Only Henry has a higher goals:game ratio among the Top 30 PL goal scorers all-time. 13 straight seasons of 17+ goals in all competitions between Atlético and City. And yet he does feel underrated somehow. Outstanding player and striker.
The bickering is a bit redundant at this point. The bottom line is that Howe should have the final say on whether or not Jones stays on, and in what capacity. If not here, I’m sure Jones will easily land a decent coaching gig elsewhere.
Scanning the field and it doesn’t look like there are a ton of great options to replace OGS…unless the club is willing to sacrifice competing in the short-term with a view to a complete rebuild. Froggy is right about Conte; he probably would’ve had them competing for a couple of seasons but would he have stuck around longer than that?
I think Poch is the only appointment they could make that would have them competing immediately and also commit to the long-term.
