Newport winning, Hartlepool losing

[Kris]

Jeff stelling just lost it live on sky, dave jones out

Hats off for the "passion", but a lot of the time he comes across as a bit fake.

Offered to resign as club president if he's overstepped the mark. Says this is not Jones' level. Fair point, Jones has managed at higher levels but he joined after the transfer window closed and there's not much you can do in that situation.

Dave Jones joined Hartlepool on 18 January 2017 which was during the transfer window.

As for not being able to do much after a transfer window has closed, what about Mike Flynn who took over at Newport in March & has done an amazing job?

OK, I stand corrected. However, the rant was completely wrong. If he is club president, he could have made his point off air.

Dave Jones is not a bad manager, let's be honest.

I don't know how you can say he is not a bad manager as his record with Hartlepool suggests that he is not that good anymore. I would say that he was not a bad manager but he was out of work for over 3 years prior to being appointed as Hartlepool manager & a lot can change in that sort of time. Just because he was a decent manager once doesn't mean that it will always be the case

In that case, then, Pele is shit and Cruyff has no pace anymore.

Pele & Cruyff were great players.

Ronaldo & Messi are great players.

Do you think that Mourinho could replace Jones and keep Hartlepool up? It isn't as easy as you portray, Jones is a good manager at a poorly run football club. You obviously have no idea what has happened there in the last 18 months.

When Jones took over they were in 18th place, 11 points ahead of bottom placed Newport. They are now 23rd & 2 points behind Newport. Under Jones they have slid down the table at a rate of knots. I am pretty sure if Mourinho took over in similar circumstances then Hartlepool would not be in the dire position they find themselves in now.

Maybe Hartlepool should have appointed Mike Flynn as based on what he has achieved at Newport, he would probably have made a better fist of it than Dave Jones.

Hypothetical. Check back and see what has happened there in the last 18 months. The club has been on a downward spiral for a while.

His record since leaving us hardly suggests him to be the great manager some City fans think he is.

His record at Cardiff suggests he isn't as shit as you think he is either.

Stelling has quit his "post" as club president at Hartlepool.

I've never said his record with us was shit.
