It's as simple as that really. Despite a lot of criticism from me included, they've made an exciting appointment and have surely brought the fans together. The statement was also a very positive one, and if we stay up, we could be dragging ourselves in the right direction. Still a long way to go this seaaon, but a step in the right direction.

Indeed. Credit to the board for looking beyond the obvious. Exciting as it seems, we need to stay up but the blame for relegation won't sit with him, it will still be down to Slade and the people who appointed him.

Agree but it frustrates me that we're making a big deal of appointing a young up and coming manager when we signed a journeyman manager with a history of failure less than a year ago. Hopefully we've learnt our lesson now but then again I thought that about signing journeymen players when we left the conference.
Let's hope this appointment works out for all concerned and well done on the board for what looks like a sensible choice. However, the board has a long way to go to redeem itself.

Credit from me too. Not a fan of John Fenty as some of you may have noticed(!) but I am happy with this appointment.
I fully accept that no manager comes with guarantees but feel happier with Jolley than I would have been with some of the journeymen mentioned. Good luck to him as it is going to be difficult to turn around this sinking ship but survive this season then there is a great opportunity to put his stamp on the team for next term

Let's not get carried away. He's got a real job to do and it's a big gamble with our league status. It's clear he wasn't first choice for the job. They haven't arrived at this decision through tireless and diligent searching. They've made a mess and they need him to dig us out of it. He can't bring any players in becuase the board sacked a manager directly after a window.
That said I'm pleased with the appointment however it was made. He's clearly a well thought of coach and he's going to need to be as tactically astute as people say he is. His tweet to the fans is a cracker.

I'm not sure he wasn't first choice as no candidate really stuck out who we would go for . The two other front runners both had recent failures on their record and I'm sure the board will have looked at this . Jolley was the only candidate that gave anyone excitement and although it will prove to be either a turning point or a disaster the initial signs are as positive we've seen in many a while. Onwards and (hopefully) upwards. Gwon Town.

If Askey had given any sort of encouraging signs he would have been in charge last week. If Brown had given any sort of encouraging signs he would have been in charge the week before. Unless all that stuff about those two was a complete blind then clearly Jolley was not number one choice. Nevertheless, neither was McMenemy. I don't mind what number he was as long as he gets us some points asap.
