Not another "Tosser" from Lincoln, or is it an old one with a new name?
We could all drag up crap about some so called "fans" of others clubs if we wanted too, but most of us on this forum don't because the users of this forum are football "supporters".
Another Lincoln fan obsessed with Grimsby Town eh who'd have thought it........?

he might need to have a thick skin though because you know what football fans are like.
Yeah I know, I remember watching us at Wolves when Dave Jones was their manager and our fans were singing about him being a paedophile even though he was acquitted, football fans can be twats sometimes.

"we quickly identified the need to move away from the classic “managerial merry go round” appointment"

Is this not what they tried to do with Marcus Bignot a year ago?

This bloke sounds proper dodgy. Sure to come in for a load of stick from oppo fans I reckon. Even if he didn't know their actual age, he was still an academy coach in their 30's that liked to bring teenage college girls back to his flat.

And in his one job in management he had a 22% win rate.

If Sol Campbell can't even get a job that someone of that "calibre" gets, then he might as well give up. What a waste.

Oh dear. Imagine sacking a proven manager like Russell Slade for this cretin. His win percentage is 21%!!!! Russell must be pissing himself.

Very pleased with this. Highly thought of by many in the game including Sean Dyche and has experience in turning around a relegation fight. Speaks incredibly well and seems extremely hungry and hard working. I've got a really good feeling about this one, just as long as he sticks around.
You fucking what? He's a sex offender and a very poor manager

Sitting here laughing slowly eating a bowl of rice crispies. Grimsby Town sacked Russell Slade to appoint a sex offender and a manager with 19% win percentage ahahaha!

I can't believe any reasonable person would be happy with this, but I suppose this is Grimsby fans we're talking about.

They've just appointed a sex offending non entity as manager and they're happy. Unbelievable. Must be really desperate up there.

I know what he is. Like I said, delighted :2thumb:
What are you delighted about? I'm willing to bet out all of 92 clubs in England you employ a manager with the worst win percentage.

Too right mate. Pathetic how they sacked Russell to appoint this mug. He can't believe his luck, worst win percentage in England and a sex offender.

I'm happy because he is one for one opposite of that fucking dinosaur Slade and that we didn't end up with yet another dinosaur sliding down the pyramid. We wanted a young and hungry manager with a long term plan in mind and we got one. Even if we go down, which I and others are fully aware is still major possibility, I'm confident Jolley is capable of building something here. If anything at all, getting the majority of the fans back on the club's side with this appointment is already a big turning point.

I can totally understand from an outside perspective that it looks a poor choice but from the inside and the current feeling at the club, it's just what we need.

Very dodgy this one. Certainly no reason why someone with his track record and experience should even be on a shortlist for a League 2 position.Therefore, I demand an investigation into Michael Jolley and Grimsby Town Football Club.

Appointing a manager with the worst win percentage in England and who's a well known sex offender gets your fans on side? Fucking hell.

I know you’re trolling but you did actively support Lee Hughes so :dk:.

If you look at the context of his job in Sweden, it shows how hard a job he had. He must have been alright for them to want to keep him.

He left because they couldn't agree on the future direction of the club. Presumably Jolley wanted the board to keep his shady activities quiet..
