The vanity project of the Grauniad columnist has run its course. We are no better off today than when we were when the fish monger was in place!

Fed up of the Guardian articles, the excuses for under investment, the interfering in style of play and bemoaning social media when you made your fortune out of it Mr Stockwood.

This is on you. You sack a manager then take an age to appoint this. He’s an arrogant shill. Get him gone.

I think the owners have done a great job but can’t see how JS can reframe the truth and what’s before their eyes.

I think they’ve done a brilliant job since taking over from Fenty, you only had to look around the place 2 minutes before kick off today and I’m a big supporter of them but if they allow Artell to take us down they’ve failed the club & us.

We are so far off being able to grind out results which you need to do in our situation that I can’t see a way back.

Who do you believe should be manager? You're always calling for sackings. Put it in your signature, so when it turns out to being a crap idea, we can hold you to account.

The Grimsby Way haha yes a 3rd relegation to non league. How on earth did this clown get the job your data is excrement so is your recruitment guy your coaches and your new signings. Sack this idiot now tonight and get some fight and passion back in the team.All I saw there was players either hiding of simply not good enough for EFL football and summed Artell up when he brought on the young kid from Coventry before Pyke and Wilson.Artell Out

Unfortunately, the owners are responsible for the whole sorry mess this season.
How they can extract themselves from this?
I’m sure they are Grimsby Town fans the same as me.
But - they need to ‘switch on’ and quickly - oh ! and do not place all of your faith in data.

Talk to people!

Forget your "sustainable" bullshit . The most important thing you need to do is sack artell and now.

We're is the FA cup money ?

Were is the conteh money? Why wasn't this invested in January?  You haven't invested in the team in the slightest, you let dave bring in players who can't get in there own match day  18, no one wants this club relegated apart from you by the looks of it.  Sack this clown and tonight.

We drop glennon for a bloke who looks like he's been dragged off the street. We sign a teenager from
Coventry whoopee fuckin do. We sack hurst and wait 6 or 7 weeks in to bring in a fuckin man who sets his team out to concede 5 goals a game, he's clueless.

You didn't invest in the team in January.  You didn't bring the right man in to replace hurst.

This is all on you.



The easy answer is it's gone on paying off Hurst /Doig . If we were to pay Big D off now it would be even more substantial .

Then there is the ground cost to factor in.

We may see how willing the owners are in the coming days/weeks , or at least how deep their pockets are

Or Big D turns it around

This is what happens when owners try and influence the footballing side of things despite not having the experience or qualifications to do so. A steep learning curve for them and they need to learn from their mistakes. That starts with getting rid of Artell.

Would the owners employ somebody in one of their businesses for 3 months and find they are worse off than the one they replace? No, they'd sack him.

So why is the situation at this club so different?
