Stop - Think

To those of you on the Paul Hurst thread that are already moaning that Hurst is coming back. Please stop and think for a moment, what the hell are you doing.

Stop and think about the board mandate for consortium to agree a deal that gives John what he’s asked for, to agree terms, and then for them to participate in the urgent and timely appointment of a new manager.

If this is quite clearly what has happened, then approximately 30% of you are already taking issue with and moaning about the decision of the consortium in respect of their manager, even before the ink is set on the share sale agreement. Incidentally, the choice of managers being the singlemost criticism fans have had of John Fenty over the years. The primary key in unlocking success or failure during his tenure. Please stop it now, as the consortium won’t stand for it and might easily not complete on the sale if they already feel the heat of your angst.

To those of you that are on that thread, happy with the appointment of Paul Hurst. Are you happy that this is a consortium appointment? Because if it isn’t, then it’s a John Fenty appointment. Which it is anyway when you think about it, as he holds the purse strings presently. Do you really think John would appoint a manager mid sale, that he wouldn’t be happy with should the sale fall over before completion? No he wouldn’t. So essentially 70% of you are backing a John Fenty decision, made under his stewardship.

So is there a moral to this story. Clearly there is and as you read this, you will realise that you sit in one of the two camps above. And you really can’t have it both ways. What is abundantly clear is that no matter who owns the club, they will never be clear of the continuous scrutiny, criticism and vitriol that has long since been a pandemic amongst those that support Grimsby Town Football Club. In summary, to me we have a problem, a disease like condition that can be summed up and described in one word.... “GRIMSBY”.

How do you feel about the takeover Fillipe Noche ?

Is this your “Shut up” moment?

How do you feel about the takeover Fillipe Noche ?

Are you referring to the takeover or to the appointment of Paul Hurst?

Hello Mr (k)night.

Thought you had left with your tail between your legs.

I’m pretty sure Mr Hurst would not be coming unless he was sure it wasn’t under Mr Fenty’s tenure. A strength and conditioning coach doesn’t get you 3 points on a Saturday remember.

The takeover.

i'm seriously becoming worried about you.

If you are here as a troll and for a giggle, carry on mate.

If you happen to be on the board and spitting your dummy out, please reach out for help, because the fact you've come on a FANS forum, under a weird name, is a major sign of problems to me....

Your 24-hour stand in defence of Fenty on Monday had the desired effect, so do carry on...

I think you need some time away from your keyboard mate. Go out for a walk or something.

Get back to looking after johns lawns and lint rollering his snooker table .
