Please can you come out (not in that way or we'll be snookered) and please put to bed all these rumours. Let everyone know what's going on. I know you'll baulk at the idea, but please put us in the frame. This is your cue mate, call it an extension

To be fair, he can't say too much if he is talking with several potential candidates.

Give the guy a break 😃


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

If I was interviewing candidates for a management position, I certainly wouldn't be telling anyone what was going on. We'll find out soon enough.

I think the opposite of the OP. Carry on quietly and diligently doing everything to get the best man for this job would be my view. Far more prudent, diplomatic and professional to say nothing at present.

Just a simple statement along the lines of "Contrary to media reports, no one has been offered the manager's position at Grimsby Town. We are currently considering applicants and will begin interviews in due course" would do. It would lift the air of desperation that the earlier Brown news gave.

Be fair 38 of the applications were from Fishy members, 10 from school team sports teachers, 2 from the local sunday league and Slade - not a lot left even for Fenty to give serious consideration to

The boot may be on the other foot. Squarkus, sonik and all the other board members/relatives with pseudonyms might be looking for suggestions from The Fishy.

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.

Got up to about 4 minutes of that video and couldn't watch anymore  . Our club has been ripped apart by poor decisions on and off the field. excrement managers (minus Hurst), a backward thinking chairman with no business plan for the future. Hope I win the Euro lottery tonight cause Fenty would be gone!

Agree the video needs a thread of it's own. It's bloody good (and really sad).

Wow! Not seen that before. Is it all over Twitter? I was posted on 3 Feb.

Great work whoever produced it.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.

Great watch and it does deserve a thread of it's own.

Excellent.

We had the manager, we had the players. Then we threw it all away.
