Nathan Jones sacked as Saints er....."manager"

[OddRiverOakWizards]

Sacked Sunday morning at 10 am: https://www.southamptonfc.com/news/...ball-club-nathan-jones-part-company-statement

Who do you want next and what are your memories of his short tenure?

I am wondering if it is a week too late and it is rare for me to be relieved a manager is gone, couldn't warm to him

 

[LincolnSaint]

Thank **** for that!! I genuinely think we're down regardless, but at least he's not overseeing it. ****ing joke of an appointment

 

[Osvaldorama]

Yyyyyeeessssss.

Now do whoever thought he was a good idea

 

[Saintjoey]

Bielsa please and thank you.

 

[Le Tissier's Laces]

Bielsa please and thank you.

No. Not right now.

I mean, anyone is an improvement, but we need someone who will solidify us, and will stay to take us up from the Championship. Realistically, Nuno for me.

 

[garysfc]

SR, you’ve finally grown some.

 

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

Well it is a relief he has gone, but not exactly a happy moment.

Sports Republic have wasted 8 games and a mid season break on him. That decision, along with others, has cost us our place in the league and likely means some of the future stars we have, along with our captain and potential club legend, will leave the club this summer.

I’m delighted he’s gone.

I feel weirdly sorry for him in that he’s so plainly out of his depth that he’s gone from the high of a potentially dream job to the low of realisation that he’s United a fan base against him and probably established his coaching level for the rest of his career.

I fear this has come a few weeks too late to save us but is obviously the right move

 

[Lovelocum]

Can we change the name of the Jones out thread to ‘confirmed Saints sack Nathan Jones’ and have all our slagging off in one place?

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

To think, we wasted our best chance of staying up by having this clown oversee our best run of fixtures this season. Ah well.

 

[saintrichie123]

Thank **** for that.

 

[Lovelocum]

To think, we wasted our best chance of staying up by having this clown oversee our best run of fixtures this season. Ah well.

Yes. The frustrating thing is with better management we would have won some of those games.

 

[Shandy_top_89]

Well it’s a step, but there’s nothing to celebrate now because the damage is done and we are utterly ****ed.

I also don’t trust them to replace him with anyone good, because SR have shown themselves to be completely incompetent.

 

[Schad]

Did I wake up before dawn in the hopes that I'd see that Jones was sacked? Yes.

Was it worth it? **** yes.

 

[Paddy Podped]

On a human level, it’s the coaches that go with him I feel sorry for. Stable and secure jobs at Luton, follow him here and watch him implode having just uprooted your careers. Hope they find something new quickly enough (and/or have a reasonable pay off)

 

[West Kent Saint]

Relief. Probably down, but had to be done. No idea what their plans are.

 

[Saintjoey]

I wonder what ‘reference points’ have changed between now and Tuesday night?! Or is it just the obvious one that we’re rubbish?

They will all be on huge money, compared to both the average bloke and their previous coaching roles, and will now receive that in a huge lump sum.

Jones was Championship manager of the season last year. They'll get another job on similar wages, or better, as what they were on at Luton pretty soon.

This is probably the best financial moment in their lives.

 

[Schad]

We should change the title to 'Jones: Out.'.
