Why did JT feel the need to cherry-pick one line from a previously published interview? This thread demonstrates the answer- he wanted to cause controversy....and succeeded!

Quoted from HertsGTFC

This will no doubt be an unpopular view but.......People talk about Tondeur like he’s a local treasure & part of the fabric of GTFC when in essence he’s a local radio football commentator who has often proved he can’t ask challenging questions and shrinks when confronted with any push back from a manager.

I detest Burns but he can be like a dog with a bone and Mike White has a good skill of asking open questions, with Tondeur you could get away with answering yes or no to most of his.


Holloway did a good job of diverting attention away from what was an abject performance based upon a poor team selection and failure on his part to respond quickly when they where pretty much walking through us.

There was nobody in our mid field yesterday who can win the ball and give it to the likes of Edwards. The shape was completely wrong and didn’t set up to put any of their defenders under pressure the lad they had playing on the left of their back 3 needed to be pulled around a bit and run at 4-3-3 is a waste of time with this set of players.

The players look paralysed by fear, short on confidence and unsure of what they are meant to be doing. They did things yesterday that you’d expect 7th tier players to do. The Saturday/Tuesday rotational selection approach would always be difficult at this level and with such poor quality.

There is so much fundamentally wrong but the managers post match guile and experience has got us all talking about an interview rather than a team that currently looks like relegation fodder.

Tranmere stitched us up yesterday Holloway did that to Tondeur.

So where exactly was IH supposed to have said this, because I listened to the after match interview and he certainly did NOT say it there.

Quoted from NorthseaMariner

Look yesterday we were hopeless, by all accounts, and we haven’t pulled any trees up this season. But if Ollie goes, who is going to jump at the chance of taking over unfashionable Grimsby, near the bottom of the football pyramid, no money, not a great squad of players apparently.

Yes I can see all the top managers quickly getting their C.V.s ready For gods sake, wake up and smell the coffee. Hopefully he can turn it around, if not well?

Not so long ago there was take-over rumours, a new stadium to be built somewhere near and no nothing. Most of the staff at Blundell Park are still furloughed. The players have Covid clauses in their contracts and we don’t have a real Sugar Daddy.

Looks to me, the clubs not far from going out of business. So good luck getting that brilliant manager in.

End of rant.

I'm not advocating IH should leave but you have come up with that same old bull excrement comment, who would we get. As far as I can remember IH is the only "top manager" we have ever employed even Bill Shankly wouldn't have been a top manager when we employed him and Lawrie McMenemy had just been sacked by Doncaster Rovers. There would be plenty of managers employed or not gagging to work at GTFC, many I would think who are doing sterling jobs in Non League a bit like Alan Buckley for example, remember him?

Quoted from Ipswin

He's looking for an excuse to go,

'it's the fans fault, I really liked it there but they didn't love me so I had no choice'.

and I thought he was someone who would stick it out whatever
