KaKa Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 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. This is interesting I read this about/from him, decent read. 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...
Kanj Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 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 So an 80% accuracy rate isn’t good enough for you? Lord, fucking Christ man. 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...

jackyboy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 If Jones is coming here with the idea that he could take over from Bruce then it wouldn't be in his interest for the team to improve in the meantime. Just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe MA has put out the rumours to try and provoke a reaction from Bruce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 There are plenty of cheap rubbish out of work managers and coaches available for Ashley to go for rather than pay money for this Jones. The fact he will pay money for him suggests Bruce isn’t going anywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collage Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Just make him manager then. He seems to be more of a coach than a manager, but of course he’d be an upgrade from Bruce. Maybe Ashley wants to bring in Jones as a coach with the intention of making him interim manager if he decides to sack Bruce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be similar to Cathro, highly regarded as a coach, did a shit job in his first stint as a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
