PortlandOwl Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I said about a year ago that he should go and at that time opinion seemed to be divided.I just wondered if there was anyone at all who still has faith in him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he turned it around I was holding out for the right to start threads saying I told you so. Looks like it's you who will be the one to steal the limelight now I have caved in.

Ronnie Starling Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I stand alone...but with Delia Smith. Come and have a go if you think ya 'ard enough! Serious questions why do you want him to stay? How do you think he will turn it around? As from what I have witnessed he seems to have lost the plot and chopping and changing with the hope he might discover a magic formula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadingOwl Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 He's saving me a fortune. I had a log fire, settee and chocolate cake on Saturday. Jones in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euse Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I stand alone...but with Delia Smith. Come and have a go if you think ya 'ard enough! At least you've aired your opinion, regardless of whether it differs with the majority or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) you will probably change your mind again next week Maybe but why would that matter? Football is fickle. Better that than rigidly sticking to a knee jerk opinion formed in the distant past. Edited November 25, 2013 by Beholder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to see any of our managers fail or sacked, for one. I also think Jones has pedigree. He's shown that at Wolves, Cardiff and Southampton. Milan chose to go about trying to establish ourselves as a championship club in a certain way by developing players rather than throw money at it. They would have hashed that plan together, and should be prepared to see it through. It was always likely to take longer and have ups and downs; we're not experiencing anything that wasn't a probability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevdi9 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 wolves cost him millions, Cardiff promoted when he left,although he stabalised em for 6 seasons so I will concede that point , megsons pedigree is as good if not better when you ad another prem promotion and Europe ,but people still maintain megson was rubbish yet dave is great ,, but all that aside as it is in the past ,what matters is now and the future and whichever way you look at it it's very Bleak for SWFC therefore he must go before we get any worse if that can be the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Whilst I kind of agree .... 2 'ups' / wins in 21 though isn't quite what we had in mind. I look at it longer term than that. First up...auto promotion. First down...start of last season. Next up....recovery second half of last season. Current down...first half of this season.

Hawkeye Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 id like him to stay, the alternatives are entirely unconvincing and irrelevant unless Milan opens the funds up to recruit better players in January. I think Jones is a decent manager for this level, and we are at the stage where he has got to have a go at teams and go for three points - when we usually play our best. Not sure im convinced he can keep us up, but i thought that last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Jones to succeed and at times have thought that maybe we are moving forward but all I see now is the first team going backwards to where we were when Jones came in and ultimately that is what managers will be judged on. Its not helped him either with the poor runs we had last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
