We will miss Pearson, he's the best CB we have in the squad, Collins is too slow now unfortunately as he is a fine player and Boyce just makes too many mistakes. If Pearson is going as it seems it will be a huge loss and I would expect to see him in a team pushing for promotion if not a team in League 1

Roll up, roll up! Come and see the Magnificent Mariners circus. Be stunned by our PR, marvel at our squad filled once again with mercenaries. Tickets priced only £18 (but likely to go up next season so think yourselves lucky)!
🎪🤹♂️🤡
Hopefully we are not going to sign a journeyman last paycheque centre half and pay him twice as much as someone with the heart and attitude of Pearson, we tried that route and ended in non league for 6 years, Pearson looked our best centre back on many occasions this season and was the only one still improving

Thanks for all your efforts Shaun, on and off the pitch. You were nothing but dedicated and professional in your whole time at the club and i wish you well in the future. Like Diz, you will always be welcome here.
Hope he plays in the Diz match, so we can give him a good send off.

We're going to struggle to find a replacement who wants to be a Town player as much as SP has over the last few years. There is of course a possibility that Shaun himself has asked to leave but I doubt it with a Grimbarian Mrs and little 'un. Unless of course he is staying in the county/region.

Talk about loyalty in the game............. it is non-existent. Surely with their wealth of experience Dis and Shaun should have had at least been given one year deals. They have given so much to this club, and both shown great loyalty and how do we repay that loyalty...... This saddens me the way GTFC handle affairs like this and it kind of makes you ashamed of the hierarchy of this club.
One thing is for sure, keep this up and season ticket sales won't be great. Let's not forget either that Russell Slade has NEVER got a team promoted as yet, despite a couple of near misses. I keep the faith as ever, but am completed copulated off by the clubs integrity.
Thanks Shaun, you were a great lad for GTFC, you gave everything and never moaned about anything at all. A shining example to all players.

Sad times.
I can sort of understand the argument that we might be able to replace him (I'm sure Slade has his targets) but like Disley going, I fear we're losing someone who truly understands what it's like to not just play for Grimsby, but care for Grimsby.
There's no doubt that Shaun's off-field work showed how much he cared for the club and community. A lot of it was off his own back, from what I understand.
Shaun and Diz were very close with the fans. They 'got it' from our perspective, mainly because they spent so long with us (remarkably long, given the level we were/are at).
We may even get promoted next season, but it'll be a long time before we build another team that feels as close to the fans. It took Hurst a few years to build that sort of squad, but it's been unceremoniously dismantled now.
All the best, Shaun. Thanks for everything you've given to the GTFC cause, both on and off the pitch.
