    Easy solution for picking the next managerial appointment.
    Put Rasmus on gardening leave for the rest of the season.

    The funny thing about Nathan Jones is that he bigged up his time at Luton but they are 4th in the Championship which is higher since he left.

    Rasmus needs to do the decent thing and put Jones out of his and the fans misery. Get rid now as you made a major **** up. Think we all need to accept that we are now probably down so needs to give a new manager rest of this season and backing in the championship

    And just when you think he can't get any worse, his coaching methods seem to dictate that the most lethal free kick maestro in the game now needs to pass instead of shoot from those opportunities.

    I don't think it is too late to avoid relegation but Rasmus needs to act now because the longer Jones stays the more likely we will be

    It is now 5:25pm and he hasn't been sacked yet. I hope the delay is finalising his severance package.

    Can I move on and suggest replacement for Jones?

    The Reims manager is doing a good job in Ligue 1. Got an away point at PSG recently. Downside is he will cost £22,000 in fines every game because he hasn't passed his UEFA A licence yet

    Can I suggest a replacement that would do better?

    Mrs No7. She knows nothing about football, but scares the **** out of me, so I wouldn't dare lose a game under her.

    Just let Selles manage. If someone better comes along, great. If not, he's not Nathan Jones.

    If Jones has any humility he will fall on his sword, he stated he would do it his way and not pander to others, he did and lost against 10 men! There are plenty of league 1 & 2 clubs he could do a job for. I have never gone against a manager it hurts. Plenty of schools looking for PE Teachers. I have never felt so low since Lowe

    Theo Walcott. Theo Walcott was ahead of Orsic. What an absolute dingus.

    Does anyone think having 5 subs makes poor game management worse?

    It depends if the manager knows how to use them, change formation have a plan B or C. It can be advantage in the right hands. It is definitely an advantage to clubs that can afford three first teams or a canny manager.

    Can’t believe what I’ve just seen. Very fortunate to be playing against 10 men after 27mins but take it. Winning 1-0 HT. Sweet but long way to go. For next 25mins Wolves smash us. Wolves make 2x tactical changes at HT & we’re lost. They should have made it 1-1 about 70mins. Massive let off & then a few mins later get their very deserved equaliser. Jeez they’re 10 men & bossing us across the park. Aribo on; OMG. Then really a deserved winner. We were totally tactically shiite 2nd half. Not sure whose fault? Lopi; very well managed & well done.

    And may I say, Sports Republic; deluded.

    Ps. Beat Chelsea & Leeds away & we’re probably still in bottom 3. Very sobering.

    Yeah that’s what I mean. I think some managers just think “fresh legs, great!”. Jones seems like such a fan of players out of position, just more options to shoehorn a winger at CB etc.

    Jeez, he’s now blaming the loss of having to play against 10 men as gave Wolves a free hit. Every ****ing week it’s a different excuse
