Quoted from nightrider
Jolley will be gone by next week, we'll be relegated, in 18months he'll be managing another team who'll be top of the conference, Town will be mid table and the fans will be wishing we still had him in charge.....

The club's copulated, the way were going we'll be changing the manager every year at this rate


The good old 6 month rolling contract has saved us a few £'s in the last year. See Fenty does know what he's doing!!!

How many targets of Jolley's wish list did he get though?

My guess is he was given a meagre amount and told not a penny more.

That leaves no room to negotiate for that decent striker for instance hence the need to try different tactics.

Looks like Jolley will need to find another rabbit at least he SHOULD get time to do that.

Quoted from dapperz fun pub


I don’t think it matters to much tbh, I’m reliably told that training is modern interesting and structured but that’s all well and good but if the players lack quality.  He should be getting more out of them for sure but I’d like to see the wage bill compared to others in our league I think we’re lower end but please put me right if it’s not the case


Sums it up for me. Yes Jolley should be getting more out of the players but equally these guys need to walk the walk! They are professionals and need to come off the training pitch every day having tried to be the best player at training, then transfer it to a match day. All of them have to be aiming for the Man of the Match award before the game starts. Dominate their opponent, be the best player on the pitch, not looking around to see who will bail them out if it doesn’t go well.

Said it previously but MJ believes our budget is at best, in the 4th quartile. Puts it in perspective a little.

Batten down the hatches and let’s hope we give it a real go on Saturday, not to keep it tight, not to stay in the game until the last quarter, but try and blow them away from minute one!

If MJ is right it'd be bloody risky, and probably pointless sacking him now. Moving deckchairs on the Titanic.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

How do you know this? Has he said this publicly?

Not casting aspersions at all.

Yes its a poor run of results and difficult to see were the next goal is coming from, let alone the next win  But if we sack Jolley who comes in? another journeyman manager who will say all the things that Jolley said.
Let's not forgot like Pete said most were happy with the appointment of Jolley and his signings, not so long ago people were calling for Fenty to extend jolley's contract before another club came in for him.

At present I am on the fence at the moment.

And, as Pete says, yes the majority was behind jolley and happy with the appointment but here we are, 9 games in and ask yourself, what has achieved...?..
Killed the optimism by saying we needed to kerb our enthusiasm, killed the optimism by not getting a proven goal scorer through the door, keeps playing players out of position, allows what is arguably our 2 quickest and shining starlets to go out on loan rather than blood them into our first team.
Killed the optimism with playing Collins at the rear who is clearly now better kept as a back up incase either Whitmore, Davis, Famewo get injured...
So, with what have seen.of the jolley revolution so far has dampened our spirits and many of us have had a change of heart and a bloody good dose of reality....we rode the crest of a wave but are now sinking fast, time to either hope the tide subsides and he gets afloat again or cast him aside, bring in a tried n tested manager at this level before it's too late...

Sorry to disagree but a manager lives and dies by results.
If he gets poor players playing as a team, they an produce results.
Results breed confidence and so by nature the poor players improve.
An upward spiral.
Lack of confidence produces a downward spiral.
Give them time and support.

Mr Jolley works extremely hard at managing this club and hard work usually pays in the end it can also be infectious so given time and the ball falling for us i do believe we will get there . I hope ?
