Is this on? Because its getting a bit cloak & dagger. I don't want to end up with Martinez in the dugout Saturday.

Why?

That's shit. He pushed himself on Ch4, and I thought it was his collapsed lung? But then he appeared on sky looking very ill and yellow behind the eyes, indicating jaundice, but obviously this confirms why now.

Followed by some sensible ones??

Appoint Potter with Brighton his first game.

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal is with Schar to be fair. He wasn't getting picked previously either. Its obvious with the Jones/Gayle thing he (Jones) might not be the easiest to get on with in some situations. Who knows if Schar is down the pecking order? Let's see what happens, big changes are going to happen everywhere across the club over the next 8/12 weeks.

Just the way you put it, Hes not a manager, never will be, when originally quoting me, like I thought he was? So we both know he's a coach then, great??

No of course I get that, I'm not sure he will get more games, I'm pretty sure they will act soon. I'm as frustrated as anyone else, I'm just not blaming Jones for that, there were players ignoring instructions, bottling it. Theres too many Thicko's among the first 11, Manquilo,Kraft,Longstaff,Lascelles, they're all brain dead in decision making and reactions. Are go to plan when in attack, look for a way to get it back to Darlow when we're frightened by the press. I'll let Jones off, and I dont want him sacked, that Mackem slaphead can go though, bizarre he's still around offering input.

Nobody said he was a manager. I did notice Staveley looked very frustrated, at least she's probably understanding the major issues she's now inherited. The players are not great, Lascelles encourages the midfield onto the defence, the players are as much to blame in all this. Major decisions from the hierarchy needed to transform this side after Christmas.

Jesus, rewind when Jones came in and everyone was shagging him. Two games managing shit players and he has a draw away at Palace, and a loss to the potential league champions, and current UCL champions.

I'm not blaming Jones so much for that. Most of the players are thick, this is the reality.

The know it alls claim Potter is shite though??

Was inevitable. Sat back, no imagination, Spent ages on the ball when in possession. And let Lascelles manage on the field.

I think we could definitely do more, I've been watching Jones constantly reminding the back 3/5 to move up, and push out, but Lascelles seems to be the voice on the pitch keeping everyone sat back. Its painful to watch, and yes a point from this will be regarded as a result, but we aren't playing Chelsea here,were just trying to stop them. The game needs runners, I'd be tempted to bring both Willock & Miggy on. Need to at least try here. Also noted, the players need to realise they do not have time on the ball, it's no wonder we lose possession within 30 seconds of having it, mainly down to players thinking they have so much time on the ball.

The fact they all quoted, Hooked easy....

What the fucking hell. This guy is in the same mould as Joelinton, Nicky Butt, Jack Colback, Alan Smith, I used to freak out when he was consistently picked week in week out, and offered absolutely nowt. Where the hell has he reappeared from, I thought those days were behind me?

Bellamy and Dyer. ??

Jardim has a few honours, most notable he put together probably Monaco's most fantastic young side and they played with no fear. Smashed Man City in the UCL. But the team was dismantled the following season, as so many big sides wanted Monaco's stars.

What's the Mackem filter like for these threads?

I quite like it, but then that would make me a wrong un, right.

Let's keep crying together

The back three, front three, but the middle is really poor. Needs steel and creativity. Like Tiote and Cabaye, Batty/Beardsley.

And the previous shrewd finances? Infrastructure?

Hypothetically speaking it could, or it might be some other expensive club, or world record fee. You know the point I'm gearing toward. Or would you like me to edit the post, and change it to, our first expensive signing?
