A live audio twitter chat going on now with Blackmore and co... https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1YqKDojEwrvxV

You'll have to explain who the one in bold is to DT. He doesn't have a clue who he is....

Are these last two pages officially the most laugh-out-loud funny in Saintsweb history?! 😂

I've got a decent quality copy of the photo that was originally posted on an old laptop somewhere. Will have to dig it out one day

Happy days

Yep. Just before he became 'lifelongcherry' on the Bournemouth forum

Would Adam have come out with such a damning assessment if he wasn't certain that SR were about to get rid of Jones, given he knows he'd have to face him in a press conference in the not too distant future and how awkward that would now be...?

Heya Sidney me ol' mucker, Any chance you could repeat that on here every day for the foreseeable future, just in case we all forget? It'll also help the forum's medal allocation committee at the end of the season to ensure the right people get the recognition that they crave... oops, sorry... that they deserve... Thanks in advance 👍

Yep, almost guaranteed they'll trot out the same pre-prepared spin and platitudes

Hiya. What's Lord D like to work with?

This is the biggest mystery of all to me. One that would surely have baffled Arthur C Clark too. How does a team go from being that decent (albeit in patches) to utter tripe in the space of a few months, and beyond? If the players were simply "championship standard" then they wouldn't have been able to go on that kind of run at all, in patches or otherwise. It's got to come down to a combination of confidence and attitude, which is ultimately down to the manager to instill.

If you'd disclosed this when you were calling out others for slating him we'd have understood where the bias was coming from...

Over to our betting correspondent @Matthew Le God in the studio...

Yeah, a small part of me is actually now intrigued to see what this remarkable transformation will look like....

Surely there's a manager somewhere in the land that could get that starting 11 firing on all cylinders?

Isn't suggesting that he would have been a success at Saints because he ended up being a success at Newcastle straying into non-sequitur territory? (FWIW, I think he would have been a good choice for us but just pointing out that there was no guarantee that he would have been successful here)

He seemed fine with players questioning his tactics a few weeks ago...

Yeah, clueless...

Mother in law?

Surely there's enough material here for one of those Hitler Downfall videos. Any volunteers?

Yep, Ian Wright laying into him big time.

One thing is clear, reading back through this thread, 20 days is a long time in football... this page being a case in point: https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/topic/59761-nathan-jones-out/page/41/

😂

I'm in exactly the same mindset. It's quite cathartic I agree.

I get where you're coming from but, unless it's a small minority of the players who are rocking the boat, how does telling the players to "fuck off" result in a harmonious squad?
