Someone close to him.

Knew it was over once whistle went. Confirmed to him verbally shortly afterwards, formally on Sunday Wants to get back in game & rebuild reputation/career. Will use this to drive himself on. Happy to drop down to League 1 or even 2 if championship realistically attainable.

And the Poch shite as well. Ridiculous..

Interesting to see what happens to this guy now Jones has gone. I thought he did ok yesterday, certainly seen a lot worse than him recently, from players who cost a lot more money.

Why would Dyche have come here, even back in Nov? With Everton, West Ham, Leicester, Wolves, Villa, Leeds struggling, he was always going to get back in. We’re probably the least attractive of the lot, apart from Boscombe.

No

Was he sidelined by Ralph as well? Whoever was in his present position would have got the gig for the next few days, it’s nothing to do with his body of work at the club as he’s the constant during this shit show of a season. If none of the pony we’ve been served up is anything to do with him, it begs the question WTF is he doing here. Is he the bib & cones man or does he have input into our set up, coaching and tactics. He may get an audition for the permanent job, let’s hope he’s better at it than he has been as “lead coach” or whatever noddy name they’re giving is present position.

No

Dear god.

Isn’t that a good thing? From the horses mouth. JWP “supportive, buys in”.

Even odder is is the head boy having a row with him.

One of the all time greats, absolute genius.

Bill Shankly reckoned he was going to be the “fittest bloke that ever died”.

No chance. Wouldn’t make a blind bit of difference. People would be saying “what sort of manager admits he’s a Wally?”.

Rubbish. We were a complete and utter shambles most of the past year under both of them.

He’s fluent in Spanish, other than that, good point well made.

Yes, results wise 91st or 92nd in the calendar year is a shambles, 90th a mere blip.

Yes that one was down to the players, Palace was down to the supporters chanting “your football is shit” first half & Everton was down to JWP locking him in the broom cupboard at half time & delivering the team talk himself. The defeats? Oh, they are all down to Jones though.

It’s either because he’s too tight to cough up a fiver, and therefore has to shoehorn everything into 3 posts. Or he’s a crushing bore.

That’s the way it is. Anything good is somebody else, poor and it’s jones. If we win Sat it’ll be the players taking over, giving team talks or the fans forcing Jones’ hand. People were praising luton getting better post Jones, until Grimsby done them, then it’s back to Jones legacy. There’s enough to batter him with, without resorting to this type of pony.

Someone very close to him believes he did. My understanding is it wasn’t a rock solid offer, just a discussion. The take it or leave it solid offer was when Ralph left.

It’s disingenuous. Jones was sounded out in the summer, but didn’t feel ready. Once Ralph’s position became untenable it was “now or never” as they’d have looked elsewhere.

Lowe was ousted by administration, fuck all to do with our “hostile” environment. You complain about the odd song and moaning online, but that’s pretty much what happened with Lowe. It took fucking years for more than the minority to rise up. Fuck me, he even came back.

It’s a rarebit of much needed humour.
