I would be more inclined to see him go to Hull City as McGregor is going to Rangers and the Targers are skint also Steve Croudson knows all about James. |

Hate to say it but, Goodbye James. Deserved more but Club still being run like it's non league. Thank you for helping us get out of non league and your service for the past few years, know it wasn't always easy. Always be a Grimsby Town Legend. All the best for future. UTM

Radio Humberside lost all credibility for me on Saturday when Matt Dean asked on air if Michael Jolley was being paid.

Have heard;
Clifton isnt on a great deal with us and has other suitors lining him up.
McKeown weighing up his options.
Collins is on his way.
Also several other intruiging rumours involving former board members, court cases, inland revenue ...could be an interesting Summer.
Personally regards contracts....in all honesty...over the course of the season...i think there is only Summerfield who has consistently stood out....very few, if any, of the seasons squad have "earned" a new contract IMO. Hall Johnson i like the look of and he is still young so on what i have seen to date worth keeping.
Dembele i would extend if only for the fact that he has been catching the eye and now his first season is out of the way and under Jolley he may improve his end product, which will either help us open teams up and/or make him profitable come next January.
All the rest in all honesty have proven over a season that they arent good enough. The whole bunch lacks pace, power and guile for me so wouldnt be too sad if virtually none are kept on....its a darn pity we are gonna be stuck with some in reality.
Thanks for the 'have heard'. Regarding contracts - MJ has changed the 'whole bunch' from being natural relegation fodder to a competitive L2 team, though. You could argue logically that retaining the majority ought to see us safe from relegation (assuming we can find a goalscorer). Except we have a number of players for whom one more year might be one too many. I think we simply have to trust the manager....and be fair to him, we should recognize that this is an area where he's relying on instinct a fair bit. If he opts for a mass clearout that's fine with me, but if he thinks he just needs two or three quality (at this level) players to help bring out the best from what he's already got - I'd trust him on that too. I worry that some of his plans may get hampered/thwarted by boardroom-level distractions/inertia. (I had that worry before I read what you put btw.) As you said, an interesting summer seems likely... |

Imagine of Macca and Clifton both leave us, would be another GTFC intercourse up, similar to the Podge and Pearson fiasco
Clifton was rightly on a lowly paid contract, as a young pro with no first team experience. I expect him to be offered a substantially increased contract and for him to stay. Where is he going to go on hugely better money, with a manager who rates him and where he will get terrific support from the fans. Macca"s different. IF he is being offered £2-3k per week and a 3 year + deal then he has to seriously consider it. Town should not IMO, be paying anyone £150k pa to play in the 4th division. If he goes, he goes with thanks. It wasn't too long ago when many in this board were saying they would retain him but only as back up to a new number 1 who can dominate his box! Since he came back from injury ( many said he wouldn't play again this season) he has been in the best form of his life. There weren't many saying give him a 3 year deal pre Christmas. After the last few weeks I have genuine hope that Jolley will get a team that is well organised, knows their roles and responsibilities and plays at a high tempo. If he can do this we will challenge for the play offs |

Why do some people think we're too good for some of the players we already have (ie summer field) we are Grimsby town. We are not massive and got loads of money. Summer field would be a good player for any team in this league with his effort and work rate alone.

Gonna be an interesting summer by the looks of it, if the board backs the manager can see decent season ticket sales this summer who would have thought that a couple of months back..
First contract offer should be to get MJ on a 3 year contract got the feeling he could do something special here.
Its a tough one, a rolling 6 month contract in theory never ends unless 1 side of the party wants it to and ends it. 3 year contract short term is good because more often than not you've tied that manager down for 2 years, no one will try steal a manager with more than 1 year on his contract. |

Don’t think Clifton will go but having said that other clubs have definitely enquired/looked at him recently so we need to be on it and tie him down for longer , Macca on the other hand if those sort of wages are being offered he’s gone imo |
