Andrew Dallas

Moors chairman releases placatory statement following the departure of Tyrone Barnett and now Andrew Dallas. The main takeaway for me however is that he looks a lot like a badly drawn Phil Parkinson.

However, young players have their own ambitions, understandably, and both Ryan and Andrew made it clear that they wanted to play in the EFL next season – and sadly, we are unlikely to match this ambition in the short term.

I mean... he had the opportunity to do so if the rumours are true. He must be holding out for the best deal possible, which you can understand but it could easily backfire.

At the end of the day you can't make someone go work somewhere he doesn't want to.
Maybe it's down to location , money , ambition or he might not like our style of play of management.
Who cares eh ?

I think it confirms what we knew in that if things hadn't gone our way in the POF and they'd have got promoted their support based would have struggled to sustain league football and the extra costs that would have incurred.

On the face of it he appears to be pretty open about the reasons they've let talent go. Also good to see that Ardley hasn't been blamed for their mid table performance level, I think he's a decent manager, you would expect the vultures to be circling.

I imagine it's more the money side . On another level you look at the likes of what Kilian Mbappe gets at Paris St Germain. Last year he was on just over 1.5 million a week 😳. Football is ultimately a business where the best players go where the money is.

I’d like us to look at Sbarra rather Dallas, think he could fill a void to be left by McAttee.

I’d like us to pay some more fees int he summer with this new influx of money from the cup

Dallas certainly has a decent goals to games return at tin pot level, I just wonder if Twitter etc.. has made him the next big thing as it tends to do from time to time.

This Andrew Dallas thing has become a bleedin' fetish on here. His scoring record at L2 level is 2 goals in 23 games btw.

We're going to need at least two forwards in the summer, and if PH wants AD to be one of them that's fine with me.
But he'll be the 'good prospect'...the other guy (I'm hoping) will be 6' 4" and a proven goalscorer - you know, someone in
the mould of Erling Haaland, but more affordable (   ).

Personally, I'd look beyond Dallas. Not because he's already turned us down (allegedly), but because we should be in a
position, financially, to recruit someone who is proven better at the level we're at.

I feel a bit for Hurst - given our Cup success - because there'll now be some daft fans thinking he can go out and sign
a L2 version of Erling Haaland. If only it was that easy (see signature below)...

Happy dreaming Fishies!

PH said in one of his interviews that Dallas had said that he did not want to come to Grimsby.

Should it ever be the case of PH leaving I wouldn't mind Ardley here. Conducts himself with the same class and seems to be able to get a tune out of a player, found a few gems at Solihull and came a whisker away to getting them promoted last year against us.
