Grimsby Town chairman John Fenty has likened Alan Buckley's managerial record to that of his Manchester United counterpart Sir Alex Ferguson.
Buckley returned for his third spell at the helm of the Mariners earlier in the month, and Fenty was delighted to be able to call upon the services of one of the most experienced managers in British football.
"Alan's record is phenomenal. He's one of the few managers that's done more than a thousand games and look at how many games he's had unbeaten," said Fenty.
"He fares right up there behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Joe Royle. Alan's actually third in line, so that's a real achievement."
