I do find it incredible that on the back of one good performance suddenly it is outrageous to think he could be sacked. His recruitment for his favoured system was awful & his selections, by & large baffling. Many of his signings have disappeared off the planet and our owners who clearly were targeting a promotion push are sat in early October looking at the bottom of the table with us on 5 points from 11 games. No how dare we be up in arm's. Who's saying it is outrageous to think he could be sacked? More and more posters are looking at the full horror of the alternatives and might be questioning the sanity of dumping our fourth manager in less than 2 years - but not believing that sacking Jones is an infallible route to safety and success is not the same as declaring that sacking Jones is unthinkable. By all means be up in arms - just don't be surprised if not everyone shares your belief that the only problem we have is the manager. In fact crack on - it reminds me of that scene in Clockwise where John Cleese batters his car with a tree branch for no good reason. But it if it makes you feel better knock yourself out.

I needed a result. I probably needed 3 but I've given them something to think about..." Hes a goner isnt he, or at least he thinks he is.

I never post rumours or ITK related stuff on here but I spoke to a bloke today who I know is very well connected to the media side of the club at high levels, he told me Jones was leaving and the club are approaching Hughton.
Obviously it may not be accurate but I 100% trust him and know he has plenty of real contacts at Stoke.

I quite like the fact he's acknowledged he still needs to win the next 2 games. It frustrated the hell out of me hearing he ramble on about luck, mistakes and being nearly a good time. All-in-all I think we know where we are, Jones knows he's one bad result from the sack and our board will sit with their thumbs up their arses until that happens.

His actual words were 'approaching Hughton again' I cant really see what's changed between when when we apparently approached him last time and now, unless it's our terms that have changed?

You'd hope if that's the case it would be improved terms Saturdays result may well help the negotiations also.

After Saturday's performance maybe they are hoping Hughton has changed his mind and no longer thinks we are a basket case and can do something with our squad. If the club has decided Jones has to go, and it is simply a question of finding someone suitable to take over, then they better act quickly because we might beat Fulham and Jones gets a bit of momentum.

Does Barnsley changing manager put more pressure on Jones?

This really is starting to sound like a soap opera, swings one way where you think he's staying, then the other with quotes from him which suggest he thinks he may have done enough to persuade them to keep him.. what on earth will tomorrow bring?!
