Supposedly Arrogant and disliked. Personally found him very approachable. And did a very good job keeping us up. Wish him well

Liked him a lot.
Will probably go on to a promotion with Barrow if the board gives him what he need.
Good luck to him and I wish him all the best (except against us, of course).

Good luck to the bloke.
Despite everything he kept us up.


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.

Did a good job on a shoestring budget signed Elliot Hewitt who is having a good season despite our league position  brought quality under 23 players like embleton so good eye for a player, but just like every manager in the last 15 years had one hand tied behind his back money wise as honest john was a tight bast

It's  sad that 2 of the best memories I have since returning to the league are the first game back when we won 2-0 and the late winner Matt scored to keep us in the EFL. Jolley was the manager for the second of those and he was the new messiah for a while.

Course it all went to sh1t as usual, plus we let a decent striker in Matt leave for Newport, where he carried on scoring quite regularly. Sums us up as a club.

Good luck to Jolley.

One of two lucky decisions helped, but you make your own luck i guess

Always be grateful that a combination of him, Macca and Mitch Rose’s penalties kept us up.

Like many people who come to GTFC he got dragged down by a lack of ambition from the board.

Deserves a second shot I reckon.

Next time though he needs to stop his Mrs blocking anyone on social media that expresses an opinion she doesn’t like.

The most anti-football style of any manager I’ve ever seen at Town. Ultra negative style of play.

I’m not convinced it was a massive success in keeping us up that first season, we only got closer to the drop after he joined.

Also a nonce.
