Jolley sacked

But was Macca ill?, maybe it will all come out later in the week. Something isn't right in the Camp, especially with Jolley walking on his own, and Limbrick staying. We may never know, but it wasn't just about the results.

Told by a good source that he was ill

Quoted from Northbank Mariner

Just makes me wonder whether Macca was really ill or if something had gone on with MJ...
Have the players vocalised their frustrations through Macca?? .. summation I know but I'm convinced there's more to come out rather him being sacked...

Cant have been that bloomin ill. Saw him in Morrisons a couple of days later, peeing down rain, freezing cold wearing shorts and tshirt.

Quoted from mariner91

Bignot managed a team to 19th in the National League North last season after getting Chester relegated and finishing 23rd in the National League the season before. If that's the calibre of manager you expect us to have then God help us. I doubt Jolley or Bignot will ever manage in the FL again, they were both just not up to it.

My point was not about what either Bignot has gone on to do since leaving us or what Jolley may go on to do now he has departed. My point was they didn't get the chance to finish what they'd started. That is what is important here. I'm not interested in where a potential manager comes from like you perhaps might be with your "calibre" comment. I'm interested in what people can do and whoever is appointed getting a proper opportunity to show. Bignot never got it and Jolley has been axed prematurely. That should be clear to anyone who doesn't have an axe to grind.

I don't think that either of them would have "finished" what they started because we were going backwards and there didn't look like there would be any improvement.  Unless by finish you mean relegation!

I will start this with ALLEGEDLY.....MJ was touting himself for the Lincoln job a few weeks ago, the club got wind and a parting of the ways was agreed. Apologies if this may have been in the previous 20 odd pages.

What pisses me off is that the club are taking us for fools. If something’s gone on then don’t try and pass it off as due to “a poor run” we aren’t stupid - we haven’t played for how long!

Does it really matter why he's gone? He's gone and that's the end of it. If someone gets the sack at work they don't have to go round and explain it do they?

It's obvious that the style of play and players body languish that it's not working and it looks like Jolley couldn't change it. What more do you want?

Might as well close the thread and not discuss or speculate anymore then!

What ever the reason Jolley has gone maybe (I doubt we'll find out ofr a long while), I just hope whoever does come in does three things. One plays some sort of attacking football, whether its fast passing like Crewe or quick counter attacking like Liverpool. Two, keeps playing the youth players that are in and around the squad and doesn't force them out come transfer window time and three leaves someone up top when we are defending corners and freekicks to give us an outlet when we are successful.
