What I'm proposing is "what JF can do, if it's even possible for some to contemplate, to re-establish himself as an effective Chairman?" I'll go first seeing as I've posed the question, and I'll do it in one word. Apologise. Lets try keep criticism constructive and see if the pointers come into effect   "Take what you can, give nothing back"                                                                  - Capt. J.

This applies to playing side and stadium. FWIW I think the community stuff is not too bad but could be pushed more and be a bit more genuine from certain quarters, and by that I don’t necessarily mean JSF Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

A lasting legacy would of course be the new ground, or at very least a clear path forward on that front. 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.   ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

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. GOD

I dont love JF but I find this obsession too much. If someone is going to start another thread slagging  the non chairman off, can they at least name it as such so those of us not interested can make better use of our days. UTM

It is not in his nature to accept blame, acknowledge mistakes or invest in the things that matter, all of which would need to be done if any attempt was to be made at making amends. Neither can he work with anyone else for the betterment of the club or get new investment, so until someone somewhere buys him out we are stuck with it.
