Raging Bull Posted 12 February, 2023 Share Posted 12 February, 2023 (edited) 26 minutes ago, CamberwellSaint said: Ok, so he's gone. Good. A couple of observations: Walking straight down the tunnel after a defeat, leaving your players on the pitch [especially when you're a manager who gives it large in front of the fans after a win] speaks to extreme lack of class, grace and respect. This has been increasingly obvious for many weeks now. Given the club had been following him for 18 months before giving him the job, how confident should we be that this board can choose managers? The club "statement" on the OS doesn't even contain the usual cliches ["thanks Nathan for his efforts", "best wishes for the future"]. This suggests either that he was just as as defensive and self-obsessed behind closed doors as he was in pressers, or that the board have just a little class as Jones does. Does our board need a manager who will stand up to them? I’m assuming he knew that it was because he knew his time was up. On a slightly different note, I’ve seen a few people mention JWPs free kicks yesterday (couldn’t bring myself to watch anything). What happened with them? Edit: ignore me there’s a thread on them and I hadn’t noticed 🙄 Edited 12 February, 2023 by Raging Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was loaned out to St Gallen last year, started just five times and averaged 30 minutes over 16 appearances. This year he has been punted down to the Challenge League with Thun... started nine times, been hooked in every one of them and averaged 45 minutes over 14 appearances. Not bad for a lad demanding Premier League football at 18 year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct CB Fry ....Those " pro-Jankewitz fans " you mentioned also failed to notice that he'd picked up a red and a handful of yellow cards earlier that season whilst playing in the Academy sides. Not a good recommendation, but I don't fault Ralph for giving him the chance. He had the opportunity... to put his talent where his mouth was....and it lasted about 1½ minutes. He returned to Switzerland ..to the ironically-named club.. " Young Boys ", having discovered that " the man's game " offers bigger challenges. Last I saw he wasn't even making the bench for their league games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the evidence…the stats shall we say…it’s clear to me that the team’s performance was adversely affected by (a) Jones insecurity and lack of tactical know-how and (b) a legacy (or even on-going) pressure from the club to play in a certain way (hence his comments about compromising and doing it his way). Just goes to show that any Prem Manager is sandwiched between demanding players, the Board and the fans so the CV has to indicate balls of steel and a clear identity, neither of which Jones had. Despite his dismal time here I hope he’s able to regain some self-respect and mental health. Having a shit load of money doesn’t necessarily mean you’re happy. One things for sure, you’ll not be seeing NJ near the upper tier of English football any time soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
