Lost the plot

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

Job’s too big for him, as you said, lost the plot.

TBF…..he was out of his depth at Luton.

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

He has had his fair share of odd interviews. Didn’t he have one after we beat them once.

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

Why’s he lost the plot? Did I miss something? He said he’s compromised and he won’t in the future. The video title is also misleading he didn’t say that.

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

The problem with football these days , especially in the top divisions is the sense of entitlement the clubs and sometimes the fans have

Southampton are a yo yo club these days after many years in the old first division

A couple of wins and they shoot up

Another season the same side could be mid table

Or equally relegated

I am sure he's quite a good manager and he's right that Luton were hard working and very fast and direct under him

However he appears nervous and under pressure in the Southampton job and I can't see him lasting long

It’s everything most managers would want to say in that position but can’t.

His heads gone and it’s going to go one way or the other. History tells us when emotions come through it’s usually negative but may do him some good and give the whole squad a kick

Except he wasn't.

Agreed, don’t see what the fuss is about - good to hear a manager not using the usual platitudes. We, rightly, knock all of the “across the line”, “in the building”, “on the grass” bollox and then a manager who tries to be a bit different is ridiculed for “losing the plot”.

Lost the plot

How has he lost the plot? I think that’s a brilliant interview and exactly how interviews should be. In day to day life, managers do not have to get up in front of the world and explain themselves when things haven’t gone well. It doesn’t happen outside of sport. Every football fan complains about boring managers and cliches. Then you get a brilliant and honest press conference like this and people accuse Nathan Jones of losing the plot. Bollox. Fans demand to know what’s going on and then don’t like hearing somebody battling and backing themselves. Good for Nathan Jones I say. I liked Steve Morison and had no issue with his so-called “abrasiveness”. Do not moan about cliches and dinosaurs set in their ways, and then complain about somebody giving their honest opinions. Nathan Jones has only risen considerably in my estimations after this.

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

He came across as (the message boards favourite current phrase) “rattled” for me. Say all that behind closed doors if you need to say it.

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

It's Cardiff City's fault, sort of, indirectly.... Nathan jones was an apprentice from 90-92 at the club. He became good mates with Mattie Crocker (Llanedeyrn boy) who was there the same 2 years, and is now Dof at Southampton, who got the job at Southampton because Gavin Tait was head of academy when he went there (Tait was head of academy at city) So it's our fault and we're getting relegated again...... :hehe:

The exact opposite.

I’m surprised that anybody bothered replying to this post by Grangetown Blue. It’s either a mistake, a poor wind up or sheer stupidity.

Yep , twitching , fiddling with his t shirt , fast talking

He might always be like that but he was definitely on edge
