Law. With Grimsby suffering relegation to League Two a few months later, Law lost his job, and in stepped Russell Slade. On 5 June 2006, Rodger would finally get his break, and was appointed as the club's full-time manager, when Slade departed to join Yeovil Town. However, his managerial career was not a happy one, and after a poor start to the season he was sacked on 5 November after five months in charge, with Grimsby hoping for promotion, the club found itself in the bottom third of the table. His replacement was to be Alan Buckley who in turn brought Rodger back to then club again as the Sports in the Community Officer, a previous position he had held from 1999 to 2001. Former Town midfielder Gary Childs was also given the same job. On 6 July 2017, he was appointed as chief scout for Grimsby.
