"Jolley has replaced Russell Slade, who was fired with Town 17th in League Two.
The 40-year-old has been without a job since leaving his role as manager of Swedish side Eskilstuna following their relegation from the top division.
Jolley worked in investment banking before taking on football coaching roles with clubs including Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Crewe.
He joined Burnley as youth-team coach in 2014, leaving to take charge of Eskilstuna in June 2017 with the team winless and bottom of the Allsvenskan.
Eskilstuna won four of their 19 games under Jolley but still finished bottom of the table."
Which bit of this sounds like bad news to you Blue?
There's plenty of evidence that teams without a manager tend to to do quite well. There's actually very little evidence for the new manager effect. It's just that we remember it when a new manager comes in and a team seems to improve. GC's high point for us was a 0-0 draw in his first game ...........
In Sweden Eskilstuna appointed Jolley because they were struggling. He was supposed to keep them up. He didn't exactly do a Roy Hodgson did he? Maybe he'll land the big tuna for Grimsby, maybe the EU quotas will do for him.
"Jolley left his roles at Stirling & Falkirk in 2009. He was convicted of unknowingly having sex with a 15-year-old girl after a night out at a Stirling nightclub with friends.[3] It was confirmed in court that the girl and her friends had lied to him about her age, telling him that she was 19 years old, and he was subsequently cleared by the UK Government and both the English Football Association and the Scottish Football Association to continue all football coaching activity in late 2009."
