Killers Knee

This Forest game is bigger than the one against them in '79.

What exactly is their experience in elite professional sports?

Sport Republic = WeWork Business built on the dreams of a deluded individual

What do the Stoke fans say?

I can see a way out of this mess but it would involve investment, balls and humility. we could hire Poch as a consultant for the rest of the season to literally reach Jones and his coaches what to do. He would order Jones to execute his instructions in training and on match days until the end of season. This could save our season, be within our existing budget and provide a stable base for future growth. could we tempt Poch?

His head has gone. He knows his value is on the slide, he knows his England career is toast, he knows neither the manager or coaches at SFC can help him revive his career. He needs to get out and join a club that takes management and coaching seriously.

Let him go back to managing Londis level clubs. He never had the dressing room to lose it.

Get rid whilst he is still under probation. Save some cash as well as some face.

and his experience

I can now see what Jones has been doing for the last 40 days, teaching us to play like Luton. Where are his clown shoes?

Play the kids and get 2023's 9 nil out the way

Close, but sadly, no cigar!

He didn’t, probably why his % win rate whilst good, was not good enough

I should have qualified that for you with "40 points in the Premier League". I thought it was inferred.

I suspect we will only be able to sign players from the Championship due to our crap position and form. What top flight player would join us, knowing there is >60% probability of relegation. Footballers careers are short enough. I don’t expect more than £20m being spent

Get rid. He lacks both physical prowess and close ball control at speed. Nobody at SFC is capable of coaching the latter, lacks the genetics for the former. Make him someone else’s dilemma and buy a real athlete with the farthing we will get for him.

4-4-2 Mara - Adams Aribo - Lavia - JWP -Armstrong Peraud - DCC- ABK - KWP McCarthy Fast passing, no crab football, shoot when inside 20 yards

Saints managers of the modern era who got close to or above a 40% win rate had similar profile: 1. They all played football at international level. 2. They moved to Saints after gaining managerial experience in or promotion to the top tier of their respective leagues. 3. Those above 40% win rates had also qualified for finals of respective domestic tournaments prior to Saints. Im not doubting the success of Mourinho/Klopp or others who have achieved great successes by other routes, but our organisational and hiring constraints produce a certain managerial profile. As Mourinho/Klopp can purchase players we can only dream of, we must coach brilliance into rough diamonds, a job Mourinho/Klopp cannot do but hire strong 2nds for and have the budgets to support. With our current setup, who is going to coach our players to attain peak performance at an individual or team level? Where did they gain this experience? Looking to the coaches, there is nobody of merit. Anything they have learned is from a book, course or playing with low level dross; no practical implementation within the top tier. Is Nate a tactical genius or a chancer trying to shortcut his way to the top table? We will find out over the next 6 matches.

At least Winchester still has a Gieves and Hawkes, the finest stitching these chancers would have seen is 3 inches above their appendix.

Look at the odds for Mad Nate being the next England Manager, if he had accomplished anything at a senior level, he would be mentioned in this list surely. https://m.skybet.com/football/manager-specials/event/29731199

But both Gerard and Arteta managed to get to the top of one field of endeavor before attempting another. This Boy Jones has accomplished nothing at a senior level in his entire life. Like i said, I hope he does it, lets see what the first six matches bring.

Best time to make an offer for him whilst his stock is at an all-time low.

We will know how much bullsh!t the propaganda specialists at Sport Republic have sold us by 06.01.2023. We have had 2 years to line up this deal (since Ings' departure), if we haven't secured our man by then then, we have no intention of signing anyone.

I see this similarly as Tesco replacing their CEO with the lady that runs the local Londis. It could work, lots of people say nice things about him, but he has never worked at a senior level in any field at all. I'm more than willing to be shocked, awed and to see us wipe the floor with the Premier League, let's get the first 6 matches out the way first. Less than 2 wins in our next 6 and i would say Jonesy needs to go back to Londis.
