Grimsby Town 2000–01 football season
During the 2000–01 English football season, Grimsby Town F.C. competed in the Football League First Division .
The 2000–01 season saw a boardroom change with Doug Everitt taking over from Bill Carr. Everitt dismissed manager Alan Buckley just two games into the season,[ 1] replacing him with Lennie Lawrence , who earlier in his managerial career had guided both Charlton Athletic and Middlesbrough into the top flight.[ 2] The new manager chop and changed the playing squad around and brought in some expensive loan signings from abroad such as Zhang Enhua , Menno Willems , David Nielsen and Knut Anders Fostervold . Despite this, the club struggled to avoid relegation, only securing their place in Division One on the last day of the season with a win over promoted Fulham .[ 3]
