Can anyone ever remember a time when GTFC fans would have been thrilled with the appointment of a manager with no experience of managing in English league football?

The 9 months of Slade have ripped the guts out of any positivity created by a promotion that's less than 2 years ago. It begs the question to the board ' WTF were you thinking?'

Good luck Michael - you've got one hell of a job in front of you, completely created by the board's previous appointment.

He does have experience of managing in England, he was the manager of Burnley's under 23s


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

Bournemouth fans could have said the same thing about Eddie Howe when he was appointed when they were in L2 below us. That didn't work out too badly for them.

As I say Ron, not knocking him one bit. Consider where we were a year ago though and look what damage has been done since.

I'm hoping he will do fine and the board will have lucked in.

He's pretty much untried and there's no much chance he'd have got another job in the league at the minute. We are totally desperate and have had to take a chance.

We need a miracle worker to stay up and if we do then Jolley is that man,

Most people quite rightly saying we have to beat Barnet and Chesterfield to have any hope plus Port Vale next week,

Well we have only won 4 home games up to now so to win 2 or 3 of our last 5 will be a miracle.

Good luck Michael you will need it mate.

I think we can all agree he has a massive job on.

I am not sure we can stay up with the players we have available. The squad needs almost a total  clear out and start again from scratch. It may be that the rebuild will happen in the conference rather than L2. I hope not, but Slade and Wilkinson have destroyed our prospects. the pair of them should never darken out doors again.

Every manager has struggled under Fenty. He is the only constant in the whole sorry saga and until he goes we will always struggle.

If Jolley performs a miracle and keeps us up, which I doubt bearing in mind the players he has inherited, Fenty will take the plaudits and the heat will be off him until the next time. He might even be carried shoulder high from the pitch at FGR.
