AlanSkÃrare Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Graeme Jones, fwiw, is from another football planet. I've spoken to him. He's close with Graham Potter, they both studied Martinez after retiring and Jones then recommended Potter to Östersunds FK, the club where he made is name in Sweden, when he (Potter) was still a teacher at Leeds Met.

tgarve Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Meetings with players this week,he,s lost the dressing room,some of his comments in house have been unbelievable, players think it's a matter of time before he goes,also certain players refusing to start. Well given Ando is spot on with the lineups every time, I trust this like. Absolutely has to go if this is the case. Wonder if theres a chance of the players going direct to Ashley. He isn’t though he’s got it wrong twice... Think people just believe someone now if they say enough shit and some of it sticks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think people just believe someone now if they say enough s*** and some of it sticks I mean he gets it right pretty much every week, there is no way that the amount of times he does get it right is just someone making shit up. I mean he named all 8 changes for the game against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be some sort of thought process going on at least: https://thebootroom.thefa.com/resources/interviews/graeme-jones/all-about-the-player Very interesting stuff. When Rafa left I would have respected MA and his lot far more if they had got someone like Jones in, as it at least would have showed a bit more thought behind things and trying for someone with more current ideas, even though it would have been a risk. Just having worked with Martinez and been in that Belgium setup gives him far more credibility than Bruce. Bruce was as much a risk as anything they could have done anyway and we all knew it was never going to work out. Such a ridiculously dumb decision that was bound to flop, and on top of that we have to listen to him talk rubbish every damned week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 He was also completely finished at this level and would never have come back to it weren't for Mike Ashley. Loads of past it/retired managers have 100s of games under their belt. So it's meaningless at this point. More bullshit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 He wins 2/3 out of every 10 Premier League games he manages. Imagine that over a 400+ game career. I know he’s not always had good clubs but there’s a reason for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
