It's not difficult at all. Sadly a large percentage of players arriving at Blundell park were a) excrement on arrival but not recognised by the scout/manager who recommended them or b) were turned into excrement players pretty soon after arrival due to the 'Grimsby Town effect'

Hopefully neither a) or b) will occur now that Holloway is the boss (unless of course the rumour about the kid with the totally unpronouncable name is true)



Kid?? I assume you mean the 27 year-old who has already played for 14 different clubs!

Quoted from golfer
Does anybody know who has come in and who has gone out -  I'm not sure if we have just signed Ron Rafferty or let Duncan Welbourne have a free transfer.  I know it's some sort of illness but at the moment I can't tell Rumour from Reality.


I played for IH when he had hair so I rang his mobile and asked for a trial.

It would be nice once in a while to go to a thread and actually see written opinions that the Title suggests will be posted instead of wasting my time going through several pages trying to find something relating to the thread title.

Should have mentioned my name, I was his barber while I played for him.  He introduced me to Pocock boots.

Isn't Wednesday the players day off? I suspect that IH will do doing some business today if that's the case, so it will probably be announced after lunch.

What time does Steels Corner House close after lunch?

Really interesting interview on the latest NTT20 pod https://soundcloud.com/ntt20pod/weekend-chaos-recruitment-chat-with-blades-analytic about the use of data analytics in recruitment.  Pretty sure that IH isn't a massive convert to data analytics at this point but he (IH) is smart and will hopefully see the benefit that this approach can add to traditional methods.
