What if its too late by then?

What if we go off the league by Xmas and he's poached  away by a club higher up because the compensation figure is low? Look at when Wrexham boss Dean Keates was snaffled up by Walsall.... Wrexham were flying high, looked nailed in for the playoffs and then went on a massive downward spiral when he left!

Conversely, I understand the club but wanting to risk giving him a long-term deal only for it to go wrong but its a risk with taking IMO.

Fir me, MJ is an absolute gem and it won't be long before other clubs see it too!


Let's just give Jolley a 3 year deal and if it doesn't work out we all agree JF isn't to blame this time if it all goes pear shaped.

A wonderful gesture.

Achieved a miracle last season. Making great signings this summer. Comes across as a really positive, honest and sincere bloke.

This guy really is something special.

My only worry at the moment is what happens if the team go through a bad patch?  How long before some fans start saying we’ve got an inexperienced manager, or that it’s ok to be nice but we need a manager who is tough etc.

I really hope the fans give Jolley time to build something - the signs are great so far!

What I cannot understand for the life of me, is how the club has been quite unable to grasp these simple but crucial facts of life for so long. Compare and contrast the Boards behaviour at the infamous fans forum, to Michael Jolley's in dealing with the press, the fans and the players.


In a nutshell Lew. Very well put.

Fair point.No manager is perfect and Iam sure he will make some mistakes.However early signs are that he will make more good choices than bad ones.

I'm in good health but if Michael is ever in Prestwich I'll happily treat him to a few beers just to say thanks for starting to restore faith in our club after years of hurt and decline!

I don't disagree but if the worst should happen and we are about to be relegated or worse we actually go down, do we really stick with him because he's a nice bloke who is trying to build something?

Surely going back down into non-league is a hanging offence isn't it, Slade was slaughtered for letting us get into the bottom six

Jolley is currently setting the standard for ALL town employees in terms of effort and engagement. My only fear is that they’re going to flog him to death (those DVDs ffs) without learning any real lessons, and when the time comes that he’s not flavour of the month anymore (it will happen - we’re obviously going to have a poor spell), the club will struggle to keep enthusiasm up.
