Weston Super Saint

The pattern seems to be that when the (his) emotions are taken out of the equation, the pressers are fairly normal. Nothing unusual said yesterday (he's definitely not the greatest orator), but nothing really controversial either, although he kind of brushed off the B team selections with some waffle that didn't make sense. Catch him after the match / in the heat of the moment though and it all goes bat shit crazy!

Into

Does that mean we've now nailed aggressiveness AND front footedness?

Does that mean that, statistically, Wigan Infirmary are the Best in Europe for 'at least' one early appointment - or that most of the other fuckwits in Wigan are hideously late for their hospital appointments?

In summary, statistically, Jones is correct as he is most certainly, hands down, the best in Europe at being the shittest Premier League manager. What's that saying about lies, damn lies and statistics?

Forest, Everton, villa, Brentford.

I'll take a wild stab in the dark and say that's like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted. Seems a little bit late for him to say it's all down to him after Saturday's press conference where he started to say the same thing but then went on to blame every man and his dog instead. Maybe, and I could be wrong, that's why some fans are getting het up about it.

It was "I don't need to answer your fucking stupid question, peasant" and then he walked off (didn't look back either).

How many times does he need to say it? We Ar3 HarDEr to BEat NoW! (Except for the games where we've been beaten quite easily).

Didn't we get fed some bollocks last week about players in the B team not necessarily meaning they wouldn't play on the Saturday? What happened to them?

No different to Poch. In fact, if memory serves, Poch got a much worse reception and way more scepticism than Jones, who has probably benefitted from a little 'benefit of doubt' from the fans precisely because of what Poch achieved. The difference is Poch earnt that respect by virtue of his results. Jones hasn't done that with his results nor with his comments (remember the 'they' remarks slipped in very early in his tenure).

Many people have already said it's not his fault he's the wrong person. Doesn't mean it's not right and therefore needs to be changed.

What's the old adage? Respect is earned? I'd say the vast majority of the fan base were sceptical of his appointment given his past achievements (manager of the year in the 6th best league in the world aside!), but were willing to give him a chance to show what he can do. The fact he'd had the whole WC break to plan and coach then delivered the pile of shit that he did, didn't do much to earn the respect from many.

We won't.

They tried seven others first but they couldn't keep a straight face when reading the script.

Care in the community.

Be even better if you could write one.

Checking in from Merthyr - figured I'd have a look out for any family members whilst here, but had to give up when I was overrun by small people with a chip on their shoulder called Jones.

How does that work? You've spent the last week telling everyone that he hasn't even grasped the basics of positioning that kids learn at the age of 7, but somehow this will suddenly all click and he'll be a top 'keeper.

I'm going with no, based on Dragan owning more than 75% of the shares of the Holding company that controls SR Ltd. I don't have the access to see who owns what in terms of number of shares, but one article that's published lists the shares with a value of £0.0001 so any share ownership even up to 25% is nominal at best and merely serves to confirm voting rights, attendance at AGM and the distribution of dividends (very unlikely!). The value is the same for both companies.

Possibly - it doesn't give that much detail on companies house. All it says is that Dragan owns more than 75% of the shares... @trousers may be able to shed more light - I'm pretty sure he / his company subscribe to Endole and can get the full shareholder listing

Now the questions about corporal Jones have been batted off, are we on to the good stuff yet about rainbow laces and pie flavours?

Nope - I posted screen shots of companies house listings on the other thread... Dragan - controls Holdings Holdings controls SR Ltd where Ankerson and Kraft are directors.

No. More than 75% of the shares of SR Ltd are owned by SR Holdings.

Second picture shows that Dragan owns more than 75% of the shares - safe to assume 100% - of SR Holdings. It's not shown in the pic, but companies house states SR Holdings owns more than 75% of the shares of SR Ltd. Not every company is set up the same...
