STOKE CITY have today parted company with manager Nathan Jones with immediate effect. Assistant manager Paul Hart and first team coach Joaquin Gomez have also left the bet365 Stadium. The Club would like to thank Nathan and his staff for their efforts over the past nine months. Nathan Jones said: “I would like to thank John and Peter Coates, firstly for the opportunity to manage this Football Club and then for the continued support and patience throughout my time here. I would also like to thank the supporters for their fantastic support. Finally, I wish the Club the very best for the future.” A new managerial appointment will be made as swiftly as possible but in the meantime Rory Delap, Kevin Russell and Andy Quy will take charge of first-team affairs.
Hardly ever turns around once a manager is said to be on his way out . He had a mini turnaround with a couple of results but once it’s set in , only a Couple of bad results from the chop
What's that scraping sound followed by a scream of anguish fading into the distance? Its Nathan Jones hanging on by his fingernails and finally sliding off that cliff face.
Considering they've got a chance of qualifying for the Euros still, I'm surprised by that. Though to do it automatically does require them doing some miracles, they have a decent chance of playoffs.
