Well... we certainly are in a better position now that he has left as he would have taken us down. At least, with Hurst we have a chance.
Not sure if that was what he meant, but that is a fact.

"I only came here for football, I didn’t come here to be part of building houses. It’s nothing to do with me, or who wants to build them, it’s about football for me."

Well that's balderdash, because he also said this...

"I want the fans to trust me because I want to move the club forward. If I do and when we get a new ground, my investment will be very shrewd."

Hmm, after his first game in charge we were 18th in the table and 8 points clear of the relegation zone with players like Charles Vernam, Ethan Robson and Jake Hessenthaler in the team.

We're now in the relegation zone and saddled with some of the players he signed at the start of the season.

Not too sure how that can be considered as a better position.

I really believe he came here to mainly make money by getting involved financially with the new ground, same as the May chap, who’s got £1 million just to improve training facilities. Holloway was hoping his £100k of shares would eventually reap a nice reward, but in the meantime would still be getting paid as the football manager. You never know one day the whole truth will come out about what’s be going on this last year.

Interesting comment about not coming here to build houses...

Could just be a turn of phrase, of course.

It was lucky he didn't invest his £100k or sell his house, now that would have been unlucky and to think I shook his hand in the upper John Smiths on his appointment at the first game. With hindsight I should have thrown him down to the lower stand!

Also, Fenty has agreed to sell, which wasn't the case when Runaway came here.

So, technically, also a better position.

He's yesterday's news. Not only here but, I suspect, in the wider football world.

Let's move on. He is just another bad dream that we need to forget.

I think he’s exactly the same as Trump. Popular. Appears on telly a lot. Whiff of dodgy property deals. Full of BS. Daft caps. Said he wanted to make Grimsby/America great again. Trashed Grimsby/America. Funny accent.

Because he failed to take out due diligence on Town and Fenty. If he had he would have seen that JF had wanted to sell his shares for years. The club had been in free fall for years with lack of investment in both team and infrastructure. It had been run along the lines of a dictatorship as had his previous club Blackpool.

Unfortunately the man with the big ego, big mouth and football experience?????? couldn't see deja vu.

Whereas Runnaway had his anus transplanted to his mouth.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

You’d think so but someone will be daft enough to fall for it...we did and he was washed up before we had him.

Media luvvies championing him because he rambles nonsense about nothing worth listening to and ill educated football fans at desperate club have heard of him so he must be good is the reason he’ll get another club.

I wouldn’t even wish him on Hull or Scunny. The mans a flipping humongous cuntt.
