Quoted from GrimRob
Why go for a "name" who has been sacked numerous times? Our best managers have been for lower down the ladder: Buckley, Slade, Hurst. Or you could take a punt with a top-flight player on their first job like Laws. Half the skill in the job is picking good players. Do we really want someone who has been out of the game for months?


I think this has a lot of merit and i imagine the board will at least be considering it given the three names you mention. My first thought was that we need an experienced league manager, but as you point out, we have had almost 100% success lately recruiting from below.

The soft liberals on here would never accept him unfortunately, same with Evans I would have him yesterday but he will never win over the PC element.


I thought you right wingers were meant to be big on law and order. Or is fraud OK in positions of responsibility?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

With his playing days virtually finished, we could do worse than offer Wayne Rooney the player/manager position.

Would make us popular with Mourinho & Southgate - and Wayne should still have enough to bang in a few for us.

Money?......No problem - he's got so much he doesn't need any more!

He should pay us for the privilege of being asked to come to Grimsby Town FC.

Not just lately Ginny but historically, our most successful mangers - Bill Shankley, Lawrie McMenemy, Alan Buckley, George Kerr - none of them were that well known or had taken the world by storm before they came to us.

It's always a knee-jerk reaction to start touting the obvious names who have been on the managerial merry-go-round for a number of years, but sometimes it's the unknown guy who gets the job done.
