saintant Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 24 minutes ago, S-Clarke said: This is my massive concern, how can we, as a fan base, have trust in the ownership group if they ignore the obvious and plough forward here? This isn't a fickle fan base calling for a managers head after a few games, this is a club being torn apart by someone who is entirely unhinged and anyone with an ounce of sense will see that this is not sustainable, you gain nothing by giving anyone a chance here. You'd struggle to trust them with any decision going forward, and let's face it even though they've tried things, their decision making up to now has been inept. Well, if Ankersen allows him to carry on it's one more example of this fool telling us he thinks he's far more intelligent than the rest of us combined. Delusional. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give them time to get the new person in and sweetness and light at the event. Or they will just can it... It's going to be a load of old gubs asking about pies and Bovril or a 10-year contract for Prowsey anyway. A huge sham. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 4 minutes ago, sydney_saint said: Poch also managed without even speaking english to the fans! Just over 20 years, we appointed a very unpopular manager in WGS. He won over the fans quickly as well. The issue isn't the fans, it's the manager. Even look at the way he often refers to the club as 'they' rather than 'we'. He is just utterly divisive. Jones’ English isn’t much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delusional. I actually don't know what they are clinging onto apart from their ego. Results have got worse, so not that. We can't score from open play. Defence is leaking. Midfield overrun especially if there is no Lavia who he just threw under a bus. There is no reputation to cling to, or relevant experience. He's alienated the fans, and continutes to do so. He appears to be having a breakdown. And it seems he is pissing off the players although harder to validate that. What are they clinging to that this can be turned around? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Nimbus Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 During the pandemic, we were constantly reassured that "football without fans is nothing" I don't feel in the grand scheme of things that Saints fan are one of the archetypal "fragile, unreasonable or hostile" fan bases. I think we know what we are, we know know where we stand in the grand scheme of things and on the whole support the team through most things. The weight of fan opinion towards Jones is in all likelihood never going to be able to be undone, because even if he wins a couple of games, he is always going to be on the backfoot as soon as a bad result comes. They need to take into account fan sentiment here, get someone in that can unite everybody and see how the rest of the season goes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 Looks like Jones isn’t the only one having a mental breakdown under the pressure, then. We now don’t have a single senior figure at the club making a single rational decision. If he’s in charge for Wolves I suggest the initial chants are aimed at the board, not Europe’s greatest manager. We can turn on him once we’re 2 down after half an hour 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suhari Posted 6 February, 2023 Share Posted 6 February, 2023 Completely pointless to keep him. If he is in charge on Saturday do we really expect the players will be doing their all for him? Do we really think his 'gameplan' will suddenly start to work? Or is it more likely that players will down-tools and we'll see another home defeat? Of course they should not do that, being professionals; but if they really don't like him and want him gone... Saturday could be carnage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
