I’ll never forget the sight of fenty being carried around the pitch at Bournemouth thinking he was billy big time . All I was thinking was you’re a t.wat .

And I still think that

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.


The board are the ones who appointed them. It is there bad decisions over the years that have dragged this club down to this level. 3 of the directors have put next to sodomist all into the club. They along with the one who has put money into the club. the decision maker have ripped the heart out of the club I love. I will never forgive them for this. The day they leave this club will be the day that GTFC will be able to look forward until then these idiots will carry on destroying the club. It feels like it is deliberate to me.

Nothing to add - the day that Fenty, Day, Marley & Chapman have nothing to do with running GTFC cannot come soon enough.

Quoted from MuddyWaters
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.

Not me I was in the stands shaking my head in disbelief. Not at the fans who were joyous, but in Fenty in putting himself in that position. That one instance tells you all you need to know about the mindset of the man.

Possibly not, but every time the job is vacant there's dozens of people on here and social media clamouring for people like Disley, McDermott, Stockdale, B.Davies, Collins etc etc.

So there will have been plenty delighted had people like that got it.

For me, whether they've managed in the Football League is not as important as the man you're getting.
What's his playing philosophy, coaching philosophy, mindset, man management, what's he like as a coach, can he set a team up to win a game, is he tactically clever and able to implement ideas, etc etc.

If you think someone's good at the above, is it important that he's managed in England before?

Jolley might excel at all those things I've mentioned. He might not. But there's probably plenty of Managers we could've appointed with FL experience who might fall short in several of the areas I mention.

We'll see.

If memory serves me right he has either an A Licence or a pro Licence so he’ll know how to build session plans and coach, he also talked about environment on that Sheffield TV thing so he clearly recognises the importance of how it feels to be a Town player. Looking at the clip where he talks through how his side beat Malmo he thinks about game plans and set up.

We’ll see if he has the skills to build a side on a small budget and the emotional intelligence to influence hungry and honest players to sign for GTFC
