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.

You only have to look at the bottom of the table to see what can be achieved when you invest similar if not more money and get it wrong.

County have thrown money at it recklessly.....flash managers, flash players.....Lincoln havn't.  Lincolns biggest outlay over the past couple of seasons has been Matt Rhead butchers bill and a couple of key marquee signings.
They have a set system using players suited to it, everyone knows there job game in game out, they know what to do when they are winning and they know what to do when they are losing, plenty of last 10 minute turnarounds and securing points in injury time.

Yep. Well done Gimps. Shows you what can be acheived when you run a football club properly.

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

This.
Used investment wisely and look at the results.
Sadly we are light years away from them- both on & off the pitch.

I think the difference, though, is that no matter how much is invested into our team, we’ll never get 8,000 season ticket sales unless we’re in The Premiership. Lincoln has pretty much never had success before, so the city has gone football crazy. Grimsby has ALWAYS been a football crazy town, but loads of us remember pretty good times from the 90’s and earlier, making League 2 football only palatable to around 4,000 of us. I’m not sure how we could replicate what Lincoln have done really, other than get that stadium built. I think that’s the only way.

Mind you, you could possibly link Lincoln’s success stemming purely from their FA Cup run - maybe THAT’S what we need?

As a bare minimum, giving the manager a Top 7 budget has to be a prerequisite.

If Grimsby was such a football crazy town, why can I remember gates of 4k in the second tier?

I did say ‘football’ crazy, not necessarily Grimsby Town crazy.
