never anything positive just F******g negativity again.  They need to do their F****g research and grow some F******g balls.  F****g patronising, that's all they F******g are.  You could be on a F*******g site from Braintree or F*****g Boreham F*****g Wood. They are just a F*****g disgrace to messageboards.


Was thinking of applying for the managers job.  Do I qualify ?????


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'

I probably shouldn't be saying this as I could very well get my source in trouble, but I just think it's only fair for everyone to know who is the other party involved is.

As far as I know, he is a Nigerian prince called "woda lodabulock" (Don't hold me to the actual spelling) and he's promised Fenty 5 million, a pack of twiglets, a new turtleneck, premium bonds and in return, he wants Fenty to send him £100 and his shares in the club.

hmmm....but will the third one actually be a prequel ?  The backstory of how Young John Fenty was guided by a strange withered old sage before finally taking control of an ailing football club and leading it to victory against the dark digital forces of ITV.

Don't know how true but read it on the bell end journal this afternoon-concerns K-ty Pri-e and her column in the Times-quote " I've had experiences to last a lifetime,big or small,red or black but my ambition is to have a football team-one that I can call my own "  Could this be who Hagrid is referring to.
