Jolley will not be for too long (12-24 months), and we will then be back to square one and the feelgood factor will slowly disappear.  Unless we change the philosophy of the whole club and not just the dressing room.  We are still the same backwards thinking club but with a good manager who understands the value of youth and the fans.

Not sure this is entirely true, it was stated earlier this year that the clubs philosophy going forward is to put more emphasis into youth development with targets/aims set on a set number (I forget how many) of youths coming through into the first team.

I agree that the youths have received a lot more funding due to being in the league and we will obviously see signs of them in the future, but all it takes is another Slade who brings in the old brigade and limits the opportunity available to the kids.

Bloody hell, i was happy until you came along 🤔😉

Since I’ve been watching town I can only rank the managers I’ve seen in the following order.

Paul Hurst/Alan Buckley mk1 & mk2
Slade mk 1
Brian laws
Hurst/Scott combo
Lennie Lawrence
Groves (loved him as a player though)
Neil Woods
Nicky Law (no time to impress really)
Mike Newell/slade mk2/Buckley mk3

I really like the effect he's having on the club but giving him a GOD Contract is a bit much! See below.

I like Jolley and think he will do well before being poached, month or two back i was very worried but the ship turned and the team look to be gelling but still without really playing that well in the league.
We are only a couple of players away from being very very good league 2 side and hope Jolley gets a god contract to carry on his forward thinking work

Honestly Ron I know you’re entitled to your opinion but to put Hurst on the same level as our Lord Alan?!!!

You’d get stoned to death for blasphemy like that in certain parts of the world!  

I'm sure Alex Whitmore was on the bench Saturday assisting the management team also. Great gesture by MJ to get some extra support down there and ensure Whitmore felt part of it, despite his suspension.

I suspect he was stoned when he wrote it

Needs antipsychotics by the looks of things. Slade and Newel on the list also. How can such names grace the sam book as Sir Alan never mind the same page. Deluded.
