Another one bites the dust.

I’d like to see any manager do a better job with the limited budget Jolley and Limbo have had to play with . This is reflected in the totally inconsistent run of results we’ve had . Better players can consistently play to a higher level and go on promotion runs . That’s not a dig at our squad but a fair assessment of L2 on the whole . Just look at the results of each team over a 6 week period. Up and down on the whole . That’s why betting on L1 &2 is so difficult!
At the end of the day we as fans have to be realistic. Jolley said he’d need at least 3 windows. I’d say 6 tbh - he’s not going to say that tbf to him as it would make it look like he was making excuses for slow progress but he probably knew it . We don’t have the budget to instantly get success . It’s all about experienced additions matched with youth coming through.
Anyone calling for the managers head needs to have a think about where we are .

On that long term view Lew, you could hardly blame Jolley then.

Jolley is just the latest in a long line of managers that have struggled. They struggle because the club is not set up right and never will until we get new owners.

Successful clubs are invariably well run, with a vision and passion for what they are trying to achieve. Sadly our managers have to try and make something out of not a lot and they all fail. Sad but true.

I don’t disagree with the basic thought there Lew. I  really hope Jolley will push us forward enough to break the trend. I fear that even if we did get promoted it’d just be a matter of time before we fell back.

In the absence of any magic wand/Grimsby Jack Walker appearing, I’m clutching at straws like recent improvements in signs coming out of the Politburo.

JF was our kind of Jack Walker when he came in, shored the club up and injected finances for our survival.  Major differences being Jack Walker had more money, didnt want it back and when he passed on left even more money to the club. ...whereas our version "lent" the money and has had enough and wants the money back.
The only other loaded local who wanted in had his pants dropped in public by the current regime , left as a result and then his shares were given away to the people who he had fallen out with.
There arent many loaded people with local connections, their names get trotted out every now again and with the latest Shutes interest there were murmers his connections to David Ross might be behind it all, but with virtually no communications in a month or two then that seems to have fallen totally flat now.
Forget the sugar daddy route, stable club, running on its means and building bridges locally is the best case scenario we have right now, Jolley is certainly bringing the youth into the first team, the Acadamy seems to be on a little roll in bringing players through so ride on them for a season, sell one on, raise another one...etc etc.  

Look at Scunny, prior to last season it could be said they were a well run club, punching above their weight. Now it's going a bit t@@ts up its starting to come out how much money was actually pumped into them for that success. I'm afraid for our level it's always a rollercoaster, 2/3 seasons on the up then 2/3 seasons of struggle, so I think so long as we are patient a winning formula will be found and once again we will have some fortune before once again falling back to good old division 4.

How long would you like us to be patient for? Any (nearly) 20 year old has never seen us above division 4. Even if they did see it they were too young to remember it.

Where are the 2/3 seasons on the up? We have decent crowds, why haven't we done better? At least Scunthorpe had some success, and being a better run club will get further success when it does come quicker than in 20 years.

Scunny’s owner was pouring in millions though. If they can’t cut their cloth according to their means they could go the same way as Bury when Mrs Wilco’ husband pulls the rug.

To be clear I am not saying be grateful for JSF’s stewardship.
