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 37 years living in Suffolk but always a mariner.                              69 Years following the Town                               Life member of Trust                                First game   April 1955

Guest User	Quoted from NorthLondonMariner 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. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."
