I thought Rasmus and Kraft were shareholders of Holdings? Convoluted share set up I think, and Kraft only one with formal significant control, but I'm sure Rasmus has an interest.

That'll upset some, but can't argue with it.

These idiots don't seem to realise that we don't have time. Bewildering.

Sadly that's probably right. I live in hope that they'll come to their senses though.

Is anyone on here there tonight? Hopefully tonight's the night they tell us that Jones is on our way. I doubt it, but a man lives in hope. 🙏🤞🙏🤞🙏

As much as I want this guy gone asap, all the personal stuff is a bit much. Loon, narcissist, being Welsh, etc, etc, just ain't needed. He's been a shit appointment, lets himself and the club down when he speaks, and needs replacing. Surely that's all that needs to be said.

If they've been ostracized that's on obvious problem, but players working in small groups on specific things isn't unusal in itself. If it's true, context is needed.

Obscene on every level. Businesses and people going to the wall while these energy companies and their shareholders are profiting at record levels. Shameful that regulators aren't imposing immediate caps linked to wholesale energy prices, and governments not heavily taxing profits.

That's from someone called Andy Hollis... good blog though, thanks for the link.

If I read through those millions of posts ^^^^ would it tell me any more than he's still here?

Yep, crystal clear message - get him gone.

Cheers. My mind's made up from that. He says "no, not at all" when asked if there's "outside noise" about compromise. It's him. The rest of it is horrific. It sounds like he's almost fighting with himself. Very bizarre.

Thanks for that Duck. Giving players is very much part of the modern game to be fair. The management part of the role is limited to training, tactics, team selection, managing players and expectations. Everything else is done by others. You may be right that the SR influence doesn't extend into the dressing room, and hopefully that's correct.

On my last paragraph, it's a wee bit more than a feeling, but nothing substantial enough to put it any higher than that. On your second paragraph, Jones isn't shy, and hasn't been shy about throwing his players under the bus. He was very guarded, and I'm very open minded about the influence he refers to. That all said, whatever he meant, he's a dead man walking BUT I'd hope that any new man is allowed to work autonomously.

No conspiracy theory from me. It's Jones who has said that he's been made to compromise. A discussion about who's behind that is absolutely the right thing to do... ignoring it isn't.

The "best in Europe on the stats" point I take as no more than him highlighting what he was good at that got him the job, but that he's had to compromise and do something else, hence why we've been shit. Yep, he's absolutely not owning the disastrous results, but he's saying that there's influence. I still want him gone as his role is untenable, but there's shit going in that's a factor in that.

Yep, either or both. If it's players then it's his job to manage them. If it's SR though, he hasn't got a prayer (no pun intended). If it's players and SR, his authority is being undermined at both ends. My instinct, and it's only that, is that there is SR involvement somewhere. If that's the case, that interview could be a "fuck you SR, see where your way has got us. From now on I'm doing it my way, and bin me if you're not gonna allow that" kind of interview. As I've said above, the reaction on here has been superficial. That's understandable cos it sounds awful, but there's a depth to that interview that we don't know about.

Ha!! I don't at all, and I thought you were better than nonsense comments like that. I think he's a talented kid who's been thrown in before he's ready.
