Lee On Solent Saint

Followed by a Q/A on XG and the virtues of stats

The fact that he took training today, is enough to tell me he's not going anywhere.

Once a scummer, always a scummer

If nobody is, SR simply can't just let this play out with Jones in charge. Even if its just Selles until the end of the season.

Agreed. Would take Selles being in charge over Jones. I seriously expected him to be out this morning.

This is the main worry for me. Its possible we have sounded out and approached guys like Benetiz and Nuno, and they have said no thanks. Maybe SR have just decided to stick with Jones as they can't find any alternatives. I know its a stretch that they can't find anyone better, but with this lot something surprises me.

Am beginning to wonder if they even interviewed him for the job. Strikes me that Ankersen was so determined to get him here, he didn't give a shit how he came across

They have to act now. What possible reason is there to keep Jones in post? Ankersen and his fuckin ego or pathetic experiment is going to see us relegated if it hasn't already.

Not saying it will happen, and am sure it won't, but I wonder what happens if any other the squad actually refuse to play?

Pretty sure he said he was missing this weekend due to a family commitment

Or ant player that dares question his methods

At the very least the board need to release some kind of statement to at least try and rationalise why Jones is still in a job.

Not quite sure what they are discussing to be honest. He has to go

Have a terrible feeling he'll still be manager come Saturday. I don't think they are going to sack him this week.

Sounds very plausible, didn't they announce Ralph had left at 10am on a Monday morning?

Absolutely not

If they aren't going for Selles as an interim, it needs to be Benetiz. Contract to the end of the season, bonus if he keeps us up.

Same. Will be surprised if they sack him.

Does that make Rasmus the number one suspect? He was "overseeing" transfers"

Steady on. He is still Welsh

Ralph said a lot of things, but he never blamed the fans

Must mean the players have been questioning him

Probably Watford

Would even take Branfoot over Jones

Exactly. Even a half decent manager would be able to keep us up
