hypochondriac Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 If they sack him this weekend I'll be really annoyed that they didn't do it last week. With him gone I reckon it was likely we would have won this game and then who knows where we coukd have ended up. They've just wasted a game which is what everyone was saying last week. Of course if they're stubborn and keep him it's only going to get worse. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that’s a stat Rasmus adds to his fkin spreadsheet Match day stats (like winning, for example) aren't important to that wanker. The only thing that counts for him are the wonderful things Jones does behind the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamesaint Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 In just over 2 weeks we are playing a non League team in the 5th round of the FA Cup. Is anyone confident of victory if this nutter is still in charge?? The one year when we have (in theory) the easiest path to a cup quarter final and we have one of the worst teams in our recent history managed by a Muppet.

Rivers Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 What more is there to say? I've already wasted more than enough of my words and my time, on Nathan fucking Jones. So I'll be brief, and simply state the blindingly obvious. Nathan Jones is damaged goods. Totally unfit for purpose, and has far exceeded his useby date. Shocking football. The Jurassic Period just called, and asked for their tactics and dinosaur back. And as for the team selections, and abysmal man management of some of our best players, what on earth must Dragan be thinking about the treatment of our most valuable assets!? Assets he's just shelled out a shitload of his hard-earned for, only for the bright spark from the dark welsh mining community to waste their talent in the stands. Criminal mismanagement of our Football Club all round. If only it had been obvious it wouldn't work from the start, and we could have so easily avoided this utterly self-inflicted clusterfuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 For me the overriding problem is no longer Jones, as bad a manager that he is. The bigger issue is Rasmus Ankersen who, after making a truly catastrophic decision has failed to recognise or rectify it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that Ankersen retains the potential to be that idiotic, compounding his error whilst revealing himself to lack both business and emotional intelligence.

Get the right man in now, and let him build towards promotion next season. Unlikely, but my preference would be Gallardo. The problem with the 'right man' approach: 1. We just tried it 2. Good managers don't leave their clubs mid-season unless they have a release clause So we need to assume that Sports Republic know who the right man is, and that he is remotely available. For both those scenarios to happen seems very very unlikely. The struggle Leeds have is exactly what we will have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainchris Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 Worryingly on this platform anger seems to be disappearing and replaced with total apathy…. Perplexed and also numb with the shear amateurism of the whole management structure at the club my attitude is becoming the same as the directors - ambivalent…. Ankerson has rammed the club in reverse and got his foot hard to the floor on the accelerator….. Not blaming Jones any more, this is wholly (or holy) down to Ankerson….. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
