I think the manner of the defeat will be a factor. Only if we are humiliated will they consider sacking him.

Well, as has become very apparent, I'm afraid the people choosing Jones did not know something us fans don't. All the smoke and mirrors from Ankersen that things are all sweetness and light on the training ground and they see things we are not privy to which convince them Jones will turn this around is just fluff and bullshit. Unfortunately, unless we get absolutely smashed on Saturday, we are stuck with Jones and all of us are paying for Ankersen's self indulgence. I noticed he tried to deflect the blame away from solely himself by saying they decided on Jones as a collective and all had input - if that's the case we're in a worst position than I thought because this goes to prove they are all basket cases.

Are you sure he spotted Thomas Frank? I think he was just part of a group that brought Frank to Brentford. It's a stretch to think someone who spotted the talent of Frank also spotted enough traits in Nathan Jones to do a similar job. The two managers are polar opposites.

When Jones is sacked are you happy for the same group of clowns led by Ankersen to preside over appointing his successor based on a load of claptrap algorithms and garbage spewed out by a compute? This lot haven't got a clue how to run a football club,

But they didn't really did they. Just came up with some glib rubbish to appease those who are willing to fall for it. It's what people like Ankersen are very good at. Jones will go sooner rather than later and rightly so. Maybe then Ankersen will grow a pair and admit he screwed up.

More spin than a twin tub washing machine from Rasmus.

A pleasure to watch these young lads who are everything the senior side is not. They pass and move, play between the lines and zip the ball around confidently while maintaining a solid shape. Every player knows his job and gets on with it with skill and effort. Chalk and cheese from the first team.

The bowed heads speak volumes.

You need to address your question as to why Jones was appointed to the genius that is Rasmus Ankersen. He could have been man enough to stand up and explain in the fan's forum today but it seems all he had to say on the subject was that Jones needs to be given more time with the new players. Will more time make Jones better able to communicate with the press in his interviews and stop him lashing out like a drunk outside a nightclub? He is the face and voice of our football club - is Ankersen happy with that? Will more time make him a better coach? I doubt that very much and time is something we don't have. The whole thing is a mess and those involved in this appointment need to hang their heads in shame. Never trust someone who comes across as a bit of a hipster guru and writes books about achieving success because most of it is padding, waffle, fluff and bullshit. We've been conned by a charlatan I'm afraid and he continues to make important decisions concerning the future of Southampon FC. Bonkers!

As expected it sounds as though it's been an easy ride for the panel. Sounds as though Ankersen has controlled the direction of questions and been able to soft peddle on the Jones stuff. Reading between the lines there's either no fans there with the balls to go for them or, if there are, they're not being allowed to speak. Fully expected it to run like this. Complete charade presided over by charlatans who are ruining our great football club.

I said 'most'.....Bree is one of the exceptions 🙂

He doesn't pick most of them!

Can anyone post bullet points of what's been said so far.

No. Somebody on here said I had an invite but it was actually user name Ant.

Pretty much I reckon. Will be no bombshell revelations that's for sure. Think it'll be a tame affair for those attending and a major disappointment.

Anyone know what time the Fan's Fob-Off starts?

Not a fan of Semmens but Ankersen has probably done far more damage to the football club.

'For those 100 reasons, it is with pleasure Nathan that you are fired!'

But the whole point is Ralph was done. Results had spiralled downwards so we got rid. At that point SR and, in particular Ankersen, made a monumental feck up by appointing Mad Nate. Why SR did that needs to be explained in detail by Ankersen. He should be held to account for a ridiculous decision which has only made a bad situation ten times worse.

Isn't it about time Ankersen entered the Dragan's Den? Maybe Dragan could ask him a few pointed questions about what he's done with his investment and, when he's listened to Ankersen's dodgy answers he'd say, 'For that reason Rasmus, I'm out!'

I'm not sure why SR would sack Jones today - haven't they already confirmed he is still in charge and will be or the Wolves game at least?

From where I'm sitting Ankersen is going through a fair amount of Dragan's hard-earned. When can we expect the short temper and wrath to kick in?

People like Ankersen have an inner belief that they are far more intelligent than the rest. He'll likely be arrogant enough to assume he can easily deal with/deflect questions from those with far less intelligence than himself. He'll be anticipating taking this in his stride.

If true Semmens just went up a little in my estimation.

You'd need access to Mad Nate's mind for that because it is a figment of his imagination.
