We sacked Hurst 28th October .Adkins was appointed  full time 2nd November .Stockroom said they were looking at the data for 6 weeks prior to sacking Hurst. Do your own checks


Adkins had been involved with Tranmere since the summer, he was an ex player abd acting as a consultant, he was never available to anybody else.

We've been excrement for 20 years. From top to bottom, our facilities, ex chairman and location have prevented any sort of improvement. Last week's draw is a sign of what this group can do and we've just lost to probably this years champions.  I believe we'll be ok and push on next season. UTM

Hopefully vernam starts and runs the show.

Yeah but Adkins was already their manager since September and had been working for them since pre season so he wasn't really available in the usual sense

Perhaps you should do some checks of your own before boldly stating your position.

Artell stated in his interview that he needed 3 more recruitment periods to get the team he wanted/needed. Somehow I can't see the fans waiting until the end of next season before he gets it right, if at all.

Personally, I see too many comparisons to a certain "Billy Bullsh1t" Bignot  who also proclaimed "I get it" on a regular basis. If he was so good why was he out of work for so long?  Did Crewe ever really hit the heights?              

He's not the Messiah the fans are looking for in my book.

Bit in bold - on this I'm with him, remember you have to manage outgoings as much as manage incomings as we only have the financial resource to sustain a reasonable number of pros. This squad looked good on paper at the start of the season but on grass it's proving  poor.

You have an interesting point there Stranger.
The Alex have to sell someone regularly to stay in business. Thats the business template.  Grow your own players and sell them on.  This means that every year the quoted odds on success are long. There is little recruitment of "known" players. But if the production line is slow and/or there are a lot of contracts at an end they then slump next season cos everyone pays more than the Alex do.
Do Grimsby intend to pay enough salary to retain the players if Artell's plan begins to work?

Yes putting together any team is a mix of knowledge and the unknown. You can do as many checks as you like but putting a squad together is totally different to how they have performed individually in the past. It could be just a simple matter of them not getting on as well as they should  or just not able to perform as well in a different environment, or their previous team playing to the strengths of a particular player. A good manager will do his best to mitigate these circumstances but it must be very hard.

The opposite is also true of course that a player might seem to fail dismally at one club and be a roaring success elsewhere.

At least now we can look for players who in general terms at least can play how the manager wants but by God you need huge amounts of luck especially with a mid range budget which restricts your choice a bit.
