Nathan Jones

[el punal]

Probably the sentiment of anyone whilst at the Withdean.......

Exactly! At that time we were hardly going places. Falmer was still years away, and players, and managers, had left because we were still stuck in "limbo - land". Think Micky Adams (first time), Peter Taylor and Steve Coppell.

Nathan jones Brighton through and through.
He bleeds blue and white.

 

[Return of the Rev]

no,

i think he will have one eye on the managers job here, when sami inevitably leaves/gets sacked in the next few years.

this

 

[Mackenzie]

Maybe, depends on the wages. Loyalty won't come into it.

 

[DJB]

Waiting for the barrage of "I'll drive him there myself if he wants to go" comments.

No chance IMO especially as he is now assistant Manager here.

Didnt stop Sammy Lee jumping ship....

 

[grubbyhands]

Yes. It's closer to Wales innit?

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Nathan Jones has a very real fondness for the city and the club. He kept his flat in Brighton for long after he left the Albion and although his career took him all over the place after leaving the Valleys Brighton is the place he regards as 'home' above any other. There is perhaps a deficit of people at the club who feel that way.

 

[Mowgli37]

You couldn't be more wrong. He's the guy in the Withdean programme who when asked if he was happy here, the very limited talent that is NJ said 'yes, until a bigger club comes in for me'

Out of interest, how many years ago was that?

 

[Superseagull69]

Didnt stop Sammy Lee jumping ship....

No it didn't, however I don't think you can compare the two.

1, Sammy had yet to Sign officially, Nathan has a contract with us.
2, Sammy Lee has no affiliation with he Albion, Nathan does.
3, Sammy lee went to a premiership Club, Watford are competing in the same league as us.

Hence the use of 'presume'. Also, how long ago was that? Other people have grown up and matured, I'd hope has that ability too.

 

[Rogero]

No.

Leaving aside whether he actually said that or not, the 'very limited talent' that is NJ - won two champions medals with Brighton, plus a play off medal.
Then as assistant manager with Yeovil, achieved play off final runner's up, followed by becoming Charlton U21's coach winning the division beating Brighton into second place.

I doubt there are very many players who achieve that in their careers.

Ever since we reduced the number of Spaniards in the squad to those who could speak English he must have been looking for things to do.
Unless Watford change tack, or NJ is also fluent in Italian, I can't see him leaving. I would, however, be very surprised if he ended up in out top seat.

When you say other people I assume you are discounting many on here

Spammy Lee had signed a contract. He could have been forced to work his notice if the club had been feeling particularly arsey.

 

[dan4bha]

Nope, loves the club

Why would he be looking for things to do? He takes training every day, which he is well qualified to do with UEFA B & A badges.

 

[Icy Gull]

Nathan Jones is part of the furniture at the Albion now I feel. A bit of continuity in a fast changing landscape.

He's even grown up and has an adult's hair style now I believe.

 

[The Large One]

Looks like one or two people have moved on from David Burke...

 

[Scunner]

I don't get what u mean?!

Back to the Future Sheebs, you're too young, evidently!
