Newell had over 30 drunks and only a few sober players to choose from. So I can not choose between them they were both rubbish. I would like to add Jolley has only 22 players to choose from and plays a lot of them out of position some forced but some his choice. The said two could not turn things round but I think Jolley will even though he will fall short of we are going foe it this season, Final place this season of 12th will still be a improvement though. Enjoy the ups and forget the downs as we will have a few more of both before the season ends.                            Over 33 years living in Suffolk but always a mariner.                            65 Years following the Town                             Ian Holloway's  Black and White Army.                                                 UTMM                                Logged Offline 6 2 Reply: 21 - 34 NorthLondonMariner October 14, 2019, 2:20pm Coke Drinker Posts: 28 Posts Per Day: 0.04 Approval: +81 Mike Newell and his squad of lady gardens are the worst town manager and team in my living history, full stop.

Difficult to argue with any of this, so I won't.

The worst manager I have ever seen, including these and Bobby Roberts and Bobby Kennedy and a few others, is still Mike Lyons. He took a successful skilful side and decimated it for no other reason than to prove a point with 3 at the back and an up-and-under.
