It's not unheard of for players, and indeed managers, to go back to former clubs. The two often go hand in hand, ala Pearson, so it's not inconceivable that Amond could end up back here.

Like Groves and Buckley for instance.

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.

From the very first moment I saw Padraig  Amond I rated him. Comparing him to  Omar Bogle I thought Amond was better overall . Omar was ok techically and the more physical but I felt Amond looked the better technically.

As for resigning for Grimsby Amond could do a job in the conference especially more so if he has looked after himself physically .Haven't seen him play in a while so its hard to properly assess him.

No no no no no. FFS what is this obsession with ex players who are past their best. We had him for the best season of his career, now just let it go.

But you never loose quality of which Amond has some. He may be a bit slower but if he can get 20 plus goals and push Grimsby back to league status or be in play off contention this time next year you wont be complaining  . Whatever happens though Rancido its not going to be easy for Paul Hurst as players wages will be cut(heard often that from league 2 to conference wages are cut by 25%)  and added to that there is less status for Grimsby now being a non league club. Some teams though are lucky. If they have a rich owner in the conference they can pay league wages. Ive heard this for one from someone who has links to Stockport football club and he states there paying big money there eg in excess of £2,000 a week for some players.

I agree with this. Amond was never the sort of athletic player for us who relied on pace and power. Getting in the right place and having the striker’s instinct we’re his main attributes as I saw it.

Its history but I was sad to see him leave Grimsby. The board should have made more of an effort to keep him.

Remember seeing Amond in a pre season friendly the year he signed, can’t remember who we played against, maybe Peterborough or something?  But you could tell straight away he was going to score a truck load, his movement and anticipation was a level above anything we’d seen in years. Proper goal scorer.

By management I assume you mean the board and not Paul Hurst?
