is the surprise favourite for the Barrow position. I thought he did a decent job at Blundell Park. I recall particularly that game at Crystal Palace. It all ended with his unfortunate outburst of course. How is he remembered by most Grimsby Town supporters, fondly or with disdain?

Good luck to him. He did a great job keeping us up at the start.

We all (except Ipswin ) thought this might be "the one" but it ended as disappointingly as all the others.

We were sold a tactical genuis, but he wasn't unless defending very deep qualifies.

All managers here are trying to do the job with one or both hands tied behind their backs, so as with former players it might be unfair to judge him on his stint here alone.

I liked him a lot, it didn't work out for him here, but it hasn't worked out for any manager really.

You have to put Jolley’s lack of overall success here in the context of all managers since we got back in the League. If not several years before. Good luck to him.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Galvanised a hopeless squad when he first came in and performed a miracle to keep us up. Very little progress in his first full season but we did perform admirably at Palace with 10 men for almost 90 minutes.

He was definitely a defensive manager whilst here and ultimately a rant at local journalists with the F word used every 4 words and criticising his budget ultimately brought about his downfall.

He also had disagreements with the board in Sweden before he came here...

Kept us up when we were absolutely doomed. A job well done. Shame he didn’t push on as much as we’d hoped but he succeeded here.

We thought he was the messiah!
It turned out he was just a very naughty boy.

Did a good job to keep us up but horrendous thereafter.
