Exactly. Builds a team that can aspire to promotion; gets pilloried for not getting us there.

Best manager in my lifetime. And I include the glorious Eddie May and his amazing 1993 team in that. We had the most exciting, attacking team under Jones. He brought in castaways and nobodies, and turned them into legends. Chopra. Jay. McNaughton. Whitts. Koumas. Scimeca. There will be loads more. He knew what he was doing and we were great to watch. That, in hindsight, was a higher watermark than either of our promoted sides.
