Jolley sacked

You can only assume, but something has gone on behind the scenes. I was neither here nor there on Michael Jolley. Yes he was a good up-and-coming manager, but still hadn’t addressed some of the problems the club had on the pitch when he arrived.

He has left 'by mutual consent'.....which brings forward so many questions...

- Had he just had enough of us, or the club, or football management?  
- Does Limbrick want the job?
- Could the timing be much worse?
- Is anyone happy now?

Bet Ipswin is laughing his boll0x off and feeling all smug now😂😂

Unfortunately, this decision is very justifiable.  The timing is strange, which would suggest something has gone on, but you only have to see the comments on here for the last few weeks to see that we have made no progress under Jolley at all.

This season we were told we were "going for it", according to one of the summer signings (apologies, can't remember which one), and the signing of Hanson was at least partial evidence of this.  However, we've made no progress despite signings that appear pretty good on paper.

The floating fans have been deserting the club in recent games, and we are seriously on the slide.

I think it's a little harsh on him as the team hasn't had chance to prove the decline is going to be averted what with postponements, but clearly things in the background haven't been going well at all.

I'm saddened by this, but even my faith in Jolley, as a confirmed pro-Jolley fan, has dropped to around zero in recent weeks, and I believe he'd have taken us even closer to relegation than last season.

My hope for new manager?  Ian Holloway.  I think he'd take it, too.

Don't get this at all. I like Jolley, thought he was moving us forward.

Amazed and very disappointed.

Quoted from Posh Harry

I think this is really sad news. Can only assume there is a replacement lined up, but after only a short run of bad form and results I have to question why. Jesus, how long did Slade get.

Maybe there is something else behind the scenes but don’t agree with this at all.

I’d be amazed if there was a replacement lined up. Whole thing sounds like the result of a row. Unthinkable I know...

Quoted from Hagrid

Wasnt good enough, havent moved forward in 2 years under him leading us. However we have a stagnant boardroom so i do t have a clue where we go from here

It’s no flipping good willing the ends Hagrid without willing the means. You’ve been whinging for weeks about Jolley and now admit you haven’t got a clue what to do next when he’s gone!

Quoted from chicaneuk

What the hell. I can't fathom this decision at all. We've just set ourselves back another two years at least, again. This club really is run by fools.

THIS, Surely whoever gets it will have to have the now 'standard' 3 transfer windows to get their squad of their players.

So if we survive this season we should be ready for a potential playoffs push end of the 2020/1 season will a full challenge 21/22 season.

Can't wait...

Just makes me wonder whether Macca was really ill or if something had gone on with MJ...
Have the players vocalised their frustrations through Macca?? .. summation I know but I'm convinced there's more to come out rather him being sacked...
