Jolley confirmed as Barrow manager

[Fazered]

Thought you were gone to your moral high ground Pedro. Close the door on your way out

Not gone from here glad you care ,its not a one party state

I care that he has given an honest account of the events and has been cleared to coach by the authorities.
I care that he has served his punishment under the law.
I care that he should not be judged for one mistake after a drunken night out.
I do hope you have led a blameless life to be able to judge someone so harshly

No worries, here some more info from the article/comment (from 10 years ago...):-

Everyone with a shred of common sense understands that Michael’s conviction was motivated by shallow opportunism on all sides. The moment it was placed before a body judging without an agenda common sense prevailed and he was cleared. The tabloid style smear from Ben Archibald was particularly contemptouos and vile. If he’d concentrated on reporting the facts he would actually have produced a more newsworthy and readable piece. Perhaps he too will find his career over before it’s begun?

Educated at Cambridge, city trader in London and New York.
Very intelligent and obviously little common sense doing what he did.
Obviously a element of a honey trap but she was 15 and he was 32 or 33
I will be back when he has gone ,morality more important.

If you’ve got a ticket for the Tranmere game can you let the club know you don’t require it so they can sell another space in the ground to someone who does want to go?

Think basically if things don't work out we can part ways in the summer with no compensation paid

morinho didn't last long at utd ,doesn't mean he's failed though let's give the guy a chance if anyone doesn't want to do that then you're not a true supporter!

As is often the case Pedro hasn’t got it again. Completely failed to see the point and misinterpreted the reality. Also critical of our new manager having a Cambridge education and having been a stock market trader. What’s the problem?

[Suffolk Blue]

Find it quite amusing that a Cambridge educated economist is being castigated for being a tad chavish or uncouth.

Truth is of course that like or not, being a bit of a gob sh*te never prevented any body from being a decent manager. Evatt, Daz and Dave, they were all a bit gobby and truth be told were not necessarily the greatest of morality role models. We forgave them their sins, preferring to embrace their passion. We've had a few nice guys and they have not really set our world alight. See the last bloke.

Jolley is actually the type of manager I assumed we'd sign when Evatt left and my gut tells me that we'd probably be in a better position if we'd had him from the start. Kelly may be a much better foil for him too and I'm really pleased he is staying. They will contrast and hopefully complement each other.

My instinct told me all was not right when Dunn was appointed. My instinct tells me that this appointment - as far as achieving the objective of maintaining league status is concerned - is a better one. I think it might be a bit of a bumpy ride at times, some ups and some downs. But I think the players will respond to him. He'll reach out to the fans and i think they will respond positively - in the main.

https://michaeljolleycoach.wordpress.com/ Read that before you cast judgement you moron. Hope you stay away forever, don’t need people like you around

You condem yourself by your own words.
Did he or did he not do it?
Did he go to court and get put on probation?

Never made a mistake Pedro?I have read the article ten years ago event not repeated and paid the price.Whats that saying ? “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”Don’t think this is the time to run round Barrow shouting lock up our your daughters.

You'll be a real loss to this forum Pedro

[Arvo]

What does 'Summer break' mean?

Basically if it goes west and we go down he will be off

Seems sensible from the board's perspective. If he can't keep us up then he has failed and we can get rid of him without having to pay up the rest of his contract. Also shows that he is confident enough to think he will be successful.

So it's a kind of sanity clause?



Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Cokey]

Lots of Grimsby fans saying he’s a top bloke, intelligent manager and we should now start climbing the table.

Let’s all get behind Michael Jolley and the team now and keep our energy positive.

Merry Christmas to all Barrow fans.
