Our B Team would be the envy of all.

There's a case of people just reading way too much into things I'd imagine, emotions are heightened so everything will be under the microscope. Who knows what the context is of them training a lone, probably not what everyone thinks (if it is indeed true)

Brereton has looked horrific, but the service hasn't been great. Blackburn have been equally dross, Wigan deserve this on the second half. Our old mate Caulker has just come on for Wigan.

Thought I'd watch tonight's Championship game to scout out our oppo for next season. It's so, so bad to watch. I think we're going to be right at home.

Seems to be a bit of a social media campaign, as those Jones Out pics are all over the tweets about the women's team as well. Not sure why people waste their time on that, it'll make no difference. They know how the fans feel, they're just stubborn and believe in their own hype of wanting to be different to everyone else.

Good spot, you are all over twitter If he does take any job it will be something out of the spotlight such as this.

I genuinely don't see him going back into management, might be wrong but I think this job took a shit load out of him. He'll end up as some sort of Technical Advisor going forward.

Nope, he's still here, took training. He's being given a stay of execution. That's the summary of it all really.

We'll never truly know what gets said behind the scenes, but the club can't just ignore fan feeling here. Who are they talking to that is suggesting that sticking with him for even the next 24 hrs is a good idea? As other's have said, duty of care comes into this. Why would you put someone quite clearly having a bit of stress overload into a situation on Saturday that could tip anyone over the edge. There's having broad shoulders and then there's being deaf, we've all seen how spikey he is - why are the club willing to risk Saturday? I'm not even thinking about the game at this stage, just as him as a person.

I genuinely think this is a proper behind closed doors event, we won't see much if any of the come back in my opinion. We'll be relying on transcripts from people on here who have gone.

Apparently they wouldn't be able to appeal this if it went to CAS, something different in the source of the allegations compared to Uefa. But it's worth bearing in mind that any actions will not be seen for many years, this isn't something you'll see the resolution of this season. We'll see in a couple of years how this has played out.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he's taking training today as normal.

In that case, you suspend him and put him on gardening leave pending outcome of any investigation. You don't let him continue doing his job! If that is the case and we're waiting for an investigation and talking to proposed options, then just suspend Jones. We don't even need to replace him by Saturday in order to get a 'bounce' in mood.

Nope, you read that wrong! Just pointing out that unbelievably he is in charge of a CL side, so even someone like Parker may be seen as not-gettable.

That is insane, he should not be allowed anywhere near those players again after what he's said. Losing any faith I had in this ownership group as it stands, I fear for our future if these are the decisions they are making.

The only saving grace is that the he will stay news is coming from Crook, and we all know how inept that guy is.

I doubt we'd be able to tempt him away from Champions League Club Brugge!

This is totally different, if you read all that they've done this is on Juventus levels of corruption. Obviously all unproven yet, but there over 100 allegations spreading 10+ years. The main point is that they've paid players/managers from another company, taking that balance out of the actual club finances so they don't get caught by FFP spending.

Galardo was someone many ITK's were referring to back in October time, he was leaving Boca and were supposedly well up for getting him and had chats. But we decided Sunday league Jones was the better bet, and more expensive too, go figure.

The Man City charges are insane, there is a genuine chance Man City could be relegated here.

This is my massive concern, how can we, as a fan base, have trust in the ownership group if they ignore the obvious and plough forward here? This isn't a fickle fan base calling for a managers head after a few games, this is a club being torn apart by someone who is entirely unhinged and anyone with an ounce of sense will see that this is not sustainable, you gain nothing by giving anyone a chance here. You'd struggle to trust them with any decision going forward, and let's face it even though they've tried things, their decision making up to now has been inept.

I'm holding out some hope that the media reports we're seeing are a little delayed and they haven't caught up with events from y/day and this morning. I just don't see how anyone benefits by keeping him in charge, there is an element of care here as well - Jones is clearly on the brink of some sort of breakdown, you don't throw him to the lions on Saturday - you cannot predict how he will react to everyone if it goes sour. They have a duty of care and they should remove him before it gets to that stage. There is sadly too much momentum in one direction, it's got tot he stage where nothing can really turn this around. Anything we do now will be in spite of him. He's thrown the players, coaches and fans under the bus. He has not connected with this club in anyway, he's had 3 months - that's not going to change in a week. I will have much more respect for Rasmus if he holds his hands up and admits this catastrophic mistake, starts again and gives us someone we can get behind again. There is no reason to prolong this agony anymore, the only reason you'd prolong it is to protect an ego.

I don't think people have been slaughtering him! Ignore anyone who is, they're just trolls. What I'd say though is that Paul won't be particularly easy to watch, he will look very clumsy so don't expect a refined footballer - but, if he can create chaos and score goals when it matters then it doesn't matter.

I don't think we've competed at all this season to be honest, we look far and away the worst team in the league over the course of the season. I think SR have just tried to do way too much too soon. We haven't been perfect for many years, but surely you take a few tentative steps first and build on what's there - but they have without question ripped up the foundations and started again way too soon. I don't think we've got bad players, it's similar to Forest in a way - there's no team, just a bunch of individuals right now being led by someone who is not respected.

I know internally the club looked at that opportunity as a carbon copy of the lockdown pause, they put the same methodically into it in terms of personal training regimes and no published friendlies etc. Basically, once again, the club thought they'd cracked it due to our success after lockdown and got a bit full of themselves again
