Does anyone think Dragan will sanction spending money on transfers while this idiot Jones is still in charge? It would be madness upon madness. I am sure he will have his finger on the pulse and right now he has some huge decisions to make which will dictate where the club, his club goes from here. It's his money not SR's as far as I'm aware.

They will be forced to sack him for two reasons, 1) if results and performances continue their credibility will be zero and Dragan will either sack them and Jones or insist they sort their shit out and 2) the fans and players will not tolerate it - imagine how many wouldn't renew season tickets with this clown still in charge.

Why would a successful businessman like Dragan leave his investment in the hands of a bunch of frauds like SR? Surely it's in his best interest to bomb them out and appoint people who know what they are doing. I can't believe he'll tolerate it.

Agree and SR have now backed themselves into a corner. They find themselves in a very sticky situation - do they sack Jones or hope that he shows the traits they saw in him that frankly nobody else does? Either way they will surely have some explaining to do to Dragan because they are presiding over a complete mess and have also managed to alienate most of the customer/fan base. Not exactly how they like to perceive themselves and they risk losing a lot if not all of their credibility. Without doubt they have been a disaster for this football club we all love.

Why bring Tella back from a club where he is being well coached to have him coached by Nathan Jones?

This game has zero importance in the grand scheme of things. We'll lose but it matters not a jot.

Rasmus Wankersen is more apt.

I don't think it's just about recovering the situation - it's more about stopping him doing any more long term damage. We need the coaching and running of the football club to be back on a more even keel but with NJ in charge we are heading full speed towards the rocks.

In all seriousness it will be less painful for us all to accept that things won't get any better this season and we will be going down. It's the hope that gets you and I no longer have any after the appointment of Jones. It was a massive mistake and an opportunity missed by SR who continue to prove that they have about as much idea of how to run a football club as Liz Truss had of running the country. Along with many others I was excited when RS took over but it's time to accept that they are just a bunch of frauds who pulled the wool over our eyes along with the useless Semmens. I'd love to know what Dragan makes of it all because presumably he'll be the big loser financially. Where we go from here is anybody's guess but let's hope we are not in free fall and can get through this and come out the other side stronger - I won't hold my breath.

Exactly.

The fans deserve to be told immediately what the feck SR are planning and how they think they'll achieve it because right now they are taking the urine.

The season after next in Div 1

Along with Semmens and the SR crew.

Next up in the league Everton away. Now, what is our recod at Goodison Park like? 🙂

God willing.

If he turns the game round with those subs he is a miracle worker. It'll beat the loaves and fishes trick for sure.

Wonder what Dragan thinks of it all.

3 at the back and picking Lyanco doesn't work. We don't need to be rocket scientists to know that. Jones must be some kind of nutcase.

It was the correct decision but the owners should have done it in the summer and appointed someone with some pedigree. No need o be smug because Ralph had to go with his record. The fact that RS contrived to cock everything up doesn't make the decision to sack Ralph wrong.

RS need to bite the bullet and admit they got the appointment of Jones horribly wrong. They owe that to the paying fans because they are having the piss taken out of them. Press the reset button, get a new manager in pronto and start spending money in this window. If not we may as well give up. It's a total clusterfuck. Semmens needs to come up with reasons why he chose these charlatans as well instead of hiding in his ivory tower.

It's no wonder the team amble onto the field resembling a bunch of Christians about to be thrown to the lions. We need a leader to build them up not a defeatist who sends them out beaten before a ball is even kicked. I thought Jones was at least going to have some spirit in him but he's coming across as a bit of a wimp who wants to get his excuses in before the match has kicked off. This is one we must win so a rallying cry is needed not all this pathetic whimpering. Jeez.

I've already explained that, in my view, the type of goals he scores are spectacular in the main. He's scored goals against top opposition including a superb hat trick against Spurs. Still, probably not good enough for us.

That's fair enough. Only my view on what I've seen of him so far. I think it's even tougher for youngsters if they're very small especially at this level. He might well fill out and toughen up a bit because he looks to have a bit of skill.

Like a twelve year old kid playing against men.

I'd suggest you look at his skills videos which will give you an idea of the type of spectacular goals he scores.
