Bury boss Kevin Blackwell slams Grimsby Town over efforts to keep Marcus Marshall

“what is kevin blackwell talking about, we want a 24 clause to recall a player, because we are short of players. so why would you then accept a fee from luton for the same player. Does he have any idea how pathethic he sounds when making these comments. The issue is, he promised Luton the player and tried to be underhand himself, which as backfired. deal with it, and next time check out the rules before accepting a fee from a club to sell him.”

“Justice

UTM”

“Money again seems to be the ruler here,Blackwell once managed Luton and Buckle is manager now..... little deal was going to happen with Marshy been the little gem and its now gone sour grapes for the two Lutonites...... well hard cheese!!!Marcus we respect you at Grimsby Town,stay with us lad and you will be rewarded in a loyal way.Utmm.”

“And another thing, Blackwell, if Scott and Hurst are doing business over a good player to benefit Grimsby Town when we're top with 19 games to go, it's not exactly a shocker, is it?

AND, I'd sack your legal advisors if I were you.

Wazzock.”

“Blackwell really is a plum, you put a clause in, you call him back, we say 'ok'. We find out Luton and thats not OK and Marcus didn't want to go anyway so end of that conversation. We're playing by the rules now in order to help our promotion ambitions.

You on the other hand are quite patheic, your crying about this clause becuase it gave you a fall back should you require a body, no problem with that. HOWEVER you recalled him not to be played but to be flogged and so meaning less players for you. As it stands the poor lad is in limbo, your lot are in a sulk and he can't come back here until the FA/Football League tell you to behave and leave him to go about his business.

On that end you are still a plum”

“Firstly, Blackwell, if you knew you were "short on numbers" when Marcus Marshall came to us, then why did you allow him to go in the first place? Secondly, ranting against the FA ("ineptitude") is surely similar to slating a referee (who is an FA employee), which is usually faced with some kind of sanction from the powers that be. Hopefully the FA have read this little hissy and are going to come down on you like a ton of bricks. You pillock!

Oh, and thirdly, I notice on your Wikipedia page, your listed as being born in LUTON. Clearly all you lot are the same”

“"When stuff comes in you're supposed to check it, aren't you?"

No, mate, YOU'RE supposed to check it before it goes out. If you loan a player, you stick to the rules. You've ballsed it up and you're trying to blame someone else. And our relations with other clubs are none of your business. Intercourse off, Blackwell.”

“Blackwell passing the blame as usual. He's been a failure at the majority of clubs he's managed, including Luton coincidentally. It is your and your clubs job to read and understand the FA rules and to adhere to them which you have shown with your ineptitude that you cannot do. Marcus has finally found a club where he is appreciated and where he is able to show his talent off so I'm not surprised he doesn't want to sign for tinpot Luton or stay with Bury who will be relegated this year. Next season Luton will be a distant memory and Bury will be looking up tithe Mighty Mariners. So I suggest Marcus has made the right decision and hopefully he'll be back in black and white before long. UTM”

“"shoddy" and "underhand" is writing in a clause that is not within the rules. I didnt think it was possible to recall a player on a season long loan with out mutual consent. Strong words for a mistake Blackwell himself has made. Has he never loaned out a player for a season before?

UTM”

“Blackwell has a duty to Bury FC and their supporters to know the rules of the FA. Under the circumstances he has let his club down and is now trying to blame GTFC. Sackable offence”
