Does make you think about the whole "Bignot failed at Grimsby" argument. He did better there than they're doing now.
Massive game for them at home to Chesterfield a week on Saturday.

I can imagine their fans are saying "if only we kept hold of Paul Hurst". What a job he has done at Shrewsbury Town. They are going toe to toe with big spending Wigan and Blackburn and will probably come out on top. Incredible season for them and from disliking them around 10 years ago I actually hope they go on and get promoted as they seem to have an infastructure that the likes of their former rivals Chester, Hereford and Wrexham should strive to have.

Grimsby seem to be winning this year's award for the best Chester-style fall from mid-table security into serious relegation trouble, having not won for ages. Deja vu for Ben Davies given what happened at Chester in 2005-06.

Or maybe its because of the mess he left behind? After all thats the reason he's gonna relegate us because of the previous manager isnt it......

Well actually their next manager forced out Bignot’s signings to the disproval of their fans, and left them in a worse position than Bignot with his own signings.

Yeah yeah we get you are Bignots 2nd best fan after his Mum. But if he did such a good job at Grimsby why is he not still there? I dont actually have an opinion on him either way.

Didn't the Chairman get rid of MB to get his mate Russell Slade in? The supporters were split on MB though. There were some really worrying comments on their fans forum at the time. I'm fairly undecided on MB too. He's not really had a chance here, but not sure we should keep him as fans would be underwhelmed. That would likely reduce attendances further.

We have to remember Grimsby are a much better outfit that ourselves. So if their fans decision was split on him, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. You look at United and Mourinho and they have a good number of fans not convinced by him either. I just think we will never really know what sort of manager MB can actually be for us if he goes at the end of this season. Those saying he's proven he's a bad manager with his signings need a bit of a reality check for me. There's only so much managing you can do when you inherit a bad squad, have to release your high earners amid finanical restraints and beg sides to loan us players without cost. If we keep him on for another 12 months, give him a change along with NY's expertise to build a side next season, we will see the real MB, be that good or bad.

The ironic thing with MB is that he would likely be the standout candidate in applicants for the job, if it were advertised in May. The applicants would be of lesser standing, due to the relegation and very limited budget. It's not going to be the attraction it might have appeared when SB was given it.

I do however read OneFootballForum and there are a fair few Grimsby on there who do not share your view of Bignot. I admire your enthusiasm for the Blues, but apparently you are young and will realise when you get older that Marcus is a dud. Sorry to be so blunt.

You're not right and nor is he it's a difference of opinion. If you're bringing up age you should be less naive yourself that to try and use age patronise someone for supporting a manager. Grimsby Fan forum, OneFootball, they're just people's opinions. I think saying someone is young and when they get older really is just patronising and misplaced when supporting a difference of OPINIONS.

I didn’t even know what to reply to Hannibal but that just about sums it up so thanks. I too thought the fanbase was divided over his departure so this surprised me a little.

I certainly am not patronising anybody. It is my opinion that McCarthy as useless as he was/is would have had us better than 31 points after 39 games. You are entitled to your opinion and your opinion may be correct. This is just the most disappointing season since I first attended a game in April 1960, and for that Bignot must take some of the blame. I will give MB some credit with trying his best, but we've lost too many games from winning positions and conceded too many goals at the death. I'm going to bed.
