Pure arrogance from the too-clever-by-half club leadership. In the fanbase, we could all see it, we all knew it from day one. Terrible mistake. Unfortunately its probably too late to save the season now, bit that doesn't mean he shouldn't go. He should go. Fuck the fuck off. Spot on. Anyone with half a brain could see this was a disaster from the word go. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until this season, whilst there were many bad performance under Ralph, we also had some good ones. We haven’t put 45 minutes together of good football under Jones. Surely there isn’t a single saints fan who believes Jones is the man for us? Even ducky has gone quiet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 We're going to have to beat some big teams if we want to stay up and we can't even beat the smaller ones. Not just "can't beat the smaller teams" but get royally bum loved by them. No idea, clueless. We're playing players that have previously been loaned out for being shit, a previously 4th choice CM in Diallo that has never showed much competence, a right back we got for pittance that was previously no good for Villa, a GK who has basically been shit all season, an attacker who should be in a two or not playing at all, and a young winger that has no end product. Is it any wonder we are going down. Pathetic. Jones out. But if not he needs to see our flaws. Get McCarthy or Caballero in. Never play Bednarek or Lyanco. Stop playing Diallo and Moi and have Edozie as an off the bench option. Oh, and stop trying to pretend JWP is an attacking genius. Stick him back in the two with Lavia. Our team should be something like: McCarthy/Cab KWP/Perraud 2 of ABK/DCC/Salisu JWP/Lavia Alcarez Suleman/Orsic Onuachu With others as squad filler. Do that and we may have a chance IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard799 Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 (edited) After Ralphs last game before World Cup Break I listened to Radio Solent commentators bemoan Wolverhampton Wanders lack of plan, and they slated Wolves for sacking their manager without supposed plan. The talk at the time was IF SAINTS SACK RALPH then hope they have a plan.... Roll on and Ralph gets sacked and we appoint an absolute shocker of manager, listening on the evening of day before the fateful appointment, I listened to Jo Tessem making cross reference to the unheard of who was Paul Sturrock.... Nathan Jones reminds me of a bad bad dream of decline and pessemisim.... Jan Poortveliet Mark Woote Manuel Pellegrini Ian Branfoot Paul Sturock If the club cannot smell the roses and the fact we are in deep deep smelly turd then what can they were are bound for the Championship and before it may just be too late, replace this inept no experience out their depth hopeless situation. New manager bounce, we lost the lot, we have gone backwords, facts are simple we are worse than under Ralph. No manager gets world cup break to work and improve players I rest my case.

BotleySaint Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 Time to get rid. Instill a caretaker till end of the season, then get a new man in over the summer and rebuild in the Championship.

BotleySaint Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 (edited) When they finally ditched Ralph I thought the season could be saved. A new manager would be brought in and had a fairly easy run of results to start with, playing teams in and around us at the time. Never imagined they'd appoint Jones, which was immediately a joke - followed by the infamous mic'd up training session - and that it could go quite so wrong. What were they thinking?

RedArmy Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 The question SR have to ask themselves is will he keep his job if we get relegated? If the answer is no he needs to go now because we are certainly relegated with him in charge. If the answer is yes they need to have a long hard think about their answer and reconsider it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewildered Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 Get rid of the clown. He's made the team worse than they were in the final days of Ralph's tenure.

stknowle Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 Look, it ain’t his fault that he’s totally out of his depth but he is so screamingly obviously out of his depth that even the people that didn’t realise he was achingly obviously likely to be so when they appointed him must realise now. Look at Everton - 1 game in against the league leaders and they grind out a 1 nil after a well marshalled and organised, disciplined 2 banks of 4 performance. I thought - just maybe - when we appointed this hopeless bellend was that he might be able to give us that and build from there. Not a bit of it - there’s no plan, no clue about what we are trying to do or how we are trying to do it, just a random I’ll-picked 11 players each week that leave you wondering ‘wtf’ before kick off and ‘oh well there you go at full time’. Get him gone, pull him aside on the coach home tonight and tell him, just fucking do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Watson Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 So far out of his depth, it is beyond a joke now. Everton beat Arsenal with Dyche, we get hammered by Brentford with Jones in charge.

Dusic Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 Will he get relegated with Jones in charge? Absolutely yes.

SNSUN Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 And the cherry on top of our situation is the manager I wanted in to organise our defence, Dyche, has been taken by our immediate rivals and has already got a win on the board. Against Arsenal. So sacking Jones now is even too late for that to happen. God knows who we bring in but I'd take anyone now. Caretaker until the season ends. I wonder what that Jesus Christ is up to these days, we could use a miracle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you've seen today, that's not the way my teams play." #saintsfc @paulbelvers what a pathetic little man. Get rid. Selles is getting fired on Monday then. Reminds me of the old management joke. A new CEO was hired to take over a struggling company. The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes. “Open these if you run into serious trouble,” he said. Well, three months later sales and profits were still way down and the new CEO was catching a lot of heat. He began to panic but then he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read, “Blame your predecessor.” The new CEO called a press conference and explained that the previous CEO had left him with a real mess and it was taking a bit longer to clean it up than expected, but everything was on the right track. Satisfied with his comments, the press – and Wall Street – responded positively. Another quarter went by and the company continued to struggle. Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, “Reorganize.” So he fired key people, consolidated divisions and cut costs everywhere he could. This he did and Wall Street, and the press, applauded his efforts. Three months passed and the company was still short on sales and profits. The CEO would have to figure out how to get through another tough earnings call. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The message said, “Prepare three envelopes.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmore Saint Posted 4 February, 2023 Share Posted 4 February, 2023 He’s simply the wrong man and needs to go now. His football is wrong, his attitude is wrong. All totally incompatible with SFC. We need to wield the axe now, but unfortunately whomever we get in next will always be a downgrade on who we might have got in pre-WC. So sad to see the state of the club now, perhaps more so than even the Branfoot days 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
