Dave Jones
Nigel Pearson
I don't think Dave Jones was miserable. He just didn't pander to the press or the fans. There's something about that I respect.
Moyes. Really respect what he's done as manager. That respect evaporates very quickly whenever I watch him give an interview
Michael O’Neill
Gary Rowett
Burrows didn't laugh much either come to think of it 🤔
Dave Jones is one of the world's most miserable people, never mind limited to football managers. Absolute dour sod. Listening to any of his interviews when he was in charge here was nothing short of painful.
I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Steve Morison yet- whilst not traditionally miserable like DJ, he's certainly got a gigantic chip on his shoulder about something- it's almost like he's got short man syndrome despite being 6 foot 2.
And yet he stayed for 6 years? I very much doubt that he did.
Maybe, just MAYBE he didn't have too much time for the media over the way that previous allegations against him were handled.
Just a thought......and far more likely than him 'being too big' for the club
I would find it difficult to walk in dave Jones shoes considering the horrendous things he was wrongly accused of and the fact that his dad died whilst in he was still under investigation which must have been awful for him and his dad
On a more general note I am not sure I care about the personality of ccfc managers as I'm more interested in results on the pitch and the way we play so they can be grumpy or turn up in a clowns costume as long as they don't play 5 centre backs 👍
Dave Jones was allowed to spend a great deal on wages and he threw quite a bit straight down the bog
If he had a side that was streaking away with the title then I am sure a lot of fans would have been more forgiving . I personally reckon he was here for 2 seasons too long , not including the FACup final run
He was treated extremely badly by the justice system and by the press but we were not there to be scorned
First two seasons were good but then he became very stubborn and miserable
