hypochondriac

I very much doubt he's going today but I haven't seen confirmation from anywhere that he's definitely in charge for Wolves. I expect we will know more tonight but certainly the fact he hasn't gone already strongly hints that's the case.

There's so much intrigue between now and Saturday. Whether Jones gets sacked before tonight as rumoured, the forum tonight and what they are possibly going to say to defend themselves, the press conference on Thursday and if Jones is going to be there and what he will say, the next B team game and who will play in it and finally the lineup just before the game, what formation his u shackled team is going to be in and who is in and out. Its fascinating and never dull being a saints fan.

TBF Charlie could be all three!

Maybe I misread.

I think I read somewhere (Steve maybe) that they had some itv local reporter doing it and the suggestion was maybe it was because Blackmore is on holiday.

Fair enough. Potentially interesting then. Would be good to know if someone else could confirm the rumours.

Given that Charlie has subsequently treferenced 606, it seems he's just rehashing what was posted on there.

Yes that's where it originated. Still not sure of its validity though since some on tui said he wasn't at training and other reports were that everything was normal. Sometimes these things get said because they are easy rumours to start with little substance and removed from context. At worst I reckon it was maybe handbags with a few players that got broken up. Full on fighting between the players and manager is just unlikely imo.

Could be fitness related which would make sense considering they all played in the B team apart from Lavia.

Charlie Miller got it from some bloke on 606 who claims his mates friend supposedly works at the training ground. I wouldn't consider that reliable.

I saw that Pilchards commented on it but I don't think he'd said he'd heard that rumour himself.

It's literally just some random poster saying his mates friend works at the training ground. Not what I'd call reliable.

Not sure I believe this stuff about punch ups at training and isolating all our best players and making them train alone. Anyone on a forum could just make shit like that up and it sounds interesting but there's nothing concrete. If they're all put of the team on Saturday though maybe that will be more proof!

Someone can make themselves very popular by seruptitiously live streaming.

Defence and gk is much better. Wanyana very good and plays every week unlike Lavia. Mane brilliant and then a proper target man up top. I'd say that's miles better.

Tell that to Preston.

Steady on mate. We're all annoyed but the worst you'll get at the weekend are some rude chants and maybe some fights in the stands. We aren't a scary fanbase.

Not without your Jones out jester hat you aren't.

Right then it seems that the club have decided not to get rid of Jones before Wolves. With that choice they share some of the culpability now and it will be much harder to forgive them and move on once he does finally get the sack. It's not good sacking him after the next game and then coming out with lines trying to absolve themselves. Now is the opportunity to do that, they aren't taking it and fans do not forget.

Ankerson must think it will be even sweeter and he will look even more of a genius once Jones turns it around and proves everyone wrong.

Surely someone knows a player or two and can say what's going on? I can't believe they're doing the fans forum.

Could be completely true but that doesn't change who Jones is and the fact that he is not the answer at all, regardless of what the players are like. The players aren't at fault for the B team stunt nor for the Lavia comments. They didn't tell him to play Walcott, start his mate Bree with no time to bed in and the same for Bednarek.

The bloke who hosted the twitter spaces thing last night is going so I expect we will hear a fair amount of it, if not a live stream.

Looks like attention goes to this then. I really didn't think it would go ahead and certainly not if they hadn't sacked Jones. They're either brave or stupid.

This whole thing shows we don't really have any true itk anymore
