    Apologies was just flying through the posts and saw your comment to Tom - didn't realise you were referencing back.

    He definitely is the “gift that keeps giving” & I don’t see that changing regardless of results.

    At least Sport Republic should now (hopefully) realise that a manager's character and relationship with the fans is an incredibly important 'metric', not just xG or crosses into the box or whatever it was that Jones was good at for Luton.

    If he was that convinced about his 'own style', uninterrupted by the apparent noise, he would have adopted it earlier/from the start. He's blaming others to buy himself time.

    Exactly, if hes as strong minded as he claims and believes his abilities are as top notch as he claims. Why the **** is he doing things based other peoples advice/opinions just to please them. I've never met a billy big bollocks that does things to please others , the guy talks complete ****!

    I am with you, to me he is done, totally out of his depth in this league. His ego gets in his way every time he opens his mouth. Just like any thing in life, there are times that you say something and it can never be taken back or rationalized or be forgotten, he is at that point with me. I want us to win the rest of our games and stay up, but this guys get no more respect from me, and I am sure that he doesn't give a ****, and I am fine with that.

    On his form so far, he is a crap manager as well.

    Jones says "I could have stayed in a mining community, been a PE teacher and had a nice life, married a nice Welsh girl. Beautiful."

    No you ****ing couldn't matey. I got there first. You would have to put up with second pickings.

    I actually feel sorry for his wife and in-laws.
    They were probably so excited at having him in charge of the team they support and are now, possibly, getting all sorts of **** from people who know of their connection to him.
