Wake up today to the news the Jones boy has gone. Imagine my disappointment! |  |

I don't think time is helping him.
900+ people logged on to an online discussion last night on the subject of 'Jones Out'. (Including Lavia!)
Jones Out all over twitter.
Noone can find a good word to say about him.
The thing that is really getting me is that he has picked up 3 points from 7 games and added -9 to the goal difference and yet he somehow thinks that there is a planet on which it is OK for him to say 'OK, that's it, it's time to do it my way'!
The board can give him the Wolves games, miss out on more points and create the most toxic atmosphere that St Mary's has seen in a long long time. Or they can put everyone (including him) out of their misery. |  |

Well it's 11.10am and the announcement hasn't been made so I'll delete that rumour as I don't want to raise anyone's hopes. [Post edited 6 Feb 2023 11:13]

Who would we get in? Please not Lampard, Alladyce saved Everton from relegation by organising their defence but he's probably too old now? Bielsa rejected Everton because he judged their defensive players to be too slow, so can you say that about our defence? Whoever it is has to have 'top league experience'.
The other big mistake SR made was giving NJ a 4 year contract! I would have thought 2 years would have been prudent, so now they have to pay him £8m + the £2m that went to Luton in compensation. What a mess!!! | | | |

We have made some poor managers very rich. We gave Mark Hughes a similar sum. | |

If anything it’s more of a plan C
But yeah well he won’t be going until after the Wolves game as that’s the big one now that we really need to win, not only for how much we need the points but also to stop another team getting that bit too far ahead of us.
As if we loose that game and NJ ain’t sacked, then we are well and truly in for it! |  |

I cannot see why the club would have to pay out his contract. He has failed to do what he was hired to do so see you in court, mister. | | | |

Mark Hughes had plenty of PL experience, did the job and saved us from relegation so he was worth it. The club has raked in hundreds of millions because of that appointment.
This joker is the complete opposite | | | |

If he had any sense, he'd so a deal with SR and leave 'by mutual consent'. He's get some money but not the whole contact paid out.
At the moment, his time at Saints is a complete embarrassment for him. He doesn't strike me as someone who takes well to being embarrassed.
Leaving with some modicum of self-respect (jumped not pushed) might be attractive to him.
He's failed big time. He has to know that. He has to know that getting any sort of payment would be a a p!ss take in the circumstances. | |

Hughes' record was worse than Pellegrino's. It was a bit like the Ralph and Jones situation. But, we were not in the bottom 3 when Hughes took over and we stayed in the same position from Pellegrino's last game until the end of the season.
Hughes was almost as bad as Jones.

I know this isnt going to happen, but could you imagine the buzz around the place if we got Poch back until the end of the season. | |

Hughes saved us from relegation, but agreed he was terrible the next season and had to go sharpish. But he did the job he was asked to do....keep us up. | | | |

He knows he's failed. The stats don't lie.
Worryingly, reading between the lines of this sh1t-show, it seems to me that he's pissed off a good number of players over at Staplewood and the fella obviously has his favourites that will work for him.
The trouble is - these players aren't our better ones. I bet the mood over at the training ground this morning is toxic to say the least. No doubt Jones will have them all in for a meeting first thing & tell them that from now on, this is how it's going to be. I can't see the gloom hanging over the team being lifted by the manager however - not if they think he'll be gone very soon now. | |

We've all worked with people who are out of their depth, who try to act as if everything is fine, but whose faults are there for all to see.
Got to pity the players having to suffer this idiot for much longer. | |

Fair enough. That is the consensus of opnion. I'm in the minority in thinking he just kept us in exactly the same position (17th) we were in when he replaced Pellegrino. There was a bit of a new manager bounce and whether those wins against Bournemouth and Swansea would have happned anyway is debatable. I just didn't like Hughes and was glad when we got rid of him. | |

I think he’ll still be here for the wolves game which will lead to the absurd situation of having the majority of fans actively hoping we lose. Ultimately he’ll scrape a 1-1 draw and this will be enough for Ankersen to double down on his “I’m a tech bro football disruptor, no one else can touch my ted talk condescension” shtick, keeping jones in post for another couple of weeks. Well then lose them both and bingo - at that point it really is game over. Happy Monday :) | | | |

I would like to see the board at least approach Poch, offer him the job until the end of the season, IF he keeps us up then they can renegotiate, if we go down he's free to leave sharpish.

Plan A first. We have zero chance of beating Wolves with Jones in charge.
He’s alienated just about everyone at the club. | | | |

Talksport understand he's been given more time, lets hope it's no longer than 3pm today |  | | |

Assuming the team and manager did not meet yesterday (but they may have done) I cannot imagine what the atmosphere was like this morning when they all met up! | | | |
