There has clearly been a mix up somewhere. The MP statement said Andrew had been offered a contract but that Davies and Pearson were "in negotiations". I suppose it comes down to the interpretation of what "in negotiations" actually meant. I have no idea and it is misleading, so you have to say it is poor from the club to have muddied the waters in this way. Shaun is a much loved figure at Town, so he deserved better. If he was always being released, then they should have said that.

What if Slade brings someone in better than Shaun Pearson? Is Shaun a top L2 player? There's no room for sentiment in this game.

Fenty should have told Slade to be more careful with this one out of respect for what Shaun has done for club and community.  I don't think this helps Slade endear himself to those fans who can't stand him.

Footballing reasons fair enough but they  have made a butcher's of this one.

Maybe it's time to come out and give an explanation to the Clubs LOYAL fans??!

The Heart ripped out of the Club over a couple of weeks. Lies about contract offers and negotiations!! To be quite frank, nothing that comes out of GTFC at the moment can be taken at face value. I would also suggest that you also think you are bigger than the Club and perhaps don't feel the need to explain??!!

The Club is absolutely urine poor at PR too. The way that these loyal players are being treated will no doubt cost the Club in ST sales too. Marketing is rubbish too, you could have planned those ST sales effectively like many other clubs to increase your sales too.

You have managed to destroy that 'Community Spirit' that has been built over the last 4 or 5 years!!

Time to 'grow a pair' and come out and explain, openly and honestly.

LIES, LIES and more LIES


We are loyal fans i agree but we don't need to know the ins and outs of all the negotiations for every player do we? Obviously Slade does not consider Pearson to be the be all and end all of his defence; season tickets sales will be fine when we get together a squad of players for a promotion push which is what Slade was brought here to do.

Yet another example to add the dozens of others where we will never be told the truth. It stinks!

It must be hard to take, you being such a die hard fan and all. What exactly do you want to be told?

What if he doesn't????


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.

Then he will be judged on his results, same as every other manager.

They had negotiations but couldn't agree anything so no formal offer was made. This scenario could easily have happened and means that nobody was telling porkies, nobody needs to be ashamed of themselves and we all wish Shaun all the best and move on.

Are you sure about Slade 'getting together a squad of players for a promotion push'?

He never has before!!!!!!
