iif jones get the job who will be his no2

[ac gull]

Paul Trollope - part of the Chris Houghton staff at Norwich is a very good coach - he got Bristol Rovers established in top half of League One - was then sacked as they did not get to Wembley in the paint pot cup (fired day after they loft in semi final I think).

In the three or four years since then they must have been through about six managers and got relegated twice - case of not knowing how well off you were manager wise until a few years later

This might be a bit of a stretch, but how about Steve Coppell?

Low pressure/responsibility but still working in football full time; even if it was just for a year or two he could be a fantastic foil for the inexperienced Jones. A thinker to help a motivator. That way, Jones would have someone with vast experience and knowledge of the club - plus someone he knows well - as his assistant to help him overcome any hurdles the new man may encounter.

Who knows - it may even reinvigorate Coppell's passion for the game

It won't be Calderon (sadly) before anyone says it.

Why has Jones told you this personally?

 

[Justice]

Jones won't get THE job, this time.

But it would seem he's doing well in securing his position as assistant manger to the new 'gaffer'.
Something I doubt was a foregone conclusion a week ago.

Which basically means he'll be manager in less than 12 months time.

I think he will be appointed tomorrow, but then my info may be wrong.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

I'd go for an experienced ex-manager like Coppell or Jewell.

Give it to Jones, time for the haters to realise he actually has something about him. He knows the club, the squad and yes he upset us fans a while back but he knows he did wrong and apologised years ago. Give it to him and bring the one who drinks pints of whiskey in as his number 2. This club needs some stability ffs.

It's NSC, course he has.

I would have suggested Barry Lloyd as the Blooms all loved him but I think he has been seriously ill. Anybody know how he is progressing.

Tony Bloom told me Nathan and himself have no idea who you are though

 

[jamie the seagull]

The obvious option would be someone with experience like Curbishley.
NJ did state when he took over that he wanted Calderon to help out but decided he still had too much to offer ON the pitch (he was made captain).
However, NJ seems to work well with Rusk so would expect changes at a lower level to replace Rusk and Simon Ireland.

I'm pretty sure Mark McGhee would be contacted. Possibly Dean Wilkins too

Mark McGee now their is a good call is Jones/McGee the dream ticket?

Could carry on with Scotland as well. Was TB involved in his sacking I dont think he was on the scene much then, at least not so prominent.

Definitely a Jones recomendation he was.

Worries me if Jones gets the gig , what fodder he'll buy in January.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Calderon. And it will happen (till the end of he season).

Hughton has been interviewed for hours and it hasn't happened.

Bring on the little Welsh *******

 

[pornomagboy]

Can't believe no one said Micky Adams as his number 2
