How this plays out short term

Me thinks they’d perhaps hire a CEO who has an idea of how to run a football club and not leave it to some old farts who presumably still use ledgers.

I dont know how we are going to get our heads round these sort if revolutionary ideas

I'm getting my dictionary out - looking up what 'visionary,competent  professional, forward thinking, imaginative, efficient ' all mean

I still think 4 will play out to a war of attrition with mutually assured destruction being relegation.

I hope it’s 1 though as it needs to be. I don’t want to see anyone currently at the club displaced but we must bring in real expertise and experience off the pitch as well as on it.

We need people who know how to utilise digital platforms and CRM to engage the supporter base. The current Board see social media as a platform for dissatisfied supporters when in reality if correctly supported it can start and build a movement.

I’d love a new owner to invest in and champion a proper community programme. Not one just aimed at harvesting the best young talent but one that also engages with the elderly, disadvantaged, local charity partners and organisations to support youngsters who have difficulties settling.

We need to learn from other clubs and organisations and take any pay forward they can offer us and not see them as a threat or with suspicion.

I’m sure the investment opportunity that a new stadium could bring those who are willing to bank roll us short term is a key attraction to any new owner but the difference you could also make locally in a Town like Grimsby and surrounding area could bond loyalty for decades to come.

I am heartened by the fact that we have got through 20 hours today without a club statement responding to last night's statement from the Shutes consortium. Maybe a good indicator that things are progressing and Fenty understands he has to go.

Hopefully the next statement will be a joint one from the the club & Shutes consortium.

What a sensible reply.

Things are about to get really ugly! Probably about time aswell GTFC and UK in general. Buckle up folks!

Quoted from Ipswin

I'm a fan Pete but if I won Euromillions I wouldn't buy Grimsby Town and the two Town fans in tne Shutes Consortium didn't get the bank balances they've got by buying run down no mark football clubs just because they are fans

My biggest worry is not them buying as I realise up front that GTFC is just one small piece of their plans. I am more worried that they know absolutely intercourse all about running a football club. God knows who they might appoint as manager!

The only thing we can be sure of is that whoever they appoint you will tell us all that it’s a mistake

Can you imagine us having a CEO? Even typing those words is almost mystical.

Ian Fleming has the title of Chief Executive, but I doubt he’s been given the real authority other than the title.

Understood. But no, I mean a real CEO.
