NEEJ Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 4 minutes ago, TRon said: He also took Liverpool from a title winning team to one that was floundering in the middle of the table by the time he left. I had no idea how little love the Scousers have for him either after his dealings with the Sun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Just now, Optimistic Nut said: Downie saying that although Jones has been told he'd be Caretaker Manager on Saturday, he wouldn't be surprised if that situation changed again. The new owners aren't going to leave him in charge a moment longer than necessary, whatever they might be saying publicly. They will want a manager who has an international reputation and can attract top talent. I would think we'll see more changes over the coming weeks as the DoF is appointed.

SUPERTOON Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Just now, POOT 2.0 said: If Jones was always an acceptable option as interim, then Bruce would have gone before the Spurs game. So it points more to the theory they wanted a replacement before binning Bruce. I feel they're very close to confirming a new manager, hence the movement now. I reckon we'll hear an announcement before the weekend. Maybe the new man will be there watching on Saturday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone in place for Palace but I doubt they would make the interim statement they did if we are very close to appointing someone full time. Maybe a little "under promise, over deliver", if we are lucky and they are just covering all bases in case something falls through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'll hear an announcement before the weekend. Let’s hope so. But I actually think they just wanted to give him the 1000th game in the end. They knew that they couldn’t get anyone in right away so decided to be nice so that the media wouldn’t have overreacted about sacking him on 999 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the idea that we actually have a good quality shortlist who’ll be wanting to sell themselves to us as much as us them, rather than going down to 10th choice with the remit of finishing 17th, is amazing.

I just think, caretaker is a little disrespectful, in their vernacular anyway. I wouldn’t read too much into it in the interim!

I’m not advocating him in anything other than an ambassadorial role but for the record he’d not watched a game for 7 years when he took over the first time.
