This is getting concerning now, if Ron is calling the shots then we are in real trouble, leave recruitment up to the manager and his coaching staff. They then recommend the player to the chairman or CEO who then sorts out the finances and contracts. Mohsni is a journeyman with issues wherever he goes. No thanks.

Its concerning if they think this nut coming back is a good idea.

Its concerning if they think this nut coming back is a good idea.

What for me is more concerning as said above is MM has no aay!
Finding a CEO is probably impossible.

His off to Barnet then to get fit and then on to us hopefully in January, trouble is we will pretty much be relegated by then

You honestly think he'd turn things around for us?

Not a chance, like to see him back here sometime, I think we are down really, it’s gonna take something big to save us this season, still possible but can’t see it unfortunately.

I'm not sure where everyone has got the idea that this is all down to Ron. That may well be the case, but there's nothing in that article to suggest that is the case. It is pure speculation.

All the article says is that Ron said he doesn't think Bilel is fit. What that says to me is that (because of a lack of a CEO) Ron is the one doing the talking, which is what you would expect. If the manager has suggested he might like to have a look at Bilel then it would be up to Ron to talk to his agent.

Personally I would question the move because (as I said previously) I think that ship has sailed, but you never know. I would, however, question Ron and his due diligence. Blimey, based on previous experience this should be a big no no for Ron. That said, if the only issue was his fitness and not his temperament then maybe we should take him back. For clarity, that's a bit of speculation on my part: I have no idea why Holloway thought it was a mistake to sign him, but one thing's for sure: If I were Ron I'd be talking to Grimsby to find out before I did anything.

I think holloways realised bilel is one card short of a full deck.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Sorry, I'd love to have him back!

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

Might as well have a laugh before we get relegated I guess.

That's very possibly the case, but we don't know that. If I was Ron I would be asking, and not just asking Ian Holloway.

Let's assume he is a sandwich short of a picnic (still). If I were Holloway I would be saying it's purely down to fitness and nothing else in the hope that we would sign him and cause us to self destruct further. That would be one less relegation place for Grimsby to worry about.

For that reason depending on his response (if indeed there is one), I wouldn't be relying on anything he says. I would be speaking to a number of people from different places who have interacted with him. And even then I wouldn't rely solely on their opinions.

 

[Strykr]

Agree, but the fact rons even entertaining it knowing full well what bilel is like says a lot about rons football acumen.

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

Question, has anyone actually seen Bilel play football in the last 7 years? Opinions on his worth seem based on the player he was, when he was here. It’s been a long time.

 

[Mad Cyril]

We will be signing TOWIE stars and ex boy band members before the end of the season.

Even if it is just Bilel not being fit that's not a good sign, the rest of Grimsby's squad has got themselves up to the required standard so why hasn't Bilel?

That could be for many reasons. Who knows. But, if he spends the next month playing matches at Barnet then that could well not be an issue.

 

[MCB]

Hang on, we (Barnet) have signed him as a centre back. I know he scored a hat trick against us when you stuck him on the wing, but I always thought that was to reduce the chances of being sent off. So, where is his current best position?!

I'd still prefer to have Akinola though.

 

[Pak Power]

Haha, would love to see Bilel and Niall Ranger up front together this season. We would really be pushing the ****ing boundaries, opening the doors of perception. .

Yes , and they'd both be MM signings

 

[wiggy]

Interesting. Where did you get them from on the Olayinka and Akinola signings?

Spot on, let’s face it Moshni and Macca would hardly have been on M.M’s radar.....Ron fancies that he might be more successful as a football manager rather than a club owner. News for you Martin, most of the ones you bring here are washed up and injury prone.
He’d make a far better job out of football, estate agent, car dealer?..... both jobs require lies and bull sh it!
