Quoted from diehardmariner
Collins, Davies, Lester...seen someone suggesting Disley on Twitter.


Let's just wrap this up as quickly as we can, eh?

Wayne Burnett
Chris Hargreaves
Paul Harsley
Craig Shakespeare
John McDermott
Paul Groves


Feel free to add any ex-Town[b] player
because heaven forbid Michael Jolley thinks there's a supply of able coaches without a GTFC connection.


So you are quite clearly ruling out Alan Buckley or Laurie Mac as No 2 then.  Outrageous


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

No surprise I think, I would imagine we'll see his replacement early next week as MJ would have had his replacement lined up well before today.

I don't see it as good news, just inevitable news. Wilkie was on a hiding to nothing from the start. My suspicion is that he was JF's appointment with the hope that his popularity would help smooth the way for Slade. It never worked. As permanent manager he would have been another Neil Woods.

Paul is a good coach though, well thought of at all his clubs and by a lot of the young players he has worked with. But he is so damaged by association with the last regime that it's best he goes and gets a new start. Really he should have gone when Slade went, the fact that he didn't and was actively interested in the job for himself maybe showed they were not all that close.

I don't think it matters who Jolley brings in. My choice would be Sean Dytche.

If he's as good as Sean Dyche at Burnley he should have it down to a T.

Quoted from golfer
Several players have gone in to see M.J..  Paul Dixon and Sam Kelly have stood by Wilko and said  "If he goes we go"   M.J.  "Close the door on the way out, understand Shrewsbury sign ex G.T.F.C. players."


You missed out the words 'half decent' before the 'ex GTFC players'

positivity = jolley
negativity = wilkinson

not surprised and not really sad that he's gone. am sure jolley will have an interesting, enthusuastic, positive and innovative person lined up as his replacement. the revolution continues - vive la revolution!

Is Garry Birtles still doing radio in the Nottingham area?  He probably sees a lot of football at our level and wouldn't have to commute far (either car, either M1 or A52/A46/A16 or he could take the train, changing at Newark or Lincoln) and he played for us back in the day.  Champions League winner.  An experienced head.

First thing that I thought was, he’ll offer it to Danny Collins.....

Don’t think that would be a bad shout at all.

Lots stating that Wilko has a good reputation as a coach. Not sure that was true. Certainly not at Wednesday or Norwich where I am told his methods were described as "archaic"

We move on and see what the future holds

Perhaps we won't have an assistant and have more budget for players.  

Wonder how much it has cost to pay off Slade and Wilko?
