Will always be grateful to the bloke for getting us out of that excrement hole Fenty put us in but he must have been very deluded to think Fenty would change thing when we got back in the league.
Little excrement though.

| 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. GOD |

Few fans of any of the clubs he has managed seem to have a good word to say about him. Boston, us, Shrewsbury, Ipswich. He's not going to win popularity contests with any of them.
Maybe that should tell something about the way he conducts himself.

Never liked him as a manager and was glad when he went. He was never going to excite 'us fans' in the way that some managers can. Too dour for me, and that is reflected in his teams. There are managers that win games, and there are managers that win games with a bit of style. He was all about the percentages, and managed to make a depressing time in non league, a little bit more interminable. It was ace watching us try, and fail, to break down Guiseley and the likes.
However, when we did get back into the league, i put all of that to one side and thought he'd earned the right to see what he could do with a bigger budget and better players. Our great board had other ideas though, and lost a decent manager to fecking Shrewsbury, because they wouldn't give him what he wanted, which was just to be on a par with other clubs our size. Never been as high in the table since, and it probably cost more in lower attendances, and the cost to terminate the contracts of 2 failed managers, than it would have done to just give PH a bit more backing. It's the GTFC way.

Never his biggest fan but I'm still here supporting the Mariners, we are still a Football League Club and what's he doing, oh yes looking after his garden.

Gave us a team to be proud of and that we connected with for the first time in many years. His players loved him. With a bit of commitment from the board we might have gone straight through league 2. We backed the wrong horses and spent the money after he’d left.
He’s a good manager and I’m sure he’ll be back in the game soon. Young bloke who I expect to manage in the prem eventually.

He is a nice bloke and a very good manager . He always had us challenging at the business end of the conference . Which given our leadership was nothing short of brilliance . He gave us a team to be proud of . Most players had songs dedicated to them . He gave us some great moments in a poor league . Had he been backed when we ee entered the FL he would of given us more great moments . Instead our board let 2managers urine away money and nearly get us relegated again ......... Alan Buckley wasn't loved by a section of our support which makes it no supprise that that same section didn't like PH . He brought success and a winning mentality back to the team . If the same supporters carry on beating up on Jolley he to will have his head turned and we will end up with another merry go round ..... All Imo of course

Managing in the prem ... after watching Ipswich I doubt that very much
