[Football] Gary Rowett sacked / Nathan Jones **NOW CONFIRMED AS REPLACEMENT**

[Kosh]

Hasnt he just taken over at an Indian Super League team?

Great move for him, he’ll save thousands a year on fake tan alone.

Cricket

I like to imagine he took the job and arrived, realised it was a cricket team and now he’s just blagging it with his sweater atop his shoulders.

Classic Brown.

I’ve been told by a Luton sth that Nathon Jones has agreed a deal with Stoke, and the two clubs are now negotiating a compensation package.

Saw it from ex-Stoke man Liam Lawrence. Blast from the past.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

He’s better off unemployed; Stoke’s a shit-hole.

Who’ve Stoke not tried yet from the gaggle of English journeymen:

Pardew

'Doubts about the Scot’s willingness to take a job in the Championship' the reason given for Moyes going cool on the prospect of succeeding Rowett.

If that's true and Moyes thinks he's too good for the Championship then he's sadly mistaken.

Wouldn't have thought many people had anything bad to say about Fat Frank. From the outside it looks as if he's doing a very decent job in the toughest division in the world. Impressive when you consider it's his first attempt at management.

In the playoffs and in touch with the top two at this stage is a very good achievement. It'll be interesting to see how he does/you do at the business end of the season as that's been your downfall previously. But this season's Championship is there for the taking if any team can get some sort of consistency.

If he can get rid of the "bottlers" tag then he'll have achieved something amazing......

Good luck btw. Would much prefer Derby/Sheffield United/ West Brom to go up instead of Dirty Leeds, Shithole Boro or the Six Fingered Farm crew.

Ta! Yeah, I just think some were very dubious about Derby taking on a Lamps in his first job. I agree though that the playoffs would be a a good result. Also agree, there's no 'standout' teams so you never know

A fair number or blue noses 'warned' us Rams what to expect, we did the same for Stoke fans, no-one listens to sour grapes from old club's fans do they


.

Norwich fans seem to hate Hughton.....

Norwich fans seem to hate Hughton.....

And Ipswich fans wanted rid of Big Mick. I see a pattern!

What with the Hatters where they are I would say that Jonesy would be insane to go to Stoke.

Money talks.

I get Jones' ambition and Stoke must be attractive to him with the money he can spend there and the squad already in place - but I'm not convinced this is the best move for him. I think he'd have been better off getting Luton promoted and then taking his pick next season of the Championship clubs who panic and sack their manager.

Incredibly wealthy club who, like the Albion, used to have a pragmatic approach to life in the Premier League before ambition (and Mark Hughes) got in the way.

Nathan Jones will set himself up for life if he can get that club going.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Oh dear, Nathan. Luton, Stoke, both horrible clubs. Please please please, don't go to Palace next time around, unless it's to relegate them.

There's the gamble isn't it - He has the chance to make a big jump up the ladder, grasping those opportunities is what ambitious people will do. They've made mistakes but Stoke must be very appealing to him....
