I'm all for Siege Mentality. It worked for Mourinho, it worked for Ferguson. But when you're building siege walls, Nathan, you don't want to be the only one inside.

That's not a castle. It's a coffin.

Everyone who goes to the forum should just get up and walk out as soon as blackmore asks the first question in protest.

Having woken up and realised we are shit its nice that there is some perspective about and it could be worse be you could be prince harry and everyone knows you porked a fatty.

We are fucking shit

We've spent the most money in our history and got worse.

Fucking genius Rasmus

Its like there is a competition we dont know about in the premier league for the coaches, like who can do the worst job.

Klopp, Potter, Moyes, Jones.

Look at villa they were just as shit when Emery came in and now up to 11th, i know their squad was better but for fucksake the manager is such a key component.

Rasmus when he found out Semmens hired the wrong Jones

Rasmus when he gets into the training ground on monday

Page hundred might take us a few days. Can't we get it done by 70?

With all due respect if you keep posting all his excuses and I just shitpost we can make it happen...god willing.

Am wondering if we can get to page 100 on this thread before he is sacked.

Rasmus has dropped the biggest of bollocks on this one, whose going to trust him to get the next manager right ?

I'd let Selle's take us for the rest of the season, i dont think there is a manager who would come in who'd make an instant impact anymore, they've all been hired.

Whoever does though please stop selecting Bednerak, Moi and Diallo as starters please.

Whoever replaces Nathan Jones always does better than him: Mick Harford did at Luton, Michael O'Neill did at Stoke and now Rob Edwards is at Luton. So that at least gives us something to look forward to.

Leaving the football to one side, Jones is concerning.

I believe Chris Sutton said tonight he "makes things up as he goes along"

I don't believe he is emotionally up to the job and on that basis I don't think he should be in the spotlight running a (not for much longer) premier league side

 

Chris Sutton would know, he's built his punditry career using this method.

Thought i would come into this thread 1st today to ease myself back into the pain.

ok time for me to stop posting and then if I dont look tomorrow or check the table then it never really happened right ?

I think the problem is that the board has listened to too many people to their detriment. They've tried to give people what they want. But that's not going to happen any more. They're going to do things their way because statistically they have been the best in Europe. And on an absolute shoestring.

But who has the board been listening to - rasmus brought in Jones after talking to him in the summer and also talking to him at brentford so that decision is on him and the board.

What jones has done since he has been here is on jones only.

Klopp has also been talking shit, the pressure is getting to the managers.

 

This is perhaps more mental than NJ 😂

 

 

 

 

 

The 3rd goal I dont count as it was the first time they passed the half way line in the 2nd half, the mental gymnastics you have to do to rationalise this.

Board are furious with his post match comments following gutless performance. He had been warned before but think he’s gone too far this time.

If this is true then the board have to act if they've warned him before about his comments otherwise they will look impotent (like our attack).

Its impressive that the board have actually managed to make the club and team more toxic since sacking ralph

Can you imagine his team talks?

You would think that being a good communicator would be one of the things they'd assess during the hiring process.

The Chewbacca Defense only works in a court of law.

Don't expect to be reminded what it is to be tight at the back or resistant to a hammering.

Got round the back and taken a right hammering....

His full quotes below are already bizarre enough. It’s just not how a confident manager - in any field - talks in public. Looking forward to him doing it his way and hope it works 🤣:

 

“I'm really, really disappointed. First of all I'm disappointed for the fans. The biggest thing for me and I want to be brutally honest with this, I have let the players down.

"I have let the players down because I came into this club to do a job, I was recruited to do certain things and I don't see my team in there. I have pandered a little bit, I have gone away and tried to accommodate what we have. I haven't really put my own stamp on it and I should've by now, I really should have.

"I was recruited to do a certain job, to play in a certain way because my teams did really well. We defended the box, we were aggressive, front-footed, we put teams under pressure, we pressed, we counter-pressed really well. Statistically there weren't many better than me. 

"I've come here and gone away from that. I've got to get back to doing what we do really well. I won games and I've gone away from that. Whoever we played we'd go after teams. I'm not seeing that in my team now. 

"I blame myself. I should be driving the standards. Everywhere I've been I've drove standards, I haven't let anyone get away with anything. I've been on top of everyone. I've maybe got carried away that these are Premier League players and you have to give them this and that, but no more. Now I have to go back and to be me because that's not good enough.

"The manager drives standards, I took plenty of accolades at my previous clubs and manager of the year and statistically one of the best in the country one of the most aggressive managers. On an absolute shoestring by the way. Pound for pound there wasn't anyone else in the country competing like we did in terms of points per pound.

"I've gone away from that and I'm saddened. I should never have gone away from that.

"I've allowed certain things to happen, but that won't happen anymore."

"I've tried to give people what they want, I've tried to really work with the players to give them a system that suits them. But it doesn't suit me. It hasn't suited me as a manager or why I was recruited to come here."

"I was recruited to be aggressive and on the front foot and we're not that and that's where we need to get."

Fair fucks at least this has been his tipping point, i for one hope this changes our results but nath you've used up a lot of your lifes to get here bro
