Grimsby Town manager Ian Holloway has quit the club following rumours of a potential takeover at the League Two side, as well as dealings the current owner had with a convicted fraudster.
Holloway, 57, took the job in December 2019 but has been unable to change the club’s fortunes, leaving them 20th in the league.
