So if I employ an Electrician and Plumber, and the fuses keep blowing due to poor wiring and leaks galore due to rubbish soldering, it's all down to me.
Electrician and Plumber are blameless?


Well if you don't do your homework on employing a tradesman and employ someone who is crap at their job then yes it is your fault. Over the past 15 months we have had some excrement players and that is down to who signed them.

Well, even Checktrade doesn't guarantee a good tradesman. But they have been through a trade apprenticeship, but so what. You don't have to pass exams for attitude or work ethic.
You ask about, check on their work, but still, get caught out.

The point is a manager can only assess a player in training, but can only play them when under contract, and then it's a bit late.
When managers (Premiership)  buy players that are performing weekly in a team, under a spotlight, under a microscope, and even then they buy pups. Look at Balotelli or Pogba, managers tore their hair out.
Grimsby, like others, have what the others don't want. When was the last time we bought a player, by paying off his contract?
It's like that box of chocolates at Christmas, the favourites go first, then the 2nd favourites, etc, until you are left with the sickly strawberry cream thing which you don't really want, but eventually eat because that's what's left. That Strawberry cream(s) is what PH has to deal with, train, mould and push onto the pitch to hopefully win.
Yes, I know most fans wanted the Truffles and Ganache, but it's the Sickly Strawberrys we got.
I'm disappointed as you are, but then that is a heavy burden one takes when you follow lower league football.
But cheer up, you could be Derby County fan.

I wouldn't write them off just yet. Despite the 21 point deduction they are only 7 points from safety now, so gaining far more points than the teams around them.

Some millionaires are in negotiation to buy them and their last home gate was over 32,000.

I think I'd swap our position for theirs.
