Quoted from toontown
It says that since coming in 2022 to man u women she has helped grow attendances and commercial income - well if a boiled potato was appointed then it would have achieved the same as all women's teams have seen an upsurge in interest and sponsorship etc. It's only relevant if she has achieved more than would have been expected anyway, given that man u women are 2nd in the world for income that may well be the case.

No doubt if she's a success she won't be here long as we are an entry for her into being a CEO on the more lucrative mens side of the game, but nothing wrong with that and it will mean she has been a success with us. The fact man u brought people from the men's side of the organisation to discuss contracts on her watch though is quite a bit of an alarm bell.

I do hope that this isn't going to herald GTFC womens games at BP though, the pitch won't take double use and it's incredibly expensive to replace as we recently found out. That would be a massive and expensive error we can't afford in my opinion.


You couldn’t justify having the women’s games at BP, they’re not professionals. It’d be like letting a random 22 posters on here have a kick around. You wouldn’t let two teams from Division 9 of the Grimsby Sunday League play there, and that’s about the level.

The women’s team are very lucky to have the chance to represent the club, as there are thousands of us that’d love to but can’t (because we’re not good enough!).

She starts in June as per the DN35 pod.

A good friend of mine has worked directly with the new CEO in a previous role.

They said she’s fantastic at her job and the fact that Man U Women lost some players is no reflection on her. They just wouldn’t pay the wages to keep the likes of Russo.

She has had varied experience at top clubs.  I also doubt that Man United would appoint someone to a key position who was not good at their job.   (Apart from most of the men’s first team).

Does a midsize league two team warrant a CEO really.
For me it’s another 100 grand a year we can spend on players.

Believe it or not, the position of Chief Executive at Grimsby Town is not something new, Ian Fleming held the role for a number of years prior to the owners coming in.

I guess you could argue that for every aspect of the club that isn’t the playing budget, but realistically if you want to progress you need the infrastructure  the driving force to achieve that.

What you’re saying feels very ‘strength and conditioning coach doesn’t get you three points on a Saturday’.

We can certainly tell that the Football season is over and there’s nothing left to moan about!!

It seems as though we still have many archaic attitudes and behaviours at the club (fanbase) but the simple fact is that we need to rethink the way we do business if we are survive and become sustainable moving forward then we have to evolve.

Let’s give Polly the environment to be successful, rather than prejudice before she’s even started!!

Good luck Polly, I hope you smash it!

Morning Yoda

Look I don’t disagree with all your posts and you clearly want the team to succeed as we all do. However, you obviously voice a number of strong opinions on how the club is run, how the budget is allocated and the relative competency of our Manager and why a CEO is required.

Having read your comments immediately after listening to the DN35 podcast I would seriously recommend you contact Jason or Andrew and ask to have a twenty minute chat with them or at least exchange thoughts constructively via one of the social media platforms.

Hopefully, it would help alleviate some of your concerns and as a consequence more positive posts may emanate from you. Nothing wrong with being critical just helps if some of the criticisms are constructive.

A good friend of mine (also a woman, for all you fans of misogyny out there), worked alongside her for four years at UEFA in Switzerland and says she's brilliant. I trust her judgement.
