Ollie's post match interview (merged)

Quoted from 28195

Covid has been a leveler, the gaffer has managed 900+ games and in the current circumstances this counts for little. He needs supporters behind him, perhaps the players need this to spark a performance.

I’m sure he had big plans for us but life is a bumber now, with people dying and loved ones separated by pandemic rules.

The gaffer is a footy legend, let’s get through this together, Operation Survival - ❤️ GTFC

Role on Tuesday.

Which role are you going for? Good luck with it anyway.

I've got bad news by the way. Covid is affecting the whole world not just Grimsby Town FC.

He never had it

Came with an old worn out reputation hoping his name would see him through with no idea whatsoever how to manage a team near the foot of Div 4 on the bones of its bottom financially but with a desire to create a 'legacy'.

intercourse knows what he meant but the legacy he is currently creating is very bad news for GTFC


You're still a nasty spiteful old man

Maybe, but a truthful one

Quoted from 3610

You think it’s tosh cos the board weren’t ‘brave’ enough to gamble on the hope of a bailout anywhere. Get a grip. We were excrement today. Proper excrement. But no way would I ever want a board gamble or be brave in the hope of a BAILOUT to survive. For me..... that is the worse type of board we could ever wish for.

You’re totally naive if you think there was never going to be money filtered down from the Prem. It was never going to be a gamble as the country wouldn’t let dozens of clubs go pop. The board showed, not for the first time, a total lack of foresight.

Very touchy from Ollie over JT asking some perfectly valid questions, obvious ones like covid having happened to everybody else not just us. Which demonstrates he knows he is on a sticky wicket and we have mishandled it.

Really worrying was he said Tranmere played in a completely different way to what he'd been told by his scout "they went and played in a diamond". Well bolland at the beginning of the commentary said that Tranmere played a diamond last game and it went really well. If we are getting fundamental scouting stuff wrong that casual viewers can see that is very concerning indeed. Anyway surely all games are videoed and we should have been able to see It?

Yes in the end they would be pushed into it ...... but how much and when and what strings? The PL prattling about with pay for view is a good indication that the clubs intend to screw every single penny they can from any source and intend to use other people’s troubles to feed their own ambitions. I have no time for the PL.

That doesn’t mean the Town board is blameless, just very conservative in dealing with money.

Totally out of his depth and he doesn't have the BP crowd to put up with. The main stand behind him gives him much worse stick than JT.

It was also interesting that Paul Bolland said in the build up that he’d seen Tranmere a couple of times recently and they play a diamond in the middle. Ollie said that we didn’t know this as he’d been told they play a different way, not sure he should be sharing that incompetence on the airwaves.

I agreed with you first time 😜

Cheers mate  

Seems to me like there’s someone at BP with an axe to grind against Humberside who’s been dripping poison in managers’ ears for years. Slade infamously attacked Matt Dean at the fans’ forum, Jolley lost his marbles and now Holloway thinks he’s justified in talking to JT (a fan) like something he scraped off his shoe for not swallowing his latest line of bullsh1t.

Christ knows what they’d be like if they got some actual criticism - I remember listening to Burns absolutely smoking Grant McCann and some Hull players last year, I almost felt bad for them!

Humberside are there to report objectively, not act as the club’s propaganda station. They can’t help it if they have to say the team are shyte when they’ve just been leathered 5-0!
