1 good half all last season. Can’t afford to be carrying people, unfortunately.

Presumably less than what it would’ve cost to have him sat at home all year.

Good luck to him, personally I think there’s a real player in there and I think he’d have been a good asset on the pitch but obviously there are other factors going on

Probably nothing, could be he's been offered contract at another club and rather than asking for a fee we've just terminated his contract to facilitate the move and get him off the wage bill.

Personally think he’s a good player. Hasn’t really worked out here though.

No loss. I appreciate last year was a flipping shambles until about February but even when he had a chance he looked alright, nothing more…

Best dead ball striker we had in a long while

Good luck to the bloke


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.

Absolutely dreadful free kick taker. Bar 1 his specialty was over hitting them and them sailing past the stand behind the goal.

Good luck to him, not surprised or disappointed he's gone, looked half decent at times, but had no bottle, hopefully it'll free up a wage to get our striker in.

Summed his time up when Hurst didn't name him on the bench for the final few games, despite the fact he was fit and we failed to list a full 7 subs.  Oh and some of the subs were youth team players.

Talent is nothing without attitude.  It may well be a result of his injuries, but if his attitude isn't right then he's no use to use (or anyone I suspect).

I can't help thinking there must have been some personal behind the scenes reasons why Hurst wouldn't play Williams and wanted him gone. He clearly has some talent. I recall the games at Orient and Mansfield last season when he looked a class above most on the pitch, but then he'd be anonymous or left out completely. Anyway, if Barrow can get the best out of him then it will be a win for everyone concerned. We move on.

I thought he could have been a decent player for us but it didnt work out. Would have thought he had the quality to shine in this league.

Hurst clearly didnt fancy him though. Hw saw him in training every day we only saw him occasionally in a Town shirt. You have go with the manager's opinion.

He lost his squad number and it was clear he wasnt going to feature under Hurst so best for all parties he has gone and hopefully the saving on the wage bill can go towards getting a forward/attacking midfielder in.

We still need 3 or 4 more signings imo. If its being help up because the likes of Rose and Morais are still on the books then hopefully they will get fixed up elsewhere soon.

I wish Williams well. He didnt appear enough to have really given reason to dislike him.

No chance he was on £2500. Green was our 2nd top earner and on less than that. He also signed in the covid pre-season, so I'd be surprised if he's on much more than £1k a week. I was told Scannell is on less than £1k, which seems very low.

Another player comes and goes without leaving any kind of impression. One of hundreds who will soon be forgotten, but unique in that no fans got to see him in the flesh in a Town shirt, along with a handful of others who will come to symbolise the worst season in living memory.

Hope this is the key that unlocks the deals to come.

It'd be interesting if someone could list ALL the players to play for us over the past 3 seasons, and see how many we can actually remember!

Covid Clause only relevant if the season has been curtailed. Otherwise pay as usual.

There are lots of Town players who’ve actually ‘earned’ absolutely nothing….but have been paid a small fortune.

Are there 2 George Williams? I think there must be from reading Barrow manager Mark Cooper's comments.

Quoted Text
"He can score goals out of nothing, he can dribble past people, score free kicks and he's an international who has real quality," boss Mark Cooper said.
