The Nathan Jones thread

[North Cardiff Blue]

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

I've watched the whole interview again just to check if I missed the examples of him losing it and, just like the first time I saw it, I don't see any. As I said before, it seems some have a problem with someone being brutally honest in a press conference. It was disappointing to hear him come out with an "in the building", but, otherwise, having seen it twice now, I think it's a better interview than I did first time around.

To my mind, what he's saying is that he got noticed by Southampton because he played a particular way at Luton in his second spell there, but he's allowed himself to be blown off course regarding style of play and it seems to me that he's saying he did so because he felt the style he used at Luton was too unsophisticated for the Premier League, but now he's made up his mind to go back to use his Luton methods at Southampton.

As has been mentioned by others, it may be that there are those in the dressing room who think they are above playing in the manner Nathan Jones was brought to Southampton to implement and, usually, in the Premier League especially, it's the manager who loses out in a battle of wills with his players.

We can see what he is trying to do, it just doesn't seem to work when he changes clubs, it's like he rubs them up the wrong way and they refuse to play, the same happened at Stoke and he was back to Luton where there was le expectation and he could mold the lower standard players into a strong team unit.

It's disappointing, therefore, that anyone gives him publicity.

Sutton is the very worst kind of pundit (if he can be described as such). He's football's equivalent of a shock jock. Dreadful individual.

That prize goes to Jason Cundy

Agreed. I’m sure in the UK you see and hear more of him, but from the little I see he comes across as one odious human being.

I’m amazed that anyone listens to or reads anything churned out by the likes of Sutton, Cundy etc.

The footballing equivalent of Jeremy Clarkson - just attention seeking and completely and utterly irrelevant.

(Sutton personifies the dreadful standards to which the BBC has sunk - that fact that his faux argumentative and hectoring style gets any airtime is just pitiful. Another media stream that I have ceased using. )

I must be getting old….. :-/

Re: Nathan Jones… not working out too well

I've been busy this week and it was only yesterday that I found out Jesse Marsch was sacked on Monday. I should imagine USMNT will be next. But I was quite surprised at that. Leeds think they are much better than they should in my opinion. Big club, but only by championship standards.

About to be available, absolutely shocking result at home against another team down the bottom playing 70 minutes with 10 men.

We now have a decent Manager...even if he goes down with us I would keep him in place.

I would not let Nathan Jones anwhere near the place..........

From what I have seen in recent weeks, neither would I.

He comes across as mental.

A manager fired by a team in Qatar, who marginally improved Forest yet had them scoring less goals, who has lost his last 9 Champiosnhip games with Forest and us, with a worse record with us than Hudson is somehow a decent manager?

I assume you can point to exactly what he's done as a manager in football?

He's a bit highly strung, if he was italian then people would be all over it, not the same when you're from the Rhondda Valley :hehe:
