Perhaps the club as such wasn’t sold Holloway. Let’s not forget, he did say that he thought Fenty knew what he was talking about the club is one of the best run clubs...surely even Holloway can see that’s just hyperbole and nonsense.

Holloway wanted to be back in the game after pretty much a disaster at Millwall...we provided that. What boggles my head was the need to put in 100k unless that was simply to provide him and the club some weird sense of security. I guess we’ll never really know though.

It may seem crazy to you, but maybe Holloway actually agrees with trying to run a football club sustainably. However bad he was in his last job, he has achieved enough in football that he didn't need to come to Grimsby Town to build a reputation, and he could have got a lot of jobs at a higher level. We should be grateful that he's here, not cynically questioning his motives.

I think that Holloway is actually on the same wavelength of how to run a club and thinks that if he can bring some success and money into the club then he can help direct how to spend it to take the club forwards.

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.

Don't think it will all end in tears as there will definitely be two worse teams than us.

He's gone a different way in trying to solve our problem with all these loan players, it's not quite working yet but looking at some of the players he's signed I'm still hopeful.

What's the problem well it must be the budget, several managers have alluded to various budgetary issues over the year.

Frankly we are bottom division cannon fodder, we've not troubled the top half of division 4 in well over a decade  now, shamefull for this club quite frankly. Not all these managers over the last 15 years can be this shite.


This ^ My personal feeling is we're lucky to have Holloway. There is something that is engrained in the club that has made it stale and it isn't hard to work out. Coronavirus hasn't helped anybody at the present moment but I always thought it would take IH a couple of seasons at least to get us going....and I believe he will with the right backing.

Normally I’d agree but he’s put a few Bob in so may last slightly longer before it blows up

Nothing to stop him resigning as the Manager but staying on as a member of the Board, or even as a Director of Football

I don’t think he cares that much about money. Strikes me if he’s unhappy or feels he’s banging his head against a brick wall, he’s the sort of person to change his situation.


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.
