Thanks very much and good luck to Danny Collins and the other released players.

Quoted from rancido



FWIW I think MJ would probably have liked to have let him go last summer but possibly didn't want to start the season without some experienced continuity in the centre of defence. Good luck to him in the future and thanks for all your efforts for the club.


I think theres quite a lot of truth in that Rancido, which includes using Woolford and Welsh as a sort of comfort blanket too as MJ was cutting his teeth in his first full season as a manager. If he's learned anything in the past year, it's that he's got to trust his instructions on the training ground with the younger players more and also pace and physicality will be more of an asset in this league rather than experience..

I think that last point is absolutely bob-on.

Good player and nice bloke. Hopefully he’ll play in conference or similar.


Agree, been an asset to the club. Can't see him getting a contract in the Conference as he will still be too slow for that level, and when your legs go, they just go for any decent level of non-league. Fully expect him to retire, walk into a coaching job somewhere and maybe a bit of footy on the side at Northern Prem level or similar..

He would give fatty McNulty a run for his money who turned out for Tranmere yesterday.

Good luck to the bloke
Gave his all every time he pulled on the shirt UTM


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.

I thought Hurst did a good bit of business when he brought DC in to the fold after we came up

Obviously in the three seasons that he's been here, he's provided us with a wealth of experience but this past season has shown that anyone with a bit of pace can now leave him for dead

So MJ has done right to release him but he can leave us with his head held high

I had a feeling that we might have even considered a coaching role to bring through what is still a relatively inexperienced defence that we have, but not to be

Hope it all works out well going forward.... he deserves all the plaudits from everyone here who have seen him give his all for Town
