Who next for manager.??

Quoted from 4055

M. Jolley should  stay but the assistant manager should be replaced by an experienced one to help MJ. He has been a breath of fresh air since his arrival, improving things at the training ground , bringing in some decent players compared to last season, his PR work has been excellent. He doesnt need sacking he needs proper help, get him an experienced right hand man.  A director of football could also be the answer. MJ wants to succeed and should be given time to do so. The players have got to take most of the blame for our present failures.

review all at xmas  but give him a chance now and take supporters pressure of him.

red crosses expected but its my opinion right or wrong.

ps Fenty does not play.

A vote of confidence?

Lot of criticism of Anthony Limbrick here now. Where's this coming from?

I appreciate people are looking for things to blame, but what do any of us know about Limbrick as a person, as a coach or as an assistant manager? Diddly-squat I'd probably guess.

The thought actually crossed my mind about Limbrick. The players performed for Jolley last season. This season, it’s gone downhill. Could it be that Limbrick is ‘The spanner in the works’? I know that the book stops with MJ but it is a coincidence. After all, it doesn’t take much to upset the Apple cart.

Why start on Limbrick now-what's he done wrong. Not many more left to have a go at-we've done J.S.F..urine poor racehorse trainers,accountants,solicitors,Jolly,Slade,Wilkinson,Bignot,fffing pies. Let's concentrate on taking our venom out on our opponents for once.    Carlisle are effing useless and we'll thrash them tomorrow--there that's a start.

It's not a case of having a go at limpdick more a case of looking at why it's gone wrong....jolley seemed to sort the playing style out last season, got a shower shite squad to half perform and mow its all gone belly up...so naturally we look at the reasons and he is possibly one...the facts is he took Woking down and look at the table to see where they are now......

Well my first choice has gone already. Northampton obviously got their act together quickly and appointed Curle within hours of sacking the other bloke.
Lets just hope Fenty lines someone up when Jolley goes, we can't afford weeks of pissing about if we are in the bottom two

Jolley will probably have picked Limbrick based on a variety of reasons. He possibly shares the same ideas of how the game should be played. He could know him from his past appointments and possibly respects his approach to coaching. Managers/coaches usually pick their own assistant based on the fact that they can work with them. To actually foist an assistant on a manager IMO is asking for trouble and would cause disharmony in the bootroom staff.

Some hope is that. We will "see who applies" and who will come with one hand tied behind their backs.

We can blame the board for a lot of things and not being proactive is another one!

The only time in recent memory that we had a manager ready to go was Slade replacing Bignot. Christ knows how many 1st choices would turn us down this time around.

It’s all ifs and buts at the minute but I think even the most fervent Jolley supporter will admit that it’s not looking good if we lose our next couple of games (though I suspect an abject or heavy defeat at Carlisle may be enough on its own).

Though he was a popular appointment in most quarters, he was also undeniably obscure and unproven. Quite simply, the reason we ended up there was because more proven ‘names’ like Phil Brown and Stuart McCall simply didn’t want it. I’m not suggesting that either of those two would’ve been the answer, merely pointing out that our realistic pool of options is going to be limited in terms of size and quality.

That’s not necessarily an assertion that we’re being ‘cheap’ either. Football management is a funny old beast - one duff job can all but finish a career. I mean weigh us up as a proposition - we’re a struggling team with apparently limited players, little money and a realistic proposition of relegation back into non-league abyss. Ask yourself, would you take that on if you felt there was even the slightest chance of a better offer elsewhere on the horizon? You wouldn’t.

Realistically, the best opportunity to get a managerial appointment right was when Paul Hurst left. We were a club on the ascendency then; on the cusp of the play-offs, the best striker in the division and a decent war chest when we inevitably cashed in a few weeks down the line.

I applaud the sentiment of what we tried to do there in bringing in an apparently young, up and coming manager.  What is unforgivable is the alarming lack of due diligence, as surely a couple of phone calls would have been sufficient to flag that Bignot was as mad as a box of frogs (if the interview process itself didn’t already).

Anyway, we are where we are now, but if Jolley is indeed unable to turn it around then that’s a pretty bleak place.
