He seems a bit of a maverick for sure. Seems wedded to a back 3 though. We've been there once or twice and it doesn't go well.

Can we please stop with this judging based primarily on stats nonsense. How Marsch did at Leeds with the players available to him there is not comparable to how Ralph did here with the players at his disposal. They also managed 3 years apart at Leipzig. Stop comparing apples with bananas.

Treacle

He's never managed I don't think, purely a coach?

I've been quite impressed with him tbh. Bigger, faster and just a lot better than I expected. I'd prefer him at RB than Lyanco or AMN. If anything, this lad is the only positive to have come from Jones tenure here.

Nuno feels like a good fit for us. He did really well at Wolves, and is a big enough name to command respect and restore some credibility to the club.

We'll find out soon enough mate!

I reckon we'll end up with a proper curveball. Some fella from a far flung league that we've never heard of. Or Scott Parker.

I did a double take when I saw that AMN was playing as a CB. DCC, arguably our best CB, isn't in a 20 man squad and we have him at CB. Crazy.

I've written off the season. We're down under this idiot. I didn't watch or listen yesterday for the first time in god knows how long.

That's his brand if football mate. He as a person present as frustrated (anger), in denial, he seems flat in mood, and there's bargaining every time he speaks ie pushing his own story & narrative etc. The bloke needs out for his sake as much as the clubs.

Ditto...but Ankersen is at denial, and Jones seems to be fluctuating between everything bar acceptance.

He's less sophisticated than Lennon. And Lennon has zero sophistication.

Different issues. He needs to go and we then need a new guy. Any suggestion that we keep him until we have a ready to go upgrade isn't sensible imo. I genuinely cannot see how Horseman, as a caretaker, could do any worse than we're doing now.

Shiny

I think my dog's better than Bednarek.

Trough

Jones had a month + to work with a squad, and we in touch with teams around us. He then had a load of new players. Despite that he's managed to make us worse than we were before he arrived. I can't think of another manager who's come near being that bad, hence me picking him.

I vote that he's not worried because if it happens he'll be out of the firing line, and still being paid.

Jones. Nobody else comes close. We've got no identity on the pitch, he's an embarrassment every time he speaks, he doesn't pick his best players, he doesn't play to the strengths of the players he does pick, his game management is shocking, etc, etc,etc. I expected it to be a monumental clusterfuck of an appointment, but it's much worse than that.

Yep. I don't get why people keep calling for Selles. He's been here during this shit show amd the last one. Get him gone. I'd leave Horseman to take the reins until we get someone else in.

Away

Absolutely. xG - guesswork. Football pitch - reality.

Yep. For every Alan Shearer, theres lots and lots of Ryan Seagers. I hope the kid does well, but chances are he won't.

We do all of that already mate...it's just that all that we have to hit them with is a load of shite.
