For me it’s a waste of an interview. But he has been incredibly loyal and you could argue he deserves an interview. Still can’t see him getting it. 

Probably a goodwill gesture to appease some of our fans, FV will probably say he was on the shortlist but he didn't have the relevant experience at this time.

Jolley’s last job was at Grimsby - he must have crabs

Massive mistake if he gets it.

Grey/Rudy combo would be better.

 I still think he’ll get potted.

You say that’s like it’s a bad thing.

He signed Vela and Doidge for Hibs...mmm.  Although he signed Kiefer Moore and Ollie McBurnie for Barnsley which made them a tidy profit, and got them promoted from Div 1 and to halfway in Championship when he left for Leeds.  Only given 3 months at Leeds so unfair to judge that with no transfer window etc. I'm not really interested in what he did in Scotland, same with so many other managers up there, it doesnt count for much as its such a wierd league. 

McBurnie, as well as he did, was only on loan from Swansea

he has applied for it or he wouldn’t have been given an interview surely?

they aren’t doing it to pay lip service I don’t reckon, they must be giving him the interview as they feel he’s a strong enough candidate I imagine. 

If he doesnt get it, hes out the door

Id think theyd let him interview for an alternative role

Nixon's a clueless cunt. I can't believe anyone takes him seriously.

He might as well just be any bloke down the pub.

He does my fucking head in. Only reason I've not stopped following is that we're not exactly blessed with media folk tweeting about us, even if it is mostly crap.

His current line is we're scraping the barrel and interviewing waifs and strays, whoever's free, but we've only gone and managed to not interview the only free agents who are actually any good (Bowyer, Clough). And if we just happen to find a decent free agent we'll just appoint them, otherwise we'll try and find some money to attract a bloke already in a job. His tone is as if to say we're this clueless, tinpot outfit desperate to get something for free.

Cunt.

I’m glad he’s got an interview tbf 

he won’t get it 

Grey & Rudy aka the chuckle brothers wouldn’t last 5mins 

Unless Lee puts together some absolutely world beating PowerPoint presentation on the lessons he's learned about the club in his years behind the scenes and how he would go about revolutionising it...

He’s lazy and has no ambition.

Otherwise, he’d have been gone years ago.

Am I missing something about Jolley?  How will it appease fans to interview him, is there a link?  Got a masters degree in economics at Cambridge according to Wiki, and was U23 manager at Burnley for 4 years before managing in Sweden then Grimsby.  Put him in the box marked  Available/Free/Low Salary/Happy to work under any transfer restrictions imposed by TP.

I think he was referring to Lee.

Swansea did alright out of him, signed for 250k, sold for £17.5m

 

Lee not for me been at the club too long as for the rest of the names being interviewed Reid is an interesting 1 just hope they get it right this time.

The only 2 that excite me are Evatt and Lowe, of the unemployed lot only Adkins fits the bill.

I don't get the excitement over Lowe. He's done well to get promoted twice in two seasons but he's done it with big budgets each time. He might not have that with us.

I'm pretty sure we could manage a bigger budget than Bury or Plymouth.

Under an embargo and with debts to repay?

Chris Powell and Michael jolly to be interview according to Nixon . Powell would be good 

If we're interviewing assistants in work then I hope Beale is amongst them
