Of course, only he was a dead man crawling by then.

You think so? I was surprised when he left.

Jones played the derby down but those games under him against Martinez and Rogers were some of the best. McCormacks penalty, Bellamy's thunderbolt, Chopras winner are all great memories. Those squads stayed pretty consistent back then too so the players had a proper rivalry. It's a lot more transient now.

At least Warnock could get his teams up for big games, something Jones rarely seemed capable of whilst he was with us.

Maybe we don't need a cheerleader in order to have a decent atmosphere. Good football and good footballers will do the job.

Really?
I think most people expected his exit given it was a side that he assembled that was failing.

A good atmosphere and scintillating football is something we all want to see but surely ultimately success is what really counts :shrug:

They more often than not play like their lives depend on it, maybe it’s not such a big deal for our lot…..annoyingly
