Ian Holloway has announced his resignation as the Grimsby Town manager after just under a year in charge of the League Two club.
Holloway’s departure comes in the wake of his side’s 2-1 home defeat against Bradford on Tuesday, which left the Mariners in 20th place in the table. Holloway blamed the “inappropriate” actions of the club’s prospective new owners as the main reason for his decision, and regretted that he did not get a “fair crack” at making a success of his role at Blundell Park.
Holloway said in a statement on his personal Twitter account: “It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my resignation as manager of Grimsby Town Football Club. New wannabe owners are hovering over GTFC and [the majority shareholder] John [Fenty] has told me he is selling his stake in the club. So it’s time for a fresh start across the board for this great club.
“Contact was made by the new owners to me on several occasions before the takeover, which I felt was inappropriate, and told them as such. This is the key factor in my decision.”

You assembled a squad not good enough, left us a few points off relegation. BUT the fans were still backing you. Now you walk away a week before the most important transfer window in our history leaving a new manager very little time to asses the squad. Thanks for nothing Ian.

Said it from day one when you walked into the job. I saw what you did at Millwall. Gave you the benefit of the doubt. Hoped for the best for my club and you’ve now dropped us right in the shit just before the jan transfer window. Talk about trying to save face
