I don't see what's patronising about my reply, i have a different opinion that is all. And I haven't painted a picture, that's my point we don't know what the reason for the deal to break down was. We were close to a short term deal, then something happened. As has been said on here there is plenty of stuff that SR have fucked up and losing out on an average manager for a short term deal is way down the list for me.

See that to me is over reacting, it's a negotiation over a couple of days and one party has pulled out in the last knockings, before an announcement was made. That's it, no big deal. Everything else you said is speculation and hyperbole.

No I agree with those issues, I'm talking specifically about JM.

I think people are over reacting about this, it isn't a clusterfuck, its just a negotiation that fell at the last hurdle. No big deal and not a stick to beat the club with.

The ref abandoned my sons under 14s game on Sunday, because one of my fellow coaches wouldn't stop arguing with the other manager. He wasnt swearing or aggressive but he just wouldnt stop going on, this drew some of their parents over, who he then started arguing with. I tried to call him back to our area but he was gone. The ref warned him and then rightly abandoned the match. It was embarrassing and he was embarrassed by it a couple of hours later. But the ref did the right thing and it should happen more often.

Have things got worse? Things have always been bad.

We are both correct, by the table they were 16th, but teams hadn't played equal amount of game. If you look at it by round 26 of games, which is more fair, they were 18th.

I think if we do appoint Marsch we should have a 48 hour amnesty of lols american soccerball talk, like goal minder, offense, scored a great point. Then bench any asshole who does it afterwards.

3 games to get a win, they were 18 when he took over and finished 17. Bielsa's 0.9 pt/game to his 1.2 pt/game. And the survival not in their hands on the last day, was due to goal difference with Bielsa shipping in goals at 3 per game to Marsch's 1.6. By anyone metrics he improved the team and kept them up. Calculations done on the toilet so may not be 100% accurate 😉

How was it a fluke last season, he had 12 games, 4 wins and 3 draws. A losing period of 3 matches that was Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea. Pretty solid mid table performance, that would have netted 47 points over the season.

No it's the other way around, he's said he wouldn't go for the Barcelona job because of his connection with Espanyol.

They can indicate a trajectory.

'In the frame' by the papers maybe but Rasmus only had eyes for Jones.

Live score have it as 2 on and 8 off.

Lemina, second yellow for dissent, what a fuckin cock 🤣

He wasn't the manager.

Yes the sense of responsibility to get himself fit is admirable. The policing of other's less so.

My mate was a low level coach at Brighton when Jones was there and WhatsApped me when he was appointed our manager. Fuck me really I remember being in the gym with Nathan at Falmer when he was at BHA In fairness he was dedicated and working like a lunatic to return from injury and blew his top at Leon Knight and Kazim Richard’s for fucking about That certainly sounds like the Jones we know and the 'fuck me really' has turned out to be quite telling.

You know moaning on a message board has near to zero affect on the team.

The one where he got the × and the ÷ mixed up and the results came out back to front.

When you're up against it, it's just about points. When you have enough points it becomes about style. Puel illustrates this.

If we had won six, he wouldn't have thrown players under the bus, moaned about fans or delected blame. That's what people have a problem with. He would possibly have been insufferable but that would be forgiven if we were mid table.
