Quoted from MuddyWaters
At a slight tangent, John Tondeur has tweeted to say he's interviewing JS at around 2.30.


I don't normally listen to the pre match stuff but I will listen to that as it should be an interesting listen. It can't be easy for the bloke at the moment and I am just hoping and praying all the results go for us this afternoon.  I think the bottom two are at home and we are away to a (relatively) in form side so I am dreading it if things go badly.

The more I think about it, he comes across a bit jolleyesque, only Jolley was slightly more articulate in the way he put his bulllshit across.


Jolley also happened to win almost 37% of his games in the Town dugout. Artell would have to win the next 5 games to surpass that.

As things stand, Artell isn’t fit to clean Jolley’s suit.

Indeed: and according to Mrs Running like Jolley has a 'superior bottom': whereas DA is the superior ..

Jolley didn’t do much wrong other then fall out with Fenty ( not difficult) and then presented him an opportunity to sack him.

For me, the basic litmus test of a manager is; “did they leave the club in a better place than they found it?”. Of all of our managers this century, I think there’s only Hurst and Jolley that can make a good argument that they did.

Incidentally, the situation Jolley inherited is much like ours now; a few points above the relegation zone but unquestionably plummeting towards it. I realise it’s not going to happen, but I’ve said previously that I’d be interested to see how he would have got on working with our current owners and a bit more money. I’d genuinely feel more comfortable with him in the dugout right now than Artell.

He will be talking about CEO appointment and other improvements and how it’s all a learning curve how the data is helping and by the way the fans should stop moaning . I can send you the transcript now if you wish .

Not often I disagree with you pal but I'm not so sure about that.
Jolley got lucky, we got penalties we didn't deserve, which certainly helped our cause massively, and I'm not so sure Barrow fans would agree that of you gave Jolley money he can build a squad, he wasted thousands, lasted 6 games and was shown the door with P45 in hand

As an experienced interviewer for job positions, nobody should take claims said at face-value without some confirmation checks.  The more important the job, or the more significant the claim, then due diligence checks should be more thorough.  Move on if discrepancies found.

But he’ll be putting himself in front of the local radio station and answering questions. Rather than banning them and letting Compass FM - quite literally at times - phone the commentary in.
