The position were in now, I can't see how we can keep slade for another 3+years?!
He might as well sack him now hadn't he. 3 more years......


Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong  
Update:  I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly

Actually that is a good call I think - using Buckley as a consultant in the recruitment of a new manager.

Is it? I agree keeping our non-Chairman miles away from it is a great idea but what qualifies Buckley to do it?

Slade had his day, so did Buckley, but Buckley's day was so long ago it was before any of the players were born.

Let me tell you, there isn’t a single person that follows Grimsby that is a bigger fan of Alan Buckley than what I am. He is my all time favourite person in football. A player that idolised from when I was the age of 4, where I watched him score goals for for fun at Fellows Park for fun. As a manager at Walsall to. Then when my parents moved us to Lincolnshire, we started to watch Grimsby, then to my delight he became Grimsby’s gaffer.

But can I just say right here and right now, I categorically would not want Alan as our long term manager again. Absolutely not.

However, since the team is the team now for this season, if Slade got the bullet, I would have no problem at all with Alan steadying the ship for a while, in a caretaker capacity, why we go in search of a new permanent manager. Whether that be a two week spell or even until the end of the season. However long it takes so the board don’t rush the next appoint. But absolutely not a permanent role for Alan.

You're asking what credentials Buckley might have in judging a good manager, yeah?
Would he be a better judge than Fenty? I'm talking about him having a consultative role.

Yes I am asking that. He has never appointed a manager before and hasn't worked in professional football for pretty much 10 years. He hasn't really worked successfully in football for pushing 20 years. He'd be a better judge than Fenty but that list of people wouldn't be a short one would it?!

I understand what you're saying but assuming Slade gets the sack sometime soon, then might Buckley have some knowledge about successful management to impart to present GTFC employees, who will be responsible for hiring a new manager?

Give the job to Ben Davies until the end of the season with help from Collins,

At the very least we would try and play proper football,

You never know they might be the future.

They can not do any worse and it would not cost Fenty much extra cash

Why don't we act like a professional club and pay somebody who has recruited managers successfully to find us a proper manager with a proper plan? I have great respect for Buckley and Davies but we need to start doing things like a proper business would.
