Jolley sacked

Quoted from GrimRob

This season is a right-off now .

It already was Rob, we were going absolutely nowhere

Quoted from rancido

Probably the best time to get rid of a manager. Hopefully whoever comes in ,it will be before Christmas and that will give him time to assess the squad and a transfer window in January to make any additions. With still two thirds of the season left there is plenty of time for a new manager to turn things around.

Yep, that's what I was thinking as well. Unless Jolley decided he wanted to leave and that's the main reason he's gone, you'd hope that our non-Chairman has given thought to who might be employed in his place.

I really thought we had a long-term agenda going forward, now we're back to Square One. Really disappointed.

You watch him turn up at Orient...after listening to their chairman on sports talk earlier he fits the bill perfectly for what they're looking for..

Cue the next hopeful trying to turn a Morris Minor into a Porsche with no money or facilities to do so.

He was a very likeable guy, but if he was going to get us moving, i feel he would have done so by now. Think he over complicated a simple game, with too much information loaded onto players without the ability to carry it through.

As others have said, there seems more to this than meets the eye, and as with most managers who come in all bright eyed and bushy tailed, the reality of trying to turn this club around while keeping the books balanced is a job very few can pull off. The club and it's expectant fans will wear down even the most patient of men, and budget constraints will always be a deciding factor. Looks like he decided to have a leaner squad so he could sign a few higher paid players like Hanson, but plugging the gaps with inexperienced youth players is a gamble, no matter how much potential they have.

I've not seen us play this season, but from what i hear from those that have, the football is even more dire than it was under Slade. I just hope we can attract someone who can re-ignite the fans again, but i suspect that Limbrick will be given an extended audition first. Maybe he will step up to the plate as Hurst did after Shouty was removed for similar reasons, if rumours of Jolley's outbursts and dislike among the players is correct.

Another season, another manager. How many is that since we returned to the league?

taht would be amusing, given we play them in a few weeks time

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

You are spot on, it is no great loss and if it needed doing at least we are not waiting until the last 6 games for a Messiah again. I wonder if his rolling 6 months was up for renewal?

I have it on good authority he had about 180 days left

Quoted from oochiad

Farage and now this......ffs

Ultimately I respect the fact that people are free to vote how they vote.. that's democracy. But I loathe Farage so reading about that this morning, and THEN finding out Jolley has left.. honestly my enthusiasm for this club has just taken a massive nosedive today.

On the flip side I did feel the sudden and noticable downturn in form in the last 4-6 weeks seemed like there was something amiss in the dressing room so maybe this decision backs that up.

So that's what that 4-0 spanking was all about...
