Southampton have sacked manager Nathan Jones after just three months in charge of the Premier League club.
 
Not a surprise, putting the fans out of their misery.

Nathan Jones been gone too long.....from Luton (I’ll get m’coat). Surely, not a return ticket to Luton again?

It really is quite odd, he does really well at Luton, and he goes to Stoke and is ****e, goes back to Luton and does great, and goes to Southampton and is ****e. There is a moral there somewhere......
Is there much pressure at Luton, we could argue maybe that they are over achieving, Stoke want to be challenging for promotion munimum. Southampton are ****ed but need to stay up. There’s pressure in 2 of them 3 jobs at least, he sounded like it was too much for him
 
Luton have not exactly gotten even remotely worse since he left
Theyre in 4th

Probably so, but he made the decision to go into those situations and clearly cannot handle them.
 
I’m slightly nervous that they might approach Liam Rosenior. Hopefully they will go for experience in their current predicament.

He seems to be the type of coach that needs time to build a squad and get them playing how he wants. Stoke and Soton both needed someone to turn the ship around quickly, so maybe not the right choice of coach. Though as I said, he knew what was needed he still took the gamble to have a go. Nevertheless, financially he won't be out of pocket.

He had a 3.5 year contract-a costly mistake by Soton

Whilst I get what you're saying, it's easy to forget just how inexperienced Liam is as a manager.

12 games for Derby and 14 for us.


No doubt clubs are watching and taking note but I can't see any Premier League teams coming in for him...




...yet.

And Acun has tied him down to a 10 year contract with a £50 million buy out...
 
If I was Jones I'd avoid managing any more clubs starting with a S..

Why he wanted to leave Luton, twice, to fall on his arse at crap clubs, is beyond my reckoning.
