I'm really delighted and excited about tomorrow and the future of GTFC for the first time in ages. The new stadium sounds nearer than previous and we've got a manager who's made a significant financial sacrifice to get on board. Hopefully, our playing staff will be up to the challenge of impressing a new manager who will clearly (because of his shareholding) be less tolerant of those who don't put everything in. But, we have to remember that it's a long time since this team won a game of football.

With that in mind, please don't expect miracles - get behind the lads and don't get down on them.

Ooh matron



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Having watched the Sky Sports interview you can't help but be enthused. The guy is so positive and it is infectious. I believe football is 75% man management and this guy seems gold dust on that front.

No, sorry Old Codger, no room for "reality", we've had too many years of it  , lets at least ride the wave for a while!

When we haven't won a game for ages the expectations are low.  The only way is upwards.  Football is about confidence  for a large part.

Surely if we’re talking about reality then that is that we’re in a relegation fight, haven’t won for weeks, couldn’t hit a cows bottom with a banjo and we have a despot leader...

I mean, people can get excited and rightly so, why shouldn’t they, it’s happened very few times in 20 years...

Just one thing confuses me.
IH has bought a substantial number of shares, but he is only on an 18 month contract.
Listen to the the interview


<'(((((<

When I was a little boy
I asked my daddy what would i be
would I be United, would i be Leeds
Here's what he said to me

Oh Grimsby Grimsby
Whatever will be will be
You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby


Tell me Mam me Mam
I dont want no tea no tea
I'm watching the Grimsby
Tell me Mam me mam

My guess is Fenty has undertaken to buy the shares back from Holloway when he is sacked or resigns in fact its possible Fenty has funded the shares and put them in Holloways name (I really can't see Holloway parting with the cash - he's crazy but not daft) as part of the deal in lieu of a higher salary if you like.
