Quoted from Poojah


I think that’s a pretty good litmus test right there. If they wouldn’t make the shortlist of any other League Two club then why should they make ours? Sentimentality and ‘connections’ don’t cut it - they very, very rarely pay off in football.

That said; realism is needed. How attractive is this role right now? This club is a manager’s graveyard. Since 1994, 25 years, only two managers have evaded the sack - Slade MK1 and Hurst (I’m purposely not differentiating between sackings and mutual consent, because that’s just bóllocks).

No manager sacked by this club since 2004 (Paul Groves) have gone on to manage another league side since. It looks unlikely Jolley will buck that trend. Come here, get it wrong (as most do) and your career is over.

I reckon our list of prospects is a mix of League Two semi-failures (Nolan, Kewell), aspirational non-leaguers (Weaver, Evatt, Flowers) and first-time chancers (who knows?). It’s entirely possible many of the above don’t fancy it for a variety of reasons.

My, raw, gut feeling is we’ll end up with someone even more obscure of any of those I’ve mentioned, as we did with Jolley who to his credit kept us up and stabilised the club. Time will tell.


Does this make us any different from the vast majority of other clubs in League 1 or 2?

Why do you ‘personally think’ that? What’s that based on and what do you know? Seems a bit random (and low grade) to me.

I don’t remember M Jolley being a high grade suggestion. That list pretty much sums up where we’re at.

Can’t see any up and coming successful non league manager coming to town . They’re going to wait for a position coming vacant that has the potential to further their career not end it ! That’s not being pessimist just realistic .

Simon Weaver, Harrogate Town.

(As alluded to, his dad is the chairman, so I'd class this guess as good as one of those ones off Family Fortunes!)

Have to say I'm surprised Steve Cotterill hasn't had more of a mention..

Recent article suggests he's ready to get back into football after a couple of years out..
