I expect you to stay up comfortably. I think John Fenty's got it right at last. He certainly gave the supporters the man the overwhelming majority (of those who gave an opinion) wanted. Fenty fiddled while GTFC burned in 2010; he has acted decisively this time.


With respect Roker he has acted at least 2 months too late! i think most GTFC fans knew we were in trouble by early January.

I didn’t expect any other outcome today. A point would have been nice but I didn’t expect one.

Monday is the start. Michael will have a tough job on his hands, but I think we will stay up. It would be nice if he can get a new tune out of this seriously out of tune piano. But in all honesty I am not sure he will. But I’m still confident we will stay up, not because of our own improvements, but because there are some equally shocking teams as us down there with us.

Monday is the start, and I look forward to seeing how he approaches the task.

I know sodomist all about Paul Wilkinson as a coach, as I’ve never seen him work. But I suspect that Paul will be on his way and that Michael will want to put his own team in place.


Jolley is a brave man taking this lot on. He must have a lot of self confidence.

However, unless he can get us scoring and quick we have had it. We are the worst form team and have no strikers. We don't have a creative central midfielder and we concede 2 or 3 most games.

A new outlook and formation / tactics might give us a boost, but with the tension increasing as each match comes round it is a big ask.

I agree, new start on Monday.

I didn’t go today, but I think we know where the issues are. I’d definitely find a place for Suliman, Vernam and Dembele. Clifton and Davies too, if fit.

I’d like to see 3 at the back, but the rumours are that Jolley prefers 433. So, I’d go with:

                          Mckeown

Davies/RHJ   Suliman     Collins       Mills

           Clifton      Rose/McAllister     Summerfield

         Dembele     Vernam       DJ

Why not?!!


Better than what Wilkinson picked today. I would add Wilks to that line up in place of Dembele.

Still another 3 to 6 weeks away


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Yeah he was very quick in getting rid of Slade when it was obvious we needed to and subsequently getting a new manager in. Jesus Christ.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

I would swap these two over today showed that even though he would do a job Mills isn't suited to the left

I would love to know exactly what Jolley's brief is

Is it

1) avoid relegation at all costs (after all the last incumbent was sacked because under him we were in danger of relegation - no point in changing managers otherwise)

1a) mid table in Div 2 next season

1b) playoffs or better in Div 2 next season

1c) playoffs or better in Div 2 in 3 seasons

2) get us back into the FL first time if the worst should happen (we surely can't afford to be down there too long and if he gets a totally new squad in this Summer why not?)

3) build slowly and methodically hopefully with youngsters coming through to achieve FL status again in the same timescale it took Hurst (can we wait that long)

At what point will Jolley be regarded as having passed or failed his objectives?

Or would it be simpler to ask what has Fenty asked him to do and / or what has Jolley said he can achieve?
