True, but show me how we are now better off without him? Seriously show me the improvement? Is it the toilets in between the lower and findus that leak in the rain? Is it the pint that cots me £1 more than what I paid in Dagenham today? Is it the super deluxe hotdogs that cost nearly a tenner? Is it the 25 minute queue for a coffee at half time only to be told they had no coffee? Is it the shiny transparent barrier in the upper? Is it the six losses out of 7 games in the national league? Is it having a chairman whose main past time seems to be sharing his opinions in the Guardian?

I’m with you in several ways. Not enthused by the “I’ll change football “ articles. I want him to concentrate on Grimsby Town first and foremost. Then he can change football, reverse Brexit, whatever.

It’s not Championship Manager (or whatever it’s called now). You can’t just sign Tonton Zola Moukoko for £50.00 and run several teams simultaneously (unless you’re owned by Red Bull, City or Abramobitch) to win the Champions League in 5 years. It will take a generation to judge the success or failure of Project StockPet. Just as it took a generation to finally agree that you know who was a cünt.

Some people don’t seem to get (despite all those years we spent down here) that there are some well established teams, big and small. It’s taken Chesterfield a few years to regroup/rebuild and the same for Notts County (amongst others).
I never ever felt that we would return at the first attempt and it was a big ask for Hurst to get everything right in the summer transfer period (rather than window as we obviously don’t have one).
Let’s keep calm and see where the season takes us. I fear a change of manager after an overhaul in the summer will simply lead to another one, and will set us back years in the quest to get out of this league.

Are you taking the urine? Genuinely, whatever happens on the pitch we are so much better off with Stockwood and Petit than Fenty. You are being selective with your examples. I'd say 3 things which are huge examples of how much things have improved: 1. The communication with fans. Open, on various platforms (Humberside, DN35 podcast, at the games, OS) 2. The apprenticeship/training opportunity in data with a job guarantee for ppl from North East Lincs who complete it. Can anyone imagine Fenty doing that?! 3. The exagerrated 'pricey' (its not, its just better quality) food and drinks at games also come with the Family Fanzone, one of the most innovative and enjoyable additions to BP I can remember 4. We're applying to be a b-corp. Statement of intent to make the club more about community and social good. Fair enough, get disgruntled with Hurst - I disagree but that's fine. But starting to turn on the new owners?! intercourse me, football fans beggar belief at times.

Communication with the fans has reduced dramatically in the last few weeks. The apprentice positions are laudable but not really relevant to football. Got several vouchers to use in the Fanzone with our season tickets but has been full every time we tried to use them. B Corp? What’s the point for a non league football club?

Many people on here say they are not football fans. They watch nothing but Town (or possibly England). That’s fine. I have no problem with that. Yet, it’s usually the same people who are obsessed with results and attendances. Surely, if your support of GTFC is driven by your love of Grimsby / Cleethorpes, you would back owners who supported regeneration, community spirit and improvements to the region. Grimsby Town will never rise beyond the Championship (and even that level feels like passing a sapphire in a stool at the moment). It has to be about pride and identity. You have more chance of achieving it off-the-pitch than on it.

I think the thing that worries most Town fans in the middle of this current slump is that PH seems to be reverting to type, gone are the relaxed, amiable, positive mindsets he seemed to possess in the early season to the slightly defensive, neurotic,worry about the opposition,tinkering with team/tactics, we have witnessed before. I am not saying he cannot turn things around, I hope he can and I think with JS and AP he might well be given more time than he arguably deserves, but a turnaround needs to come and fast as there seems to be something wrong at the club atm.
