So who do we want

Quoted from ROKERITE

It was more than agreeing with Fenty's decision, it was the supporters leading the call for Jolley to get the job. The short video of MJ explaining his tactics in a match in Sweden made a big impression. How keen Fenty ever was on Jolley is questionable. Over the years I've followed Grimsby's progress it has been Fenty's refusal to sack a manager, till months after it was obvious to everyone else how useless he was, that has been the constant factor. The decision to part company so soon with Jolley suggests he was never really Fenty's choice.
I thought MJ was an exciting, interesting and popular appointment. There was nothing certain about it failing to work out. I don't think this is the end of his career in football management. I hope it's not.

I disagree. His record stands at failing to stop a team being relegated in Sweden and not achieving particularly much here in 18 months. Yes he did well to keep us up but there was a large slice of luck involved with that which people would see if they did the proper checks on his background. Beyond that we finished 17th last season, going on some horrendous losing streaks and only scoring 45 goals all season in the league. After a good start to this season, amplified by Hanson hitting a purple patch of form, he had no answers when our only threat has been closed off and has resorted to a horrendous brand of dysfunctional, boring and negative tactics which seem to change every week resulting in performances that were arguably worse than the worst of the performances under Slade.

There's nothing in his record to attract a FL team to take a punt on him, even Hurst who has won several promotions and did a wonderful job at Shrewsbury struggled to get employment again after Ipswich and Jolley doesn't have anything like as good a record. The fact that Jolley hasn't signed a single non-league player, usually a good and sensible potential resource for a L2 team on a budget, would suggest that his knowledge of non-league is virtually non-existent so I don't think he'd drop down to that level. And why would a club hire a manager with no history of success and no knowledge of the level they're at?

He's supposedly left by mutual consent and there were signs recently that the strain of management were starting to tell. He's also blocked quite a few Town fans on Twitter for criticising him on that platform which I would argue suggests he's got a fairly thin skin which you can't have if you want to be successful in management. I can't see him getting another management job, he'll go back to coaching under 23s.

Give the job to Chris Kamara, he,d be Unbelievable

I see many slating Wilcox but i dont think he’d be a bad shout. Did a good job at scunny.

No thanks, not managed for over 4 years and he isn't even employed in a coaching role now

Quoted from Mariners_15

I wonder if it's also worth considering a different approach? A director of football and head coach setup?

Two wages, I'd rather have an extra player. The 'Director of football' would have virtually no resources to do his job which would be improving and supporting the scouting network, acquiring and supporting different types of analysts, various coaching and fitness staff etc.

Ian Culverhouse Is doing a really good job at Kings Lynn by the looks of it. NLN to L2 is a bit of a jump I get but I’d rather have someone coming up than the “usual suspects”.

You sure about that Dave, thought he was now involved with their youth set up ..broke their record with, I think, a 27 game unbeaten run...

Anyone mentioned Andy Hessenthaler. Decent win ratio and experienced.
