    Nice; he’s pretty smart. I can see why SR got hoodwinked.

    Can I assume after Rasmussen previous comments that there will be an announcement tomorrow or Monday?

    This guy is so pathetic. Small-time.

    And what the hell is ‘in terms of stuff’ ?!

    Nah credit where it is due, his overall job at Luton was genuinely incredible. L2 to championship play offs is huge.

    Just a shame for all involved he isn't cut out for this level.

    Teams can be hard to play against with 10 men, because they become compact and organised. But you stretch the game out, use width and make them run.

    He is on a different planet. I have never felt genuine hatred for a saints manager before (actually.. except Redknapp) but I absolutely hate him.

    Adkins ( hero) did the same for us, was he cut out for premier league we will never know, his appointments after Saints suggest not but then we got lumped with an Espanyol unknown Jones is not an Adkins.

    Yep, hard to play against. Not let them spank you over 45mins, totally control the game & win it. For **** sake.

    That just proves he doesn't know what he is doing. Our best CB and the guy who scored in the 3rd place playoff in the world cup aren't good enough for the bench is just mind boggling

    Said a couple times since post Xmas, didn’t think it could get any worse but it’s definitely the gift that keeps giving. NF > AV > WW <doh>

    As well as lowest away goal scorers, don’t wolves also have the worst away record in the league? And with 10 men they beats us.

    Yeah, he said that he would do things his way from now on. If you exclude the impact of the two new guys, the only difference I saw today compared to Jones' previous' games was...JWP passing some of his FKs and corners.

    I struggle to get my head around that being something which JWP himself decided upon.

    I’m getting my coat, can anyone offer up any cheese puns, to cheer me ? Never heard a more cheesy excuse than free hit for 10 men!

    I suppose that means it's good thing that all our remaining games are now a free hit for us.

    Even the wolves fans commented on this and are equally as mind boggled!

    There shouldn't of even been a first time. What other player in the world of that ability gets those free kicks and passes?

    BBC: Lopetegui and Jones were appointed to their respective positions within the same week in November, but their two situations could not be more different three months later. While former Real Madrid manager Lopetegui has more than doubled Wolves' points tally after seven Premier League games in charge, rock-bottom Southampton have now lost seven of eight under Jones.

    Just 3pts & that tally above excluded the Liverpool loss; so NJ can’t have that either. See that’s what you get with experience & a lil bit of nouse SR.
