Do we know for certain Brown was offered the job? It was just a rumour at the time.

Anyway who cares?!


No we dont...pure speculation...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

They must have put someone in fear of his job then. Isn't that what usually happens when the BBC speculate?  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I think Jolley is our bright star for the future not only in managing GTFC but being involved in the running of the club. The future is Jolley well  Black and White.

It’s hardly “pure speculation” when both parties agree they’d met and the manager in question has said he was offered it.
The club said they didn’t make him a “formal” offer, that doesn’t mean they didn’t ask him if he’d do it till the end of the season as Brown has suggested.

That was my point. Unless there is a bright star out there, that we can land right now, we should stick with Jolley and offer him a proper contract now.

I don't think the current board have got the sense to see that though. All they'll think is 'we don't know what league we'll be in yet' and not consider they could offer Jolley the job at £x if we go down, and £x+ if we stay up.


What makes you say Jolley doesn't have a proper contract right now? I thought it was announced as a 6 month rolling contract. I can't see how he'd get sacked even if we did go down, and he says he wants to stay. I would imagine there's a clause in his contract dictating the salary based on what level we're at. That's normal in any contract in football, unless you're bonkers like Sunderland

We will probably still have the same board regardless.

Fair play to Jolley in getting a tune out of a really struggling side, but do you honestly think the board will provide the required backing?



Well Accrington have proved you don't need a big budget, just an astute manager and I think Jolley might just be that kind of manager.

They also have an excellent owner and are exceptionally well run. Can we say that about Town?

I was alluding to the subject of backing , which I think is there. We find ourselves in our current position because Slade misused his budget but I do admit that there are many parts of the running of the club that are poor.

Well, our PR has improved in the last fortnight due to it being 'on the pitch'.
