Just very pragmatic, laid back and put a lot of trust in the players. Too laid back for championship, mind you he didn't get any help from upstairs in building a team to challenge for top 6,did he lose 7 on the spin? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Milan was spending as little as possible.I remember losing to Derby 3-0 and us hardly having a kick...the tactics were give the ball to Reda..That was a massive low point for me.

We should be like the Mongol hoards, striking fear and terror into all who stand before us. Teams should see us on their fixture list and think ‘let’s try and keep the margin down to three goals today lads’. Fear is our greatest weapon. Surely we should be like an elite star troop force with Bannan at the helm, buzzing our saucer around the opps box and then, with sublime space rays, fade the ball through for Windass to zap it into the back of net and make everyone wonder "what the hell was that?" and go join Qanon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was immense and his record is their for all to see He did a fantastic job He’d been through a lot of ( well at least one) netball players young enough to be his daughter. We would have kicked on under Megson and gone up after the derby win in my opinion. Dave Jones was a rubbish manager. He inherited a winning team that just kept winning, he didn’t have to do anything with it. Then when we got to the championship he continued to play exactly the same team every week despite us getting mullered. That 3 0 defeat at derby away was one of the biggest sh!t shows of a performance I’ve ever seen from a Wednesday team. He never came to training, probably because he was balls deep in said net ball player and then he would arrogantly spout off in the press that no one could do a better job than him, only for his assistant to take over when he was sacked and instantly do a better job then him. I didn’t like him and despite his lucky promotion, he for me goes down as one of our worst managers and a pretty awful human being to boot.

He ended up spending more time on the golf course than the training ground. Was an amazing run under him before that though - made especially sweet coming from so far back to pip our bitterest rivals to promotion Think this is spot on. Initially he did a great job but did lose interest and stopped going to training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason even though the mind the gap season was amazing, I could never take to Dave Jones , don’t know what it was? He just never came over as a likeable bloke. Not that it matters I suppose, he probably wouldave said same about me. I never liked Gary Megson much either, or Nigel Pearson or John Sheridan for that matter( media persona I’m on about obviously.) It’s all results based at the end of day isn’t it.

flying-owl Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 The key to Dave Jones success was the excellent coach Terry Burton. Unfortunately he left in July 2012 for a post at Arsenal. Had he stayed I think Jones would’ve had more success in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie melua Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Jones' problem was the loan signing of Jay Bothroyd On paper, a fantastic loan signing. End result, arguably the worst loan we've ever had. He completely destroyed the dressing room morale, giving it the big I am. Yet despite poor performance after poor performance, Jones kept picking him. He was never afraid to drop Martin Taylor after a bad game but for some unknown reason, not Bothroyd.

Keep winning and nobody cares Well Jim Wonk, I can tell you want it was about Dave Jones. He was a lazy, cheating, arrogant nob waffle. It’s arrogance isn’t it, horrible personality trait and those guys, unfortunately, have it (media persona obviously). I’ve no idea what they’re actually like, apart from Dave Jones who i’ve decided is a 100% bonafide tw@t flannel. You can’t like everyone and you seem to be a fairly good judge of character in my opinion. like you say though, I would probably have a soft spot for Kim Jong-Un if he got us back to back promotions.
