Grimsby is a poor investment, certainly in its current guise.
The only people outside of the bubble of Grimsby who would invest are people who have ties with the town.
The town's received bad press recently, with the poor lass who only 14p to her name, and that just adds to the poor reputation from outsiders.
Without someone "actively" going the whole Hogg to sell the club, we are stuck with status quo.
If the board employed a decent marketing company I'm sure they'd make it look like a sound investment and worth putting the millions into that it needs to get it back on a strong footing and a club to be Uber proud of ..
We are slowly becoming the bottom feeders of the league and cannon fodder where other clubs just look at us an easy 3 points!!



All fair comment but why has Macclesfield attracted a buyer? By any masure a tiny club, with a very small fan base, and zero success in all the time I have known football.

If it is all down to being in a more affluent part of the country then we may as well pack in.

Because there isn't a director wanting X amount of millions for his loans back?

Just think, if Shutes didn't have to pay Fenty off he'd have plenty left in the kitty for rainy day fund.

I would say just the land the ground is sat on is why it's worth buying Macclesfield.

And how would it cost to buy the club?.

Whoever buys us it onto a loser straight away as there is 1.75m that is already added on top of the valuation of the club...
It's a noose that will keep tightening and strangling the life out of the club and no investor wants to start in negativity equity

But everyone is moaning about Fenty taking his money out which decreases the negative equity each year.

Let's have a whip round, buy MTFC, close them down, flog off the land and invest the profits in GTFC...

Yes, but by the time he's taken back his cash there will be no club left to sell...

Or he soon won't be able to take back as all the cloth-cutting to accommodate has caused us to sink back into the abyss and beyond.
