Good luck to the bloke. Sure he gave his best whilst in a Town shirt so I for one wish him all the best. He's done what is best for him and his family I'm sure everyone on here would do the same if they wouldn't they are idiots.

Can't blame him for getting the best deal for himself and his career. If staying in/at Grimsby was the only honourable decision none of us exiles and former exiles would have left home.
Having said that, I can't help feeling that, like the Shop, he's taking a bit of a risk.
Good luck Maggers.

Gutted came home from work when i found out he's left, been waiting to see if he has signed. I can't blame him moving closer with his family in the north east he will be a tough player to replace with the ease that he had played at RB and LB and could also play CB aswell real diamond of player.
I thought he was the best LB in the league when he played against us for Gateshead, and when he got released i thought we could do with him and PH signed him just a shame he never signed a extra year i know 2 year deals can fail like say a Joe Colbeck or Paddy with no disrespect to them but he's a huge loss.
But his RB position hopefully could be vacated by say Tom Miller if we where able to get him, but we still need cover for LB now.

Superb, sad to lose him but time to move on, that's football

Actually thinking on he's better than Hartlepool is he "selling himself" short?

Bit of a strange one this - Carl has performed so well this season that the Town fans have voted him player of the year, and he is so well appreciated.
So to end up at Hartlepool (which to be fair) is a poor club, probably further away from Leeds than Grimsby - best of luck with that - sad for the lad.

well he did say the club he was talking to was so much smaller than Grimsby. He's gonna have an interesting time explaining that one away to his new fans.
Whatever happens, I wish him the best, unfortunate interview aside, he seemed to give everything he had to the cause, and you cannot ask more than that really

He did say that he was moving back to Durham to be near his family.

Perhaps Durham City might sign him next season or Spennymoor / Bishop Auckland / West Auckland / Billingham S. If Premier League players thought like this, there would be no one in it.

It's a no-brainer for him really. Moving back up to be nearer his family, pretty much no commuting involved at all, Durham is a nice area, the Pools are in the Football League and he'll probably be earning more than he would have done here.
Normally, I don't think anybody would do anything but wish him well, but the comments on the radio last week left a bit of a nasty taste for me as it seems to me he was trying to publicly manipulate the club to try and get more money elsewhere.
Don't care about what he does now as, unlike some former players, we'll not be playing against him next season.
Just hope that Hurst can sort us out a replacement as capable as Robertson has been on our left.
