And then let mastermind Rasmus pick another manager after the successful appointments of Jones and Selles.

Jones and his assistants were terrible appointments and clearly didn’t have a clue. But they are correct that our recruitment of players lately has been poor to say the least.

That’s none of our January signings starting and just 3 from last summer. Great recruitment!

Nathan Jones now 4/1 to be named the next Oxford FC manager.

Try and ship out Lyanco, Bednarek, Diallo, Elyounoussie, Orsic (it seems like it’s sadly just not going to work out with him), Adam Armstrong, Djenepo, Bree and Mara. Then try and get a left back, striker but first and foremost a new manager. And don’t let Rasmus anywhere near the recruitment and scouting of players.

What or who is he? A conman, a professional bullshitter, someone who thinks he’s smarter than everyone else but over and over again proves otherwise or just a complete absolute fucking idiot? Surprised Solak has let him run/ruin the club for so long. If that was my investment I would be on the phone warning him that we have a meeting the next and that he shouldn’t be shocked to hear that the game was over. Seriously I cannot think of a way how to do a worse job than him. Every fucking thing he has done at the club was the wrong decision. Not buying a striker last summer, squandering money on poor/cheap players instead of investing in players that improve the starting 11, waiting with sacking Ralph (if you wanted rid of him, do it the day after the last match of the season), Nathan fucking Jones, the scouting department, the list goes on. The good days of Adkins, Pochetinno and Koeman seem so far away.

(W)Ankerson and crew are fucking useless. Even that fat Pompey fan with his bell would struggle to make a bigger mess of our club than this current lot. To an extent I feel sorry for Semmens who spent years working on a tight budget and trying to build a stable PL club. Yes he’s also to blame for picking Sports Republic, but we don’t know what they said during the takeover meetings and what they have or haven’t done. Now within a year they have wrecked the whole club, scouts and directors leaving, piss poor recruitment of players and managers. We are going down and it’s all thanks to Rasmus and his crownies. I have little faith in us going straight back up, even if we have the biggest budget of the championship. Sports Republic have bought loads of average players for little money, who besides of Lavia and ABK are the real deal? If they had spent the 126 million on 4 good players who would strengthen the team and not sit on the bench, we probably wouldn’t be in this mess. I am not going to start over the Nathan Jones disaster experiment. Rant over.

Michael Owen recons he’s the best free kick taker ever. Shay Given completely disagrees.

Eljero Elia has today announced his retirement from professional football. Elia was loaned from Werder Bremen in the 2015 season under Ronald Koeman. He scored a brace against Newcastle (his only goals for us).

Wonder what Dragan has to say to Rasmus this morning ( if they have a meeting). Payed Luton millions so we could get Jones, hands him a 3,5 year contract, presumably on PL wages and sacks him after 3 months. That makes it around 39 months left on his contract. Besides that he’s also still paying Ralph. Whoever comes in next, Rasmus is under huge pressure to get this one right. That makes me think he might play it safe and go for a manager with experience in the PL with a decent track record.

Quite the opposite going from a manager who sings hymns to a metalhead screaming death and destruction. Let’s hope his managerial skills are the opposite too.

Slot was never going to leave Feyenoord during this season. He has them top of the league with a way smaller budget than Ajax and PSV. I wouldn’t gamble now and would go for an experienced manager who knows the Premier League and a relegation fight. Not the right time for a untested manager.

If we lose he’ll blame the fans, the players, the kitmen, the pitch, the groundsman, the stadium, the tea lady, the away fans, Ralph, the position of the sun, the former Ted Bates statue etc. If we win it’s due to Nathan Jones himself being one of the greatest managers in Europe and an absolute tactical genius who can perform under the toughest of conditions.

This is going to be one of those days where I have loads of work to do, but will be spending all my time on here and Twitter waiting for the announcement that Jones has been sacked.

Rasmus and Semmens should have been on the phone all night to agents and potential managers. No time for faffing about. Sack him now and let Selles take charge. He couldn’t possibly, even if he tried, do worse then this clown.

Just a thought, maybe this interview could give SR a reason to sack Jones without making it look like they made a mistake by hiring him. SR could say, after the post match interview mr Jones did with the BBC that his position became untenable. “Mr Jones damaged the relationship and trust between him and the players of SFC that together with Mr Jones we, the board, have mutually agreed it’s best to part ways. SFC would like to thank Mr Jones bla bla bla wishes well bla bla bla” Just wishing we sack him sooner or later.

Sadly you were almost right. I am guessing his sacking will be announced around page 86.

I like the work Will Still is doing at Reims and what he has done in the Belgium league. The Dutch media cover quite a bit of the Belgium league and they have been raving about Still. However with our league position I think its to early for him. For now I would appoint a caretaker manager till the end of the season with the sole task to keep us up and install some confidence. Someone who knows the league like Benitez. Then in the summer go searching for a manager with a clear vision, known for improving players and getting the best out of them. Would like to see someone like Slot (Feyenoord) or Valverde (Bilbao).

I wonder if they watched the Fulham game before deciding to sign him.

This line up makes absolutely no sense. No Perraud after Saturday, no DCC, no Edozie. Unless these players have fitness issues, this is a very strange line up. Would have gone for, Bazunu Walker-Peters - DCC- Salisu - Perraud Alcaraz - Lavia/Diallo Edozie - JWP - A.Armstrong Adams

Anderlecht defender and former Saints superstar Wesley Hoedt is being linked to Watford. Hoedt left us on a free transfer, but we did negotiate a sell on clause. Might see a little extra money coming our way.

Ralph Krueger? He talk loads but say nothing.

He’s known in Holland for having a shit attitude. Last Dutch player with a poor attitude wasn’t a real succes (although he himself thinks he was one of the best defenders in Europe).

Here we go again
