A mention for Macclesfield surviving from what appeared to be an impossible position and well done also to Sol Campbell who many wanted (and expected) to fail

You could see the difference Campbell made when Macc came to us after his appointment, completely different team, harder to break down moved the ball better then we did that day and their movement off the ball was superb.

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Yep, I’ll hold my hands up to being completely wrong about him. A couple of Town fans shouted “Well played Sol” to him on their way out after the Macclesfield home game. Impossible to disagree with the sentiment. Brilliant job. And they weren’t being paid.

Great job
Buckley said on RH one of the best teams he saw at BP
Proved I think that he just wanted a break in the game - not exactly top of your list for managerial jobs

You don't think he's done well then? Frankly I'd consider it a success if Town finished 22nd every year rather than 23rd or 24th (ask Yeovil or Notts County supporters hwo they would feel) Some clearly find it hard to admit but Campbell has done a very good job |

To be honest I don't give 2 fcuks about Sol Campbell or Macclesfield...I care about Grimsby Town Football Club, end of!!...what your aiming at is a back door way of piling condemnation on Jolley as every poster in here knows you have no time or a decent word for the man...you'd rather praise an opponents manager than your own...sad, sad times in afraid . |

Absolutely not, total balderdash. I simply want to point out how a man who virtually every fornicator on here was deriding and slagging off as a no hoper saved a club from almost certain relegation. He deserves some praise but of course fornicators like you are too pig headed or stubborn to admit it. You will find I praised Jolley when we avoided relegation (although our position was never as desperate as Macclesfield's) and if he ever achieves anything else I will praise him for that too |

You don't know me and thank fur the lord I don't know you...you are the most unpleasant man(I use that term so very loosely) I have had the displeasure of sharing a forum with...
Why, as a Grimsby Town fan would I openly praise the opponents manager when all I want us the best for my club...I don't care for other teams, managers, clubs, if others are doing well, then good for them but I will not take the time to praise them on what is a forum for GTFC fans and supporters...
So pig headed, far from it, stubborn is way off the mark and a fornicator?... absolutely at every opportunity when the wife lets me, which if yours did maybe you wouldn't be so poisonous!!!

I thought Sol was a bit of an oddball and it was an experiment that would last marginally longer than his spell at Notts County. But he's done a cracking job, fair play!

I know you Jeff and I also know Swin would you like me to introduce him to you if we are all at the same game ? He is not like most on here think he is because he is a really nice bloke and my 10year old granddaughter likes him too, Oh he is an author she said when I showed her Swins book he can sign one for me too  Luna thought he was giving them away when I said he was going to sign my copy. |

He's ground lots of draws out so he's toughened them up for sure but surely Yeovil's no wins/4 points gained in the last 11 games of the season is the biggest factor in why Macc stayed up.

Pete, I'd have no issue meeting Swin but I do take umbrage to personal insults... To Swin, I meant no personal defamation and if I have caused offence I openly apologise but when backed into a corner I come out fighting...and I felt that calling me and many others stubborn, pig headed fornicators over stepped the mark if common decency |

4 points from a possible 33 is definitely a major factor, didn't realise it was that bad  |

Well said, Ipswin just likes to moan about the best team in the World. VAR rules. |

Must admit I thought Sol was a bit of an egocentric nutjob with his talk the other year about being unfairly treated. Whatever the demerits of Yeovil and their hand in Macc's survival, Macclesfield still ended above Notts County who would probably have 3 times the budget if they just spent what they could afford based on attendances (let alone additional money pumped in).
Great acheivement.

I don’t think people on here were calling him a no hoper at all. Deluded, arrogant, self obsessed, massive chip on his shoulder, absolutely. But not a no hoper. I think he has done a good job, but as someone else as pointed out, if it wasn’t for Yeovil self combusting after Christmas, he would have taken them down. |

I must say it makes a pleasant change to have a successful youth. Academy to draw on if needed. Neil Woods as done an outstanding job here. So MJ if needed can use and utralise this brilliant resources. Yep MJ will need some talent expirenced players but now you can see we are building from substantial foundations. This season could be good.. UTM. Always.

Judging by some of the things you have said on this subject then you don't come over as particularly pleasant yourself. Just an observation. |
