All I am saying is if we go down Jones will be sacked. You're saying he won't be. We'll see how it goes x x x

It wasn't Brighton it was Brentford. I admire you salivating at the prospect of a wonder administrator who can only "take a club up" by, er, relegating them in the first place. But that isn't actually how the real world works. Jones will be sacked on relegation because he will have failed.

Sports Republic did not hire Ralph and he did not report to them for the total duration of his tenure. Nice try. Either way we didn't get relegated under Ralph, if we did he'd have been sacked no question. That's kind of the point I'm making. Jones will be sacked if he fails and we go down. I just hope you can cope with the heartbreak.

He was recruited to keep us up. The fan base didn't want him then, don't want him now and if he fails to keep us up the fanbase atmosphere will be toxic. There is no scenario where he gets to "rebuild the club" or whatever if he takes us down. He will be hounded out, he will go. It's not about "entitlement", Spoets Republic have been talking a bloody good game, not about staying up but about building for the top half. It's them saying that, not me. Them. Have a pop at them with your "entitlement" pomposity. And we stick with a manager for four years and all of a sudden we are Watford. Ok mate, okay then.

The idea that Nathan Jones has somehow earned the right to a "few windows" is the only laughable thing about this post......"and if we go down, so be it". Seriously, what the fuck? Jones was recruited to keep. us. up. That's the brief. That's it. Not "have his own team in place for a few windows and if we go down so be it". Just utter garbage. If we go down he's sacked. If he goes on like this he won't make Pancake Day. There ain't no long term project happening right now.

Jones being shit does not make sacking Ralph an incorrect call. Jones can lose 10 games in a row and that won't change. Ralph's time was up. Recruiting Jones was a easily predictable obvious mistake but that's a different argument.

Why not is my question. Ralph Hasenhuttl was "a top manager from Europe" and we recruited him during the oh-so-dreadful Gao era. This is the forward thinking exciting Sports Republic era and we paid compensation out to get this fucking idiot in. I was expecting a half decent manager from these supposed bloody visionaries.

We can only dream of playing of with the financial big boys like Brentford and Brighton. Oh how I long for the days where we outspent such titans. Oh the poverty the poverty the poverty.

The fans haven't "turned on him". No Saints fan on earth wanted him in the first place.

He's going to prove all the doubters and nay-sayers wrong this guy, he definitely is.

We recruited him within a day or two of Ralph going so it's not like we spent weeks agonising over candidates. This is not like when Spurs recruited Nuno last year. Nathan Jones was undeniably one of the first names on the spreadsheet, and they couldn't fucking wait to recruit him. So don't buy this post-rationalisation bullshit from Manji or whoever his source is. What happened show you the facts. Sport Republic wanted Nathan Jones and they got him.

It's difficult not to believe that Sport Republic bought is to fail as some kind of elaborate tax dodge. Every decision they have made just suggests that they fully intend for us to be relegated.

Claude Puel was still getting blamed three years after he left the country so I don't see that is too much of a problem.

RALPH HASENTHUTTL'S TEAM

Edozie will never, ever, ever, ever score.

Let the sixteen year old on. Make his day. We're no good at football so we might as well be the Premier League version of the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Dyche was managing in Prem while Nathan Jones shit the bed at Stoke City so what's your point?

I thought he'd been working with them since November? Or was that a different manager?

But Sport Republic did spreadsheets and scouting on him and everything. They know better than us.

New manager bounce going great then.

If this was the world cup, he'd have scored that.

Fair play young Jimmy Morgan. Yesterday morning he unwrapped a new bike and a Buckaroo from Santa and today he's on the bench for a Premier League team.

What a line up that is! *

That reads to me like you weeping, not me sweetheart. Cheer up, its Christmas x x x x My point is the people who value "rest" and obsess about fixture pile up will do it regardless of how good we are. We probably will go down because we're not very good. If you honestly believe that if we s p r e a d t h e g a m e s o u t so that our delicate flowers only ever played once every eight days then we'd magically turn into a wonder team the you're more thick than I already thought you were. Maybe a tight run of games will help build the team and the ideas the new manager wants in place. Maybe that. My Football team keeps playing football matches like every three days and it's not fair why don't they stop wah wah wah wah wah Chin up x

I will never understand the generation of fans who seem absolutely desperate for us to play as few matches as is humanly possible. Two weeks in a row of midweek plus weekend games and it's meltdown time. "Worrying". Jesus wept.
