    He's blaming everyone except himself.

    I've just done it with Paddy at 15/2. Expectation and hope sitting 50/50 in my decision making process.

    It’s a matter of when, not if. Solak must be fuming.

    Surely only a message from above could have been responsible for recalling and playing Janny B

    I can’t believe he’s still here.

    I was thinking of going to the Wolves game to see the new signings etc. But absolutely zero chance if this charlatan is still here

    I just hope he sacks the right one, and that’s not Ruben Selles.

    I really, really wanted to get behind the guy. It had a real underdog story to it and I thought the hunger and a never say die attitude would be implemented so that we at least competed in games and kept clean sheets.

    But that interview, I can’t get behind someone who is that toxic in public, I can’t begin to imagine what he’s like behind closed doors and on the training pitch.

    Im really torn. I'm kind of tempted to go just to get there and voice my opinion in what will be a very toxic atmosphere. Could be quite the occasion <laugh>

    I wonder if we’ll see some actual protests? Red cards and all, like the Branfoot days.

    I'm seriously considering not making the trip if he's still here, but..... it'd be good to expose mini Lincoln to a full house of toxicity at St Mary’s. The lad needs to have a more rounded Saints experience. He needs to enjoy the full pits of despair this club offers up on a regular basis.

    Decisions decisions.

    Apparently when he was at Brighton, Danny Cullip chinned Jones for being an arsehole to one of the elderly female canteen workers.

    Doesn’t surprise me. You can tell from his interviews that he’s an absolute arsehole.

    If he’s this toxic to the players, fans and club in public, imagine what he’s like behind the scenes.

    To be fair to Jones's claim about his statistics, it does definitely look like when he managed Luton they really did get the ball forwards quicker than all the other teams in the top two leagues. Give this chart a moment's thought (horizontal scale is number of passes per sequence) and consider how we'll look if we DO let him play us the way he wants to play...

    I obviously can't give a source or background - looks like a screen grab from a TV.
