1. Who's idea was it to appoint NJ, And have they been relieved of such future responsibility? 2. Why the fūck are there so many away fans in home seating every fùcking game. 3. Why are there away fans in hospitality boxes? 4. Have they considered buying players to build a team, rather than buying players to just turn a profit? 5. Has the plonker responsible for the kit that makes us look like Bolton or Spurs from the back been horse-whipped yet?

With respect, no amount of support or encouragement is going to change anything at SMS, so 'the fans 'might as well let rip on a mong board, after all that's what they are there for.

As someone once said, 'if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks, it's usually a duck'. We have largely championship quality players, and a championship quality manager so no surprise where we'll be playing next season, the championship. Blame should be aimed solely at Sport Republic and Semmons for this mess.

Of course we would. But then Jones is demonstrably inadequate in everything he does he's going to get blamed whatever he does. I feel sorry for him, its not his fault. The plums running the club are to blame for appointing him.

When Jones name came up as someone we were talking to the collective response of nearly everyone was 'WHY'? There is nothing in his CV that makes him stand out from any lower league manager. On the contrary, he failed miserably at Stoke. It's as if SR put the names of every lower league manager in a hat, and pulled out Jones. Unfathomable. Makes you wonder what lunacy they are capable of next.

Agree 100%. Back in the day we had some passionate and effective protests aimed at the directors and Branfoot, and things are clearly worse now. It's too late for the getting behind the team bollox. Protest and save the club from these charlatans.

Protest. Next game and every game. It's too late to get behind the team. Protest.

'Data' my arse. The only 'data' that counts is 'played 17 points 12'

It's often been reported during Ralph's time here he was on £6m a year, so if he had around 18 months of his contract left the payout you've been told is probably about right.

Proper red & white stripes

At some point the man with the money, Dragan something, will be asking the man with the plan, Rumplestilskin, what the fùck is going on. At which point the Danish genius will have to pass the buck, which is when Semmens will get the push, allowing for a quick and dramatic change of direction. Jones will go, a recently sacked David Moyes will be appointed and all will be well.

We desperately need a striker. But we won't buy the striker we need. We'll buy a youngster, cheaply with no top level experience. It's the Semmens SR way.

That's what 3 years of bad recruitment and trading looks like. Selling Ings with no replacement!!!!!!

It's easy to laugh at protesters in general, but the truth is protest does keep the pressure on those making decisions in whatever walk of life. SISA were knocked by some at the time, but they kept the issue in the newspapers and made it difficult for the clubs then owners to pretend all was rosy. Never looks good when owners like Sport Republic are entertaining their sponsors, if there is a couple of hundred spoty herberts outside singing 'hang the board'.

Whoever is in goal will drop at least one clanger. Our back four will fall asleep at least twice. Any chance falling to Che Adam's will be fired straight at their keeper, and Lavia will still be 'injured' and sold the next day. Fulham 3-0

Not sell Lavia or BK. Loan in an experienced defensive midfielder. Get a decent striker. Sack Jones.

..or wheels.

Sad but true.

Jones never made sense as a appointment. Sports Republic should get shot of him now while there is still hope, but then Sports Republic shouldn't have appointed him in the first place, so don't hold your breath they'll do the sensible thing.

This shocking appointment is just another fück up from SR after their failure to get a striker in the summer. I fear they're going to do for us what SISU have done for Coventry.

Personally I'm not writing him off on his interview technique I'm writing him off based on his 15% win ratio at Stoke and his lack of top level experience.

Welcoming Jones would be a bit like welcoming a dose of the clap. Why would you do it?

It's not too late. I would appeal to anyone with direct access to Sports Republic to try to talk them down. There's no need for haste.

The game has moved on ever so slightly in the 49 years since Laurie McMenemy was appointed.

If it happens, this will be one of the biggest throws of a dice the club has made. Totally unfathomable. There are dozens of managers with better records than Jones in the lower leagues, just look at the comparable stats, so why this fella other than he'll be really, really cheap?
