The Fishy - Grimsby Town FC

Question of the Week

Who will go down?







 

The Countdown - Current Position!

By: Bill Osborne
Date: 23/06/2003

WITH the club committed to producing a squad of 25 players capable of taking us back into the first division, Paul Groves has been given a war chest that will be sufficient to make 10 signings.

That is not 10 new faces but 10 players, some of whom are among those who are now out of contract, a few youth players and some 'new faces'.

With the signing of Marcel Cas, Tony Crane and the re-signing of Macca, Paul Groves has begun the countdown and we presently stand at a squad of 18 players, which means we have 7 to go. Jevons has to be included whether he plays or not. Reports recently suggested that Groves was interested in another striker but if the Jevons situation is resolved satisfactorily, he may not pursue that option.

The following is the contracted players plus the out of contracts and my guess at their chances of being signed.

1 Chris Bolder Contracted: 12 Months remaining
2 Darren Barnard Contracted: 12 Months remaining
3 Mick Boulding Contracted: 12 Months remaining
4 Stuart Campbell Contracted: 12 Months remaining
5 Marcel Cas Contracted: 3 Years remaining
6 Danny Coyne Contracted: 9 months remaining
7 Tony Crane Contracted: 2 years remaining
8 Simon Ford Contracted: 12 months remaining
9 Paul Groves Contracted: 12 months remaining
10 Phil Jevons Contracted: 12 months remaining
11 Darren Mansaram Contracted: 12 months remaining
12 John McDermott Contracted: 2 years remaining
13 Wes Parker Contracted: Youth Players Deal
14 Andy Pettinger Contracted: 12 months remaining
15 Alan Pouton Contracted: 12 months remaining
16 David Soames Contracted: Youth Players Deal
17 Kirk Wheeler Contracted: 12 months remaining
18 Greg Young Contracted: 12 months remaining
 
...... In Limbo ......
1 Stacy Coldicott Probable
2 Steve Chettle Possible
3 Tony Gallimore Doubtful
4 Graham Hockless Doubtful
5 Bradley Hughes Possible
6 Steve Livingstone Doubtful
7 Jonathan Rowan Probable
8 Georges Santos Mission Impossible?
9 Chris Thompson Probable
10 Iain Ward Probable

Alternative suggestions are welcome on the MB.
