Our B team should be strong this week

Normally I'd say yes. But the guy is having an in public mental breakdown.

What the actual fuck do they expect to happen on Saturday? The atmosphere will be terrible. The team will be shit and we'll have squandered another must win game at the behest of Ankersen's ego. Madness.

There's got to be a difference between showing loyalty to a manager and keeping someone having a mental health episode in a highly charged environment

Wait, what? But their spending always seemed so reasonable

Now Lighthouse has merged the threads I feel confident it's happening today

Is this the part in the movie where they have a punch up, realise they are BFFs and then Brad Pitt goes on his 20 game winning streak?

If it's gross misconduct then you would suspend the person pending the outcome of your process. Particularly if there's a chance of harm to one of your employees. Whether that's Jones himself or someone else at the club.

The club either have to get rid of him now or give him a run of games. Given his spectacular meltdown over the weekend then keeping him longer seems irresponsible. Unless they believe that burning ping pong tables is the answer to our problems.

Yeah. Every time the ref gets mobbed and nothing happens it gives the green light to more of the same. Football would be a nicer place if refs just carded anyone screaming in their face and that would ripple through the whole culture.

I don't think it's a matter of comparison. It depends on how stable the person receiving it is. Some people would accept football fans are likely to have strong feelings they are going to express directly as part of the job. Others might feel they have to answer any criticism or that disagreement is a personal attack. We hired someone out of their depth who doesn't handle criticism well. I would imagine that the constant repetition of past achievements has been a self defence mechanism on the part of our manager. The club should look at how the manager handles criticism or dissent as part of hiring them. Because you can bet your bottom dollar it's not going to be unicorns and candyfloss the whole time. And you can't be in a leadership position if you're not comfortable with yourself.

If hotsaint is Nathan Jones then maybe we should collectively hope that he's getting the right support right now. He looked like he was at breaking point after the game. If you're not in a good headspace one might argue that spending time reading a fan forum isn't the best use of your time.

That's the kind of blue sky lateral thinking we need in our current league position. Statistically that side is going to create more chances than any club in the top flight.

Cleary we've got a big fella and quick fella up front so the formation is: Bazunu Bree Lyanco Bednarek Salisu ABK Perraud JWP Diallo Sulemana Onuachu

So. Very. Unlikeable.

Didn't you say that Jones had promised to improve players, not banish them?

This. Never trust a man who thinks he is Brad Pitt

Sadly I do. If Jones was Ankersen's choice and they are super footy stats best friends forever then he'll get given a chance to continue.

To be honest, the coppers round my neck of the woods would probably have it on TikTok before you could say "cat got the cream"

"I'm sorry officer, the cat looked a bit sad"

Pretty much against leaves some room. Under what circumstances would you be supportive of wanking off a domestic pet?

And there was me thinking he was making a dog's arse out of managing the club....

This is what we've been reduced to as we await for news from inside Southampton on our not-so-beloved leader 🤣

And to be fair to Blackmore he offered him questions in the interview after the game yesterday which would've allowed Jones to put a positive interpretation onto it. He didn't exactly go after him.

As long as he gets a fresh start and gets a chance to highlight his genius. What more could we ask for as fans?
