Jolley sacked

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Maybe the rank stupidity of sending him out and getting him cup tied sealed it.

So many strange decisions. Bad though this was ,considering our lack of pace or ability to attack defenders, the signing of Welsh as Club Skipper last season was a red flag. One wonders if MJ can identify priorities correctly let alone find solutions.

He couldn't decide if he was a brain surgeon or a rocket scientist.

We seem to be inextricably linked to Newport over the previous few seasons. It's interesting that they too were on the brink of relegation out of the league the season before us and in fact were in a much more precarious position when they appointed a young, inexperienced manager in Mike Flynn. He duly saved them from the drop miraculously, then followed that up by finishing 11th the next season and getting to a play off final the season after. Not to mention some very lucrative cup exploits along the way. All that achieved without a Pro license and on average gates of less than 3500.

That folks, is what you call progress, and those saying MJ needed more time, should look at what can be achieved relatively quickly if you get the right man at the helm. Also interesting to note that they are fan owned and run club.

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

I wouldn't be surprised if Fenty and the Town board were already talking to the next potential new manager prior to Jolley been sacked.  I bet they already got someone lined up who they really think is a more capable manager.

Fenty thinking ahead and having a masterplan? That's 2 massive assumptions. In fact even trying to contemplate that scenario is making me feel like Dougal Maguire in Father Ted trying to grasp the concept of God

I’m sure MJ allegedly applying for another job probably bruised a few egos in the boardroom and I wouldn’t be too surprised to see a former Town employee installed fairly quickly. Just a hunch.

Shocked when I saw this on Sky. When MJ kept us up we were all here praising him to the hilt. Since then there has been criticism and fans are frustrated that, after a great start, we have lapsed back into the old ways.

Several teams in this league seem to be the same in that their form varies from season to season and match to match. No consistency and no one club is dominant.

I would have given Jolley until Christmas at least. Having two games called off has not been to our advantages and we only need 3 or 4 points to be back in mid table.

We have good enough players to be mid table at least. I have no idea who they can bring in to achieve some consistency.

We have had nine or ten years of absolute hell and we are in desperate need of an upturn in fortunes. I have no idea who they bring in to turn it all around. Very depressing.

I don’t think form and results are the sole reason. The drop off in form doesn’t match last year’s, the drop off in performance was worrying but, now others have mentioned it, the drop off in connectivity between Jolley and the fans and community is glaring.

I get it Croxton, Managers with no money rely on their background, connections, scouting networks and sometimes just people they’ve trusted throughout their time growing up in the game.

I hate the “he’s never played the game” attitude but maybe as MJs resources were meagre his lack of background has slowed down the feel good factor that had so much influence on and off the pitch.

I hope he gets himself back to a big club working under the radar with youngsters etc.. and he finds a football career.

We might of missed something here maybe MJ canned it as the club seems to have been tainted by political nut jobs and narcissists in the last 24 hours.

Takes two sides I suppose.

Oh God.please not. I'd hate to see macca/ disley/woodhouse/ anyone else youd care to mention destroyed like Rodger/ woods/ groves. IT DOESNT WORK
