Michael Jolley confirmed as new Grimsby Town manager

[DH84]

Hahaha just read that article. You have to be one thick c*** to get led on by a 15 year old girl when he was more than double her age.

 

[DH84]

"Fled to England" is hardly a sign of an innocent man.

 

[Chris FGR]

Even if he really believed that she wasn't underage, you have to wonder what sort of person who in their 30's, whilst employed as an academy coach, is looking to bring back groups of drunk teenage college girls to his flat?

 

[DH84]

Surely Grimsby need to take police advice on this matter as girls under the age of 16 are not safe around Jolley. They'rre going to lose quite a few fans

 

[gijsbert_bos]

Give him a chance. You lot gave Cowley a chance.

Cowley had been managing for 11 years and had secured several promotions and nearly got Braintree into the Football League the previous year.

That said I will watch with interest. Better than Phil Brown etc for me.

Good point mate. Jolley has shown he cannot be trusted around groups of teenage girls and shows no remorse, blaming the victim in his view of events and fleeing the country as quickly as possible. This is a man who should still be paying and receiving the consequences of his actions not managing a professional football club.

 

[GTFCfish]

Quite laughable reading ChrisFGR's posts, as if he'd just been appointed FGR manager he would be a 'top guy' who's 'served his time' and does 'lots of good work in the community' ffs!

To take the moral high ground with Jolley, after earlier welcoming the deplorable killer Lee Hughes to FGR with open arms and even joining in with the c*** 'Hughsie' dance after goals just sums you up Chris.

You obviously haven't got kids then Fish, shocking attitude.

Surely all these recent abuse revelations elsewhere should lead to a ZERO TOLERANCE approach. Everyone in the game needs to make sure that these sort of people NEVER get into positions of power at football clubs EVER again.

To appoint a CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER as manager of your club is DISGUSTING.

Funnily enough though I've just checked out his past and he has never, ever, killed anybody by driving pissed up and then run from the scene, before appealing against his sentence and showing no remorse whatsoever.
Maybe if he had done some of these things you'd be a bit more understanding of him eh?

 

[Chris FGR]

Why do you keep talking about Lee Hughes?

Anyone would think you were trying to deflect/brush under the carpet the fact that in 2018 Grimsby Town Football Club has seen fit to appoint a CONVICTED SEX OFFENDER as manager. Are you honestly saying you're ok with that?

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

You keep barking on about that when he served his probation, was taken off the sex offenders register, has been cleared to safely work with young people, had a panel acknowledge the entire situation was an honest mistake etc. Basically the only people who give a shit are you and your Slade obsessed mate in here.

 

[Chris FGR]

He'll get the same sort of abuse Dave Jones used to get, no doubt.

Honest mistake? Maybe, but he was still a 30 something year old academy and university coach prowling about picking up drunken college girls and bringing them back to his flat. And he was found guilty.

It's funny how hypocritical GTFCfish is. All on his moral high ground shite about Hughes, but defends a convicted sex offender. Hmm.

Had he known that she was 15 then I wouldn't want him anywhere near my club.
As he thought she was 19, the explanation which has been accepted hence his removal from the register, then yes I'm very ok with that.
You are just choosing to ignore the facts just to to try and impress that idiot Coventry fan on here who now seems to be your best, and only, friend.

NOW ARE YOU OK WITH THAT CHRIS?

 

[Chris FGR]

Not my club, so yeah I suppose so. Better hope nothing happens whilst he's working for you though, can't say you weren't warned. I wouldn't want him anywhere near my club though.

And I thought you were my friend Fish?

 

[GTFCfish]

And I thought you were my friend Fish?

Sorry, he's your 2nd best friend then mucker.

 

[AnimoEtFide]

A banker and a sex offender. All he needs to do is add a stint fighting for ISIS and he'll have a well-rounded CV.

 

[SkyBluesRose]

Good luck to Grimsby. In all honesty I want to play them in the league again. We have no proper rivals in this league so hope they can come up so we can give them a proper smashing again. Only been in the same league once with them in the last 35 years. Hopefully Lincoln come up as well

What about Hull?

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Never one to judge anyone too quick but that tale about not knowing their age does look right thin, especially when we know they were the sort to then want money and bottle him. Not exactly stellar judgement.

 

[Craig Harrison]

Right, so what happens to Craig Harrison then? Is this what he gets for parting with his beloved Phil Collins tapes?

Craig mate, if you're reading this then just shoot me a pm. I've got all of Phil's catalogue on mp3s and will gladly forward the lot to you.

Chin up mate. ♫Su-Su-Sussudio♫

Well ya knaa, a still cannit believe a didn't get it like. Life aalways gans against aal odds. A reckon Fenty showed his true coulaz.

Aal them knocks in me life, did yous knaa a had to pack in footbaal when a wos 24? A've managed in the Champions League and aal keep on provin them wrong. Momentum aaalways carries me through and we gan again. Am keepin me penthoose on the Grange Estate, a've got a huge affinity with the area.

How rude!

 

[Impish]

Who?

 

[Indian Dan]

Any relation to Dom Jolley?

Does he have any hockey sticks?

 

[ValiantRob]

It read like they’ve just rehashed his application.

Not sure what role he had with us, vaguely remember his name from a few years ago.

To put up a hetero front maybe?

 

[Dave-Vale]

Maybe when Adam Johnson is out of prison he will join him there. He will be looking for a club in that sort of area.

I'm confused, does being found not guilty of an offence make you a sex offender?

It's quite funny really, I've seen a lot of noise from Lincoln on this and for a club who didn't see us as rivals when they were shit it's a bit strange.

 

[GodsGift]

He pleaded guilty and was convicted, wasn't he?

He was found guilty Lew and had to sign the sex offenders register for a year. At the end of the year the case was looked at and he was deemed to be okay to work with young people again by both the English and Scottish FA's on the understanding that he thought the girl (who had obviously gained entry to a nightclub and should have been ID'd on entry) was 19 and the fact that it was Jolley himself who rang the police, thinking nothing more of it, when he was later attacked by the girl and her friends.

He obviously knows he made a mistake and will need to live with that and the repercussions it will bring from opposing fans, but I'm fine having him as a manager as it was an honest mistake that I'm sure a lot of people on here could easily make after a few beers.
