Next Town manager ?

So let me get this right, the people that knew absolutely nothing over the 4 weeks about anything managerial related, about canidates, who we was talking to or who is in the running... now know everything in regards to the deal supposedly falling through? Gotcha.

What has shocked me during these posts on several threads is the agenda that some people seem to have with our owners.  Firstly they are Grimsby born and bred and massive Grimsby Town supporters, who are putting in large sums of their own money to try and achieve some measure of success for the club.

However, this doesn't seem to be enough for some people, and they resort to making snidey remarks about JS Guardian articles and B Corp.  I have no idea what difference they think that makes to the every day running of GTFC, none as far as I can see.

We should be grateful that we have such good owners and are still not beholden to the whims of our previous owner.

Some people just need a target. Once they’ve got rid of one, they move on to the next. It never ends.

No one should need a target, nor should anyone think that a situation is perfect because it never is.

The chairman correctly made a point about many variables on Friday night, and that’s the issue. He can’t control what happens on the pitch and he can’t control what’s happening in a potential manager’s mind. It’s not his fault but it’s probably more difficult to control the number of variables that might occur in a football club compared to some of his previous business ventures.

There’s many of us who were on to Fenty from a very early stage. The current owners are way more capable than JF but there has to be a point where people can at least question what’s going on. I’m sure they know that they’re open to scrutiny without someone putting a target on their back.

Someone will be at training tomorrow, not sure if it's Artell or someone else unfortunately at this stage.

Given the choice of managing Grimsby Town or Morecambe most people would surely choose The Mariners, particularly with the new owners at Blundell Park and the instability at Morecambe.
There are only two things that might have swayed Artell; he played over one hundred times for The Shrimps and Crewe to Morecambe is an hour less journey time than Crewe to Cleethorpes.
I still hope David Artell will be announced as the new Grimsby Town Manager within the next few days.

People have been criticising the time and process since about the day Hurst got sacked. To say that you've been talking about sacking him for 6 weeks, when we were doing OK at that time, and not have had a single consideration for who or what you want next sounds stupid at best.

We've not lost since PH went.

One of the (many) disappointing aspects of human nature is that some people, who have achieved very little in their lives, like to
criticise those who have been successful because it makes them feel more important.

I think that comes into play here for some.

JS & AP are both successful businessmen in their own right. I do recall Lord Sugar saying some years ago that he regretted buying Spurs, him being another very successful businessman.

At the start of their tenure, both JS & Ap and DC all said that they were on a steep learning curve about running a football club. I suspect that the curve is steeper than they thought and like, Lord Sugar, have found out that is totally different to any business's they have experienced before.

With this in mind, it is probably the reason why the delay in a new manager is taking so long. Perhaps the shaking of the hand means to1878 a deal has been done, but to the other party "Good to see you and we''ll talk again".

If there isn't an announcement next week then the Christmas period will be nerve-racking for all concerned.

This thread is mental.

People are making disparaging posts based on absolutely no knowledge of what the facts are behind the scenes.

I think some people wake up in the morning and think "what can I get annoyed about today?"

I recommend a 7 mile walk along the beach, preferably with a dog, to work off those negative thoughts. Worked wonders for me this morning.
