Problems in Cleethorpes - and I don't just mean fishing quotas either. - It seems to involve a mixture of football, politics (small and large "P") and a very dodgy businessman/convicted fraudster, which probably isn't very good.
The Mariners are only three points above the League Two relegation zone and are on a five-game winless run. On Monday, the club stated they would not accept investment from convicted fraudster Alex May.
Chairman Phillip Day held talks with a group of three businessmen this week.
Majority shareholder John Fenty resigned from his position as deputy leader of North East Lincolnshire county council on Tuesday after his business dealings with May, formerly known as Alick Kapikanya, came to light.
In their statement, the club said May wanted to invest £1m, which would have been spent on a new training facility for the club and local community, but "in all the circumstances, the Board declined to accept the offer".
Holloway calls for Grimsby unity
This is good, too.
Now Ian Holloway has posted a long statement on Twitter about how bad things are off the pitch, though he's not running away but is instead appealing to the fans to stick with the club while the owners get their finger out:
