Thanks MJ for keeping us up when we looked doomed.

I hope you get another chance as a manager somewhere but look back what you have not done well and learn from your mistakes and you will do ok.

Palace away - I really thought after that we had something special going on.

Good on the bloke he saved us from the drop.

Good luck to him.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Agree with most of what’s been said.

Sad that the little red crossing brigade took their fingers off their tiny little dicks to express themselves in their usual fashion.


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.

As others have said without him we would be non-league. The relief of scoring that last minute penalty against Chesterfield was incredible. Had we lost that game there's a good chance we would be where they are now. Anti-Fenty feeling was building at the time so JF should be forever grateful that he took a lot of heat off him. I don't think we were in danger of relegation this season with him in charge but with Fenty's history of recruitment I'm now not so sure.

I can’t quite believe we’re here so soon after the Port Vale home game. I thought we were challengers that day. And that was Jolley’s doing.

He left us in a better position and with a stronger, younger squad than he inherited. I don’t think you can ask for much more from an inexperienced manager with moderate budget. He goes with my best wishes, not many ex town managers I can say that about.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

For those who do Twitter michael jolley 07 has his full statement and there are now nearly 200 tweets thanking him.don't think too many managers get sacked with that level of goodwill from fans
