Yeah, thanks MJ for keeping us up when we looked doomed and for steadying the ship.
Good luck for the future.

Whatever peoples views on him now are, he does deserve credit for keeping us up when he first came in.
The repercussions if we'd been relegated to non-league again would've been disastrous.
After 6 years last time, I dread to think how long it would've taken us to recover and get back up again.....if at all.

For an appreciation thread a lot of the x men are out and about ( though Swin deserves his of course for his vitriolic swipe at MJ.....as Johnny Boy once said, just couldn't help himself ) My appreciation goes first and foremost to keeping us up after those dark days at the start of 2018... we were doomed until his efforts turned around the sinking ship with the icing on the cake being the Matt winner against Notts County Last season there were highs and lows... of course there would be with a club that lacks any real direction and ambition Against the odds though we had a great run in the cup.... a stand out performance in the first round and then two away days that allowed the travelling Black & White Army to express our passion for the club The home league game against Tranmere was a stand out for me too... struggled to get to the game but made it just after they'd taken the lead and then we put on a brilliant display This season's 5-2 at home to Port Vale was almost as good.... even during that game though there were cat calls questioning what MJ was doing. Maybe the writing was on the wall because he clearly never won over ALL the fans Chelsea away and the Matt Green goal will live with me for a long time...then his team followed up that game by claiming the last victory he would oversee. The FL team of the week award he got was richly deserved "In Jolley we trust" was something I bought into.... maybe I was looking through Black & White specs but I still believe there was better to come. We'll never know of course but for all those who wanted him on his way, as they say, just be careful what you wish for UTM GTID ATAW

Thanks Micheal Jolly for turning things around, I thank you for what you have done and wish you had a little more time. Wishing you good look for the future unless you play against us of course. UTM
I can't see him pulling his boots on in the future!

Had he turned it round that much. I thought his record of winning points was similar to Russell Slade.

Will always appreciate him keeping us up and away days at Palace & Chelsea but, in reality, the promised development hasn't happened and the seeming improvement in the squad hasn't brought the results that threatened.
I can't put my finger on what might have happened but I'm sure we'll soon find out. He hasn't been the club's best manager but he certainly hasn't been the worst.
Wish him well for the future.

We would be in the national league (probably North) if it wasn't for him

Michael Jolley's achievement of keeping us up in 2017-18 cannot, in my opinion, be overstated. When he took over, we looked like a dead team walking. We had done for months. To turn it round from the position we were in deserves enormous credit and continuing gratitude from all associated with our club. Had we gone back into non-league football again, I dread to think what the consequences might have been.
On a more personal note, some of the football I've seen from us in the past year or so (the 5-2 against Tranmere, the Palace cup game and others) have been a source of real comfort to me during some very difficult times. For that, I will always be grateful to him.
