GRIMSBY TOWN have announced that Paul Hurst has taken sole charge of first-team affairs.
An extremely brief statement on the club’s website said: “Paul Hurst will take sole charge of team matters at this time.”
The statement offers no explanation as to what may have happened to Hurst’s joint-manager, Rob Scott.
It did however say that a further statement will be made in due course.
Hurst and Scott took over as joint-bosses of the Mariners in March 2011 having previously managed together at Ilkeston Town and Boston United.
They finished 11th in their first season in charge and repeated that finish in 2011/12.
Last term saw the Mariners challenge at the top of the table, eventually finishing fourth and losing out to eventual play-off winners Newport County over two legs in the semi-finals.
The Lincolnshire outfit also made it to the FA Trophy final before being beaten by Wrexham on penalties.
They have made a mixed start to this season, winning three times, losing twice and drawing once.
Our man Stuart Hammonds is at the Mariners’ Skrill Premier game away at Luton Town tomorrow and we’ll be bringing you an extended match report from Kenilworth Road in Sunday’s edition of The Non-League Paper.
