All credit to him,shows he still has the desire to manage a football league team. As difficult a job as you could imagine in my view.

Good luck Ollie. I might have a bet on them to go up next season.

Shows what people in the game think of him.
Managers coming and going all over the place, all he can get is a team threatened with dropping out of the League, and to get that gig he has to buy shares in the club.
Still hope it works out for him, just hope he doesn't start his nonsense about his blood being whatever colour their shirts are this season.

I'm just glad he's no longer earning a living as part of some dreadful vaudeville double act on Quest. Grimsby are a decent club with plenty of potential and a large fan base to draw on - unlike ourselves they never kicked on after regaining League status but there's no reason why Ollie can't make that happen. Good luck to him and them.

Where did you get having to buy shares in GTFC to secure the manager's job from?

Good luck to him and them. certainly potential there for decent crowds, looking in on the forum occasionally and they are as frustrated with their top man as we are here , potential new ground been mooted before their return to FL and no further on

I can't demonstrate that him getting the post wasn't contingent on him buying shares, so assumed it was part of the negotiated package. Had it not been part of the agreement then it's not unreasonable to assume that the club would have said something along the lines of him being so enthusiastic about the vision and plans that the owners have that he went as far as to enquire about getting on board via share ownership. They didn't, so it looks as much as anything as if he's gone there for a job but been bamboozled and ended up getting his cheque book out.

Sure does; As an aside, we should call them by their proper name, Grimsbury.

Shares can be part of an employment package! Now you may argue that by taking that option instead of cash he is buying shares, but it does not stipulate that he paid for shares with his previously earned cash.

He has managed nearly a 1,000 league games and won 3 promotions,2 of them from the championship. He is not everyone's cup of tea but nobody can alter the fact he has had both an outstanding playing career and management career. For some reason i always had a sof spot for grimsby so i hope it works out.

Oh dear how the mighty have fallen.
The report says he's selling up and moving to that part of the world, where I'm sure there are some nice parts to live.
Nothing against Grimsby, I found their support v us at Wembley more vociferous, and they are a decent club with history and tradition.
But, really? Spinning the same yarn over there will lose you the gig quicker than acquiring it by buying a few shares, because we all know that investment into a football club is a basket case waiting to happen. Choosing (or more accurately, defacto having) to buy shares smats of desperation.
I wish him well, but the he's yesterday's manager and most probably this year's fish and chip wrapper at some point..

It won't take many post match interviews where it's obvious that he wants to make everything about him and his Christmas cracker jokes, they'll soon be bored of it.
