Please TB don't even think about appointing Jones

[symyjym]

How is appointing Jones a lesser risk. He has NEVER managed anyone. He has only coached at the powerhouses of British football Yeovil and Charlton. He assisted Garcia in what was a thoroughly boring year (admittedly the play offs were a success), he recommended players like Obika and he was part of a coaching set up which has completely failed this year. He knew the players well two weeks ago as well as he does now! Quite simply Pulis, Hughton, McDermott have all been successful and would be better choices than NJ. We need to show intent.

Quite simply, Pulis is a pipe dream for some on here, and McDermott is the dullest manager out there. Out of your suggestions it is only Hughton who I would consider, but even he couldn't do the job without Jones.

Therefore completely under motivating Jones and the squad... Yeah what a great move

I want Jones to believe he has a chance of getting the job, certainly will increase our chances of getting a result at Fulham

Maybe, maybe not.

The point I'm making is that Barber would not have allowed that quote to go out if there wasn't some truth behind it.

The club need Jones to believe he has a chance otherwise why would he bother doing anything apart from go through the motions. Barber answered a question, he can't then tell people what they can and can't report. Barber is all about PR, the fact he mentions Jones had a chance to me tells me Jones doesn't.

If they appoint Jones then it shows a real lack of ambition by the board, now is a perfect time for a clear out and get in a good experienced manager

Anyone but Jones, this would be a disaster of Tinselhead proportions as well as alienating a vast majority of supporters

Or a lack of available people who want to come here.

I'm not uncomfortable with Jones running things for now. He appears to have the dressing room onside.

In the long term he probably isn't the best available candidate.

 

[el_ciddy]

Vast majority? Utter nonsense, even without capitals.

 

[jessiejames]

Jones was part of the problem with Hyppia as to where we are now, so he can not be a solution as well.

 

[Eeyore]

Appears to be a candidate called 'Houghton' that the Argus comments column keeps mentioning.......

 

[Motogull]

I wouldn't go that far, but its a bit ambitious expecting Jones to keep us up.

Maybe it's overly ambitious, but I was expecting the players to keep us up...

Professional pride?

It does still exist in some people.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Agreed, would be the worst appointment in history and make us look a complete laughing stock in L1...complete flop with 1 year history only a bunch of idiots would consider someone not up to being Asst Manager when Sami Drippier arrived

 

[B.W.]

Anyone coming into the club cold wouldn't have a clue about any of our current players and could also be considered a risk. Bringing in the fans preference like a Pulis or Sherwood would only be on a deal until the end of the season, so if we get relegated they would leave. Our predicament is no one else’s problem but our own, and not many managers will come to us and sign a long contract and take genuine ownership of the job whilst relegation is a strong possibility, which it is.

The only person Bloom can really put his trust in now on the footballing side is Jones, because someone like Pulis saying we need £5m spent on players, in January, to stay up will not be helpful. There will be too many conditions written into a contract and an easy way out would also be included.

We need stability not a short term imaginary fix, and Jones is as qualified as what we need. If there is a chance of him being our Eddie Howe he should be given the opportunity and there is no time like the present. Jones has also got far more experience of the Championship than Karl Robinson so looking down the leagues for a manager isn't the answer.

Great comeback yesterday, and we don't see many of those coming from 0-2 down. The fans favourite Calde turned a blunder into a blinder, I loved the long throw plan and we dug deep and battled to the end.

Looking forward to Fulham so we should just wish him nothing but a good team performance and see what happens.

Couldn't disagree more. Experience of managing in the Championship is what we need. Not a half-ar$ed cheap and nasty solution in the shape of Jones, who is a big part of the reason we are in this mess now.

Barber and Bloom may have pencilled him in for another job within the club , we do have a vacancy for a DS manager.

 

[e77]

Getting rid of Burke and appointing a Head Scout (by another job title) suggests Bloom is after the experienced manager large sections of NSC hanker for. Suspect he will staty around in some capacity though.

I suspect he will be a manager one day though.

Half ar$ed cheap and nasty a child like argument at best.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Forgetting the second half yesterday the way we started was enough to show he isn't up to it.

His team selection and tactics were identical i.e. shithouse

 

[Seasider78]

A battling second half performance and all of a sudden Jones should be in the frame??!!! Think people have been drinking too much of the xmas sauce. Jones deserves to remain with the club but as a coach or development manager but leading the first team you must be joking

 

[Napper]

Don't want jones at all. Yesterday I was open minded to backing him whilst caretaker but he puts out the same crap that has got us in this mess . He had perfect chance to mix the tactics up and freshen it up but to see him use the same as Hyypia was very weak really .
