Not followed this at all but Clarke didn’t owe Grimsby anything. He came at Christmas and gave us half a good season. He’s a good player at this level and wanted more money than we could offer in uncertain times and at the back end of his career.

No need to be rolling out the red carpet for him when he comes back with Bradford, but no need for any bitterness either.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner
I'm actually quite p!ssed about this... Ollie gave him an olive branch to get his career going again, albeit in his twilight years. He's tarnished any adoration as a town fan I had for him,


Adoration?!?!

Makes me wonder how strongly you felt about the likes of Futcher, Groves, McDermott, Mendonca etc?

He played well for us while he was here. No problem with him leaving, although I would have liked him to stay. But that’s life. Good luck to him, we move on.

He will be forgotten by the start of the season.


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.

Think he lives in Menston which is out north of Bradford so will be great for him on a personal level. Liked him and thought he was a proper player but don't begrudge him the decision or doubt Ollie's ability to bring in as good if not better.
