In a neat little town they all call Grimsby Apprentice to a tradeI was bound And many's an hour's sweet happiness Have I spent in this neat little town.
A sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Never Betrayed by the black and white band.
Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair hung over her shoulders Tied up with a black and white band.
Regardless of who we get ( providing PH is sacked ) it will still be a gamble. Since I've been watching town the two most successful managers seem to have been Lawrie Mac and Buckley 1 & 2. Both appointments were generally slated by the fans at the time. Lawrie Macs previous appointment had been a relegation season at Doncaster and wasn't a " proper footballer" - these were general comments made at the time. AB came from a non-league team and the general consensus seemed to be ( certainly from letters in the GET at the time ) that we were gearing up for non-league football. All doubters proved to be wrong but both appointments were gambles. When Woods went many opinions on The Fishy seemed to be that we needed a " young, hungry for success manager with non-league experience". We duly got two managers who were young, certainly hungry for success, had non-league experience with two promotions under their belts and were on course for another with Boston. For many we got what we wanted. What is a fact is that because a manager is a success/failure at one club then it is no guarantee he will be the same at another.

Certainly the last bit is very true. I for one was quite keen on the dynamic duo.
McMenemy got off to a flier though really and very quickly endeared himself to the supporters by taking the players down dock to show them real workers. His all action effort style was evident from day one. I don't know about Buckley Mk1. My impression from memory is that fans wanted a new start. The age old clamour for a player manager had fallen flat. We had a squad in single figures when Buckley and Arthur Mann arrived and I think that people were more of the opinion that he would get successful non-league players and turn them into league players. Tillson and Alexander were good examples. You are definitely right though, success or failure in one club is not always a guarantee for the next job.
