hypochondriac

Most people were underwhelmed but prepared to give him a chance. I actually praised him and thought he spoke well at his first interview. It's only really from Forest onwards that the vast majority have been against him.

What they mean by that is that his metrics give him belief that over time the league situation will improve. He's taking a longer term view looking at his metrics and he's not going to be swayed by short term thing spoke immediate results. He's going to look very silly if we have a heavy defeat against wolves and he sacks him anyway (or more likely in a few weeks when we are mathematically down.)

A conversation I could believe. If he was formally offered the job in the summer then it would be madness to turn it down.

Jesus soggy do you have to bring the government into every single one of your posts about saints? It's really odd.

I just don't see a man with his ego turning down the chance to manage in the Premier league.

I don't believe that Jones would turn down an offer to manage in the prem. Knowing what we know about him that seems completely out of character.

Ffs. Last time I type on here whilst listening to a podcast.

Now we know for definite that Nathan is here for Saturday, I'm kind of intrigued to see what happens. I do wonder if the formation or the players will be radically different now he's supposedly going to cast off the shackles imposed by others onto him. Almost certainly there will be little change or something mad like 5 at the back and defensive but it's interesting nonetheless.

I was unsettled by the first fans forum earlier in the year. To be honest I think they've cared more about their system and their experiment than wanting to stay in the league. I think at some point they may have stayed thinking that relegation is a price worth paying as long as they can continue their grand plan.

I don't think Perraud has done much wrong personally. All the others though have been largely very poor apart from jwp.

TBF there's loads of new players now. You could make almost an entire team consisting solely of players signed since the summer.

Chunk in the middle was about the woman. I slipped that bit.

Thanks for that. Training photos showed them training with the others today though?

Yes they said they are committed I'd we go down. Didn't go into specifics for obvious reasons. I think generally they came accross well, I just think some of the questioners needed to ask more specific questions.

I'm almost certain they factored it in. It's the only thing that makes any sense for why they haven't sacked him already.

Yep. Just listened to the whole thing. Only a couple of cringe questions so not too bad. Too many giving them an easy ride and not drilling them on specifics. We still don't know what Jones meant by outside influences and what is going to change on Saturday that is any different from the last few games?

He won't be able to resist saying something if that does happen.

Yep. Sounds like putting a brave face on it to be honest.

Did anyone ask why he wasn't there?

No he's live on solent.

No that's ant.

If that were true he wouldn't have been taking training today.

Anyone found anyone tweeting updates?

Maybe so. I'm just saying that Semmens not wanting Jones isn't a weakness of his and Ankerson considering him suitable is very much a weakness.

I'd say its Ankerson who is the issue in this scenario if its accurate.
