[Football] He's been gone too long

[Brovion]

I'm not sure how getting Luton to last seasons Championship playoffs is a failure. Sure he failed with Stoke, but his two tenures at Luton have been very good. How much that means when it comes to his PL credentials remains to be seen, but for a manager like Nathan Jones he'd be stupid to turn down an offer to manage a PL club.

Of course he'd be stupid to turn it down, and of course getting Luton to the play-offs isn't failure, I never said it was. But the fact remains he's done absolutely nothing in his career to date to suggest he'll be able to hack it in the PL. His achievements at Luton are like me wanting to be in the Olympic swimming team because I've got a certificate for swimming a width without armbands.

He got Luton, on a tiny budget, to a higher Championship finish, than Potter achieved at Swansea.

I don't think Swansea's budget was that big either, and Potter of course had had success before he came to Swansea and a reputation for being an original thinker. But fair enough, it's about opinions, I think Jones isn't a PL quality manager and others think he could well be. Hopefully we'll find out!

I am not much of a fan tbh, always struck me as a bit of a dick

"Here he is. Jonesy. (shakes head) I've just seen it mate. I thought you were bigger than that mate. Eh, you've gone down clutching your face. It's not even touched your face. It's not even touched your face mate. (shakes head) So there you go."

One of the more memorable post-match Albion interviews!

Good deal for Luton again.

Let him go whilst collecting some compensation and re-appoint him on a free when he's sacked in a few months time.

My thoughts precisely.
