I'd say it worked well with Danny Collins, players have to start their coaching somewhere and to shoehorn that in with still playing in the football league whilst also learning off a manager like Ollie would be a big draw for someone like Charlie Adam

The word experienced doesn't always mean somebody who are mid 30s, what if there is a 27 year old who has 300 appearances under his belt? That is experience isn't it

Exactly. In his next sentence Ollie mentioned Macca and Luke Hendrie as being experienced so it doesn’t have to be some 34 year old has been, just someone who’s played a couple of hundred league games.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Don’t get why we’re going to lose a million. If we play half our games with a crowd, we’ll get a reasonable turnover and if the Prem subsidises the rest, we’ll be ok. The mood music is a bit too negative for me.


Coz we get 60%(I think) of our income from our home matches, which equates to c.£1.8 million.Looks like the capacity may be 1800, which is less than half our average gate..you've got your million there alone

The problem is that if its someone who has played a couple of hundred league games, those 200 games could be in the lower leagues so might not have any or much talent. Whereas bringing in an experienced midfielder who has played all his career in the upper echelon of the leagues, Rangers, Blackpool, Liverpool, Stoke, and played in Europe, then THAT would be preferable as 'experienced'. He was also signed by Ollie at Blackpool for £500k AND made club captain in their promotion season, and performed so well in the following season when they were relegated again, Liverpool bought him for £6.75 million. Even last season he played 27 games in total in league and cup games for Reading, so his legs must still be up to par.

Quoted from mariners1
Just a thought on the manager’s aim for “an experienced midfielder”. Be careful about the term “experienced” Scott Kerr? John welsh? They were described as “experienced”. If the legs have gone then, sadly, it counts for nothing does it? We need an ‘intelligent” player certainly but I’m a little bit wary about the term ‘experienced’


“If the legs have gone, it counts for nothing”.
