richowl Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 IN.....no money to spend and has to resign the dross that we had last season because of that or not have a squad I wouldn't trust him with a decent budget. He also re signed the players but has since tried to offload them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richowl Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Absolutely bang on the money. The stuff coming out of S6 at the minute makes the Grassy Knoll conspiracy seem plausible. I'm no fan of Jones, but he is a patsy. There is a bigger story brewing. Definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IstillhateSteveBould Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 What then? Wasting a tight budget on renewing the contracts of easily replaceable players for one. Playing players out of position. Negative tactics. Blaming, instead of protecting the players in interviews. Failing to build up a rapport with the fans. Stunting the progress of good young players. Repeatedly dropping fans favourite and influential talisman Llera. Changing things when they were going well at the start of last season just to squeeze in HIS signings. They're just some of my reasons anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsh Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 OUT Dismantled a decent ish team by signing guff. The previous manager was building a decent side. This man took the glory for a bit and is now set on tearing that and the spirit apart. Decent manager in his day but unfortunately his day has gone.

Flat Owl Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 GTF OUT. Unmitigated disaster of a manager. Systematically destroyed the momentum gained by promotion by IMO an already motivated team coupled with a timely implosion at S2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagmeister Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 But if we were in a good position none of that would matter. Some of his actions over the past year have been bizarre and I believe they have substantially contributed to our current situation. He's been restricted for sure but he's not handled the situation well in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendaryswan Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 IN MM picks the team,buys the players, offers the contracts,hence we re signed 3 players DJ assumed would be shifted on,but were on cheap wages,he also hounded out COG. Wev gone from a boardroom full of old dears,to one controlling old dear. He needs to sell and QUICK before he takes us back to where we were,and take PA with him,the pair of em are screwing us,we must be one of the BEST supported clubs,with one of the LOWEST player budgets. It stinks Mandaric,your goosing us.Time to flip off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford_owl Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 DJ Out my reasoning is as follows He builds up under the problems like Hillsborough is scary (what he should be saying from a psychological point of view is Hillsborough is fantastic place to play and it makes it easier for us to win). he has no understanding of protecting and building up under the team so that their confidence grows rather than criticise them and make their confidence drop. a manager is much like the team psychologist and he needs to understand that public criticism and doubt of his players will do Fu.. all to improve their performance. i have lost all confidence in him as he understands nothing of the above.

Dan™ Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I was always very supportive of Jones up until after the Yeovil game when I heard him talking about the fear of playing at home. That took me back to when we were shocking at home for years on end and it was always used as an excuse by previous managers until Megson showed how it could be turned back around in our favour. I've been far from any kind of Meggo lover on here since he left, but a lot of the soundbytes he gave were very true and the key one that sticks in my mind is that as soon as you give your players an excuse to not perform and blame something/someone else (i.e. the home crowd), you subconsciously give them an opportunity to not perform to their fullest without fear of reprisal. I'm on the fence having been very pro-Jones since he arrived, though I'm very close to teetering over to the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Out - had two absolutely terrible runs last season, and this season we've gone backwards big time, I actually think we'll go down this year with Barnsley and Charlton, never said that so early but Dave Jones has totally ruined this side, he doesn't know who to pick any more.

"There's nobody else" would have had January and the summer transfer's to sort this mess out..................................... having said that "nobody else" would have had to do it with no money, but I'm sure they would have made a better fist of it, surely there must be players out there who would enjoy playing in "the bear pit that is Hillborough" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themaskedowl Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Out, but can't help but thinking something's not adding up upstairs, which has also played a big part as to where we find ourselves. I'm not feeling easy on what's going on at Hillsborough. While I agree largely and can see your point there is no way this is approaching the scale or intensity of the home care crew IMHO. You would have more of an insight to that than me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
