Apart from Blackpool I'm not sure what he's actually done as a Manager, certainly a character but he's not worked as a manager for a while which might tell you something.......... is RH interviews would be worth a listen.

Matt Dean has just said that "the club are giving Anthony Limbrick a chance to earn the job" at what cost I wonder....?  


Did a decent job at Bristol Rovers. Went to QPR and got them back in the Championship. Did quite well at Plymouth in Championship. Left to take over at Leicester and failed to keep them in Championship. Went to Blackpool and took them to Premier League and lost another play-off final to take them back up. Moved on to Crystal Palace and took them straight up to the Premier League. Had an indifferent spell at Millwall and was sacked. Then went back to QPR and did okay until he was sacked in May 2018.

He likes his teams to play good attacking football. Blackpool didn't win that many premier league games but won a lot of admires with the way they played the game.

I hope we can get him, at least we might see some football breaking out at Blundell Park.

Hugely respected and a proven winner. If he’s available and interested would be a huge own goal if he’s not appointed.

Expect AL to be announced tomorrow...

He has said he is in talks with a club at present, so it could possibly be us. His stock isn't very high at the moment, so as Golly intimates, he needs to get back on the ladder. Wouldn't be a dull moment if he does get the job.


For Ollie it's 02:45 and the night club is emptying. The only girl (GTFC) left in the club are a right minger, but that's his only option...

So apart from all that, what has he done to earn the right to lead the mighty Mariners.

TBH, I knew he'd been at a few clubs but actually that's relatively positive, at the moment we need more than Limbrick who's clearly trying to change things but I feel a newcomer would breath some life in the place, Holloway is certainly a character for sure.

Fenty is always moaning that they can only spend 50% of turnover on non-exempted player wages, so why not spend a bit extra on a proven manager?

Probably got his beer goggles on by now then.

Good analogy by the way.
