Personally I think to put us on an even playing field with all other teams, the club should instantly dismiss the Covid clause to put everyone on their full contract, and then that will allow Ollie to approach any players without having to try to talk them into an instant 25% pay drop for them to have the 'privelage' of playing for Town.

If the figures quoted above are a ball park figure, then £450k+, plus what we have in the bank, plus the amount the supporters raised, plus Ollies imminent £100k, should put us in the dreamy realms of actually dipping in and BUYING a player or two, rather than relying on the freebies that we seem to rely on.

Let's hope we spend it wisely but knowing our owners it'll not be spent at all and we'll still be blaming Covid in 2023


I desperately want to disagree with you. But I don't.....

But doesn't the covid clause only apply if the season is curtailed?

Not sure how and when it kicks in.

could we buy Messi's left foot for example, or buy Hanson a new groin?

I know what you're saying but before we all touch our caps and kiss the hem of the EPL's frock for their 250m 'bailout', Chelsea paid 120m for Kai Havertz and Timo Werner this transfer window.

It’s a big thank you for all those Sky/BT Sports subscribers. Ultimately that’s where the money comes from. Much of it will have come from people in NEL. So the money has just been recycled back into Grimsby.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Yes but they have got a 70million pound keeper available for a loan or a knock down price.

Any bets they will get less than half their money back if they do manage to sell him.

So according to our friend “lincs Ironman” scunny should be in line for millions for the thousands that haven’t been able to pack glummy park this season. Also is this money just be given away or what strings are attached?
