Our new manager confirmed, he has stated though that should we win the replay at Newport and then go on to lift the FA Cup, he will be turning down the chance to go into Europe:

He says sat disinterested on the fence.

Personally I would give Dumpster more time, if he can improve that home form and maintain all those away wins the fans will be flooding back

Shocked Grimsby sacked Jolley since they haven't had a league game we won 4-0 against them, lots of clubs now pressing the panic button - mine included.

Apparently we will not be considering anyone this side of the new year unless our form doesn't improve.

Still think we need an experienced manager, wondering if Embleton has learned one or two more new things these last 30 days.

The Jolley departure seems out the blue? There doesn't seem to have been too much of a build up towards his sacking that you usually expect.

I was only talking about Jolley to a Fenty on Wednesday and there was no suggestion he'd be sacked imminently.

Not exactly an inspiring bookies list either.

We did had a 0-0 draw at Cambridge after that where we decided to play like Morecambe for 90 minutes and try to send the crowd to sleep.

It hasn't been working the past month or so, dreadful football, constant team changes, spending too much time and tactics trying to combat the opposition rather than play his best players.

According to the Fishy, alledgedly applying for other jobs and some players not knowing what tactics they are supposed to be playing.

Also slowly slipping back down the league so no surprise to me.

A fair point, although not sure many thought similar at the time of the appointment. Always a greater risk with an internal inexperienced appointment, I sensed cautious nervous optimism mixed in with fear of budget cuts at the time.

You are right about the half a season , from a supporter of a club who switches managers at comically embarrassing rate often to next to no benefit. That is certainly not long enough regardless of how good the squad is, how expensively assembled it is and what expectations were pre season.

He's just been nominated for manager of the month, and about to win yet another away game today. Can't see Dumpster getting the boot any time soon which is ok by me.

Jolley is currently replying back to every single well wisher on his Twitter. A sign of the man and gutting we’ve lost the one manager who actually gave a toss.

Grimsby one is an odd one as they started well but have tailed off and they seem to go from sublime to the ridiculous over the last two or three seasons of great winning runs they follow it up with a long winless run.

Strange timing though, plenty of games in hand to turn it around.

Well he has got a free Saturday now and plenty of time on his hands so why not ?

If he's as good as people say he will be snapped up soon enough at this level.

Clip doing the rounds of Jolley absolutely lambasting the 'disgraceful' Humberside journos and slamming the budget which we are seemingly over achieving with. Almost certainly what's gotten him the boot, or at least the final straw. What a shame that it's come down to that, he's succumbed to the pressure that comes from all angles at this football club. Our club is rotten all over and it will just keep happening until Fenty is out for good.

Think Grimsby will need to get the replacement in quickly. Limbrick a bit of a disaster when he managed Woking and caretaker manager at Blundell Park now

The audio makes me like him more, Humberside are absolute poison at times and as Jolley said, every manager has said the same thing. Feel for him that it ended up costing him his job.

On one hand I think it's a strange approach from Jolley as he's telling them to ask him straight questions on air but he doesn't often give straight answers anyway, he is usually quite automated in his responses especially post match.

Besides that he has got a point, there's very rarely anything positive coming out of the media when it comes to us and we don't get the credit we sometimes deserve. When we sit just outside the playoffs the question seems to be whether we deserve to be there, almost in disbelief opposed to any sorts of optimism that we could make a push. Burns especially is an utter tool who doubted Jolley from day one and is probably loving every minute of this.

The recording makes Jolley look bad at face value but realistically this has likely been brewing for some time and we don't know the full story. Our relationship with Humberside has been dreadful for years, any manager already starts on the back foot and will do until the rot is cleared out from the absolute core. We don't know if this was the real Jolley or a one off, and I don't condone it whatsoever, but I wouldn't put it past this dreadful club to reduce a man down to that and I sympathise with him for that reason.

Cheers.

Even if he's got a point, you can't lose your rag like that. Which Humberside reporter was he ok about? Tondeur or whatever he's called? Matt Dean?
Think it’s Matt Dean he’s screaming at. Tondeur is probably in the room too. He’s right about Burns and Gwilliam Lloyd but he can’t say go off like he did. Ironic that a journalist was recording it anyway...

Matt Dean always come across as very strong with his line of questioning so I can see why he might rub people up the wrong way. Fenty clearly isn't a fan given the way he spoke so publicly about him at that fans forum the other year (which was completely out of order).

I'd be surprised if a journalist recorded that. I reckon it would have been a photographer as I know they also use the press room at Blundell Park. I notice your old sports reporter Matt Dannatt also said something similar. It's not really the done thing, off record is off record.

Sounds like he's having a go at Dean but Tondeur is there too talking at the end.

He's not wrong about Burns and llyod though, especially Burns who jumped ship to Hull the moment they went above us.

Dean and Tondeur always seem to be alright so dunno what his beef is with them. Tondeur always gets critism from our fans for not asking the tough questions.

Does make you wonder why it's suddenly been leaked now and were from.

Club gets criticised for his sacking and everyone on Jolley side, this gets leaked and everyone says he deserves it.

Blaming the radio for not asking tough questions to his face, saying budget is crap, asking where Barnet and Chesterfield are now as if to see look where we would be if it wasn't for me.

Well his vocabulary is very limited to say the least and his language is a f****** disgrace in that audio clip.

If that's got out to Mr Fenty, understand why he's been let go.
