17Well Chuck Norris got on today.
I wonder if Astra Zenica will get off the bench before the end of the season, surely can’t do any worse.

Re: Grandstand: Grimsby Town FC versus Newport County A.F.C
21The fact that he was sacked twice within a year answers your question.
Re: Grandstand: Grimsby Town FC versus Newport County A.F.C
22The other name which seems to be in the frame is Leon Brittan. I stress I know nothing other that he being suggested.
Re: Grandstand: Grimsby Town FC versus Newport County A.F.C
23Cannot believe some are calling for Coughlan to be sacked. He has kept the club above the relegation zone with a small budget, squad and an injury list that defies logic.
When you look at clubs like FGR, Salford and Swindon who are well below us with much more cash and a bigger, better squad of players you get a reality check.
I respect Coughlan but not some of our players because they are not running themselves into the ground, mentally and physically weak and are letting our great club down.
There is so much dead wood in the squad the axe has to fall on many players. Not mentioning names some do not care if we lose as long as they are paid a wage.
Coughlan deserves another season and Mr. Jenkins if you give him enough cash to buy decent players he will stand and deliver.

24I don't think anyone has called for Coughlan to be sacked. Certainly not me, if it were my decision I'd extend his contract. What I am saying is that there seem to be indications that Graham Coughlan may be on the move.somerton moss wrote: April 6th, 2024, 11:06 pm Cannot believe some are calling for Coughlan to be sacked.

Re: Grandstand: Grimsby Town FC versus Newport County A.F.C
25Fortunately, it's not the small minority of fan's decision and I think the big majority of fans are still behind GC because they recognise what he has done whilst he's been here. On the other had, Mr Jenkins has to think about what he can do in the future as he sees it and not what GC has done in the past. But there is little sentiment in football - especially when it comes to managers.somerton moss wrote: April 6th, 2024, 11:06 pm Cannot believe some are calling for Coughlan to be sacked.

Re: Grandstand: Grimsby Town FC versus Newport County A.F.C
27Try trawling back through my posts if you have doubts. I often wonder what it is that makes some posters attribute to me views I don't hold. On reflection I think it's fear. It is a stark reality that one day you will die. The overwhelming majority of even the people you know will on the day you die will be more concerned with the bill from the electric company that has just arrived. Nobody, myself included, wants to be told that. And we all feel uncomfortable when we are reminded of that and berate the messenger.Chepstow'sFine wrote: April 7th, 2024, 8:38 am

If that's the case with yourself, I understand. Then again you might just be an idiot.
Re: Grandstand: Grimsby Town FC versus Newport County A.F.C
28If a person keeps telling everyone that they are a fan of fan ownership, but didn't and never have joined the trust, then the people see through you, as your actions don't link with the sentiment.
Similarly why would an individual keep putting forward the idea that the manager is under threat, if he didn't want it to happen. He would keep his mouth shut....

Sorry, but that’s nonsense. If you hear things about a manager/player, regardless of whether you like them or not, most would discuss it with their fellow fans on their supporters forum. Why would anyone keep quiet about it??
