The players have stopped playing for Artell.

He has to go.


Sleep well Icey, Matty and Richard. Keep each other company up there xx

Quoted from Teestogreen
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!


Firstly hurst spunked the budget on tosh players for that I don’t blame them but employing David Brent is at their door

I think like many on here upon the takeover I was optimistic. I could swallow relegation if it meant a post Fenty future. Initially it was going well, promotion, FA cup runs, record ST sales, record merchandise sales.

But, If you get in countless 21st group advisors, Gareth Jennings (remember him), data lakes, focus groups and logo redesigns in the world and you still f**k up your first managerial appointment as bad as this then I’m sorry but you need to stand up, own it, and own it fast.

Forget your philosophy, strategy without execution is pointless powerpointing.

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


"We can't afford to pay him off" but can we afford to go down?

Quoted from HertsGTFC
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.


Really? You support these two idiots? You must have comedy Bruce grobbelar hands such is the level of happy clapping you've attained, smell the f.cking coffee ffsake man

Quoted from davmariner
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.


I do agrèe

But I would have a Steve Evans in (and he's big )

Just to win every week , but that doesn't fit their criteria does it and they are the one's accountable snd putting the money in/payinv off people so it's up to them .

It's one or the other, go down and that's where the next season's income will be, down. Time for JS & AP to dig into their pockets


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time
