Town’s window so far

Since when did taking a long term approach and investing in the team for future gain , employing sport and fitness specialists, a head of recruitment ,  data analysts , a chief executive and board members who actually know what they are doing get you 3 points on a Saturday ?

The future is bright it’s Black and White !

Unheard of and I'm absolutely buzzing for this season.
I usually only do a lucky 15 for the season but I'm going to do a separate single bet on us each way 100%. Unbelievable window so far.

Excellent stuff. Can we also agree then, that the often-referenced criticism that players will not come to Grimsby based on some absurd and spurious reasons is a fallacy, so long as the intent, the ambition and the wages match the players' expectations?

There are always some reasons why players won't come, obviously, which applies to any club, but it is not unique to Grimsby.

It's noticeable how many players that have signed have local or regional ties - using geography to our advantage. data led??

Very impressed  so far with the players we have got in so far..  For once in a long time i am looking forward to this season

It’s interesting what a little planning, ambition and patience can get you.

As Poojah points out, the league, on the whole is relatively slow at recruitment and I suspect that’s to do with the level and players waiting or searching, hoping for offers from clubs higher up.

The length of contracts shows commitment and belief in players which has got to help also. We’ve paid fees, albeit nominal in some cases which again shows a very different approach to the one we’re used to.

We’re on using data and the progress is a slow burner but I’d argue we’re still probably a year or two in front of the initial plan.

There’s always been excuses thrown around by fans and the previous owner regarding geography, money and all that jazz, and to some extent there’s an element of truth but we also know that reputation, culture and ambition play a part. If it was purely down to geography, Plymouth or Barrow would never sign anyone either. I can’t help but think that our cup run, the changing face of the club and the obvious trust and commitment towards players is helping, and I’d expect bigger clubs being more happy to loan out players to us.

Will it automatically turn into success and a playoff campaign? Possibly not but the club is moving forward and after 20 years of abject failure, a lack of ambition, penny pinching and clueless buffoons running the show, times are a changing and progress is being made all the time…

I don't recall that it was said that player's " won't come to Grimsby" merely that our geographical location and the apparent unattractiveness of the town made it difficult to attract them here. When previous managers have said this then surely it isn't a fallacy?

Wonder if there is a sell on clause in with the conteh deal? If there isn't then that's an ever better deal

as 'on this day' Tweeted we had just 31 days last season from beating Solihull to starting pre season. We did well to steady the ship and we start this season very well placed.

I don't see what Middlesbrough would do with a sell on percentage, let's assume he has a brilliant season and we sell him for a million and they have a 10% sell on fee, what would they do with that 100k they will gain? When they are in the championship or maybe even premiership that 100k isn't going to do anything for them is it.

Obviously that is just a random working assumption
