Two defensive member-ups, two goals.
A bit difficult to know how to react, really. On the one hand, it's always nice to see Dirty Leeds lose, but on the other hand, I'm not happy about Hearn's dishonesty with his public comments when still at the club and apparent attempts to engineer a move away at the start of last season.
I'd imagine he'll do OK at Mansfield until he gets injured again. Just hope he doesn't score against us on Friday night!
I tend to agree with this opinion on Hearn. Fenty must be miffed - the club/Fenty paid for both his operations. "I need to be closer to home" Nottingham is what 2hrs tops away from GY by car? It's not even far.

I hope he isn't booed on Friday, but equally i do not see any reason he should receive messiah adulation, after all we paid his wages for nearly two years when he was injured and it looks (although obviously no-one can be sure) that he was planning on the Mansfield move for some time, despite his comments about maybe returning to us. Great player for us for a year, but he isn't our player anymore, so polite indifference from me.

Halfway through his 3 year contract he moves away from Grimsby,
All he wanted to do was play his football around the Nottingham area,
Fair enough if that what he wanted to do,
BUT
He should have come clean and ask for a transfer,
Then we might have got some money for him,
AND
He might have not got injured for the second time,
Yes he did well for the best part of his first season ( don't forget 0 goals in his first 10 games )
That cost us 3years salary,
I will not be at the game on Friday but if I was, I would not boo him,
I would not cheer him either,

I'll be there Friday, and although it will play on my mind what he did to us, I will say nothing and let it go. I just hope we beat them and Hearn doesn't score. UTM

He is a tw@t, never wanted to play here, never wanted to come back for pre-season training, so why say it ?
i appreciate what he did in his first season, and what a player he was.
but like Hatton, and Rodman, i wont forgive them what they did/say
So you expected him to turn down a league contract for a trial at a non-league club?

How much did Peterborough offer us?
What happens if we get an offer of say £100,000 for someone else? Lesson learned... sell?

I remember when Buckley stole all those players from us all those years ago. Iirc his first game back was one of those great atmospheres that only blundell park can bring. The look if sheer disappointment on his face at full time (and the abuse that 'fans favourites' Gilbert, Rees et al received) brought to bare that all we are concerned about is our mighty mariners. Players come and go, but the club will always be etched on our hearts

He then had the cheek to say he wishes he never left grimsby and if he had the chance to change what happened he would. I highly doubt it. I'm sure the money west brom paid him off with on its own would be enough to buy a substantial house.
As for liam hearn I can't see the problem. He wanted to leave well before the end of his first season, we just wouldn't let him. I would have been drunk off if we'd have sold him for 100k

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |

Not sure how much Peterborough offered, but makes me think back to when Bristol City offered 300k for Michael Reddy, boom hip injury, 300k value lost. Probally 400k+ lost through fate, and no better off in the short, or long term. Fenty might think twice about holding on to players who could probally fetch a price in the future...?

Nobody begrudges him moving to a league club, but he should have been honest about his intentions from the start instead of misleading our fans who were nothing but supportive of him. His underhand tactics to engineer a move to Mansfield while airing public platitudes about wanting to earn a new contract at town to repay our support were unforgivable. If I was able to go to the game on Friday I wouldn't be booing him, but I certainly wouldn't be clapping or cheering for him either.
Underhand tactics? intercourse me. He hardly brought down the Government. He made sure he kept all possible options open to him for the future. Would you have honestly done anything different in your job?
