Clements played in most games after he joined us that first season. Even under Slade when we had a stupid number of central midfielders on the books.

In fact, he had played in most of Mansfield's games before he joined us as well - not to mention most of their games the previous two seasons!

We must just have tried to get rid of him due to the level of his wages. See also Osbourne and Jones.

I'd imagine he'll stay at FGR where his wages demands are probably considered quite reasonable!

Clements would of been a better option then Berrett in my opinion and he does get goals from midfield aswell.

Maybe he would have - but I think we're better off with neither than either or both.

The best part of his game was getting in front of the ball and into the box. He got some useful goals which made it all the more surprising he was let go on loan. I’d have thought Slade would have been grateful for  goals from anywhere. But really the lad was just not value for money was he? We can do better.

I like Clements as a player, however I can imagine he doesn't fit in with Jolley's vision of the club.

If the man REALLY wanted to feature for Grimsby he would've made it publicly known.

Like Asante did.

Personally, rightly or wrongly, I thought RS man management or the handling of some of the players was awful.  I don't know the ins and outs, and for all I know Asante could have been a bad apple, but he never had a chance, shame really as from the brief appearance he looked decent.

Slade was the bad apple. Osborne and Clements should have been managed. They weren’t. They were hung out to dry by a bullying old  PE teacher.


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!!!!!!!!!

It was all about getting the bigger earners off the books and coasting 'til the end of the season. Trouble is, we got rid of too many and were left with no flair whatsoever and nearly paid the price. I'm now glad Slade fooked up, because it meant he has gone, never to return, and i think the whole Slade episode may well be the catalyst that finally make the club take a long hard look at how they do things. It should do anyway, but i'm not counting my chickens just yet.
